Chapter 319 Epilogue: Kayla and Calvin VIII
“And here’s a limited–edition bag that pairs perfectly with it.”
Emma was surprised. “Kayla, you’ve finally grown up. You’re opening a clothing store? High–end custom?”
“Yep! My partner’s a somewhat famous designer. We’re planning this style for the store’s decor–any suggestions?”
Emma studied it seriously. “The decor could be more upscale. Use warm lighting to create ambiance. Since high–end clients are wealthy ladies, space out the fitting rooms so they can try things privately, even with multiple customers.”
Kayla diligently noted Emma’s advice in her memo. “Anything else?”
Emma smiled, “What’s your investment split with your partner?”
“50-50!”
“I’d suggest 51% and 49%-even a 2% difference matters. Avoid equal splits. If you just want to invest and not manage things, take the smaller share and let your friend lead.”

Kayla hadn’t thought that far. “I’ll discuss it with my friend.”
“Thanks, Aunt Emma. You’re the best,” Kayla cooed.
“Enough, you’re too old for that. So, I heard you’ve started dating?”
Kayla pursed her lips. “Honestly? I’m just humoring them. I’m out of options.”
Emma laughed, “Take your time. Once things settle, travel the world. Kayla, explore while you’re young–it’s a big place.”
Kayla smiled, “Got it. I’ll let you work. Bye!”

Kayla had just left when Bruno called.
“What’s up?”
Bruno stammered, “My grandpa’s making me take you to dinner. Let’s go–isn’t this what you wanted for your act?”
Kayla thought for a second. “Fine. Sent you the location. We’re splitting the bill.”
Bruno felt insulted. 276

But when he arrived, Kayla was already eating. “My half’s paid. Order yours.”
Two near–strangers, forced by bizarre circumstances to share a lunch table.
Kayla sent a photo of Bruno to her family group chat with her parents and brother.
Bruno did the same.
Neither mentioned Calvin, as if he didn’t exist.
Calvin thought Bruno was utterly unreliable–how hard was it to get some info?
As the Austin family heir, Bruno’s incompetence was almost
unbearable.
When Calvin asked Bruno to deliver food, Bruno claimed he had plans.
So Calvin went to eat alone–only to spot Kayla the moment he entered.
And the grinning man across from her? Bruno,

Calvin radiated cold fury. “Bruno!”
Bruno looked up, startled. “Calvin!”

Calvin smirked mockingly. “This is your ‘plan‘? This is your ‘no interest in Kayla‘?”
Bruno panicked. “Calvin, listen—it’s a misunderstanding! We’re just acting—”
“Bruno, how is this a misunderstanding? You’re the one who asked me out.”
Kayla smiled sweetly at Calvin. “It’s an arranged match. Hope you understand.”
“Arranged?” Calvin was seething with jealousy. “You’re already talking marriage?
“Kayla, do you know how many exes he’s had? More than one a day.
“Know how cowardly he is? Screams at bugs bigger than a fingernail.
“He’s in his twenties but already weak as hell!
“And he’s cursed–loses money on everything, Kayla, if you marry him, you’ll drown in bad luck!”

Bruno gritted his teeth. “Calvin!
“You’re lying!
“You! You’re infuriating! You’re the weak one!”
Kayla dabbed her lips elegantly, ignoring Calvin’s outburst, and turned to Bruno. “Bruno, seems we’ll have to skip the night view tonight. Rain check!”
As Kayla walked away, Calvin jabbed a finger at Bruno. “Still denying it? You were planning a night view date!”
Bruno felt utterly doomed by Kayla’s scheming.
“Calvin, nothing’s going on between Kayla and me. Believe me?”

Back at the hotel, Bruno confessed everything to Calvin.
“Calvin, that’s the whole truth. If I’m lying, may I never spend a dime again. Now do you believe me?”
Calvin snorted, then suddenly asked, “So that meal you treated. me to the other day–was it your leftovers?”

Caught, Bruno glanced at the ceiling, then his shoes.
Calvin sneered, “You’re unbelievable.”
Bruno grinned sheepishly. “Buddy! Boss! I’m sorry, okay? Whatever you need to win her back, I’m in!”
