Chapter 411 - Having Fun
Sighing inwardly, she knew she couldn't press on and finally wrapped up the segment.
Kyle bid his goodbyes to Shahdee and JJ, then walked over to Ramona.
Currently, she was being berated by her boss for the way she had gone off-script. Though the boss noticed Kyle approaching, he did not stop the reprimand, for he was speaking in their local language.
He did, however, lower it a bit so that he didn't sound so angry.
Kyle pretended not to understand a single thing as he came closer, keeping his face neutral. Once he reached them, the Boss stopped and gave Kyle a smile, thanking him.
Kyle shook hands with him and said, "It's my pleasure, Mr. Han. I must say, this was one of the most pleasant interviews I've had. Ms Ramona was truly a joy to work with."
Han puffed up his chest, appeased a bit and happy at the praise, then said, "My apologies for the very personal questions at the end. We do not normally invade our guests' privacy like that."
Kyle looked surprised and looked puzzledly at him, saying, "No apologies needed. I didn't find it intrusive at all. In fact, I'm always asked such questions for some reason but Ms. Ramona was the first to actually be so nice about it."
He turned to her, smiled and gave his hand out for a handshake as he said, "Thank you. You knew what to ask and how to ask it to get the audience's interest. I had a good time."
Ramona nodded, and took his offered hand.
Instead of shaking her hand, however, Kyle held it gently and made a bow from his waist. He turned her hand over and lightly kissed her knuckles, deliberately brushing his lips across them as he did so.
He then brought her hand down gently while slowly straightening his back, as he looked into her eyes and gave her a soft smile.
"In my country, we show our appreciation in this manner," Kyle explained, "I hope you don't mind."
Ramona shook her head, hardly trusting her self to say anything.
Kyle smiled wider, then with a nod to her and Han, he turned around and left.
"I suppose it was not that bad then and it worked out for the best," Han grudgingly admitted, "YOu made the right call."
Kyle wasn't out of earshot when he heard this and he was satisfied.
The last thing he wanted was to have gotten Ramona into trouble with him playing around like that.
"Is this going to be a normal thing from now?" Sam asked as they left the studio.
"Maybe," Kyle said, "Depends on my mood. It was fun though, wasn't it?"
Kyle grinned at Sam rolling his eyes.
?.?.?.?
Kyle, Kay and Xing Han were dressing up to go to Z, which was the hottest place to be for a night out. A club, much like Randall's Soul Bar.
Although Xing Han had wanted a 'BFF date', he understood that there was plenty of time for that. Right now, Kay also needed a day out, so he wasn't feeling miffed or anything like that.
"Sam?" Xing Han called out, "You sure you don't want to join us?"
Sam resolutely shook his head, "Such scenes are not for me. I won't have fun in them at all."
Kyle nodded in understanding.
In fact, he understood perfectly. In his past life, he had never been able to go out like this, nor did he have any inclination to once he was old enough that his parents let go of the reigns a bit.
So, in fact, this would be his first time as well. Missions didn't count, as he wasn't there to have fun but do the job.
He found that he was rather excited about it all as well.
What would it be like?
Of course, they weren't going to drink - and definitely, won't do drugs as well. Kyle knew of the wild and crazy stuff that went around in such places, but he was confident enough that he, and Kay, were capable enough to ward off any untoward incidences.
Between the two of them, they should be okay and would be able to protect Xing Han as well.
Xing Han's eyes nearly popped out of his face when he saw Kyle placing something in the hidden compartment of his shoes. It looked like shuriken, but he wasn't sure as it was quite small and Kyle had placed them quickly.
"Are those really shurikens?" Xing Han queried, "And why is the colour so weird?"
Kyle stood up, and nodded, "Yes, they are. They may be small but it's sufficiently deadly with my skill. As for the matte black colour? It's black ceramic, not metal. All our weapons are made of this, so as not to trigger the metal detectors."
"You're really going in armed to a club?" Xing Han asked as he looked at both of them.
Kay answered as she was putting on her earrings, "Of course. He's never unarmed, didn't you know?"
"Kay's armed, too," Kyle answered as he took his jacket.
He was essentially wearing the same thing he did in Country I, except he was wearing a tight-fitting white T-shirt and ankle-high leather boots this time.
Xing Han stared at Kay, looking and down, then shouted in amazement, "Just where are you hiding it?!!"
Kay was wearing?a red, glittering strapless micro mini dress that was (at Kyle's insistence) not as short as a normal micro skirt. He didn't want to have to worry about that skirt riding up and exposing more than it should, though Kay told him he was worrying for nothing.
Kay had the legs for it, and the dress showed it off to the fullest. The dress was paired with a black jacket and she wore black heels with it.
Kay just gave him a mysterious smile, put up her pointer finger and shook it while tut-tutting, "A girl would never reveal her secrets."
