Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 302 - As Pure As Snow

"Don't give away my secrets. It'll ruin the magic," she winked. Katherine pressed up on her tiptoes to kiss him, squealing when he kneaded her ass. He must have really liked the change. The workout helped.

"What magic? You've already stripped your clothes in front of him." Angelina scoffed. She padded away. Katherine might have mumbled something in her general direction but Cage had caught her attention back.

"We'll be late," she informed him breathlessly.

"Well, no one can fault us after they see you," he replied politely. He stroked her lip and sighed as he pulled away. It was time to get going.

The idea came to her belatedly. There would be cameras at the premiere. Lots of them. There would be a red carpet splayed across the front of the theatre and celebrities would walk down it and get their pictures clicked. She was definitely not one of the people who would be worth clicking pictures of. Moreover, if her pictures were taken, people from all over the internet would shout at her for placing too much importance on herself.

While she didn't think similarly, there was no point in calling for trouble. She turned to Cage, who looked pristine in his suit. They had taken a fancy car and Cage had gotten one of Stephen's contacts to drive them to the venue.

She wondered how she could be so shortsighted.

"Cage, how are we going to enter?" she asked nervously.

"Because of the cameras, I'll head in first. You stay behind in the car." He nodded towards the driver. "He'll be taking you to a secure location. Someone from the security team will come out to escort you inside."

Katherine sighed in relief. "And here I thought you had overlooked the matter, as well."

Cage glanced at her sheepishly. "Well, I would have if not for Stephen and his shouting over the phone. He took care of everything," he said softly.

"If I didn't know better, I would think that you were trying to expose our relationship to the world." Katherine glared at him momentarily before laughing. If she could help it, she would want the same. It might have slipped his mind casually.

"I think, I want that subconsciously. Or..." he trailed off, giving a sly look. "I'm just getting old and stupid."

"If you get stupid, it won't bode well for our relationship," Katherine commented blandly. Seeing his bugged eyes and surprise, she explained further. "We're already notorious. If it gets worse, we'll be called Dumb and Dumber."

Cage broke out into laughter and didn't contradict her words. He thought for a minute before he started to speak again. "Wait, don't you need to film some aspects of this premiere to put it on your channel? It would make for good content for your vlog," he said helpfully.

"You really know how to act like a good boyfriend. I've brought my phone. That's all. The video quality is excellent so I will be taking people's permission before doing any videos," she told him. "How hard would it be for you to introduce me to the bigshots without the press finding out?" she asked. Actually, she was saying this to tease him.

She hadn't known that he would be so serious. "Already arranged for everything, love." She remained stunned.

"Aren't you scared that I will take advantage of your connections?" she whisper yelled. She surreptitiously looked at the driver who was blissfully ignoring them.

"When did I forbid you to make use of my connections? You think like a saint," he said. He tapped her forehead with his knuckle. "I have no use for connections, really. If you don't use it, will I be squandering them away after all the work I have put into it? It's better if you use them."

Katherine remained silent. After a long while, she spoke. "Cage, they are going to say that I used you to further my career." She gritted her teeth and said no further.

"Ah, yes. The infamous comments on your videos. I see them all the time. I love your videos, I do... but whenever I venture down into the comments, I feel like ripping people's throats out." His jaw ticked as he remembered some of the comments he had come across.

"Stop. You know well how people react. The first thing to being an internet personality is to not look at the comments. They'll just demotivate you and make you think of murder."

"Well, I was thinking about murder, believe me." He huffed. "Well, I don't look at comments about me, but when it comes to you, my fingers just keep scrolling until I find that one comment that makes me want to obliterate humanity."

"And that's all it is," she said quickly. "One comment out of the thousands I receive. They are rare. They might be lewd or harsh at times, but those people are far in between all the good people that come to comment. Moreover, I don't care about my viewers. I care about yours. You're... Cage Cavanaugh. Your viewers are scarier than the Illuminati."

"Yes, they can be quite scary," Cage agreed. "But you have the best boyfriend in the world and he can provide you with top-notch security." He grinned.

"You think too highly of yourself, you narcissist. Of course, dating you would have to have some dangers, or else... won't we get bored and bicker about small matters?" Katherine winked.

"I would like to bicker with you over trivial matters very much," he grumbled.

Katherine grinned as she drew closer to his body and hugged him tightly.

"What scripts have you been reading recently? You can't stop acting all romantic." It was scaring her a little. Too much happiness usually led to bad things. But it could just be her paranoia.

"Oh! I forgot. When you enter the theatre, you'll be placed beside me. I'll join in really late, so the lights will already be turned off."

"Well, dim lights, and you? It screams of mischief."

"Thank god, I'll be there to manage it. Otherwise, you could be climbing Ryan Reynolds. He might be okay with it, but his wife might come at you with a chainsaw!" Cage joked.

"He would throw me off before that happens. He's as pure as snow!" she demanded. Cage laughed and agreed with her.
