Linton returned to the hotel by 10:30 PM, unsurprisingly greeted by Sophie Marceau waiting in his room.

That night, Sophie was clearly dressed to impress, wearing a red evening gown that emphasized her seductive curves, her golden wavy hair resting gracefully over her full shoulders, radiating glamour.

As soon as she saw Linton, she threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a fragrant kiss while whispering, "You little rascal, I've missed you so much."

After two months apart, both deeply missed each other and eagerly helped disarm each other's defenses. They soon beca completely intimate, beginning a passionate session that lasted through the night until dawn.

"Is it okay for you to participate in the fan eting with ? After all, I'm here promoting the movie Step Up. Hopefully, your agency doesn't mind?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. I don't have any movie releases right now, so it can count as helping a friend promote a film, and hopefully boost Step Up's buzz. The movie is really good -- I watched it twice and was deeply moved both tis. I heard it's already made over $100 million at the North Arican box office."

"Thank you for the complint. I think we did a good job too. As of yesterday, the North Arican box office totaled about $102.13 million."

"Of course. I'll notify you when the right role cos up. By the way, what do you think about going to Hollywood?"

"No problem, just call before you co."

"The ending song of the film is really well composed and elevates the the beautifully. Do you have a copy of the soundtrack? I want to practice now so we can sing together at the event tonight."

Linton asked ena to bring a Walkman and a soundtrack CD. The song was simple and catchy; Sophie learned it quickly.
