109 Chapter 109: A Painful Comparison (1/2)

Lucas stood at the airport feeling anxious and a little suffocated even though the airport was not crowded. Glancing at his watch, Lucas sighed at what he had gotten himself into. Working with Khloe was a piece of cake, apart from her whining, it had been relatively easy. But now? Now he had become part of Khloe's plan to be Kylie's agent. He doesn't want to handle this woman; however, he can't refuse Khloe's request.

Speaking of the devil, Lucas muttered to himself. Right at that moment, Kylie, followed by Faith, walked out of the terminal. Lucas was standing in direct sight of them, but they ignored him and continued walking towards the exit. He quickly got annoyed by the way they treated him.

”What the fuck?” Lucas whispered to himself, being mindful of the kids standing a few feet away from him. He ran outside, but Kylie and Faith were nowhere to be found.

Outside the airport, Kylie received a call from Lucas when her car had just started, ”Kylie Finch, don't tell me you did not see me while walking out of the terminal!?” He ranted at her immediately when he was able to catch them.

”Aren't you, my agent now, Lucas? Are you not the one who's supposed to keep track of me?” Kylie replied nonchalantly.

”Cut the crap Kylie, and I'm not playing. It's impossible that you couldn't see me!” Lucas replied angrily.

”Well, I thought you were waiting for Khloe because you're her agent, too,” Kylie replied, questioningly, fully knowing the answer. She knew that this guy doesn't have good intentions for her.

”You…” Lucas started but could not say a word in response. He had intended to let Kylie know who the boss was around here, but he deliberately stopped himself. He was burning to let Kylie know that no matter how the outside world saw her, Khloe was and still is the one and only important figure in Garcia Entertainment. Initially, he had planned to ask Kylie to wait with him until Khloe's flight arrived (which was just an hour after Kylie's landed) so they could both go back home together. He can't leave immediately without waiting for Khloe.

”Okay, just go home then! Your father is expecting you.” Lucas finally replied. If he portrayed himself to be the enemy towards Kylie, she would never trust him. He had to be patient. He also had to pretend to be kind in front of her because he and Khloe had plans. He shouldn't mess up because he knows what the consequences will be when he makes a mistake.

***

Kylie hated going back 'home.' However, despite the people living inside, she still had many good memories in the house she had grown up in, especially memories of her beloved mother. Those times she'd stayed here with her Mom, reminded her that she belongs to this family. Trying to shake herself from getting too emotional, Kylie squared her shoulders and walked towards her father's office. Since he was expecting her, Kylie saw Laurence sitting behind his chair, reading something on a paper.

”I've heard, Mr. Finch, you want to do me a favor.” Kylie coolly sat on the leather couch, taking off her high heels, and placing her feet on the coffee table. She did not miss her father's annoyed look when he saw her bare feet leaving prints on the impeccably clean table.

Laurence put aside his papers and looked towards his wayward daughter trying hard to not lash out on her to take her feet off his table.
