33 Hour for reflection (2/2)
When Meg hears this nonsense, she laughed. Adam, probably doesn't even know who the current president is, as which are the main American political parties, but this boy who has no interest in politics at all has the nerve to ask such a question?
”You'll never be president.”
”And a mathematician?”
”You don't have the intellectual faculties.”
”Painter?”
”You're even worse at this than I am.”
”Garbage collector?”
”So yes, I will always love you as much, but I will force you to shower frequently. At least more than once a day, as you do now.”
Adam looks at Meg's teasing smile, he knows perfectly well who she mocks him voluntarily, but that doesn't make him angry, on the contrary, he really appreciates it. What he doesn't like so much is that behind that adorable smile and this sense of humour, the fact is that Meg is saying what she thinks. It doesn't matter, if he's a little stupid, you don't need to have 4 years of university education to smile or walk on a catwalk. On the contrary, the dumber you are, the less you ask yourself questions, Adam reassures himself, who takes Meg's hand, who immediately gets out of Adam's hands.
”I want to hold your hand.”
Meg shakes her head. Of course, she herself is very keen, but many factors come into play, which cannot and should not be neglected and Adam must be aware of this once and for all.
”Impossible, don't forget your public image. The agency was very clear when they told you, I believe. No, Adam, please, let go of my hand and listen to me. You are 17 years old, so your first audience is made up of teenage girls and very young women. For the moment, your celibacy, at least in appearance, is necessary for these ladies who fantasize about your image, so take into account. We've talked about it dozens of times, but I'll tell you again. Don't forget also, that in the eyes of others, I am only your agent and nothing else. A scandal if it can serve the stars, this is not necessarily true for those who do not yet have a solid foundation. Earlier when I let you kiss me, I showed weakness but, but, but, but, but Adam...”
”Do you think I'm so handsome?... Meg, seriously, why are you making that face suddenly?”
”...your mother disappeared.”
”Shit the country girl is lost in town, we're in big trouble.”
