Anthony's expression stiffened when he heard Kenneth's name.
The originally relaxed expression instantly turned serious.
A moment later, looking at Kyle, Anthony said, “It's getting late. Let's go. It's time for lunch.” Without waiting for a response, he turned and started walking away.
Watching Anthony's retreating figure, Kyle knew he had touched a sore spot. He lowered his gaze, turning to look at Benjamin, whose little face had also tightened.
Sighing, Kyle said, “Let's go. We should eat first!”
“Okay!” Benjamin nodded.
Just as Benjamin was about to leave, his gaze swept across the room. Upon seeing the person asleep on the sofa, he slightly furrowed his brows. “I'll go wake up Thalia!”
“No need to wake her up!” Kyle said. “She gets cranky when she doesn't get enough sleep. Let her rest!”
After some thought, Benjamin nodded.
“Let's go!” With that, the two of them headed outside.
At that moment, Anthony was already waiting for them outside.
After they left, Anthony looked at Kyle and asked, “Where should we go for lunch?”
“How about my room?” Kyle raised an eyebrow.
Anthony lifted his gaze, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
“The ambiance is perfect for a chat. Let's go,” he said and took the lead.
Anthony and Benjamin exchanged glances, then followed suit.
It was important to note that their base was built beneath a hotel. Although there was a connection, the exterior and interior were self-contained, like two separate worlds.
Under Kyle's guidance, they took several turns before finally entering the elevator. They then pressed the button for the top floor.
The three of them stood in the elevator, none of them speaking.
After the elevator reached the top floor, they stepped out.
The entire top floor consisted of only a few rooms.
After Kyle stepped out, he walked a few steps inward and arrived at a room. After a facial recognition scan, the door automatically opened.
Turning around, Kyle looked at the two people behind him. “Come in.”
Anthony and Benjamin exchanged glances, then slowly began to walk inside.
Looking at their expressions, Kyle laughed and said, “What's the matter? Are you worried I might harm you?”
Anthony turned his head and glanced at him. “If you really want to do that, there's always a chance. You don't have to wait until now.”
Kyle smiled. “Why are you looking at me like that, then?”
“I thought the room you were talking about was downstairs, but it turns out, it's really your room,” Anthony said.
Kyle laughed. “This is the top floor, with only a few rooms. We occasionally stay here, but it's usually vacant all year round.”
With that, he added, “But rest assured, someone will clean regularly. It's very tidy.”
Anthony glanced at him without saying a word, and the group proceeded to walk inside.
While it was referred to as a room, it was more accurate to describe it as a spacious flat. It was vast and open, equipped with everything one could possibly need, including facilities for golfing and working out.
Upon entering, Anthony looked around, his expression revealing no surprise whatsoever.
Kyle had always been a person who enjoyed life to the fullest. It was not an exaggeration to say that he could make the place feel just like home.
At that moment, Kyle said, “There are two vacant rooms next door. You both are welcome to move in anytime.”
“No need,” Anthony flatly refused. “Also, I probably won't get this chance again.”
“Why?”
“In a few days, we'll be heading back to Glenport City.”
