Chapter 257 Proving Kyle Wrong (1/2)
[Kay, what's the situation?] Kyle asked, as he leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed.
[Bad] Kay replied.
Kay had felt Kyle's panic earlier, and thus, immediately accessed the CCTV at the airport terminal. She also checked for the cause of the sudden stampede and pinpointed it to the two posts.
Right now, she was watching the scene outside the First Class Lounge, which was still full of people waiting to see if Kyle would come out. They were safe inside, but they would still need to walk out to get to their plane.
[Basically, outside is kinda blocked with people] Kay said.
Kyle sighed, rubbing the space between the temples.
[What about the baby I jumped over earlier?] Kyle asked [Is she okay?]
Kyle had contemplated grabbing the baby and put her out of the way, but discarded that thought in a second. She would probably be in more danger in his arms, and that slight detour may have allowed the crowd to catch up.
Still, he was worried that the panic-striken mum who watched him jump over her baby would not have acted quick enough to grab her baby out of the way. What was she doing allowing her baby to sit and play in the middle of the area anyway?!
[Don't worry, brother] Kay replied [The Dad picked her up just before the mob turned the corner. Caused the mother to faint though]
[Serves her right] Kyle said without sympathy. He couldn't stand such irresponsible parents. Ignore the fact that the floor was so dirty and full of germs, she was completely oblivious or uncaring to the inconvenience she was causing to other people.
With that worry out of the way, Kyle sat back up and looked at Xing Han who was happily munching on some sandwiches. Kyle smiled at that. Xing Han looked so darn happy at such simple pleasures. He was glad Xing Han was here, for his presence calmed him.
”Are you up to a change of plans, Xing Han?” Kyle asked.
Swallowing, Xing Han shrugged and said before taking another bite, ”Do you even need to ask?”
”Okay, give me your ticket then,” Kyle said.
Xing Han did so without question. They had entered the lounge without registering, so they were only allowed access to the waiting area. It was enough for most foe it had simple food and beverages, and comfortable sofas to sit on while waiting for their flight.
The First Class lounge was actually much larger than this, and to enter the inner sanctum, they would need to buy an access ticket.
The First Class lounge here was #2 of the best first-class lounge in the world, with the best being the one at Country SA.
In the inner sanctum, it had a dining room with a restaurant open 24/7, limited private rooms with beds (single and double occupancy), an enclosed smoking area and even a small library.
Each access ticket was limited to 6 hours, and cost $180. The rooms and dining were separately priced as well.
Kyle went up to the registration desk and said, ”I'd like to purchase access for two people for the Exclusive First Class Lounge, for 24 hours. One private room for double-occupancy, with an attached bathroom.”
The guy behind the counter gulped. He knew that the first-class passengers were rich, but no one really used the First Class lounge for that length of time.
Not to mention, taking the most expensive room (the attached bathroom was exclusive and only 2 rooms available). It was much more comfortable to just book a hotel room for less the price.
”Would you like breakfast to be included with the room?” the guy asked politely, his inner awe and shock not shown outwardly.
”Yes, please,” Kyle answered, ”Are there any rooms available?”
”Yes,” the guy replied.
In fact, this was the first time anyone took that room due to the high price and the unlikelihood anyone would want to stay that long here.
”Great,” Kyle said with a relieved smile. Staying here for 24 hours would mean that they'd burn their ticket, but it was worth it. Everyone here was basically waiting for their flight, so it was highly unlikely that the people out there would still be there tomorrow.
Kyle went back to where Xing Han was, and told him, ”We'll be staying here for a day, until the mob outside disperses.”
Xing Han looked at him with a laugh, ”Wow. You're really that traumatised over them, aren't you?”
Kyle shuddered, ”You have no idea what it's like.”
”Pffft,” Xing Han replied, ”I seriously think you're exaggerating and over thinking this. Just wait a couple of hours and it'll be fine.”
”Ya think??” Kyle answered, unconvinced.
✿ Two hours later ✿
Xing Han walked to the door, his face full of confidence then looked at Kyle in ridicule.
”Look, I'm going to prove it to you, once and for all, that your fear of your fans is unfounded. They'll be nice, so long as you just give them what they want. A picture or two, an autograph. That sort of thing,” Xing Han said with confidence.
”Yeah, right,” Kyle replied, ”If it was one or two of them, I'd believe you. When there's a whole lot of them, they change.”
”Oh ye of little faith,” Xing Han said with a laugh, ”Today, I, Xing Han, will prove you wrong!”
