Chapter 17 Taking Her to Buy Toiletries

The phone on the car suddenly vibrated, a formal female voice came from it: "Reminder, take Lilian to buy toiletries before going home."

*Lilian was stunned after hearing this reminder, was he here at the **film **city **studio **for her sake? *

*Everything she used for toiletries at the Lombardi family villa was disposable, was he taking her to buy new ones? **The* *Mafia King know how to shop??*

‘"Snap -"’

Vincenzo suddenly picked up the phone and smashed it onto the back seat, his anger intensifying.

Constantly provoking the benefactor, should be a major taboo as a mistress, right?

"Then should we still go shopping?" Lilian deliberately softened her voice and asked, her expression showing her submission.

Although she didn't think she did anything wrong, staying in this deadlock would be harmful to her.

Vincenzo looked at her gloomily, suddenly pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her passionately, .

Aas if devouring her.

The kiss was urgent and domineering.

He didn't smoke, but Lilian could smell a faint scent of smoke, belonging to Yoo-na. This thought made her nauseous from the bottom of her heart. She tried to push him away, with her hands pressed against his chest, but he held her even tighter.

Flashlights flashed.

Lilian looked at him in astonishment, seeing the DSLR camera in his hand, and instinctively wanted to grab it.

Vincenzo blocked her with one hand and quickly flipped through the photos, his face clouded and unclear, "Why did you take pictures of me and Yoo-na?"

*Damn, he found out. *

"For the beautiful couple, to develop and hang them on the wall for admiration." Lilian replied with a fake smile.

Vincenzo's eyes darkened, flashes of anger passing through.

Lilian quickly changed her tone, with a malicious expression on her face, "Develop them to use every day to annoy needles to poke Yoo-na every day."

*And also **poke **annoy **him! *

...

This answer seemed to satisfy Vincenzo quite a bit, a fleeting smile appeared on his stern face.

"Just develop this one." Vincenzo placed the camera in front of her, it was the photo of them kissing passionately just now. Apart from her slightly furrowed brows, this photo looked like a genuine couple photo.

Lilian quickly flipped through the photos, and sure enough, all the intimate pictures of him and Yoo-na had been deleted... Her exclusive breaking news was gone, just like that... . It was truly heartbreaking.

"Come on, let me take you shopping." Vincenzo threw the camera aside and started the sports car, holding the steering wheel with one hand and gently playing with her soft hand with his fingertips.

This man's temperament... has become faster more erratic than the changing weather in June.

Lilian had a new understanding of Vincenzo.

Yoo-na had been in a relationship with him for a year, and she couldn't imagine how she managed to handle it.

*************************

Vincenzo took her to a newly opened large shopping mall to buy toiletries. Among the customers, Vincenzo's tall figure and handsome face attracted a lot of attention. Not to mention the body guards that were not so discretely following behind him.

"Wow... that man is so handsome!"

"He must be a celebrity, right, right, right?"

"But I haven't seen him on TV..."

"Should we ask for his autograph?"

"I'm too scared... Look, he has a girlfriend with him."

...

A few middle school and high school girls wearing school uniforms walked around them six times, exclaiming speaking loudly from time to time...

Lilian had never experienced being stared at like this while shopping. , The feeling gave her a sense of being like a monkey in a zoo. It made her very uncomfortable.

But Vincenzo seemed completely oblivious, pushing the shopping cart and constantly taking things off the shelves. In the end, he shamelessly stopped at the intimate adult intimate product section...

..."

Lilian really wanted to pretend she didn't know him.

While Vincenzo was focused on selecting products, Lilian quietly took a few steps back, turned around, and quietly walked away.

In the book section of the mall, there were people standing in groups of two or three, reading flipping through pagesbooks. Lilian's eyes immediately landed on the bookshelf with a book called "’The City of Art’".

The voice of a young boy echoed in her ears again, *"Lilian, Paris is the city of art. Don't you want to study directing? I'll **accompany **go with* *you."*

*I'll **accompany **go with **you.*

*Such a promising promise, William, do you still remember?*

*Even if you don't remember, it's okay, it's really okay. It would be best to forget about her too.*

She took down ‘"The City of Art’" and flipped through the landscape photos inside. Each scene was beautiful, and many places were the ones William had talked about.

It was a stark reminder of how she had once She had once... been so looking forward to going to Paris, with William.

"General ManagerMr. Spencer, the mall is currently in its second phase of leasing. Many brands are actively contacting us, and sales are good."

"Well, the brands that enter our the Spencer family mall have to go through a strict selection process. Show me again before finalizing the next round of vendors."

"Yes sir, General Manager."

...

A gentle male voice echoed in the quiet book section.

Lilian turned around dazedly and saw a line of impeccably dressed people surrounding a young and elegant man as they walked towards her. Along the way, they discussed business matters. The young man wore a simple shirt and trouserssimple button-down shirt and trousers, highlighting his slender figure, topped with a faint and elegant smile.

"It was clearly evident on his face that he always wore a faint and elegant smile.

*William Spencer.*

*So**So,* *this shopping mall belongs to the Spencer family's company.*

As if sensing her gaze, William looked up and glanced in her direction. Lilian hurriedlyquickly turned around, leaving the book in her hand and ran away without a trace.

"Miss, your book," William politely called out.

Lilian's mind went blank, not knowing where to run, she just hid on the other side of the bookshelf, her heart pounding intensely like never before.

There were footsteps approaching calmly.

For a while, the other end of the bookshelf was silent.

Lilian only heard someone asking in confusion, "ManagerMr. Spencer, is there something wrong with this book? Why are you staring at it?"

William's gentle voice reached her ears, "Nothing, it just remindsed me of a friend."

*A friend...*

Lilian covered her mouth, her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

*Does he still remember her?*

*He hasn't forgotten her**?**...is that true?*

"Could it be the manager'syour sweetheart, from long ago, that you have mentioned before?" someone joked on the side.

"Nonsense, the managerMr. Spencer is almost engaged."

"Hehe, Paris is a great place. Isn't the mayor's daughter about to be engaged to the managerMr. Spencer? They can go to Paris for a honeymoon! then." Several people chimed in.

William just smiled gently, saying nothing, and put the book back on the shelf.

"Let's go. Mr. Spencer, Manager, I'll accompany you to tour the upper floor."

"Okay."

After a while, the sound of footsteps from the group moved away.

*Is he getting engaged?*

*Taking his future wife on a honeymoon? To the Paris they once decided on for their honeymoon?*

Her heart felt like it had been cut by a knife, aching fiercely and bleeding.

Tears uncontrollably streamed down as Lilian leaned against the bookshelf, crying silently. The pain spread from her heart, gradually engulfing her completely.

Her phone rang, and the screen showed the words "Tyrant" flashing repeatedly, seeming a bit aggressive.

Lilian stopped crying, cleared her throat before answering, "Hello, this is Lilian."

"Where the hell are you?" Vincenzo's displeased voice came through.

...

*Was it necessary for him to be so **harsh **rude all of the time with**in* *his words?*

Wiping away her tears, Lilian casually replied, "Just strolling around, where are you? I'll come find you."

She really didn’t want to walk back over to the Aadult novelty products section...she really didn't want to step into that area.

There was a moment of silence on the phone before the cold voice resounded again, "Why are you crying?"

Lilian froze, looking around in astonishment.
