Chapter 94 Safe - Maybe? (1/2)
Kay let go of Kyle's wrists as the guy came closer.
”Young man, thank you for your heroic efforts. I am Davis, owner of this Mall and am forever indebted to you. What's your name?”
”Kyle,” he replied politely, ”And this is my twin sister, Kayla.”
”Kyle! Kyle!” shouts were heard from the reporters who were trying to get a scoop, after hearing his name. They were ignored.
”Let's go somewhere more private and we can also treat your wounds,” Davis said, signaling his bodyguards that were a few meters away.
”Thank you, Sir,” Kyle said, ”We will be in your care.”
Kyle knew that he would not be able to leave in peace with all of the reporters around, so he took up on Davis's offer. The best way to get out was under the cover of Davis and his bodyguards.
Davis turned to the reporters and said, ”Please, we will release a statement regarding this matter at a later time.”
One persistent reporter still came forward and said, ”Kyle! What made you decide to risk your life for a stranger? Did you honestly think you could have done it?”
”No comment,” Kyle said quietly, but firmly.
”What would your parents think if you had fallen? Don't you think your actions were too reckless?” he badgered on.
Kay was annoyed and snapped at him, ”Would you have prefered it if my brother fell so that you would have a better scoop? Aren't you ashamed of yourself for even asking such a question?”
”He's your brother?!” the guy was taken aback. He could have sworn that the way they interacted was more like a couple than siblings.
Kyle stepped in front of Kay, effectively shielding her from the looks and camera flashes around. He glared at the reporter, ”You know, the law is strict here about the protection of minors. Step aside or expect a call from my lawyers.”
The guy was taken aback. Lawyers? This kid had lawyers? Who was he kidding?
Kyle, knowing what was going on in the guy's mind, looked at him coldly as he said, ”Try me.”
The reporter gulped, his instinct that had never failed him screaming at him to step aside.
He stepped aside.
Kyle and Kay followed Davis as he headed towards the lift. The bodyguards made people step aside, then when a lift came, politely told everyone to go out before they entered the lift.
Kay was busy on the phone at that moment and merely followed with Kyle guiding her by holding her waist. She created a WhatsApp group titled ”Stupid Kyle” and added Sarah, Beatrice, and Kyle in it.
Kay: Kyle's fine. We're going to the owner's office right now
Sarah: Thank God
Beatrice: Noted
Kay: I don't know how long we'll be though
Sarah: No worries. We'll go back first then. I'll wait for you at the dorms
Beatrice: Yes. Thank you for lunch and the spa
Sarah: Ya! Ya!
Kay: Gotta go. TTYL

Kay put down the phone and watched as Davis took out a keycard. He used a key to open a slot at the control panel, revealing a slit that the keycard could be inserted. He did so and pressed the green button labeled ”O”.
In the lift were Kay and Kayla, Davis and one bodyguard, the lady and her toddler who was now quietly drinking milk from a bottle. She was observing everyone around her.
”By the way, I'm Mary, and this is my daughter Dahlia,” Mary said, introducing herself.
”Kyle and Kayla,” Kyle said.
”We should call your parents,” Davis began as the lift went up, ”This is quite a serious situation and they need to be consulted.”
Kyle decided to take out the harness that he had tied around himself then. However, just as his hands reached up to touch it, Kay snapped at him, ”Stop it! Let me do it.”
Kyle sheepishly stood still as she slowly untied the rope and harness. She had studied knots together with Kyle, so it wasn't difficult for her to undo the knots. As she pulled the harness off him, Davis's assistant took it, saying, ”I'll hold this.”
”Thank you,” Kay said and also took off the chalk bag, which the man took as well.
”Thanks,” Kyle said, ”But it's not mine. I need to return it to Rock5 Gym later.”
”I'll handle it,” the guy said.
”Thank you again, Mr?”
”Harrison,” he replied.
”Thank you, Mr. Harrison. It's much appreciated.”
Harrison was taken aback for a while. It's been a long time since anyone actually thanked him for anything. Being Davis's assistant meant that he had to do a lot of errands on top of his normal job, but no one actually thanked him when he did it. It felt nice.
Harrison found himself smiling.
