Chapter 9

“That’s my temporary number here in the USA.”

“Awesome. Where are you from originally?” Kyle asked while the two of them made their way out from the grocery store.

“Oswington.”

Kyle was taken aback. “That’s such a coincidence. The headquarters for the corporate office of Beaumont Department Store is in Oswington.”

“Yeah.”

“That’s so cool. Maybe I’ll visit the country someday.”

Clement beamed at Kyle. “I hope so. I’ll show you around the country. I’ll be your personal guide for as long as you’re there.”

Kyle nodded excitedly. “That’s a deal. I’ll hold you to that.”

“You have my word.”

“Great. Anyway, how did you get here?”

“A car. My chauffeur is waiting for me in the parking lot. May I drive you back to your apartment?”

Kyle shook his head. “I’ll walk. I’m less than ten minutes away from my apartment. I’ll see you tonight?”

“Absolutely.”

“I can’t wait.”
