Chapter 150 - Missing Jean (2/2)
”All right, then I'll come along. I'll tell Rory I'll be home late.”
”Who is Rory?” Lucia asked curiously.
”My friend who looks after Aleksis...”
”Oh, okay. I hope he doesn't mind watching over Aleksis until the evening...”
Finland was sure that Lauriel would not mind taking care of Aleksis until night. He had actually asked Finland to allow Aleksis to stay over at his house, but Finland always refused because Aleksis was still so young. He had even prepared a beautiful room for Aleksis in his house.
[My office friends invited me to go to the cinema tonight. Would you mind taking care of Aleksis until 10 PM?]
[Sure. Have fun!]
Lauriel made Finland's miserable life bearable. She could focus on working, caring for Aleksis, and now she could even go out with her female friends because of Lauriel.
If she hadn't had Lauriel in her life, Finland would find it very difficult to keep her job. She had to stay at home to care for Aleksis and finance their lives with the money Caspar had given her.
At 19.30, Finland, Anne and Lucia entered the cinema. They had a quick dinner before going to the movie theatre and now they were enjoying popcorn while drinking soda. The movie would start in a couple of minutes
”Hey, I was told that the second lead is very handsome...” Anne commented in a whisper. ”He stole the attention of the main star of this movie.”
”He is a new actor from France, right? If I'm not mistaken, they are considering letting him play in the upcoming James Bond franchise,” Lucia replied. ”His name is... Jean, if I'm not mistaken. I forgot his full name.”
”James Bond? But James Bond must be English, Jean is obviously half Asian...” Anne asked.
”Not for the James Bond role obviously, but one of the villains who becomes James Bond's enemy. Like an evil mastermind from Asia - something like that...”
”Ohh...” Said Anne, as she looked at Jean who just appeared on the screen, playing music at the wedding of the main character, ”He has the face of an angel. If he gets to play the role of an evil mastermind in James Bond, it would be very interesting...”
”The director specifically asked him for the role. The director, Jonah Smith, really liked his performance in his last indie film.” Lucia and Anne continued to talk about Jean every time the man appeared on the screen. They did it by whispering so they didn't disturb the other audience.
Finland did not pay attention to the two, her focus was only on Jean who graced the scene on the screen. Jean was currently living his dream of becoming an actor, and his popularity was increasing by the day.
Finland missed him so much.
