Chapter 406 - Jean and Marions Agreement (1/2)
They sat on the bank of the river and talked about trivial things. Jean became talkative as he was influenced by the three glasses of glow wine he drank. Marion was very entertained to hear his stories as he talked about various movies that he had played throughout his career.
”Gosh, I now believe that you're very famous,” Marion nodded. ”Actually, I think I have seen one of your movies. I was bored that day and so I was randomly flipping through the channels on TV. Do you still remember the movie about the grand theft in Louvre?”
Jean nodded, ”Of course. I had to train very hard for that chase scene in Paris. Did you like it?”
Marion laughed out loud, ”Well, it wasn't ... bad. But, there were some scenes that didn't make sense. For example, the scene where you disguised yourself and went to the museum to steal the Monet painting.”
”So what?” asked Jean, interested.
Marion smiled broadly. ”For that scene, you should have consulted the only thief who successfully stole the Mona Lisa painting from the Louvre and exchanged it for a fake one. What you did was not the right way to enter.”
The girl patted her chest proudly. Jean was stunned to hear that.
”Are you serious?”
”I'm serious. So, remember this. The next time if you are going to make a movie about theft, infiltration, disguise, etc., you have to come to me. I'm willing to be your movie consultant,” Marion said earnestly.
Jean nodded with a smile, ”Thank you. But I have decided to retire from acting. After resting for a year, I will fake my death and start a new life somewhere.”
Marion turned her head and looked closely at Jean, ”Aren't you going to miss acting?”
”Hmmm ... maybe. But clearly I can't continue using my current identity. The whole world thinks I'm 45 now. Even though I am half Asian and I can claim to look young, in a few years people will definitely start to be suspicious”
”Then what are you going to do?” Marion asked again.
”Maybe I will work as a freelancer like you...” Jean answered simply.
Marion smiled broadly and nodded and patted Jean's shoulder warmly. ”If you bow down and call me big sister, I will teach you how.”
Jean laughed at that. This girl was very funny, he thought.
”Hmm ... I can give you something far better than that,” Jean said in a teasing voice. ”If you can teach me how to be a freelancer who can infiltrate the most strictly guarded museum in the world and steal famous paintings, I will teach you about men's hearts, so you can get the man you love.”
Marion was stunned to hear that, she looked at Jean closely and brought her face closer so that their noses almost touched.
”You are lying!” she exclaimed.
”How am I lying?” asked Jean, not understanding.
”You can't possibly teach me how to make Lauriel love me. Lauriel's heart is rock-hard. I've been trying to get his attention for almost 100 years, but he never returned my feelings! Not even a little bit.” Marion said.
Jean's cat eyes twitched after hearing that the man Marion loved was Lauriel. He had known Lauriel for 18 years and they always met during Christmas holidays with the Schneider family. He understood what Marion meant when she said Lauriel's heart was rock-hard.
”I'm not lying. I can make Lauriel love you in a few months. Do you want to bet with me?” Jean asked earnestly.
