Chapter 8. Frank and Marilyn
The main office of Sonia Rykiel was located on Boulevard Saint-Germain. I worked regularly with the designer, and there was a planned fitting. Sonia loved her models, and during lunch, she would often come to join the same table as the girls in the famous Café de Flore, opposite the studio.
“Anna, you have a call,” said the maitre d’.
I was very surprised when the maitre d’ called me by my first name, I did not know who, with the exception of the people from the agency, could know where I had my lunch break. On the phone, I heard the voice of Marilyn, the director.
“Honey, have you not finished yet? We want to invite you for dessert at the restaurant across the street. Come to Brasserie Lipp, please, I’ve already settled everything, and you’re free today.” said Marilyn.
I was completely dependent on the agency, as they were preparing my work permit and my visa and my papers were about to expire. It was clear that I had no choice.
“Darling, this is our beloved Frank,” Marilyn said, with her beautiful round body, an eagle profile, and impressive brown mane. After slipping into her chair, she carefully studied the menu. An energetic man of a certain age endowed with a diabolical charm who was, in my mind, very similar to Woland from Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita. As for his height, he was neither short nor tall, but just tall enough. Franck seemed to be in his late forties, his mouth slightly twisted, with brown hair and black eyebrows, one higher than the other.
“And now, Marilyn, tell us what needs to be done quickly and effectively for Anna’s career to take a new turn. Do you think we should change the color of her hair? How are her breasts? The teeth are good. I think you already know what’s best, don’t you?“asked the man.
Marilyn only lowered her eyes and smiled, answering softly and coquettishly, “Yes, of course, as you say, I completely agree with you.”
The next day, a black car with tinted windows stopped at the entrance of my building. The driver’s window opened slightly, and there appeared a male hand with an envelope.
“Miss, it’s for you, from Mr. Franck,” said the driver.
I did not want to open the envelope, but the driver gave me no time to think. Without having my answer, he stepped on the gas and disappeared. The envelope contained large notes, about two thousand francs. Upon returning to my room, I put the money in my personal model’s photographic dossier, a model’s book, and decided to return the envelope to the agency as soon as possible. All of a sudden, the landline rang; it was Mr. Franck.
“Anna! I’m right here, just in front of the entrance. Please, I really need to talk to you,” he said.
“That’s good,” I thought to myself. “Everything will happen without any witnesses, all the better.”
Through the kitchen window of my apartment, from the height of the second floor, I saw Frank downstairs, next to the phone booth. Seeing me, he shouted, “Anna! I am taking you with me to America, and you will surely become a celebrity. Come down, we’ll have dinner, and then we’ll go shopping!”
At that moment, I decided to get rid of this envelope with money, and I threw it through the open window into Mr. Frank’s face. He picked it up and said, “I am giving you until tomorrow to decide. This would be a second chance… my flight departure is late at night, I’ll call you!”
