After listening to Benjamin's account, Kyle nodded, indicating that he understood.
“My sister is not like us. She doesn't have such grand ambitions, and she has now found a career she loves,” Benjamin said.
“What business?” asked Kyle.
“Filming.”
Upon hearing that, Kyle furrowed his brows. “Why would she do something so strenuous?”
“Who knows, maybe it's just because she likes it,” Benjamin stated succinctly.
Kyle's face was taut, as if somewhat reluctant. “Denise's face is pretty enough for that. It's just a pity, a waste of her own talent and ability.”
“You believe she's talented and capable, but she doesn't see it in herself. She often says that my brother and I overshadow her talent. Hence, she feels her only option is to coast along.”
Hearing that, Kyle couldn't help but laugh. “How high are her standards for herself? She should realize that what she has now is something many people can't catch up to.”
“She's the type to either not do something at all, or do it to the best of her ability.” At that moment, Anthony, who was standing by, suddenly spoke.
Even though he usually maintained the dignity of an elder brother in daily life, when it came to his sister, he understood her well and pampered her greatly.
Upon hearing that, Kyle sighed helplessly. “Indeed, the thoughts of exceptional people are truly different from ours.”
“I believe that what we consider good may not necessarily align with her views,” Benjamin continued.
Kyle actually agreed quite readily, nodding his head. Then, as if struck by a thought, he asked, “Why didn't she come and tell me herself?”
He still remembered the last time he saw the young girl. She was quite pretty, had a high emotional quotient, and was very sensible. However, the circumstances were unusual last time. As such, he didn't get a chance to communicate with her properly.
Benjamin spoke up when he heard that. “She said she's afraid that seeing you all would make it too hard for her to leave.”
Upon hearing that, Kyle felt his heart melting.
His handsome features instantly softened. “I knew since the last time I saw her. I just haven't had the chance to talk to her properly.”
“She doesn't care about this. She initially joined Darknetz just to tag along with Tony for some fun,” said Benjamin.
Upon hearing that, Kyle narrowed his eyes. “Darknetz is quite a big deal, yet you make it sound like it's as kiddish as playing house.”
“Seriously though, that was exactly my mindset at the time, too. Before this, I also had thoughts similar to Denise,” Benjamin said.
“What about now?”
“I'm undecided at the moment.”
“Undecided, my *ass. I'm telling you. I will definitely carve a place for you, so you absolutely cannot back out,” Kyle enunciated.
“What I'm saying is, that was before. Now, I don't have that thought for now!”
“No 'for now.' It has to be permanent!” Kyle affirmed as he looked at Benjamin.
“Well, it depends on what resources and opportunities you can provide him. If you can't, don't blame him for leaving,” Anthony chimed in from the side.
Seeing the situation, Kyle immediately spoke up. “Benjamin, this matter came about quite unexpectedly. I still haven't fully processed it. Give me some time. I promise to give you the most satisfying answer.”
“Sure.” Anthony nodded from the side.
“I didn't ask you,” Kyle retorted at Anthony, then turned his head to look at Benjamin. His gaze was direct as if he was waiting for Benjamin's answer.
Benjamin glanced at Anthony, then looked at Kyle, nodding with a smile. “Sure.”
