After returning home around four, having spent quite some time at the mall with Layen, he began preparing for the event.
He has bought a few gifts for his future father in law other than the unique glass Layena gifted him. Other than that, he has communicated with Blake's secretary and got the assurance that she would bring the flowers.
While polishing his shoes, he sent Veronica a voice message, asking if they could talk.

Kyle put the call on speaker and asked, "Hey, were you busy?"
{No. What about you? I heard you're going to the Maylith Patriarch's birthday.}
Kyle paused before asking, "I really want to know how you hear about these things." He had only learned about the celebration from Amanda yesterday and hadn't even spoken to Veronica about it.
{This time, it was just a guess. I also received an invitation, so I assumed you'd be going.}
