Kyle was done with his haircut but he didn’t want to go back home straight away because he needed the fresh air.
He sat in a park and simply took in his environment, appreciating everything that came with being alive because attempting suicide was no easy feat.
It took a different level of bravery and that still affected Kyle. He decided to end it all only to find something to live for but this emptiness still existed within him.
A part of him that longed for human connection.
Maybe that’s why the system introduced a harem category. Did it understand his innermost desires, he had done things he wouldn’t have done otherwise thanks to the affection bar and that was why he felt closer to Jane.
Without that affection bar, he wouldn’t be inclined to be so direct and the affection bar in real time would have been dangling at around 20% or thereabout.
Jane wouldn’t be as taken as she was with him, and neither would Calista, even though the latter was more of an experiment than actual interest.
Kyle threw back his head, staring at the sky but knew this was just the start.
He had so much to do, he went from having no dreams to having one people would call unrealistic.
Money commanded attention but status commanded respect.
He couldn’t have any doubts whatsoever but he began to understand the system only adds women he’s attracted to but also if they have feelings for him.
Kyle simply had to control how he interacted with these women, he had to do so carefully.
His legs were already exhausted, he wasn’t exactly in peak human condition.
“Perhaps I do need to exercise…” Kyle pondered on Aiysha’s offer but he couldn’t risk interacting with her more than he needed to.
There were other gyms around and there was no way that Aiysha would know if he decided to apply to a different gym with another trainer but what if she does find out?
“Aargh!” Kyle muttered to himself.
This was becoming a lot more complicated than he anticipated.
He knew the influences wives had over their husbands and that was the last thing Kyle needed due to Mr. Jones not just being his landlord anymore but a business partner as well.
Kyle needed a distraction, he had spoken to Calista a little too much recently and knew that too much communication would do more harm than good.
He had just spoken with Jane and knew he needed to give her space to miss him.
But then he remembered, he had a new lady on his radar. He had Cassandra even though she hadn’t given him any green light.
Kyle knew trying to get would be fun, that was the thing with most married couples.
After a few years, the passion and romance die and what better way to reignite that dying flame in one’s heart than with a stranger that reminds them of the desire long lost?
Kyle took out his phone but he saw a missed call from Isabella.
“Huh?” Kyle thought to himself not because of the missed call but because he didn’t hear it ring.
He shot Isabella a call, hoping it wasn’t anything important and it didn’t take long for her to pick up.
Kyle knew if he wasn’t who he was, a lady like Isabella would never have bothered picking up the phone.
[[Good evening sir…]] Isabella began the conversation.
“Hello Isabella, how’re you? Is everything alright over there?” Kyle inquired, he had told her to inform him if she needed anything previously and as such, entertained that as a possibility for this conversation.
[[I’m great sir and everything is better than ever!]] Isabella reassured him before continuing.
[[I have called to inform you that Calista Wave has secured the role.]] Isabella informed him.
“You did everything I told you to?” Kyle questioned.
[[That is right sir, I have told the Distort Company that “The White Whale” film is being produced that we were willing to cover 15% of production cost if they used one of ours as their main cast.]] Isabella informed him.
Kyle smiled to himself, Calista’s life revolved around his fingers and he could easily bring it all crashing due with a snap of his finger.
Kyle knew that he needed to start small and gradually gain contacts that opened the door for him to enter the doors of Hollywood.
“Thank you for this, Isabella,” Kyle responded.
Calista didn’t retain her role because Lucas decided to spare her, Lucas knew that Calista being chosen was a directive the higher-ups gave him.
[[The $15,000,000 has also been transferred from the Agency’s primary funds to conclude the deal. Would that be all, sir?]] Isabella questioned.
She was keeping a professional tone but she wanted to know who Calista was for him to go the extra mile for.
“That will be all. Thank you, Isabella. We need to get as many actors or actresses under our Agency out there so others will be inclined to register under us,” Kyle knew how actions came off as strange to her but this cover story did its job in giving her an answer.
“And what better way than to show the world that even someone like Calista could get a lead role in a movie?” Kyle dropped a rhetorical question but Isabella got the gist of it.
Kyle had picked Calista due to her poor track and used her as an example to show what the Agency is capable of even if it was a facade, it was a great marketing tool.
She has underestimated him, swallowing up the lie because it was a good one in all honesty.
[[That is genius! I can’t believe I never thought of this!]] Isabella exclaimed
“Good thing I’m here, get some rest Isabella,” Kyle concluded.
[[I will sir, thank you for giving me a chance to show you my vision,]] Isabella showed her gratitude that Kyle retained and gave her full control of his company.
“You’re too modest. I will talk to you later,” Kyle responded, hanging up the phone.
