Chapter 187: Mrs. Anderson Seems To Be Pregnant
Unexpectedly, a large number of fans and celebrities visited the online shop in a few hours.
A star from the Anderson Group, who didn’t know about the truth, commented that it must be a wise choice to follow the recommendation from my boss, Bruce Anderson.
Hilla was confused.
Another famous star from the Anderson Group asked that whether she could order a tailored dress.
"What?" Hilla wondered.
Business partners of the Anderson Group also came to inquired that whether they needed the service of brand promotion.
"What happened on earth?" Hilla kept wondering.
As for fans, they expressed strong support to their idol in the comment.
But Hilla failed to figure out who they meant.
Hearing that the boss of this shop was charming and famous, other netizens come to visit it and they were attracted by the elaborate costumes.
"Hilla, the video is so popular. It is a trending topic now. The number of fans is also rising."
It was not surprising that Roger called her. But she didn’t expect that he found it so quickly.
Hilla pursed his lips and said in appreciation, "Thanks to your excellent technique."
She was a bit embarrassed to say that and she felt overwhelmed about what happened on the Internet.
As an outsider of the entertainment circle, it was impossible for her to become so popular. She still believed that she was attacked by hackers!
"Can it be true that someone I have offended comes for revenge?" She wondered.
She was more scared. But Roger, who was pleased by her words, said, "Hilla, you’re beautiful. The shine from a pearl can’t be blocked. I bet many people appreciate you."
Though he didn’t know what happened, either, he was pleased as the video he produced worked.
Hilla smiled and looked at Halle subconsciously.
She still found it strange. Few people noticed that video before. It was all very sudden.
"We should grasp the chance now. Let’s take more videos with different themes."
Compared with Hilla, Halle was quite rational and calm.
Anyway, it was good news for them. They could further promote their brand ’Halle & Hilla’ by taking advantage of the trending topic.
"Yes, Halle is right. I’ll come in few days. We need more materials and I’ll edit them as soon as possible."
Hearing what Halle said, Roger agreed.
The popularity of a video would decrease quickly as more and more people knew about ’Halle & Hilla’. They had to release something new to maintain popularity.
Hilla frowned as she was unwilling to be the model again, though, she nodded in agreement.
In the evening, Hilla complained about it with Bruce.
"I think someone knows that I am your wife and wanna slander me. Don’t you think so? I have 10 thousand new followers today!"
It was unbelievable for an unknown designer.
She got overwhelmed and told Bruce, "A company contacted me and asked whether I wanna be its chief designer."
What dumb luck it was? How could one become a chief so easily?
Although she was confident about her talent in design, it was really strange for the company to hire her, an unknown designer without working experience or famous work in this country.
"I think they are all liars!"
Hilla averred. She saw on FaceTime Bruce dealing with paperwork.
It seemed that Bruce would be particularly busy when she was not in Lakeshore Center. He would read documents and have meetings in the study room after returning home.
Hilla couldn’t help wondering if Bruce delayed his schedule to stay with her in the past.
If so, she seemed to be a Helen of Troy.
"If you don’t trust them, just ignore them."
Bruce said indifferently and then reminded Hilla, "Two days left!"
He meant that she should go home.
Hilla was stunned. She understood his words and blushed. "I’m afraid that I have to come next week. We’re going to take videos at the weekend," she muttered.
"Are you going to break your promise?"
Bruce didn’t accept her explanation.
She had to keep her words for Bruce.
Hilla shook her head immediately and said with a smile, "So I’m going to meet you tomorrow."
Some of her design drawings were left in Lakeshore Center. As the studio became popular, she had to make a greater effort.
Certainly, she also went back for Bruce. She did miss him in those days.
"Can you go shopping with me?"
Bruce was surprised by her suggestion. They had never appeared together in public.
It was no wonder that others asked him whether he got divorced. No one knew about his wife.
Bruce nodded and said calmly, "Sure."
"Darling, it’s very nice of you." Hilla smiled with satisfaction and sent a kiss to the screen.
"Well, I’ll be nicer when you come back."
Hilla knew that Bruce was flirting.
But she blushed again after hearing that. "I’m serious!" she said in a low voice.
"I am serious, too."
He did speak seriously. But his implication was not desirable for Hilla.
However, Bruce didn’t expect that Hilla came home so quickly. She immediately took him to the shopping mall before he could do anything he wanted.
Bruce raised his eyebrows. He took a black card for Hilla to splash out.
Hilla went to a maternity shop directly. She visited it a year ago. It was still in the corner, with only a few customers.
Hilla entered the shop. But she didn’t know that shop assistant. "I’ll buy all things here. Where is the manager?"
Bruce was shocked that Hilla decided to buy all things without a look. How lavish! Those clothes were enough for Halle’s baby and even their two kids, if they had.
Bruce came to realize that Hilla wanted more than two babies!
...
The shop assistant had been in this shop for so long. The shop was on the corner of the mall and never did any promotions. The goods in the shop were very distinctive but expensive, so business in it was bad.
It was not particularly unusual to have a guest today, but what was surprising was that she was so generous that she bought all the clothes in the shop at once.
She couldn’t sell them all in a year. The shop assistant looked at Hilla with sparkling eyes and at Bruce adoringly.
