Chapter 429 - IN THE BEDROOM??? (1/2)

Billie arrived at the Moonshine restaurant precisely at 7 pm. Jean, who had been there for five minutes, welcomed the girl with a happy face and planted a kiss on her cheek. He then opened a chair for her and sat beside her. The iconic singer chuckled noticing Jean had not changed.

”You still like to sit next to people.” The gorgeous girl with beautiful hair glistening in bluish highlights took her seat. She then continued, ”You still don't want to sit across.”

”Two people sitting across the table will make it look like a business meeting,” Jean said, shrugging. ”Friends or lovers should sit side by side. Don't you think so?”

”I agree,” Billie said, opening her napkin and laying it neatly on her lap.

She still looked like a girl in her 20s since that was when she first drank her immortality potion. Many people who saw her walking towards their table looked amazed at how beautiful this 45-year-old megastar singer was.

She and Jean used to be considered a perfect couple not only because they were both very good looking, but because they both looked equally young. Unfortunately, the romantic relationship they had for more than 15 years ended due to each other's busy schedule - at least that was the excuse they gave to the public.

”So far, what does it feel to take some time off from work?” Billie asked after ordering her food. She slowly took a sip of her wine as she studied Jean's face which looked brighter than usual. ”Did something good happen? You look happy.”

”Oh? I am? Well, yeah. I'm really happy. It's been a long time since I took a leave. Frankly, I'm now bored of always being recognized by people. Maybe after all my businesses are taken care of, I will fly to Switzerland, go into seclusion and live like an ordinary person, or even be a farmer,” Jean casually replied. ”People will slowly forget my face, and I will be able to become an ordinary man again.”

Billie chuckled after hearing that, ”Farming? I want to see you wearing overalls of a farmer and riding a tractor. I'm sure it will be cool.”

”Eh, I once acted as a farmer in a movie titled 'The Fateful Year'. You didn't like it because it has a sad ending,” Jean said. ”I played the role of quite a sexy farmer there. Many female fans forced their husbands to wear hats similar to the one I wore in the movie. That hat sold so well ... With that said, you can safely assume that if I really become a farmer, I will still be cool. ”

This time, Billie could not help but laugh heartily. Jean laughed with her.

”You're still as confident as ever, and full of yourself,” The female singer commented. For her, it was always entertaining to hear Jean telling stories about his fans.

How grateful she was that the two of them started out as friends before establishing a romantic relationship. Now that they were no longer lovers, they could still be friends, similar to Jean and Finland who were still friends even though Finland married Caspar and had her own family with him.

They chatted warmly while eating dinner. After they finished their meal, they began to talk over a cup of coffee. Jean thanked Billie for giving so many tickets to Terry to give out to his crew.

”Small matter. Let's just say it's a graduation gift from me,” Billie smiled. ”You're coming tomorrow too, aren't you?”

”Of course,” he replied.

”Thank you. This concert means a lot to me, so I don't want any scandal,” Billie sported a regretful expression. ”If tomorrow, the reporters suddenly started criticizing you about our past relationship, please just ignore it.”

”Don't worry. I'll just make them see that we are still okay with each other,” Jean answered firmly. ”I'm definitely coming.”

Jean knew that in his ex-girlfriend's current situation, he had to give her his support by coming and showing the world that their relationship was still fine despite their separation.

At 9 pm, the pleasant dinner finally ended. After escorting Billie to her suite at the Continental Hotel, Jean hurriedly went up to the penthouse to look for Marion. The girl had already returned to her own room and appeared to be busy in a teleconference with several people. Jean recognized Lauriel as one of them.

”Hey, are you still busy?” Jean asked, sitting next to Marion. The girl just glanced at him from one corner of her eye and continued to focus her attention on Petra who was still speaking. Jean brought his face near Marion's ear and whispered softly to her, ”Lauriel is watching, don't you want to make him jealous?”
