Modigliani - Part 1

“—Do you think I'm fat in this Federico suit? " - I asked him.
" - No sir. » - he answered me.


" - Ah good ?!
Do not lie.
I do not blame you.
I like you, you know.
SO ?
— You are enveloped, sir.
— How “wrapped”?
Go ahead, let go!
Here, what do you want to drink?
Relax, big guy!
A little beer?
Let's go ! »
And there, we drink each other.
At first he was shy and reserved.
And then little by little, he tells me about his girlfriend, where he came from, his mortgage, that he was very happy to work for me, etc...
And at the end, all confident and believing he had established a friendly ground between us, he said to me:
“—You are fat, sir. »
… I had to shoot him!
For what ?
Because you don't tell your boss that he's fat!
It was even a favor that I gave him: a clean and clear death.
With another, we would have given him the formula “screwdriver, scalpel, nipple electricity and tutti quanti”!
But I don't agree with this kind of method, I'm not like my uncle:
No, I advocate free things: something clean and tax-free!

With me, there is no trailer: you eat the film without notice!



Marcos.
The boss of Christie's: the famous art auction house.

One of the most important auctions of his career and that of Christie's history was being prepared: Modigliani's “Reclining Nude”; famous Italian painter better known under the alias Môdi.
Painting that Christie's decided to offer for $100 million.
$100 million to start.
The same year, Christie's managed to sell Picasso's famous painting, “Women of Algiers”, for $179.4 million.
Christie's is getting excited.
Sotheby's, the other major art auction company, is clapping its hands for two reasons:
- The first: "How can we let these Francoists, these Falangists, these fascists sell paintings of our fellow leftists?
Did Picasso paint Guernica as a gift to Franco?
No !
Would Modi have liked Mussolini to tap him on the shoulder and give him a nice, friendly smile?
No ! » Lopez, the boss of Sotheby's, violently launched during the annual administrative meeting.

— The second: “With these astronomical sales, this shit has managed to beat us in terms of audiences and publicity!
I want us to get back on top!
I want Christie's to die!


And I want to get there at all costs! » launched Lopez while slamming the door of this same meeting.
It was because of or thanks to this that Santos found himself in front of Marcos who had hired him as head of security for the company and coordinator of his trips.
It is because of or thanks to this that Santos would experience the most painful and enriching moments of his life.