’As they say, no matter how hard a woman works, she could easily be surpassed by someone with a good husband.’ The shop assistant envied Hilla.
’Not only is he handsome, but he is also rich!
’He is not pompous as those rich people are. Instead, he is graceful. Every move and gesture of him shows his good culture.
’Such a good man is often someone else’s lover!’
The clerk took the card from Hilla and tried to calm down. She told Hilla in a soft voice, "Please wait here for a moment. I will contact our store manager."
The clerk was sensible enough to know that the owner of the store had always been a special girl, so she did not dare to agree immediately.
Hilla was not in a hurry. She confidently sat on the chair, leaning slightly against Bruce.
Bruce was very satisfied that Hilla was so dependent on him. He smiled secretly.
He stretched out and pulled her into his arms.
Hilla didn’t notice Bruce’s movements. All of her attention was on the shop assistant who was talking on the phone.
It had been a year and nothing had changed in this shop, which suggested that the store manager was a girl of insistence.
There were no marketing activities, and most of the things in the store were purely handicrafts. This further showed that the store manager was special. What she pursued should be the quality of embroidery, not its profits.
The owner must have been losing money in such a shop which was empty all year round. However, she did not care at all.
This also showed that the owner of this shop was not short of money.
Then, she must value the embroideries most here.
Hilla was testing the owner to see her true character.
Sure enough, the shop assistant quickly came over with a touch of embarrassment and carefulness on her face. She had a sense of foreboding that the lady might not
want to buy them anymore.
’It was really hard to make money!’
"Sorry, it is inconvenient for our shop manager to receive guests. We have free return or exchange service, do you want to..."
It was not too late to regret it now. After all, the goods in this shop were worth a lot of money.
Hilla smiled and shook her head. "No need to return and change. Please pack them all and send them to this address."
Hilla gave her the address and contact information of the Anderson Group. When the shop assistant saw it, she couldn’t help but secretly glance towards Bruce on the other side.
It was no use coveting someone else’s husband!
Hilla looked very calm and listened to the sound of checking out in credit card. This kind of sound was a dream for most women.
It took an hour or two to settle the bill and pack the goods of the entire shop. The shop assistant slowly returned the card to Hilla.
When a woman shopped, it was her easiest time to feel satisfaction as well as her husband’s value.
"I will come back when you get the new embroideries."
Hilla’s words made the shop assistant feel as if she were walking on the clouds. What luck! She would have a remarkable performance this year!
With this thought in mind, the shop assistant wanted to hug Hilla, wishing that she could come every day!
"We will have new stock in a week. Our products are all handmade, so it will cost more time."
If she were the owner of this shop, she’d go to the ends of the earth to replenish the stock.
Hilla nodded and left the shop with Bruce.
Bruce couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows when he got into the car. "Is that all you want to buy?"
Hilla nodded, and said rationally, "I was going to entice the owner to see me by it, but it seems that money doesn’t always work."
Look at that! Money was not a panacea.
Hilla sighed slightly as if she was disappointed in Bruce.
Bruce raised his eyebrows in frustration. Was it wrong to be rich?
For the next two to three weeks, Hilla went to this shop every week and bought all
the goods in the shop.
Therefore, for a shop that attached great importance to quality, there were fewer and fewer products that could be on sale every week.
Hilla didn’t mind going to the mall frequently, but Bruce followed her every time. Her presence didn’t draw much attention, but the card in her hand and Bruce standing next to her did.
Soon, Hilla became a trending topic on the Internet.
It was different this time. Before, people had been curious about her identity. After all, she hadn’t shown her face but had been retweeted by so many big names in business and the entertainment circle all at once. No wonder the public wanted to find out who she was.
This time, although she was still the person who had been gossiped about, the focus of the gossip was different since Bruce was with her.
The titles of the gossip news were like "The President of the Anderson Group Abandoned His Mysterious Old Love and Appeared in the Mall with His New Lover", "Mr. Anderson Spend Much Money for His New Love",
"Mr. Anderson’s New Lover Is His First Wife! Pregnant, Victory of the Legal Wife!"
"The Internet Celebrity Designer Was Abandoned and Her Business Slowed Down", etc.
Hilla looked at the headlines on the Internet, and her mind was in a mess.
Photos of her and Bruce shopping in a baby shop had been taken clearly, especially when she took Bruce’s card.
In the picture, she was smiling triumphantly as Mrs. Anderson.
She looked as if she were saying, "See, my husband’s card is still in my control, and you mistresses are like kittens and puppies, meaning nothing to me."
She was very happy to be called Mrs. Anderson. There was a change in public opinion.
There were fans of the couple for her and Bruce. After all, in the past few days, their public display of affections was so dramatic.
But some said differently, "The wife is not as beautiful as the mistress at all. They are no match for each other! Mr. Anderson must have been forced by her baby!
"I offer Mr. Anderson my commiseration. He could have had many mistresses. I won’t support them.
"I think Mr. Anderson’s wife is quite pretty but looks too young. It seems that Mr. Anderson doesn’t like to rob the cradle. He’s a good man."
Hilla looked at Bruce who was holding her and refusing to let go of her and sneered.
