It turns out, as a life coach, Pierre was… a failure.
At least when it came to Ava Gardner, he had failed.
Despite conquering her body over a passionate night, he couldn't shake her commitment to her dream.
"Darling," she said, sprawled across his chest like a boneless cat after their final embrace, "I know that if I stay with you, I'll never have to worry about life again… but I don't want to be a canary in a gilded cage."
Gently stroking her back, Pierre softly replied,
"If you ever get tired, come find me in New York. I'll be there for the next few years."
He respected a woman who chased her dream.
Before she left, he even gifted her a pair of diamond earrings — each stone a full two carats.
"Isn't that a little too extravagant?"
Even if they were synthetic… they were still diamonds!
After seeing her off, Pierre returned once more to the Pentagon, this time to finalize the submachine gun contract—which had come faster than expected.
