Chapter 220 - Never Refuse (1/2)

”I don't know what they were doing and I want to keep it that way. I already know too much about them,” he groaned. ”I think he is taking revenge for all the times we displayed affection publicly.”

How petty.

Well, it was his own fault, Katherine thought. ”I told you not to call.”

”Yes, I will listen to you from now on.” He looked defeated.

”Don't be scarred by so little. I am sure they will do worse,” she told him lightly. Knowing Angelina, she had no boundaries to speak of and rarely cared about her image. With Stephen on her side, she would just get worse.

Cage scrunched up his face. ”Oh god.”

”My poor Cage. It's okay, I'll make you feel better.” She stroked his forehead gently as he stared at her. Sure enough, he broke into laughter and shook his head.

”Come on. Let's go online and see what people are talking about.” Katherine raised her brow. ”We need to see if anyone else got asked.” Cage's words seemed well thought out. She followed him without complaint and pulled out her laptop for the first time during the trip.

Logging into her social media and game account, she went through all the chat logs and realize that there was not much talk about her or any competition coming up. Possibly, the team had just started to plan it out. She had heard of the launch happening in a couple of months, so she wasn't worried about that in the least.

After this, she realized that they didn't have much to do.

”Wanna play?” she asked coyly, the double meaning evident. He looked at her with a smug smile and nodded.

”I would never refuse that.”

”Take out your lappy. I'm going to beat your ass tonight.” She glared at him as he scoffed.

”You are forgetting who the teacher is, little girl,” Cage taunted as he bonced off and pulled out his laptop from his bag. He was setting it up when he saw her bend over to pick something up from the floor. Standing right behind her, he moved an inch.

Katherine bit back a grin when she heard him groan behind her. ”You're doing this on purpose!” Cage accused.

”What did I do?” she asked innocently. She barely contained her laugh when she looked over her shoulder to find him staring hungrily at her ass. Yes, she had done it on purpose.

”Where is your underwear?” he asked, his voice full of longing. She had changed into a long t-shirt that acted like a dress, falling mid-thigh. Because she hadn't been able to torture him to her heart's content before, she had come up with such a plan. It had taken her a long time to pull out this trump card.

”I ran out,” she said simply, shrugging her shoulders.

”Really?” he squeaked. He bounded forward, ready to pounce, but she moved away and concentrated on her laptop once again. With it powered up, she chatted with some people online. He grumbled as he pulled up his page.
