Chapter 319 Epilogue: Ka and Calvin VIII

    “And here’s a limited–edition bag that pairs perfectly with it.”

    Emma was surprised. “Ka, you’ve finally grown up. You’re opening a clothing store? High–end custom?”

    “Yep! My partner’s a somewhat famous designer. We’re nning this style for the store’s decor–any suggestions?”

    Emma studied it seriously. “The decor could be more upscale. Use warm lighting to create ambiance. Since high–end clients are wealthydies, space out the fitting rooms so they can try things privately, even with multiple customers.”

    Ka diligently noted Emma’s advice in her memo. “Anything else?”

    Emma smiled, “What’s your investment split with your partner?”

    “50-50!”

    “I’d suggest 51% and 49%-even a 2% difference matters. Avoid equal splits. If you just want to invest and not manage things, take the smaller share and let your friend lead.”

    Ka hadn’t thought that far. “I’ll discuss it with my friend.”

    “Thanks, Aunt Emma. You’re the best,” Ka cooed.

    “Enough, you’re too old for that. So, I heard you’ve started dating?”

    Ka pursed her lips. “Honestly? I’m just humoring them. I’m out of options.”

    Emmaughed, “Take your time. Once things settle, travel the world. Ka, explore while you’re young–it’s a big ce.”

    Ka smiled, “Got it. I’ll let you work. Bye!”

    *****

    Ka had just left when Bruno called.

    “What’s up?”

    Bruno stammered, “My grandpa’s making me take you to dinner. Let’s go–isn’t this what you wanted for your act?”

    Ka thought for a second. “Fine. Sent you the location. We’re splitting the bill.”

    Bruno felt insulted. 276

    He’d never let a woman pay before.

    But when he arrived, Ka was already eating. “My half’s paid. Order yours.”

    Two near–strangers, forced by bizarre circumstances to share a lunch table.

    Ka sent a photo of Bruno to her family group chat with her parents and brother.

    Bruno did the same.

    Neither mentioned Calvin, as if he didn’t exist.

    Calvin thought Bruno was utterly unreliable–how hard was it to get some info?

    As the Austin family heir, Bruno’s ipetence was almost

    unbearable.

    When Calvin asked Bruno to deliver food, Bruno imed he had ns.

    So Calvin went to eat alone–only to spot Ka the moment he entered.

    And the grinning man across from her? Bruno,

    Calvin radiated cold fury. “Bruno!”

    Bruno looked up, startled. “Calvin!”

    Calvin smirked mockingly. “This is your ‘n‘? This is your ‘no interest in Ka‘?”

    Bruno panicked. “Calvin, listen—it’s a misunderstanding! We’re just acting—”

    “Bruno, how is this a misunderstanding? You’re the one who asked me out.”

    Ka smiled sweetly at Calvin. “It’s an arranged match. Hope you understand.”

    “Arranged?” Calvin was seething with jealousy. “You’re already talking marriage?

    “Ka, do you know how many exes he’s had? More than one a day.

    “Know how cowardly he is? Screams at bugs bigger than a fingernail.

    “He’s in his twenties but already weak as hell!

    “And he’s cursed–loses money on everything, Ka, if you marry him, you’ll drown in bad luck!”

    Bruno gritted his teeth. “Calvin!

    “You’re lying!

    “You! You’re infuriating! You’re the weak one!”

    Ka dabbed her lips elegantly, ignoring Calvin’s outburst, and turned to Bruno. “Bruno, seems we’ll have to skip the night view tonight. Rain check!”

    As Ka walked away, Calvin jabbed a finger at Bruno. “Still denying it? You were nning a night view date!”

    Bruno felt utterly doomed by Ka’s scheming.

    “Calvin, nothing’s going on between Ka and me. Believe me?”

    *****

    Back at the hotel, Bruno confessed everything to Calvin.

    “Calvin, that’s the whole truth. If I’m lying, may I never spend a dime again. Now do you believe me?”

    Calvin snorted, then suddenly asked, “So that meal you treated. me to the other day–was it your leftovers?”

    Caught, Bruno nced at the ceiling, then his shoes.

    Calvin sneered, “You’re unbelievable.”

    Bruno grinned sheepishly. “Buddy! Boss! I’m sorry, okay? Whatever you need to win her back, I’m in!”
