Kyle made so sense of Cassandra and was glad they saw things the sa way, as it saved him from going into details.
Kyle didn't know why he told Cassandra about his mother but he needed to get it off his chest.
Cassandra was a mother and right from the start, he could feel the nurturing nature in her.
Maybe he was so attracted to her because his mother was absent in his life.
It was not known if Kyle had mommy issues but he certainly reached the criteria for such a dilemma.
Kyle knew that Cassandra had the ans to see things through a lens that no one else was capable of because she was a mother.
"I should get going," Kyle said but Cassandra quickly got to her feet and rushed to the kitchen.
Kyle wondered what she was up to but didn't need to for long as she returned with a food flask.
He knew that she had cooked so this was no surprise but did appreciate the gesture because she didn't have to.
"Here! Please take this," Cassandra pleaded, handing him the flask to which a friendly smile creased his face.
"Why does it sound like you're planning to poison ?" Kyle joked but quickly realized that Cassandra might not get his sense of humour.
"Are you saying my food is poisonous?" Cassandra questioned with a raised brow.
"Shit!" Kyle thought to himself, that this was the last thing he needed because he didn't have the energy to start explaining himself.
If all it took was an apology then Kyle was willing to offer that so he could be on his way.
"No, that isn't what I ant to say-!" Kyle could tell halfway into his apology that she was ssing with him because Cassandra broke character, a smile creasing her face.
"You're ssing with , aren't you?" Kyle asked and that was when she burst out laughing, nodding her head to confirm it.
Kyle took the food and left the house, he spent approximately an hour here but it was worth it.
He got to understand Cassandra and her motives a lot better allowing him to know how he would move forward from here.
Kyle got into his car and left the area but he wasn't going back to Jane.
Quite the opposite, Kyle went to his club to see what was going on as he was the main authority there.
And there was a good chance that Nate wasn't expecting him so this was a good opportunity to see how he was handling the place in his absence.
Kyle walked into the building, he used the entrance to the restaurant and to his surprise, it was filled to the brim with a little line at the door.
Whoever Antonio was, that recipe must be the shit for it to attract these many people.
Kyle noticed that his daughter was nowhere to be seen but that was to be expected considering her age.
She wouldn't spend the rest of her life working as a waitress, especially with her father's recent success.
Kyle walked to the club and saw Nate was hard at work, he was in his blind spot so there was no way that Nate saw him.
Kyle noticed they had a few custors, which was strange considering it was dayti but once again, this place had a strip club in a different compartnt however it was defunct.
They hadn't recruited anyone yet because this would require a thorough background check. After all, sex was sothing that could easily ruin any business if done wrong.
Lawsuits, STDs, etc, there were so many variables and Kyle knew he needed an effective ans to not only keep the workers in check but the custors as well.
He didn't have those asures yet.
"Hello there," Kyle called out, this not only startled Nate but forced him to drop the glass he was holding onto the ground, shattering it.
"S-Sir! You're out of the hospital!?" Nate exclaid but quickly lowered his voice when he noticed the custors there had their eyes on him.
"Break another glass while you're at it," Kyle responded but Nate didn't hear a word, rushing to embrace him.
"I'm so glad you're good! Does it hurt anywhere? Did they catch the asshole!?" Nate exclaid once again and once more, lowered his voice.
"I'm good, Nate," Kyle responded with a reassuring smile.
"You're so cool!" Nate praised his boss because he knew he wouldn't be able to function for weeks if sothing like that happened to him.
"And you're so dramatic," Kyle said while shaking his head in disbelief even though he secretly appreciated Nate's concern.
"Anything interesting happened while I was away?" Kyle asked.
Nate dug into his breast pocket and retrieved a card before handing it to Kyle.
" What's this?" Kyle asked.
"Soone ca in earlier and asked to et the owner of this place. I couldn't get any more information, they were pretty shady," Nate pointed out.
Kyle looked at the card for a mont and tried to wrap his head around what they could want.
"Hm…" Kyle thought to himself, pondering on the possibility that this could spell bad news.
He knew clubs were a hub for illegal activities and there was a chance that this person wanted to talk business that pertained to the dirtiest of businesses.
There was no way that his club potential wasn't known at this mont because he did sothing that was not only new but original.
"Are you sure you don't need so more rest?" Nate asked, noticing that Kyle was out of it.
"I'm fine," Kyle responded, tucking the card in his pocket.
"Is there anything else you wish to tell ?" Kyle asked
"I think that's i-! Wait, I just rembered…" Nate blurted out before leaning in towards Kyle.
"The lady that perford here a few nights ago ca here earlier today… " Nate began.
"Ella? What is she doing here?" Kyle thought to himself as Nate continued.
"There was this other brunette beauty but I think you should know her, you danced with her after all," Nate pointed it out, implying that he was watching Kyle.
Kyle didn't think of this as a big deal because he knew that Nate wouldn't risk betraying his trust by revealing this information.
"And Ella might have said that you went ho with your girlfriend," Nate pointed out.
But Kyle was not as reactive as Nate would have thought, it was almost like he didn't care.
"I see, that might prove to be a problem," Kyle muttered under his breath.
The truth was that he wasn't threatened by Calista because she must have known that she wasn't the only one but there was no way that she would be foolish enough to make contact with Jane without speaking to him first.
Kyle knew she had more to lose than him so she was the one who was going to be on his best behaviour.
Kyle knew he had to be more careful because if Nate saw him then there was a chance that so did others. Calista to be exact but what she saw was limited.
Nate told him everything, including the conversation he had overheard and Kyle chuckled at Calista's antics.
She was indeed an actress but the affection bar remained unaffected so this news didn't sway her whatsoever.
Kyle checked his phone quickly and saw that he had no texts or calls from Calista. She must still think he was in the hospital and didn't wish to burden him with such foolish news.
Kyle understood the importance of communication but only told them what they needed to know.
"Excuse for a mont," Kyle said to Nate, taking his phone and calling Calista to see what she had been up to but almost like she read his mind, Kyle's phone rang.
It was Calista, she must have gone to the hospital and found out that he was dismissed.
"Hey you," Kyle began the conversation but what he was t with was silence.
Calista didn't expect him to pick up that quickly and went blank the mont he did.
[[Hey Kyle, how're you? I just heard you left the hospital, a heads up would have been nice.]] She responded, trying to co off as casual as she could.
"I'm so sorry, I wanted to surprise you but work ca in the way," Kyle responded.
[[Work? But I'm at your door…]] Calista responded and for the first ti, the king felt true fear or so the quote goes. Kyle knew that Calista seeing Jane in his apartnt would be the worst-case scenario because he wouldn't be there to handle the situation.
This could go so many ways but from what Nate told him, Calista didn't inform Ella of their relationship when she had every chance to so there was a high chance that she would do the sa here.
"Are you missing that much? It is a good thing you called or you would have been knocking for ages," Kyle responded, keeping his cool.
She didn't have the keys to his apartnt so this was the best she could do.
The chances that she would proceed to knock were slim.
[[Where are you right now?]] Calista questioned.
"I'm on my way to your place," Kyle responded, this was to instil a sense of urgency for her to leave the area.
[[Y-You are!? I'm coming right aw-!]] Calista stopped in her tracks because she heard movents from within his apartnt.
"What is wrong?" Kyle questioned.
[[I think there is soone in your apartnt…]] Calista responded but Kyle couldn't think quickly on his feet.
"Yeah, that is part of the reason I'm not there. There is so work going on inside so I thought I should kick it with you," This wasn't a lie, Kyle didn't lie directly but indirectly by omitting information.
There was indeed work going on and the work in progress in this sentence was Jane.
