Chapter 106: A Gift Or A...
Kyle had handed Calista an ultimatum, he wanted to see if this would be a deal breaker for her but the chances that it would be low.
Not everyone had the means to satisfy her financial cravings like him but this helped him confirm that she was emotionally attached to him if she was affected by something like this.
Kyle found this funny but he wasn't going out of his way to please her.
If anything, he was the one out of her league, not the other way round and with a snap of his finger, he could crumble her career.
He could make her lose it all and send her right back to ground zero.
"You were supposed to leave with me..." Calista sounded unsure of the words that came out of her mouth.
"I can go home with whoever I want, Calista..." Kyle said sternly before redirecting her gaze to face him.
"And you look at me when you speak," Kyle warned her.
"Were you jealous?" Kyle asked but Calista couldn't muster the courage to speak about it.
Kyle realized that she might not like what she heard but had no choice but to accept the reality of it.
This was to test her reaction as his hand left her chin before finally revealing.
"I didn't take anyone home, they had a bit too much to drink so I had to take them home," Kyle revealed.
"I don't care, you can do whatever you want." Calista rolled her eyes but he could sense the relief in her voice.
"I can do whatever I want?" Kyle questioned, pausing briefly.
"And what if that thing is you?" A smirk creased his face and this almost broke the nonchalant face that Calista had.
He noticed that she had on different clothes so she clearly went back home and she didn't look tired or hungover either.
That meant that she called it a night early after spotting him leaving the area.
"Here..." Calista said, digging her hand into her bag to bring out a box.
She had to find a way to make an impression on him that lasts and what better way than a gift?
A constant reminder of her presence in his life, seeing him with those girls made her remember how in-demand men like him were.
She couldn't afford to lose him not only because of the financial benefits but her emotional attachment.

Jane was coming to it, she couldn't do anything because of the throbbing headache that rocked her head. It felt like her brain had a heartbeat and Ella was beside her with a bottle of water to help her hydrate.
Like she thought, Jane couldn't remember anything that she had done last night but Ella wasn't about to remind her either.
"God... Why didn't you stop me from drinking?" Jane questioned, clutching her head in pain.
"You needed to loosen up and have fun," Ella defended her alcohol intake.
"And besides, Kyle liked you in that state," Ella added and Jane's face flushed red.
"Wait, what!?" Jane screamed.
"You don't remember? You told him how much you liked him," Ella teased but Jane swallowed every word that came out of her mouth.
"T-That's a lie! There is no way I could say that!" Jane immediately shot down the idea.
"You don't want to hear what he said?" Ella questioned. Jane denied saying what she said but if she did say it by chance, she wanted to hear what Kyle had to say.
"He said..." Ella paused, stopping herself from completing her sentence.
"... Nothing, because you never said anything to him," Ella confessed.
"Gosh! You're the worst!" Jane barked, tossing a pillow in Ella's direction who couldn't stop laughing.
This was the first time that she had seen Jane act this way over a guy.
