Chapter 104 - Support My Friend (1/2)

”Could you tell us where she went? We could catch up to her,” Stephen pleased.

Angelina sighed. ”I don't know and I wouldn't tell you even if I did. You messed with my friend, you ain't going to ruin the one chance she has for a rebound.”

”So you don't know,” Stephen said smugly. The other gazed at Stephen and said nothing.

”Unfortunately, we had a falling out. I don't think she would tell me anything after what I told her.” She winced.

Cage imagined a scenario where Katherine went home with the guy she was out with and he felt his heart shatter. He couldn't just stand around waiting while it happened. It would be better if he just went back home. He couldn't stand seeing her with someone else.

”Wait!” Angelina called from behind them. They turned to look at her. ”I'm sure she won't be long. Why don't you come inside and wait for a bit?” Stephen shrugged and followed the woman in without looking for Cage's opinion.

At this point, the man was frustrated by how he was being treated by his secretary.

Cage followed behind, huffing as he closed the door after him. They were led to a living room where there was a huge television and a wall full of photographs of three girls.

Cage quickly noticed the brunette who looked beyond happy in the pictures, smiling at her friends or at the camera. He found himself smiling with her and was almost nostalgic when he realized that he might not be able to see her smile like this ever.

She was beautiful. Beyond beautiful. Her doe-like eyes and full cherry lips made her look like an angel and the curve of her body was just perfect. There was nothing boyish about her, nor was she like those models who people seemed to like. She was glorious and unappreciated. He could see that when he saw her picture with her two friends. He could see the insecurity in her eyes when she was around them and he didn't like it one bit.

”This you?” Stephen pointed at a picture of Angelina.

”Yeah,” she said when she looked at what he was pointing at.

”Damn,” she heard Stephen say and rolled her eyes. She was used to these compliments, but now was not the time she wanted to be called hot. It was the furthest thing from her mind.

”And this must be your friend Lily.”

”She's not home either. They went out together but I don't know when she will be back.”

”We don't really care for the other girl. Only Katherine. I guess you realize that Cage has been involved with Katherine for some time now?” Angelina scoffed. She was staring at Cage with a strange expression on her face.

”It sure didn't sound like you were bothered when you had a woman over after you ditched my friend.”

”She was just a friend!” Cage defended.

”Yeah, and you didn't tell her anything about it. She doesn't even know who you are. All these secrets. Are you sure you like her?” she accused. She seemed to be boring into his skull.

”Maybe she does know who I am and is pretending not to.” He knew that was not true, but he felt the need to defend herself in front of this aggressive woman.
