Hollywood Immortal Chapter 32 32: The City of Romance, Sophie Marceau

[Chapter 32: The City of Romance, Sophie Marceau]

That evening, Universal's French branch held a grand party at the Hilton hotel.

It had to be said that Thomas really ca through by inviting Sophie Marceau, though it was rumored that Elodie Bouchez was not in Paris.

Sophie Marceau was now around 26 years old, in the pri of her beauty, with her expressive, lancholic hazel-green eyes, flowing brown hair cascading over her shoulders. She wore a fitted blue gown that accentuated her shapely figure and faintly exuded the scent of Chanel No. 5.

Her appearance stunned Linton, but his own talents and handso looks also beca the center of attention at the party, naturally piquing Sophie Marceau's interest.

...

As the latter half of the party began and the socializing ca to an end, Linton grabbed two glasses of red wine from a server and approached Sophie. "Ms. Marceau, want to share a drink?"

"I heard you specially invited to this party today?" Sophie took the glass.

"Of course, you're my goddess; if I get a chance, I have to make my dream co true."

"Is that so? Your words are so sweet, you wouldn't be pulling my leg, would you?"

"Sweet or not, you can always check for yourself."

"Is that so? Then I really will check."

...

One could only say that Paris truly was a city of romance, where the air simred with the scent of attraction.

Sophie was also the type who loved passionately; perhaps it was Linton's striking looks and unique aura that captivated her. Not long after, they left the party and went to Linton's hotel room, where they imdiately kissed deeply as they entered.

"Hey, Sophie, you are truly enchanting..." The ensuing passion naturally erupted, with music filling the room.

However, Linton was pleasantly surprised that at the onset of their intimacy, his energy surged within him, executing at a speed far beyond the norm. Truly, Sophie was a global figure; her popularity went beyond re hype and helped Linton's growth much more than Winona Ryder ever could.

...

Two hours later, the passionate encounter took a breather. After the excitent, Sophie lay like a cat on Linton's chest, tracing circles on him with her finger.

"Linton, you're so strong; I thought I was in the heavens earlier."

"Darling, it's mainly because you're just so beautiful."

"Is that so? In fact, you're the most handso guy I've ever seen."

After saying this, she leaned in to give him a sweet kiss. Before long, they were lost in each other again, igniting an even more intense encounter.

That night, Sophie made Linton feel an unparalleled passion, especially the speed of his growth captivated him, prompting him to pursue her even more fervently. They stayed awake all night, and luckily, Sophie's stamina matched his. They fought evenly until dawn when Linton recalled he had a schedule later that day and reluctantly halted their activities.

...

"Darling, I've got a full day ahead, busy until the evening. Do you have any plans?"

"I'm dying. You kept up all night, so I'll catch up on sleep here this morning. Also, staying awake all night won't affect your work, right?"

"It's all good; my body is tough. How about I call room service for breakfast, and after we freshen up, I'll head to work while you rest?"

This night of shared intimate monts greatly benefitted Linton, equating to a month's regular training, allowing him to break through to the eighth level.

After a sweet breakfast together, Linton kissed Sophie goodbye and joined his staff to continue promoting as planned.

...

Accompanied by the branch's publicity team, Linton visited three popular tourist spots: Notre-Da Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, and the Seine River. French television's Channel Six followed him around to create a docuntary for future promotion. Linton felt particularly good and chose not to complain about his impressions of the sites.

Although Linton's fa in Paris wasn't huge yet, he was still recognized at each place, signing autographs and taking photos. Thankfully, it didn't lead to any crowding or traffic issues.

...

After finishing his morning appointnts, Linton hurried back to the hotel, where a well-rested Sophie looked radiant, almost glowing. He felt tempted to reignite their previous passion, but thinking of his afternoon commitnts made him hold back, making Sophie giggle in delight.

They quickly ate the lunch delivered by the hotel before Linton headed off for an interview with French Music Monthly. Sophie also left the hotel but promised to support him at his fan et later in the evening, making Linton feel touched.

...

Linton quickly instructed Duke to arrange for the Universal France branch and Sophie's managent team to send an invitation for her appearance at the et, paying the usual business fees. Duke was ecstatic, exclaiming, "Linton, you're amazing! Just imagine, the French goddess appearing at the fan et of the hottest Arican star Linton; what a promotional boost that would be, sure to grab headlines from all dia! It would greatly assist our promotional efforts this ti."

...

The magazine interview that afternoon went without a hitch, sticking to the promotional script.

That evening at the Paris Star Pavilion, Linton's fan et kicked off with a full house of 3,500 seats, predominantly filled with young people, over 60% of whom were won.

Feeling particularly good, Linton sang ten songs straight. Midway through, he ceremoniously invited Sophie Marceau to join him, inciting wild cheers from the audience and creating an electric atmosphere.

The event also featured several fans performing on stage and a lucky draw where 100 random attendees each received a signed poster. The fan et was a trendous success, with over 4,000 albums sold, and it was broadcast live by French television Channel Six.

...

When the fan et wrapped up, Linton returned to the hotel at 11 PM. As he was leaving for the next destination early the next day, they once again fully imrsed themselves in their passion without a mont to waste.

"Oh my God, are you a machine? You stayed up all night yesterday, worked a full day today, and you're still going strong; don't you need a break?"

"Darling, as long as I'm with you, I'm never tired."

...

It wasn't until the morning, at their final agreed mont, that they ended their intense rendezvous. Sophie felt a pang of sadness at the thought of parting.

"Linton, you are like an Apollo sent by the gods to ; it's such a sha we only had two days together before you have to fly off again. I wonder when you'll be able to co back next ti?"

"Darling, you'll always be my goddess. Don't worry, travel is so convenient nowadays; I can co see you or you can co see anyti. Plus, I suggest you develop your career in Hollywood next, so we can et anyti."

"It's a deal! We have to keep in touch. If you have ti, definitely co find ; I'll co see you when I can too!"

Sophie reluctantly kissed Linton goodbye. Linton felt similarly reluctant to leave, but there was no choice; the entire team and all plans had been arranged, and any rash changes would have significant consequences.

Nevertheless, the benefits from this experience were trendous. Not only did he break through to the eighth level, but he was already a third of the way through that level. Plus, he absorbed a good bit of Sophie's popularity as well.

...

Leaving Bella to continue forming the fan club, the group boarded a plane leaving Paris for Berlin. On the way, Duke expressed his nostalgia, saying, "Paris is such a romantic place; it's a pity our ti here was so short."

It seed Duke had his own fair share of experiences in Paris.

Indeed, on the 19th, various French dia reported on Linton's fan eting from the night of the 18th. The highlight was the gossip about Linton and Sophie Marceau.

Headlines like "French Rose Captivates Arican Singing Sensation" and "Arican Star Falls Under Sophie's Spell" appeared everywhere. Whatever it took to catch attention, they pulled in a substantial amount of traffic for Linton's promotion, though sadly he was already gone.
