Chapter 481 - Movie Premiere (Flashback) - III (1/2)
Keanu gave Kyle a side glance, and shook his head, ”I know that smile. You're up to something.”
Kyle didn't answer at first, and just kept that ambiguous smile on his face.
”Just ...” Kyle began, looking at Kay and then around him as if he was staring into space.
Turning back to Keanu, he tilted his head at a slight angle, to hide his lips from the public view, Kyle said to Keanu, ”I hope to impose on you a little bit later. Could you keep an eye on Kay and make sure she gets back safely after the movie?”
Keanu looked at him, noticing how he was keeping his voice low.
Kay turned to talk to Alexandra, stepping to the side to get closer to her but yet, at the same time, hid the view of Kyle and Keanu talking together. More specifically, she blocked out anyone who might be reading their lips.
They were in a position that could not be seen from afar as there were pillars about and there was no balcony to spy on them from above. Only those close by would be able to see them, and they would have to rely on lip reading to know what Kyle was talking about.
Kay knew that her Dad's men would be about and vigilant, and would not leave things to chance. Their plan did not necessarily need Keanu but it would definitely make it smoother.
”Just what are you up to?” Keanu asked Kyle in a whisper, his eyes straight ahead.
He suddenly felt like a real life John Wick, the way Kyle was acting.
”Nothing,” Kyle said, ”I'm just going to slip out before my father's men catch me.”
Keanu looked at him with raised eyebrows, ”You sure you're not Zenith right now?”
Kyle grinned, bringing up the drink to his lips as he said softly, ”Oh, Zenith is hardly close enough but it'll do.”
Keanu caught that and stared at Kyle for a bit before he just shook his head and took a gulp from his own drink.
There were some things better left unasked.
They put down their drinks the moment the doors to the cinema opened up, signaling that the show was about to begin.
Taking their partners by the hand, both of them walked in and led their ladies to their designated seats before heading to the stage.
Slowly, the stage was filled up with the cast members that were there, all on display as they smiled to the crowd. It was a straight forward event, without any fancy small sketch like how it had been done with Marvel's 'Thor Ragnarok' movie.
A simple speech to thank the audience and at the same time, showing off of crew members which allowed the public to take pictures of them. Once that was over, Kyle and Keanu headed down to their seats, where Kay and Alexandra were waiting for them.
Kyle had to admit.
Watching himself on screen was a bit weird.
Kay found the whole thing fascinating and was giving off the appropriate oohing and aahing with screams during intense moments. She held on tightly to Kyle's arm, occasionally shaking it in excitement.
Well, she is his Number 1 fan - Sarah didn't count.
