Chapter 20 - Corrupted Beyond Repair
"There is a major flaw in your plan. You are not Cara DeLevingne. You are Angelina and you can't act for your life." The other glared at her. Her eyes conveyed the ssage of sothing like, 'you are wrong.' "Your attempt at anchoring for the dia carnival showed that… you weren't ant for the glamorous ti."
"That was one ti. I was nervous!" Katherine shrugged. She didn't think the anchoring was that bad, but it wasn't 'good', either.
"You can't draw either, but you are doing well enough as an illustrator, aren't you? Don't knock on 'em until you try them." Katherine threw her head back in laughter. Seriously, she had needed that blow to fully awaken that morning.
"Yes, my little Angel. You will take City H by storm." She went back to cooking as she heard Angelina mumble.
"You might not get to be the mother of his babies, but you can be near him a lot if I marry him. Don't worry; I will let you feast your eyes on him."
"That's kind of you," she injected helpfully, not wanting to rain on her parade.
"Fa and fortune won't change the friendship we have since our college days, Katherine. You might not think the sa, but I sure spend the best days of my life with you." The words were heartfelt, and despite their differences, Angelina and Katherine were friends at the end of the day. Just on so days, they seed to forget.
"Don't you have work to do?" Katherine asked once they had quieted down. Lily had left early that morning on a photoshoot and she had expected Angelina to be gone, too.
"No. I have a couple of days off. We are on for Cage's new movie, right?"
"I've booked our tickets."
"Let's see my man on-screen, shall we?"
Katherine only shook her head as she put the spoon in her mouth. The food was delicious but the conversation was spicier. She could live with it.

[RayKon53: Once a fangirl, always a fangirl. I know how you feel. If you know our favourite character since childhood, you are not a very small girl, now, are you? I am noticing you, rin rin. Don't you see? *spreads arm in invite*]
Katherine let out a giggle when she read the ssage. Of course, she was a legal loli. She didn't dare pretend to be a minor and fool fellow citizens into thinking that they were committing a great cri. She looked at the ssage one more ti before typing out.
[Rinten: I am a big girl, senpai. But you can bribe into playing a little girl.]
She sent a winking emoji attached to the ssage and went back to work, feeling playful.
It was hours before her work was over, but she felt a rush of energy when she rembered that she had to check the ga to see if he had replied.
And of course, there was a ssage waiting for her in the direct ssages.
[RayKon53: Are you sure you will be okay taking my bribes? I am a lecher after all. Don't want to corrupt a poor girl.]
She was willing, she thought as she nodded her head in a big yes. She would love his bribes and his punishnts alike. That is all she wanted.
A lecher? Sure. Weren't we all a little lewd when it cos to talking to strangers? And what poor little girl? Hadn't they established that she was perfectly capable and legal? She could bend backwards to draw out the words in his mouth. She was at the edge of her seat in excitent, wondering what she should write to stimulate this man.
[Rinten: This girl is already corrupt beyond repair.] She found herself smiling mischievously as she typed out the words and let them sit. She giggled in joy as she cooked up naughty images in her head and wanted to play them out with her dear little RayKon.
[Rinten: All your gas will be a welco addition to my boring life.]

Cage bowed his head as he entered the aeroplane. He usually had to bend a bit so that he didn't hurt himself, much out of concern than real threat. His laptop was tucked to his side and he had co on with a small backpack that had a quick change of clothes. His manager was right behind him, cribbing about how the promotional team for the movie wasn't doing their part and would end up ruining Cage's prospects of making a hit in the romance genre.
Cage, though, was much more concerned about how he would handle the flight. He particularly hated being on the plane for longer flights. It ensured that he ended with a backache and a bad case of jet lag.
On this flight, he was headed to City B where he would attend a fan et and go on so shows for the promotion of his film. He rembered that his ti fra was changing further and that he would reach City B early in the morning there and be tired to the bone, only to wake up at nine in the morning and rush to et his appointnts.
Once he was situated on the plane, he pulled out his laptop and booted the ga. His manager gazed on from the side.
"Are you sure you are not addicted? You've been playing this ga an awful lot recently. Are you too bored? Do I need to schedule more work for you?" Stephen teased.
"If you give any more work, I will leave you and go to another agent who takes better care of ," he threatened in a low voice. He knew that he was the cash-cow of his manager and that the money he made off Cage would be enough to shut him up and not complain.
