Ramona, the interviewer-cum-hostess, couldn't help but be affected by the young foreign actor sitting at the other end of the sofa.

He was very striking to look at, and was always smiling, which made the whole thing much more heart-pumping-inducing moments. Ramona wondered why she could be so affected, as she wasn't exactly inexperienced.

Yet, here she was, acting like a love-struck teenager. It just wouldn't do!

So, she had to do her exercises to calm herself and be more objective.

To be fair, on ordinary days, Kyle was already striking enough. This time, he took extra care in his dressing as well, which made the whole visual much more devastating.

Kyle was wearing a dark blue slim fit shirt which gave a hint as to his muscular physique as the shirt moulded his figure. He folded up the long sleeve up to his elbow, which showed off his muscular arms as well and the slightly high mandarin collar with black tip at the top.

He had buttoned it up till the second last button and the collar was high enough to hide his love bite. However, if he was to turn his head a certain angle, the bite could still be seen a bit, peeking through the edge.

Kyle deliberately did not hide it, and only had hints of it to be shown. With the reserved nature of Country M, there was no way that they would ask him anything about it but it certainly would cause a bit of a commotion when it is aired.

Especially to his fans that follow his Insta.

His look was finished off with black jeans and sneakers and had on his favourite watch to match it all. Silver-tone platinum (round) case with a black alligator leather strap. Black dial with platinum hands and index hour markers.

He loved this watch because of its simplicity yet the technology and precision of the watch were unrivalled. It was the Patek Philippe Grand Complications Perpetual Tourbillon Black Dial Watch 5316P-001 worth $810,000 - about 3.5 million in Country M's currency.

It was also the first watch he bought with his own money.

There is always something of significant value, not associated with money, that makes something extra special. He could always get another watch if this one was lost, but it wouldn't be the same. Of course, people would say it was of sentimental value but the fact of the matter is, the fact that the watch was expensive was the reason why it had sentimental value to Kyle.

His first luxury watch.

The best thing was, unless a person knew the brand, no one would know that he was wearing something that cost several houses on his wrist.

As Kyle sat there, he knew the sort of impact he was making on the poor hostess but the peverse side of him started. For some reason, he just wanted to make her blush and fluster even more, just for fun.

He wasn't going for the 'youthful teen' persona for now. After all, he still had that hickey to subtly show off. He was wondering as well what her reaction would be towards it.

Why was Kyle exhibiting such ... naughtiness?

Even he himself didn't know, but he just went with the flow.

Ramona felt that the interview was getting out of her control.

It started off well enough, truly. She had started off with Shahdee, and things were great. Then, JJ. Also good. Finally, the highlight of the programme: the young, rising star of the ever famous movie. The only foreigner in the group.

He was the youngest, so why was he just oozing with so much sex appeal?

Was it because he was a foreigner, so he was much more open about it?

For he was looking at her appreciatively yet not in a sleazy manner. Like, she was really beautiful and he seemed to be ... making an invitation without saying anything?

Not to mention, when he smiled and turned his head, she caught a glimpse of a very telling red mark on his beck. Just barely hidden by the mandarin collar.

And why was it so hot? Was the airconditioning faulty?

Ramona mentally slapped herself.

What was wrong with her today?!

Kyle leaned back on the sofa. As the sofa did not have a backrest, he had to use his arms to lean on, which simply made him arch his chest forward a bit. He placed his right leg on across his left knee, and was easily answering any questions posed to him in a relaxed manner.

So why was the entire scene so hot?!

Ramona felt like she was becoming a pedophile, though granted, no one would say that Kyle Smith was anything like a 'child'.

She was ready to cry inside.
