Adam Klein's Links
[Related] Adam has always hated Chase, even from when they were kids. Reaching the top of the world can wait, all he wants to do now is watch that man suffer.
[Related] Adam's older brother, although Chase is completely unaware of Adam's whereabouts, let alone what he does now.
[Employer] Adam found Philip one day as he browsed the stores in the mall and found him to be absolutely perfect for the Emperor Host title. It took plenty of convincing, but he managed to get Philip on his side. Even better, the man has lines and lines of people wanting to date him! Maybe it has something to do with that charming scent of his cologne...
Philip was happy working for Valentine and never even considered looking for another job. However, a time where Valentine was temporarily absent from his store (probably because he was in the back and busying himself by looking at the mirror), an individual that goes by Adam, had constantly offered him a position as a Host.
Philip is still indifferent about becoming a Host, but he was surprised how easy it was to be able to earn money. Even if working in Valentine's store had helped him afford decent housing and food for himself, he'd only wanted to earn the extra money to be able to spoil Valentine and his daughter, Valeria.
He also takes his opportunity to put Valentine's cologne into good use - often advertising the brand to his regular customers.
"N-No, I own the club, I'm not a host."
"This is my host club owner husband."
When Jules came into Adam's club, instead of spending time with a hostess, he instead ended up befriending the owner. Adam passed by as he heard the man mention something about a cat, and the two were fast friends. Now they meet regularly to share stories about each others cats.
Originally, when Jules first made his way to Adam's club, he was simply looking for a way to get his mind off of Fia for a night. He wasn't expected to bond with the club owner over their mutual love of felines. It didn't take long for a friendship to form, and Jules always greatly looks forward to hearing about Adam's cats, while also chatting about his own.
With Alcott out of the escort business, Teddy was reigning supreme as the most popular and sought after, so naturally Adam tried to get him too. He's glad Teddy agreed to come with him, and ever since then his clubs have gotten more and more popular.
While the hosting job still leaves a bad taste in his mouth, he's glad that Adam came and offered a way out for him when he did. It's better than escorting, especially better than escorting under Jet. Has some level of respect for Adam as a result despite his general disdain for the business.
