Chapter 201 Shooting Begins (2/2)
”Mr Reeves! I mean, Keanu,” Kyle gushed a bit, then coughed, steadying himself, ”It's an honour to meet you.”
Keanu gave a smile that made Kyle weak in the knees. Damn this man was good. He was a natural charmer and didn't have to do anything!
Silly Kyle. While he's admiring Keanu for being the sexy stud that he is, he never realised that he, himself, exuded that sort of simmering sexuality as well. It wasn't at the level of Keanu yet but it was getting close.
This was all due to the fact that Kyle was still young, so there was still that invisible barrier that most people didn't cross. Kyle's training and past self helped him bring that sexuality out but it had to be 'activated' to get the best results. Keanu, however, didn't need that.
All he needed to do was just 'exist'.
Of course, in the future, Kyle would surpass Keanu in that aspect.
As Chad looked at Kyle standing next to Keanu, he couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied.
His instinct had been on the nose again.
Both of them had that innate sense of presence that could not be dimmed nor imitated. A sort of dark, dangerous sexuality yet a hint of innocence in Kyle and a hint of softness in Keanu which appealed to a lot of people.
Chad rubbed his hands together in glee.

As the crew members were preparing the set, Kyle read the script a few times.
The first time was to get an overall understanding and view of the whole movie. The second time was to highlight his parts. The third time was to jot down certain notes by its side of his impression of what the scene would entail and what was expected of him.
Chad had only given him the script now rather than when the contract was signed as Kyle's part wasn't anytime soon. For now, most of the scenes at Mansion BMX involved Keanu. They were going to film all the scenes which involved Mansion BMX within two months then go to other places for those scenes.
Kyle's part was only towards the end, so he had plenty of time to study the script and immerse himself in the role. Including getting to know the other actors and actresses, plus learn the fighting moves with the stunt team.
Despite the excitement that he felt over everything, he never forgot his main purpose of the whole thing: to infiltrate Mansion BMX and assassinate Richard Greene, Samantha's father. Richard was notorious in the underworld yet had such a firm grip on the police and politicians that he could get away with anything.
Big Bro Nitocris didn't really care that Richard was trespassing on his area for there wasn't much damage that Richard could do. He was like an annoying fly that buzzed around you. What Big Bro Nitocris couldn't tolerate, however, was the wanton way Richard did things.
There had to be order, even in the underworld. Otherwise, there would be chaos. And Richard Greene was the one that could be the trigger for that. He was already creating waves and didn't care about the repercussions. He felt that he was invincible.
Nitocris was to show him that he was wrong and Kyle was tasked to prove it.
So while Kyle was studying the script, he was also thinking of ways to slip out unnoticed and do what needs to be done. It had to be timed perfectly so that the job would get done yet the movie crew would not get involved or affected. Kyle gave himself two weeks to formulate the plan, two weeks to fine-tune it and then the remaining month to time the moment to do the deed.
He still needed that one factor though. If she didn't turn up, he would resort to another plan. He felt no guilt in using Samantha to get to her father, for Richard had to go. There was no ifs, ands or buts about it.

Keanu was watching the young man from afar and was impressed by the seriousness that he was giving to the movie. One thing that Keanu admired was hard work and dedication, upon which this young man was giving - something he rarely saw in the younger generation.
When he first met Kyle, he could tell the hidden excitement in his eyes as they shook hands. It was hidden well, and there was no shaking of the voice nor a show of nervousness, but Keanu could tell. That was due to experience more than anything and he took it in his stride.
Yet, unlike most, the young man didn't gush nor fawn over him. Instead, he did his best to act normally and talk respectfully. Keanu liked that. He was an easygoing person and wouldn't think negatively of Kyle should he be all 'star struck' but he definitely had a better impression of those who didn't and worked seriously.
He sat there, pondering and studying the young man.
Finally, after much deliberation, he walked over.
