Chapter 272 End of the Year (2/2)

Instead, he ignored Xing Han and continued talking to Sam, ”Sorry, you were saying?”

”First, no. You did not bum off anyone. The Ellen Show had a last minute guest cancellation, as the she met with an accident. The Ellen Show had already contacted Chad some time ago about the interview. So, when the team called back to arrange for a suitable date, it was a win-win situation,” Sam explained.

”But Sam, it's Christmas,” Kyle said with a sigh. He remembered Kay telling him about how their mother was missing him; so he couldn't bail out during this important day, could he?

”Not a problem,” Sam assured him, ”I arranged with Kay already. Your parents will be at Country Hd as well, so you guys will be spending Christmas there.”

Kyle felt relieved. Sam was certainly competent and had considered all aspects.

”What about you, then?” Kyle asked.

”Kyle, I'm not even a Christian so why would Christmas be an issue? My parents are fine about it as well,” Sam replied.

”Okay, then that's fine then,” Kyle said when suddenly, Xing Han shouted, ”I am following, too!!”

”Xing Han, this isn't business,” Kyle started saying when Xing Han put up his hand, his pointer finger pointing up.

He shook his head while shaking that finger, saying, ”YOU are my business. Wherever you go, I shall follow.”

Then he pointed at Kyle, growling, ”You cannot get rid of me so easily!!”

He pounded on his chest, declaring, ”I am Xing Han!! Protector of Kyle. Keeping rabid girls and instant noodles away!!”

Kyle rolled his eyes and said to the ever patient Sam on the phone, ”You heard him. Make sure all arrangements will include him as well.”

”Not a problem,” Sam said, ”I will also inform the team so that they're aware and give him all the security clearence as well.”

”That's good. Great job arranging everything,” Kyle praised Sam before hanging up.

Continuing the meal, Kyle started thinking that the year passed by so fast. It was already almost the end of the year and after the Ellen Show, it would be back to school.

Not to mention all the to-and-fro he would have to be doing between school and the promotional tours. Looks like the Student Council President is going to be stretched thin next year.

[Thanks for arranging the Family Christmas Day at Country Hd, Kay]

[Surprised?]

[Very. It is THE ELLEN SHOW!!] Kyle couldn't contain the excitement in his voice.

[Heh. Figured you'd love it] Kay said with a laugh.

[Yup]

[It is a good way to wind down the year. Before you meet the new students next year]

[Why should meeting the new students be an issue?] Kyle asked suspiciously.

[Because Sayuri Hinata is one of them]

Kyle dropped his fork in surprise.
