Chapter 191 Meeting the Director (1/2)
Sam was at his desk when he heard Kyle calling. Seeing the serious expression on his face, he took his notepad and headed over.
Xing Han, all curious - and slightly jealous as well that Kyle called for Sam but not him. So he came bouncing over without any shame.
Kyle smiled at that and didn't mind Xing Han being around. If he had wanted to keep it a secret, he would have gone to talk to Sam privately rather than calling out to him.
”Turns out some hot-shot director saw my picture and wants me in his movie,” Kyle explained when they reached, ”So I'll need you to act as my PA then, Sam.”
”OMIGOSH! Really, Kyle? Really really?!” Xing Han was excited, ”I'll watch that movie 100 times for support!!”
”Please, I'm only meeting the director later. Nothing is determined yet,” Kyle said.
”Oh, pffft,” Xing Han said, waving his hand, ”We all know that's only a technicality. You'll be in, no problem. Who is the director?”
”I don't know,” Kyle admitted, ”I wasn't told but will find out later, I suppose.”
”Hah. Only go for it if it's a famous director. We can't have your star be marred by a substandard director and a low-budget movie,” Xing Han insisted, his face serous.
”I know, you're my #1 die-hard fan,” Kyle said with a smile.
”Yes, and don't you forget it!” Xing Han said, ”Oh dear. I need to go make some placards now. And banners and ...”
Kyle grabbed Xing Han's hands and looked at him straight in the eye, ”Don't go overboard, Xing Han. Please. No placards or banners.”
Xing Han pouted, pulled his hand away then huffed, ”Fine. No placards or banners.” He turned away, stomping back to his table then thought with a sly smile.
'But he didn't say no to Kyle T-shirts, bandana or underwear!' Xing Han thought to himself, 'Wait. Would an underwear be too much? Hmmm ... maybe having Kyle's face right at the crotch or on the butt cheeks would be bit too much. Maybe just the name 'Kyle' on the waistband?'
Xing Han rubbed his hands together in glee as he sat down and started doing research at his computer. He had SO many things to make and do.
Kyle watched Xing Han go quietly and thought that that wasn't the end of the matter but couldn't figure out what was going on in Xing Han's mind.
He shrugged and said to Sam softly, ”As I was saying, you'll be my PA then. I'll get Agent Oreo to stand in as my manager since I'm still underage.”
Sam and Kay nodded.
”I'll go find out what you'll need as an actor,” Sam said, heading back to his desk.
”And I'll go send the order to Agent Oreo,” Kay said, going back to her desk, ”What about Mum, though?”
”I'll handle her, once we have the deal set,” Kyle said, ”You handle Dad so that he'll back me up.”
Kay gave the OK sign.
Kyle leaned back and put back his filter glasses, staring at the computer. Mansion BMX, huh? What secrets do you hold?

Agent Oreo certainly put on an imposing figure. He was dressed in his typical black suit, sporting a dark pair of sunglasses and his hair was slicked back. When he first received the orders from K, he thought to himself, 'Ah. Babysitting duties again?'
This time, it was worse. He had to pretend to be this kid's manager and negotiate a contract.
However, as K explained further the mission, his apprehension about it flew away and he felt a bit ashamed of his earlier thoughts. Turns out that this Kyle was going on a mission to infiltrate Mansion BMX. The owner of the mansion was reputed to be a kingpin but there was no concrete evidence on him.
Thus, Kyle had to go undercover as an actor and assimilate himself into the movie crew. Gather the necessary information to give to the leaders of MIB. It was an important mission and to make up for his earlier thoughts, Agent Oreo took on his role more seriously than ever.
It's not to say that he would have played around or not do his job seriously. He was much more professional than that. However, now his heart was in it, coupled with the guilt of having any disdainful thoughts, he wanted to do an even better job. As such, he had studied the duties of an idol manager seriously.
