"You really have great taste in women. Are you sure princesses back home wouldn't be jealous?" Lilly leaned closer to him and whispered softly.

" You are overthinking things. I am just trying to help them because of Elise."

" Are you sure? I can see how they all look at you. Anyone could tell they are already smitten."

" Is that anything new? Everyone looks at me like that because of my good looks." He raised his chin proudly trying to dissuade her from prying further.

" I am just trying to help."

" Yeah, yeah, your version of help is gossiping which would only damage their reputation. I don't want everyone to think they succeeded because of him."

Lilly was impressed, she had been in contact with many wealthy people even nobles. Through her connection, she was also able to do work for the British royalty but none of them were down to earth like him.

He was still the same little man, who acted like adult even back then. She was happy to see that he wasn't jaded by wealth still his only weakness was plain and simple, women.

However, she was still surprised how he was able to pull it off. Normally, shouldn't they be mad at him for playing with their hearts? Was he forcing them to act normal? She shook off these thoughts knowing if anyone could do it, it was him.

" Good, I expected nothing less from you. Leave the rest to me, I will make them presentable enough that agencies would fight for them!"

" No agencies, I don't want them to have to worry about these things."

" Alright."

Seeing them whisper away everyone was curious what they were talking about. Elise came over and tugged ar Samuel's clothes that's when Lilly put on a big smile on her face and gave an introduction.

As expected, Elise was hesitant seeing so many strangers in the house but with the enticing offer of showing them his kid pictures not only little girl but others also swarmed her.

They curiously waited as Lilly tried her best to shift through her album. When they finally saw Samuel's photos from a decade ago, they couldn't help but gasp and yell out loudly.

It was a photo of him standing in the garden looking sideways which showed clear view of the large ponytail that he was rocking. The picture wasn't clear but it delivered how cute as well as scrawny he was when he arrived in the estate.

They laughed making strange noises zooming on his face, it's like what remained was his strikingly brilliant emerald eyes, rest of it was barely recognisable today.

Lilly had many sich pictures from his first audition. Elise would point and say loudly the names of other people beside him like his parents and grandparents. Even Emma and the original crew had few photos but suddenly the girls laughter vanish when they realised that he was the actor that played Harry Potter.

How did they miss it? Seeing it now, they easily recognised they were the same person. Lilly confirmed their suspicion, Roberta and Alana were very excited even Katarina and Helga had seen his movies.

As they were about to ask him why he didn't tell them, he already left the room. He couldn't bare to get embarrassed in front of them.

" He might act tough but he is very shy at heart." Lilly commented seeing their disappointment.

" I never expected him to be a real celebrity. It goes to show why is he so good at being secretive." Roberta added.

" You are right." Alana agreed, the small smile never left her face.

" They were his parents right? I think I seen his mother in couple of magazines." Katarina shifted the topic to his family.

" She stopped appearing in public for quite some time now but don't worry you will be able to meet them in the future."

" She is super nice!" Elise also added. They did hear about it originally from her so they were hopeful.

Still, their hearts began to worry as topic of his family came up. They were not famous or had a prominent background, they knew under normal circumstances he would be unreachable.

Only Helga stayed silent thinking what their future held, promises were one thing but they had to embrace the reality. Find exclusive stories on empire

Lilly didn't say anything, she skillfully changed the subject and asked everyone to start working to drown out their low mood.

She had plenty of times to have proper chat one by one. Henri guided them to an empty room while Lilly's team started unloading their 'arsenal'.

She started with Elise and casually talked with her about everything trying to know her better. Due to immensely busy schedule, she never had any chance to think about family or kids, but seeing how well behaved and cute Elise was she began to have some doubts. As a woman in her mid thirties, she had to settle down soon if she wanted to have children.

After Elise, it was Alana's turn. Her bubbly personality was enough to charm her. Even when she expressed if modeling was really her calling or not, Lilly reassured her that everything would work out if shebput her mind to it.

Taking her measurements, she found out how 'gifted' she was in certain departments. Still, she probed for more information about whether something was going on between her and Samuel or not.

Just looking at her blushing face she was able to guess her answer. Due to conversation steering toward private questions, Alana hurriedly asked her that she had something to do and left.

Lilly could only smile seeing a maiden in love. Her enthusiasm didn't last long because later she found out from Katarina she was in the same predicament.

She thought he told her the truth ehen he said there was nothing going on between him and them but noe she knew how weong she was.

Roberta who was unfazed by her inquires told her what they did, she even ratted out that she wasn't alone and Katarina was with her all the way!

Piecing together the information, Lilly realised they didn't really know that everyone was on the same boat. He manage to secure their love without letting others know about the situation. Lilly didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she found his secrets!
