Kyle had handed Calista an ultimatum, he wanted to see if this would be a deal breaker for her but the chances that it would be low.
Not everyone had the means to satisfy her financial cravings like him but this helped him confirm that she was emotionally attached to him if she was affected by something like this.
Kyle found this funny but he wasn’t going out of his way to please her.
If anything, he was the one out of her league, not the other way round and with a snap of his finger, he could crumble her career.
He could make her lose it all and send her right back to ground zero.
“You were supposed to leave with me…” Calista sounded unsure of the words that came out of her mouth.
“I can go home with whoever I want, Calista…” Kyle said sternly before redirecting her gaze to face him.
“And you look at me when you speak,” Kyle warned her.
“Were you jealous?” Kyle asked but Calista couldn’t muster the courage to speak about it.
Kyle realized that she might not like what she heard but had no choice but to accept the reality of it.
This was to test her reaction as his hand left her chin before finally revealing.
“I didn’t take anyone home, they had a bit too much to drink so I had to take them home,” Kyle revealed.
“I don’t care, you can do whatever you want.” Calista rolled her eyes but he could sense the relief in her voice.
“I can do whatever I want?” Kyle questioned, pausing briefly.
“And what if that thing is you?” A smirk creased his face and this almost broke the nonchalant face that Calista had.
He noticed that she had on different clothes so she clearly went back home and she didn’t look tired or hungover either.
That meant that she called it a night early after spotting him leaving the area.
“Here…” Calista said, digging her hand into her bag to bring out a box.
“What is this?” Kyle had to ask because it was wrapped in foil.
“Just open it,” Calista responded, sounding almost embarrassed.
Kyle shrugged before unwrapping it but he saw something inside that he didn’t expect to find.
It was a ring but not just any ring, it cost approximately $10,000.
Kyle knew she didn’t have this kind of money just sitting around in her bank account.
“WOAH!” Kyle explained, taking it out of the box.
“You like it?” Calista asked, sounding hopeful and Kyle nodded without hesitation.
“I love it! I don’t receive a lot of presents so this is a first! Why did you get me this?” Kyle wanted to know her reason but Calista’s eyes softened.
“I want you to wear it at all times!” Calista demanded.
“Wait, are you proposing to me?” Kyle questioned her with a raised brow.
“OF COURSE NOT!” Calista barked before clearing her throat to compose herself.
“This is sweet, I mean it, Calista. Thank you,” Kyle tried it on and Calista sat there, content with what she saw.
She wanted to surprise him with it for quite some time now but was waiting for the check to clear before she could pay for it in full.
This money might be insignificant to Kyle but Calista, it was everything because she hadn’t been paid yet for the movie she was still shooting but she wanted to show Kyle that he was special to her and his reaction was everything for her.
Kyle wore it, he didn’t know how much it cost because these weren’t things he usually shopped for but even he knew that diamonds weren’t cheap.
“You’re welcome,” Calista responded with a broad smile on her face but one could look at it in another light.
Kyle had sent her way more than this so it was simply her buying something with some of the money he had sent her.
But this wasn’t how Kyle saw it because she didn’t need to do this.
This was all that happened because Calista had work to return to, she came all the way here to see if Kyle had any women over or any signs of women but mainly to give him this gift.
She had to find a way to make an impression on him that lasts and what better way than a gift?
A constant reminder of her presence in his life, seeing him with those girls made her remember how in-demand men like him were.
She couldn’t afford to lose him not only because of the financial benefits but her emotional attachment.

Jane was coming to it, she couldn’t do anything because of the throbbing headache that rocked her head. It felt like her brain had a heartbeat and Ella was beside her with a bottle of water to help her hydrate.
Like she thought, Jane couldn’t remember anything that she had done last night but Ella wasn’t about to remind her either.
“God… Why didn’t you stop me from drinking?” Jane questioned, clutching her head in pain.
“You needed to loosen up and have fun,” Ella defended her alcohol intake.
“And besides, Kyle liked you in that state,” Ella added and Jane’s face flushed red.
“Wait, what!?” Jane screamed.
“You don’t remember? You told him how much you liked him,” Ella teased but Jane swallowed every word that came out of her mouth.
“T-That’s a lie! There is no way I could say that!” Jane immediately shot down the idea.
“You don’t want to hear what he said?” Ella questioned. Jane denied saying what she said but if she did say it by chance, she wanted to hear what Kyle had to say.
“He said…” Ella paused, stopping herself from completing her sentence.
“… Nothing, because you never said anything to him,” Ella confessed.
“Gosh! You’re the worst!” Jane barked, tossing a pillow in Ella’s direction who couldn’t stop laughing.
