Ugh, I don't want to watch Biilie Yves' concert , Marion kept thinking to herself.
She was still feeling jealous of that beautiful singer. I am perfectly fine sitting in the penthouse on my own, or keep myself busy with maps and sketches.
"Marion, listen to Jean," but Lauriel thought otherwise and told her to just go with Jean. What was it again? Relax and have some fun? A date and a nice dinner? Is Lauriel being himself? Heyy... Are you really Lauriel?
"This is an order. You go have fun." Lauriel then nodded and turned off the tele-conference.
Jean looked so happy when he said, "You heard the man."
It seemed, Lauriel actually gave his blessings for the two to really start dating.
After thinking it over and seeing Jean's sincerity, Marion finally relented. She felt that Lauriel was right. She didn't know what they would face next, so why not try to relax by doing something fun?
Although still a bit reluctant, Marion finally got up to get ready. 15 minutes later she showed up in the living room and was ready to go. With her hair arranged in a casual bun, Marion looked sexy and carefree.
She had chosen a sky-blue shirt with white shorts and sneakers that showed off her long legs. She looked very fresh. Jean was stunned to see her like that, welcoming him with a pout but adorable face.
"Shall we go now?" asked Jean, smiling broadly, trying his best not to kiss Marion. Marion nodded. Both of them walked to the basement parking and drove the Mercedes provided by the hotel.
Jean and Marion arrived at the Marina Concert Stadium half an hour before the event began and they casually entered the VIP waiting room. Terry and his friends arrived a few minutes later.
They all looked very impressed and did not expect to be so lucky. Not only could they watch Billie's concert from nice seating, but they also got VIP treatment and the chance to meet the superstar backstage after the event.
"Gosh, Terry ... we didn't know that you are much awesome than we thought. As Jean Pierre Wang's son, Billie is your future mother!" Donna whispered in a voice that was loud enough for Marion to hear. Terry's overzealous friends did not realize that Jean and Marion were sipping wine in a corner of the room.
"Shhh ... don't you know that Jean and Billie have separated?" Isla whispered while hitting Donna with her elbow. The girl looked surprised hearing that.
"Really? No way!! Then why is Terry still given out so many free tickets? Is it possible that their separation is just a marketing ploy like what other celebrities are doing?"
Terry rolled his eyes and brushed the two girls' heads together.
"Can you be quiet or not?" he sniffed. He had noticed his father and Marion in the corner of the room and he felt uncomfortable seeing her expression.
"Auww!!" Isla and Donna shrieked together. They rubbed their heads with expressions as if they were wronged, but they could not be angry with Terry. They finally noticed Jean and Marion and were instantly silent.
"Sorry if you feel uncomfortable," Jean said in a guilty tone, as if the big-mouthed students were his own children and he apologized on their behalf. Marion shook her head, not responding.
She now felt this was a mistake. She finally admitted that she really liked Jean and was jealous that he attended this concert to support Billie. Billie who had been his girlfriend for over 15 years.
She should have just stayed at the hotel. She could create maps, take care of Rosaline's face sketches and do anything productive. Anything but watching Billie's concert.
Her mind wandered off and she was no longer aware of her surroundings.
"Marion ..."
Her reverie was moved by the soft voice of the man beside her and the touch of Jean's hand on her shoulder.
"Uhm ... what's up? Has the concert started?" Marion asked lazily. Her eyes immediately went big when she saw someone very familiar standing in front of her.
"Sorry we are late," Endo, who was still wearing his flying coat, said with a wry smile. Marion was so pleased to see the man and jumped to her feet to embrace him.
"Endo!! I'm very happy to see you!" Marion's mood immediately changed. The twins were her closest friends in the Wolf Pack. She had expected the two of them to arrive at night, but apparently they had landed at 6 pm and went straight to the concert venue. "Are you here to pick me up?"
Marion wanted to immediately return to the penthouse with the twins. She wouldn't be alone then, so Jean had no reason to keep her with him at the stadium.
Endo scratched his head, "Uhmm ... after we found out about Billie's concert, we came over as soon as possible because Jean said he had extra tickets. We really wouldn't want to miss the chance to watch her performance!"
Marion glared at Jean, who smiled broadly. Ugh, Marion had forgotten that Neo was a huge fan of Billie's, and Endo was always happy to accompany his twin wherever he wanted to go. That meant they were here to watch her concert.
Inwardly, she was upset because she thought Neo and Endo had come here for her. Ughhhhh ...
"Where is Neo?" Marion asked irritably.
"He is waiting for Billie up front. He wants a selfie together and her autograph."
Marion stomped her feet and went out of the VIP waiting room to calm down. Jean hurried after her but as soon as he arrived outside, Marion had disappeared.
Jean only sighed. He didn't think Marion really disliked Billie. The girl was a very talented singer and was loved by everyone. Even Finland and many of his friends adored Billie.
He did not understand why Marion was so curt. If she really didn't want to come to this concert, why hadn't she just accepted his offer to accompany her at the penthouse? After all, Marion herself had agreed to come along. Why did she behave like this? Jean sometimes found it very difficult to understand women's hearts.
