Chapter 9: Getting Ready.

Kyle got into his car and wt to one of the shops a the corner, it wasn't anything too fancy but they had some dect clothes.

He has never be to this store before so this was a nice change of pace.

Kyle didn't care much about expsive clothes as this would only draw unwanted atttion.

The last thing he needed was a criminal following him home to steal from him.

This would be possible due to the lack of security in the building.

Kyle knew that he had to be careful and this included a safe parking space for his car ev though he had yet to talk to Jones regarding this.

There was a place where they parked their cars at an extra fee but spare part thieves visited there way too oft because they knew they would always find a car to steal something from.

Kyle knew that it would be best to move out of the neighborhood altogether but he needed to increase his wealth to do that. $400,000 was barely ough to do anything in a high-d neighbourhood as everything there was not only more expsive but the lifestyle that came with it would flatt his wallet in a heartbeat.

Kyle took a deep breath and walked into the shop, he had little to no fashion sse so he knew he needed all the help he could get in this case.

Luckily, one of the store workers attded to him.

"Good eving sir, what can I help you with?" The man questioned with a smile, that same goddamn smile that everyone wore like zombies, a smile he too once wore.

"I have a date so I need something casual but at the same time, fancy," Kyle said with a sigh, knowing that this wasn't much of a description.

"Right this way sir," The man instructed and Kyle complied, following him to a more exclusive section of the store.

Kyle noticed the leap in prices, this man wasted no time in trying to milk him and Kyle couldn't help but respect the hustle.

Everyone was trying to make ds meet, not everyone was as fortunate as him, if anything no one was as fortunate as him.

Kyle was led to a chair as the man brought a couple of clothes for him to check, the man didn't doubt if he could afford them or not as he had se the car he drove and couldn't make the mistake of treating this customer poorly or he could lose the sale.

Time flew by and Kyle found himself right in front of the address that Jane had giv him.

He walked up to the door and couldn't help but feel nervous. The flower in his hand trembled slightly but he composed himself with a deep breath right before ringing the bell.

It took up to a minute, this allowed Kyle to adjust his clothing and calm his thoughts.

And the door swung op with Jane coming into view.

"My God, you look beautiful!" Kyle blurted out and her face became red instantly.

Jane was in a sleek, black gown that hugged her curves like a second skin. Made of luxurious silk, it featured a daring, plunging neckline that showcased her toned neckline. The fitted bodice highlighted her narrow waist.

A subtle slit up one side revealed a glimpse of her toned leg, adding a hint of allure to the overall design.

"Here..." Kyle said, handing her the flower in hand.

Jane noticed that he had chos a more casual approach in his choice of clothing.

The tucked-in T-shirt in what looked like navy blue trousers gave him a classy look.

"T-Thank you," Jane said before briefly heading inside to drop the flower with Kyle following behind her. Partly because Jane had gestured for him to come in, she couldn't leave him standing outside after he came all the way here.

She offered him a glass of water but Kyle declined, there was no need for that considering that they were about to be on their way.

Kyle glanced a her apartmt and noticed that she didn't live alone, he also knew it wasn't in his place to ask questions as this would be prying too much.

Right now, he needed to focus on the date that he was about to take her on.

Jane finished what she was doing in no time and came out of the room before they both left.

Whoever was living with her was not a.
