After being given the signed photo, he flashed a smile. "Movie queen Lihua, can we exchange private contact numbers?"

Lin Lihua frowned. Still flirting? "Sorry, I don't give my contact number to strangers."

"But I'm not a stranger. I'm your most loyal fan."

"Not even to my fans."

"Then take mine. Who knows, it might become your lucky number some day." He took out a business card and stuck it out to her.

Lin Lihua: "…"

Why don't you just vanish?

Seeing that she was unwilling, Henry Blanc let her off. What was the rush for? He still had enough time to chase his queen.

Lin Lihua ignored him and walked back to the rest of the group. She sat next to Wan Jia. Of course, a certain diehard fan sat next to her like it was the most natural thing to do.

Wan Jia looked at her naughtily and feigned surprise and worry. "Sis, do you have a fever? Why is your face and neck so flushed?"

Everyone burst into laughter, including Lu Aotian.

Lin Lihua really wanted to strangle her sister right now. How can she say such misleading things at such a time?! Although she wasn't blushing before Wan Jia pointed her out, she now felt her face heat up.

She stole a glance at the man next to her and he had a smile on his face. Well, that smile was worth blushing over.

Gah! What was she thinking? She really wanted to smash her head into a wall. Not only was this man married, he was also slightly younger than her. She couldn't be a mistress! Let alone the mistress of a man younger than her.

Because he found it fun, Lu Shaoting wanted to create more opportunities for Henry Blanc. "It's so fun to go out as a group. We should go hiking next time. Let's give Henry Blanc a memorable stay in our country."

"We can go to the North Mountains. After the hike, we will go to my North Side Villa for a meal." Lu Aotian wanted to help his friend out too.

Wan Jia coughed. "Sis, you shouldn't miss out. Aotian and I will cook. Besides, you are not shooting any movie at the moment and have all the time to have fun."

Lin Lihua looked at her sister helplessly. Had her brain been eaten up by Lu Aotian? Couldn't she tell she didn't want to be near Henry Blanc? Those who didn't know would think Wan Jia was trying to play matchmaker for her and Henry Blanc.

The next week, Elite Fashion World was preparing for a fashion show. Everyone was busy with preparing their new outfits. Wan Jia was no exception. For this week, she did not follow her mentor around to learn business.

As the top designer, she was busier than everyone else. On Tuesday, an assistant sought her. "Lady Boss, you and Su Ling are so busy for this period of time. How about I temporarily help you out?"

This was Ming Rui's former assistant, Xiao Rong. After Ming Rui was blacklisted and arrested, she remained jobless.

Wan Jia looked at her like she was being strange. Wasn't she the designer behind Ming Rui? Why didn't she find employment as a designer herself when her talent was proven?

Xiao Rong didn't know what Wan Jia was thinking. "Lady Boss, I will definitely do a good job and won't expect you to keep me after the fashion show. It's just for a week."

Wan Jia didn't want to make things hard for a fellow woman. "Okay."

When Su Ling heard her boss' answer, she frowned and looked at Xiao Rong with a sense of alarm. She better not be a second Lili out to steal from her boss because if she was…

She would personally look out for her.

Xiao Rong returned Su Ling's look. I'm not here to steal your job, okay? I just want a temporary job for a week. You don't have to look at me like I'm a thief, jeez!

...

With two assistants, the work load was easier for the three of them. However, she still had many meetings to attend with the department manager and the CEO.

This afternoon, she had a meeting with Lu Aotian. She wanted to use the company's models for her runway show.

This time, she was only going to present six outfits on the runway. For a designer with a status like hers in Elite Fashion World, six was already considered the maximum limit.

"I'm going to select five. The sixth one will be me." She thought of something else since all the other designers needed models as well. "How about I pick four and ask my sister for a favor?"

Lu Aotian disapproved her suggestion. "You could be considered to be promoting your own series, but sister-in-law is from another company."

She had almost forgotten something quite important! She was the lady boss of Lu Enterprises. What would happen if the Lady boss used models from other companies?

It would be easier if her relationship with the Lin family had been announced but since it hadn't, it would be hard to explain.

"Then, I will invite her as a guest."

"Hmm." Lu Aotian passed her another guest list.

"This is…"

"The VIP guest list."

Wan Jia looked at the names on the list and then back at her husband. She was supposed to invite them herself? But these people…"
