Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 322 - The Perfect Flower

"He must not have been happy," Katherine sighed. "And your mother?"

"She kept talking about what a disgrace I was. How I was ruining the family name." She shrugged. "I have enough so I told them I would be a Luther soon enough and that would be the name I would damage from then on. They weren't thrilled that I was marrying someone in the entertainment industry but they can shove their disapproval up her tight asses." Angelina looked utterly thrilled with the whole thing. "Apparently, they want me to marry some politician's son and get a job at his company or something. F.u.c.k that shit." She shook her head. "Maybe I should just marry Stephen and get it over with."

Even Cage shook his head. "I don't think that is a good idea," Cage whispered.

Angelina sighed. "True. I scared myself a little by bringing that up, too."

Before they could continue the discussion, Irene from Cage's team called. She had all these questions.

"We are yet to pinpoint who sent the pictures to the reporters, but we do know your friend Karen is a problem," Irene began.

"Karen is not a friend. She frequents the bar we visit sometimes," Katherine replied sourly.

"Good thing. She didn't do you any favors while painting a picture of you. You weren't depressed or doing anything illegal after your previous breakup, right?" Irene asked uncomfortably.

"I wasn't. It was a pretty normal breakup, despite the trauma associated with it." She sighed. "I was beyond embarrassed that everyone I knew also knew that he had knocked up another girl and that he was cheating. I was upset but I wasn't crying over it every day."

"So, your ex is a sc.u.mbag, will definitely lookout for that. What about the girls he has been with? Did you have any contact with them?"

"He came in search of me about half a year ago and I quickly shooed him off. I haven't spoken to any of his lovers." Katherine cooperated like a good girl.

"Good. I'll keep an eye out for everyone mentioned and hope nothing comes out," Irene said. She quickly hung up the phone and went about her work.

Stephen appeared, looking more tired than before.

"How did the talk with the director go?" Cage asked. Stephen looked at him with a quizzical brow.

"Magical," he commented. "I knew I could get him handled. All it took was a reminder that this scandal was free publicity for his movie and he had no problem giving you another day off."

Cage rolled his eyes. "He had a problem two days ago," he scoffed. One would think Cage had asked to sleep with the director's wife by how he was acting. Cage knew the news was delaying shooting but the director didn't have to overreact.

"Nobody expected you to f.u.c.k around in public," Stephen said, giving Cage and Katherine the stink eye. "Remember, even if you get into trouble, you need to somehow make it have benefits for the producers and directors." This was directed towards Katherine.

Katherine nodded even though she thought it was indecent.

"Any publicity is good publicity... as long as you are in public eye and not ignored, you're fine. Katherine and you are all over the place. You have mentioned the movie in the interview, as well, so all the news outlets are printing about it. That's millions of dollars in free publicity for the movie. Now that they see how much the movie is saving and going to rake in, they won't care if you strip n.a.k.e.d and run around the city holding hands." Stephen huffed.

"So classy," Katherine grumbled as Cage snickered behind her.

"Don't forget, I can spin anything to your advantage. Your team can spin any situation to suit you." He winked.

"And thank you for that. Your help has proven to be positive. Most of the public are fawning over our undying love for one another," Cage commented.

"I don't care what they think as long as they back off from us," Katherine interjected.

Stephen raised an eyebrow. "It's how you perceive your situation. These people don't know how you live your life or how you managed to date a star, so they want to know every aspect of you. The fact that you are so happy with your life rubs off on them and they want the best for you. The media? They want to bite onto the news and show you off. Give them the dream."

"So, attention is good?" Katherine grinned sarcastically.

"Have you seen your views and follower count recently? You'll understand when you do. There will always be haters but right now the tide is in your favor. Make use of it. And trust me." Stephen, always with his on-point analysis and tricks.

"I trust you with my life and hers," Cage said softly.

Stephen clutched at his chest, pretending to be touched. "The things you say. How am I supposed to keep myself from melting when you're around? Good thing I am not attracted to you or I would have tried to steal you away from Katherine," he joked.

Katherine cracked up. "He has the same effect on me, so I wouldn't fault you for trying to steal him."

"Best of all? Your video is making the world swoon. The reporters are gushing and asking for exclusive interviews and raunchy details. You have them eating out of your palms," Stephen informed. "How I hate them."

"Do the reporters know how much you hate them?" Cage chuckled. "They'd throw a fit if they knew."

"Well, it's not reporters that I hate, but the scavengers in the entertainment industry. They have no couth or respect for others. And no, they have no clue because I manage an actor. I know how to put up a facade and act like the perfect flower."

Now, this made the couple snort.

"I'm sorry," Katherine sighed. "You just visited H City and Angelina and we pulled you away."
