Chapter 1012 - The Hearty Lunch (1/2)
”Ah, that's right,” Rose nodded in agreement. She turned to JM and Terry and smiled sweetly. ”Would you like to join us for lunch?”
Actually, Rune preferred to have lunch alone with Rose, so that he could spend time with her, without the third or fourth wheels.
However, what could he do now? JM and Terry were already here. Of course, Rose would become suspicious if Rune desperately tried to kick them out. Besides, it was clear that JM and Terry were heading to this restaurant for lunch.
It's better if they just ate lunch together then.
”Ah, if you don't mind, we'll be happy to join you,” Terry said happily. He did not care that Rune obviously preferred to eat lunch alone with his girl.
Terry just thought it was a good opportunity to get some juicy gossip about the Schneider family's youngest child.
The four of them then walked over to Rose and Rune's table earlier and sat down. Fortunately, their table was actually a table with four chairs, so they could all sit together.
The appetizer that Rose and Rune ordered had arrived. They had no choice but to enjoy the soup while they were still warm.
”What are you doing in Bacilia?” Rune asked Terry while enjoying his soup. ”Sorry, I have to eat the soup now.”
”Ahh .. it's okay. Go ahead,” Terry said casually. ”Well, I'm making a short feature film for my assignment. It's about royal romance. It's set in a fictional monarchy in modern times.”
”Ohh ... is that why you chose Bacilia?” asked Rune. He looked around and realized that Terry's choice of Bacilia was the on point.
In this city, there were so many historical buildings scattered on every corner. It was very beautiful and would be perfect to shoot a movie about the royals.
”That's right,” Terry said seriously. ”Apart from the various historical buildings, I also chose this city because of the grand wedding which will be held next week.”
”Grand wedding...? What do you mean?” Rune asked in surprise.
”In modern times like today, there are very few monarchies and ruling dynasties. We rarely get to see a grand wedding between two royal families. The wedding of the Crown Prince of Medion and the princess from Moravia is a very important and rare event. I can't miss it.”
”I don't understand,” said Rune. ”Since when have you been interested in other people's weddings?”
Rune immediately felt uncomfortable on Rose's behalf.
”Hahaha .. I don't care about whoever is actually married to who,” Terry explained. ”But I need to take some footage from the events. From what I've heard, there will be a parade, and the crowd will take to the street, etc. I plan to take a lot of stock videos for my upcoming movie.”
”Oh ... I see.” Only then did Rune understand. He glanced at Rose and was relieved that the girl didn't seem to be affected when Leon's wedding was discussed.
”That's right. I figured it will be better if I come here and take stock videos of important events that I can use in my movies instead of having to pay for the hundreds of extras... hahahaha.”
Terry then added, ”With only my cameras and two assistants, I could get the various scenes that I need with thousands or even tens of thousands of extras for free. I'll blur their faces so that no one will demand payment.”
Rune nodded in understanding when he heard Terry's explanation. Ahh .. now it all made sense.
”Oh, are you a filmmaker?” Rose asked Terry after she heard him explain the purpose of his visit.
Rose thought Rune had a very interesting network. She had met Nicolae and Marie in New York. Then, she also found out that Rune's older sister was married to a wealthy man who may have connections to the mafia.
And now, Rune even knew JM and her adopted brother who was a filmmaker? This man was really interesting, indeed!
”Oh, that's right. I am an aspiring moviemaker,” Terry replied proudly. ”I'm studying in a film school now. I hope someday I can be a famous director.”
Terry was impressed when he heard Rose was a painter. He had assumed she was a model or something of that sort.
