Chapter 321 The Ellen Show I (1/2)
It had been a week since Kyle had left Kai, and since MIB didn't report anything, Kyle knew everything was okay.
He had left the monitoring of Kai to Agent Milo, and left instructions that he was to do what was needed as per the file Kyle gave him and only report to him if there was a situation that he couldn't handle.
Kyle was confident that Agent Milo could do it, so once that was done, he decisively cut Kai from his thoughts. He focused on other things.
Like the Ellen show that they were going to do.
They were now in State C, of Country AS, near the WB studio where the Ellen show is recorded. They were staying at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, which was only 8 minutes away from the studio itself.
The reason why Kyle had chosen this particular hotel was because it had a 3,200 square foot Penthouse Suite, known as the Gable & Lombard Penthouse, named after the legendary Clark Gable and Carole Lombard that were the previous owners.
It was a three level suite with two Master Suites and a third bedroom, with a dining and living room with a sound system throughout the suite. Best of all, there was a 1,500 square foot rooftop deck that gave them the view of the Hollywood Hills and Hollywood Sign.*
Kyle's parents took one Master Suite, Kyle and Kay took the other and Xing Han with Sam took the third bedroom. It certainly was a very, very luxurious accommodation but Kyle felt it was money worth spent. They were going to spend Christmas here after all.
”Arent the guests going to be so stoked that you and Keanu will be there?” said Xing Han gleefully as they lounged in the living room.
”Actually, they don't know yet,” Kyle replied, ”They're only told on the day itself. And I think only Keanu will generate a scream cuz I'm not famous. They'd probably look at me and wonder who the heck I am.”
Kay smiled knowingly while Xing Han scoffed, ”You ... you ... frog living in a well you.”
”No, that's wrong Xing Han,” Kay replied, ”It's 'the frog under the coconut shell' in this case.”
Xing Han thought about it.
The first proverb meant that your view was limited to only what you could see from the bottom of the well, whereas the second proverb meant that your knowledge was very limited. Though it may sound the same, there was a minute difference. The former is related to limited knowledge based on a narrow viewpoint whereas the latter was lack knowledge based on a limited viewpoint.
”You're right,” Xing Han said, ”Kyle has extensive knowledge about the world yet, when it comes to himself, he's rather blind, isn't he?”
Kay nodded, ”Now you know my sufferings.”
”Oh come on,” Kyle protested, ”I know I'm popular back home but this is Country AS, okay? The movie isn't even out yet so no one knows me, okay??”
Kyle grumbled about how they were looking down at him. He wasn't that obtuse, okay?
In response, Kay, Xing Han, and Sam just looked at each other with the first two laughing their heads off. Sam, on the other hand, simply rolled his eyes and shook his head.
”What?” Kyle huffed, seeing their reaction.
Patrick and Delilah came in at that moment, seeing the warm scene in front of them. It certainly was very nice to have the whole family again - even though there were two who weren't blood related. It was a pity that Ali couldn't join them. Otherwise, it would have been complete.
”My, you're certainly having fun,” Delilah commented with a smile.
