21 Disillusionment and new friend (2/2)
”Beautiful little girl, isn't she? Please forgive my rudeness, I didn't introduce myself properly. I'm Roy. I play one of the secondary characters in this sad to die series.”
Near Adam, nonchalantly leaning against the wall, stands proudly, very smiling, a very tall young man of about 20 years old. Unlike other pretentious men on the planet, this pride that emanates from him, as it does for many British people, suddenly turns into elegance in the eyes of others when he displays it openly. The handsome blond guy opens the left corner of his lip, then winked at Adam, who almost sublimated by the young man's natural charisma, realizes that he still hasn't answered his interlocutor.
”Oh, I'm Adam. Nice to meet you, Roy.”
He doesn't know why, however, as he looks at Roy's green eyes, Adam feels quite comfortable. He doesn't look like the other good-looking guys. He attracts sympathy from the first sight, as soon as he opens his mouth, the person to whom he is addressing wants to answer him and even for someone as introverted as Adam, smiling becomes possible when you face him.
”Adam, a very rich name in many cultures if I compare it to mine. If I judge by your accent, you're certainly not English. So, tell me Adam, what are you doing hiding here when you're a guest of our beautiful country?”
Adam unintentionally lets out an ironic smile when he thinks he's bothering everyone here and understands that there's no place for him. When he is about to say that he is Jessica's girlfriend, he quickly swallows his words, remembering that Jessica herself did not even reveal their relationship in the open. Thinking about it, Adam is upset, but the pleasant and easy-to-talk boy is waiting for an answer.
”I'm an intern on Miss Benson's staff. Um, I think you can say that.”
To his great satisfaction, the great Briton did not show any overflow of joy. He simply nods in understanding and casually turns his gaze to the center of the room.
”Interesting, you came from far away to accompany your employer. Earlier, like everyone else here, I tried to greet Miss Benson, but approaching her seems difficult. I hope she will be more accessible during the shooting where this may cause some problems. Forget it, it's not up to me or you to fix the situation. I'm thinking about it, Adam, I can recommend a few addresses where you should absolutely visit if you're going to visit London during your stay.”
The worried look of the Britishman did not escape Adam, who, without asking any more questions, lets slip away: ”I will introduce you to Jessica, so you can get to know her, to free your worries about your work.”
