Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 168 - So Violent

Chapter 168 - So Violent

'Thank you, Lily. I felt like I walked into the movie theatre twenty minutes after it began and it confused the hell out of me.'

"Lily is correct. We can only evaluate the situation if you guys stop shouting and give us the details of what happened." Cage's words sparked some discontent in Stephen's expression.

"Why would you take someone else's side?" Stephen whined. Angelina smacked him for no reason and he ended up saying something else. "You're my friend, you should take my side." He scooted away from Angelina, still unsure as to why she had hit him. To be honest, one of the others knew as well, but Lily had a suspicion that Angelina just wanted to hit him to vent her frustration.

What a weird and violent relationship these two will have. They aren't even seeing each other yet and they still have so much drama in their lives.

"Actually, I like to be unbiased. I will decide who was in the wrong after hearing the whole story," Cage responded.

"I planned the whole trip so that you would haul your sulky ass out of your room. I was the one who made sure you met Katherine. How are you going to repay me? By being 'unbiased'?" he quoted in the air.

"What are you? From a 90s sitcom?" Angelina grumbled. Cage laughed as he heard both of them and then looked at Katherine carefully before answering.

"Thank you for your stellar services," he said. "Now, mind explaining what happened?" The curiosity would kill them.

Everyone was seated and Stephen placed himself beside Katherine and Cage, probably to maintain some distance from Angelina.

'His rose-tinted view of her disappeared pretty fast,' Katherine thought. It was impressive even my Angelina's standards.

"So, I thought we would go to a couple of novelty places for those buffets. We were having so much fun just going about the city and spending money like water..." He sounded almost whimsical. Taking Angelina to a buffet? It could go two ways: one, she would curse you for bringing her there and storm out, or two, she would single-handedly put a dent in the restaurant's food supply. "Damn, this woman can drive..." At this, Stephen shot Angelina a smile.

"I drive that beauty of a car better than you ever will," she said with the flip of her hair.

"Anyway..." he diverted. "We were at the buffet, just having dessert when we had a little squabble." He waved that off like it wasn't an issue at all, but Angelina was not having it.

"You made a comment about making me plump!" she hissed. Her glare was evident. The others glanced between the two. Asking a model to gain weight? Stephen was either an idiot or actively looking for death. "It's evident that you want to monopolize me or whatever," she scoffed.

"I just said that I like women who can eat," he protested. "I was complimenting you or holding your ground in front of me." Stephen shrugged.

"He is a pig when he eats. I would go broke if I didn't lock my refrigerator at home." Katherine looked at Cage with a dumbfounded expression. "A bottomless pit," Cage added in a low voice.

"Keep lying." Angelina rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, we were bickering when a woman walks up to us and starts to talk to me."

"Ha!" Angelina interrupted. "Talking? She was shoving her b.o.o.b.s towards you."

"That tone you are taking reeks of possessiveness. Almost like you are acknowledging that you are attracted to me..." Stephen pointed out, grinning ear to ear. Damn, he had really caught her with that. It was not often someone retorted to Angelina unless it was either Lily or Katherine.

"Don't flatter yourself, Luther," she replied in a much softer tone. "If you throw cars and food at me in a short span of time, I get really horny." Lily would go crosseyed if this continued.

Who was Angelina trying to fool? Sure, she really liked driven sleek cars and eating on her cheat day, but she was a hornball because she found Stephen Luther unbearably hot. Katherine almost burst out laughing because she was thinking the same. Angelina threw them both a glare, knowing they were thinking of the same thing.

"I'll remember that for later but damn, you feel jealous when you are horny?" Stephen arched his brow.

'I am losing track of the conversation,' Cage thought. 'It's on me. I was the one who asked for details.' He sighed.

"Continue," Lily said impatiently, tapping on her wristwatch for effect.

"So, the woman starts talking to me, trying to ask me for my number and whatnot, I didn't think much of it because people usually recognize me as your manager and try to see if they can land a deal to see you," Stephen said this in a matter-of-fact voice that made everyone believe him.

"Yeah, she was eyeing you like a piece of premium steak. And this punk was talking her up, telling her how pretty she was. It was f.u.c.k.i.n.g disgusting." Cage sucked in a breath, knowing Stephen had f.u.c.k.i.e.d up. He was a ladies man, but damn, if he was doing this while pursuing a woman... he really wasn't smart.

"I am a people pleaser. And it looked like she was doing it to show off to her friends!" Stephen protested. He looked towards Cage for his approval but the man just shook his head.

'I'm not going to help you when you acted like a douchebag.'

"Traitor," Stephen muttered under his breath. "She was going to leave when dear Angel grabbed her shoulder, told her off for ignoring her, and then punched her square in the face." Katherine's eyes widened.

So, restaurant fights were a thing.

"If there was jello involved, I wouldn't have minded, but we were drawing a bit of a crowd and Angelina was going at it..." he paused for effect. "Some guards came up and pulled them apart. Because Angelina started it, the other girl pressed charges."

Angelina shrugged. "They could only take me away because she was in bad shape and she couldn't even put a scratch on me." So violent.
