Chapter 237 - Billie Jean (1/2)
After the event, Caspar invited Jean and Billie to chat and have drinks in the penthouse. Both agreed after they went out for a while to become the photo object of paparazzi waiting outside the hotel.
When they returned to the penthouse, Finland already found their faces plastered in several prominent gossip column websites.
”Gosh... weren't you only out for about 10 minutes? The gossip is already there!” She showed her cellphone to Jean and Billie who immediately checked their photos on the TMZ* and Nickiswift* pages.
”Wow... it was a good idea to wear that hat,” Billie commented, ”They'll think that you're trying to disguise yourself, so you don't get recognized... ahahahaha...”
”High five!” Jean raised his palm, and Billie immediately responded by meeting his hand. The two immediately laughed hard.
”Now Jean and Billie will become a hot topic in the entertainment industry,” Finland said, ”By the way, are you two aware that your names match...? You know Michael Jackson's famous song, 'Billie Jean', right?”
She showed a big headline on the TMZ website that referred to Jean and Billie as ”The Billie Jean Couple”.
The three laughed together.
”Jeez... I didn't know. Those journalists are very good at creating nicknames,” Jean said with a cheerful mood. He walked to the cabinet and asked Caspar, ”Can I take anything to drink?”
”Of course, the wine on the bottom shelf is the best, you can take one of those,” Caspar answered. Jean nodded and took out a bottle of red wine and a few glasses then poured the contents. Lauriel, who had just come out of his room, approach them and joined in the conversation. His mood looked good, because for the second time that day, he was willing to join people for a talk and drink.
”I'm impressed by all of you...” Billie said suddenly. ”Your friendship is very inspiring. I don't have friends like this...”
Jean tapped her shoulders, ”Jeez... what do you take me for?”
Billie smiled faintly and shrugged, ”You're not a friend... you're 'my boyfriend', remember?”
Both of them laughed and clinked at one another and bottomed up their wine.
Finland was very happy to see the interaction between the two. She thought about the time when she first saw Jean and Billie together. Jean, who had a good relationship with Billie's manager, came to Germany to accompany Billie to her concert at Aldebar's party because her manager was sick.
They then became friends and Billie asked Jean to star in a video clip for her new song, even though it didn't go through because Jean was hospitalized and was in a coma for 8 months.
Finland was happy because it seemed that the friendship between Jean and Billie was developing into something more, especially after Jean moved to Los Angeles. Finland secretly hoped that her two favorite people would have feelings for each other and then fall in love.
How wonderful it would be!
Caspar, who seemed to read Finland's mind, only smiled thinly. He would be very happy if Jean were to fall in love with another girl. He would be more at peace, because there was no need to be jealous of the friendship between his wife and the handsome young man.
