Chapter 242 - Sweet Of You

Then the light over her head went off. "Laurence Mitch?" she repeated, not fully grasping what was happening. "As in LazerBoi?" she confirmed.

"Yeah," he replied peevishly.

"Oh, hello..." she replied, mildly bewildered. "How are you doing?" she asked. She was actually curious about how he had gotten her number.

"I\'m doing okay," he replied casually. "I just landed in City H for a contract signing and called you. Hope I didn\'t wake you up." Well, he had woken her up but he was a celebrity so she wouldn\'t kick his as for it. Also, he hadn\'t been rude to her. Such a reaction would be uncalled for.

"Don\'t worry about it," she reassured him, slowly getting out of bed and processing the situation.

"I\'m glad you don\'t mind me calling this early," he paused briefly. "I was really busy for the past couple of days and wasn\'t able to get back to you earlier. I hope you don\'t think I am unwilling to collaborate with you."

"No, I didn\'t think that." A.d.u.l.ts had a lot of responsibilities and work to handle. Why would she think about late replies when she was so bad at replying to messages herself.

Laurence sounded relieved by that. "I\'m glad you don\'t mind. I just wanted to apologize and was hoping that you were still interested in doing the collaboration?"

She paused for a while before replying, not wanting to sound too eager. She had gone through his content and there was nothing problematic that she could point at. She trusted her gut and decided that a collaboration would be good for her. "I am still interested," she informed him eagerly. "Do you have any idea what you want to do in the video and when you will be free?" she asked. She pulled out a notepad and pen.

"I\'ll be here a couple of days but how does tomorrow sound for you? Or is that so soon?"

"Tomorrow isn\'t too soon but I won\'t be available during normal work hours. I can meet you in the evening. How does that sound to you?" She was as professional as she could be. It was a business meeting of sorts.

"Great. I look forward to seeing you, then. I was hoping that I could film a video with you for your channel and post the behind the scenes on mine as a more interactive piece." He sounded thoughtful himself as if he had thought about it but wasn\'t sure what she would think about it.

"I\'ll be frank with you. I am new to this and I don\'t take hours to make the video like you do..." she trailed off, giving him a fair warning before he committed to anything.

"We can work that out when we start. I am excited, actually," he admitted. "Do you mind giving me your address?" Katherine thought about it for a minute and digressed. While she didn\'t like giving out her information, she had to do it for the collaboration. He was living in a hotel in all probability and the only way they could cook was in a fully furnished and stocked kitchen.

She sighed internally as she spoke. "I\'ll send you the address after the call. But I am curious. How did you get my number?"

There was a nervous silence on the other side and she braced herself for something bad. "I actually called the CoG representatives and asked for your number. They asked?questions about why I needed it and I told them the reason. Hope you don\'t mind that. Well, yeah... that\'s how I got it. Sorry for being creepy." Ah, so that was how it went down. He went into an explanation on how he didn\'t have enough time to go to and forth with me on messages considering he had a limited number of days before he needed to go back. He lived in City O, where the championship would take place and he was one of the special guests. So, that was why he got the information easily.

"You don\'t need to reassure me about their integrity," she chuckled. She could find out the truth herself if she was uncomfortable.

"Actually, my manager got the idea to call you," he explained further.

"It was sweet of you to call." She told him.

"I also wanted to hear your voice. I have heard it in your videos and it seems so nice that I wanted to hear it in real life. Well, we can\'t call this in person\' as we are on the phone but you get what I mean." Katherine didn\'t think much of it. Laurence was much more awkward than she had imagined. He portrayed a dorky yet confident personality on his channel so she hadn\'t thought he would be so far from it.

Well, his viewers watched him because of the personality he put on, so she couldn\'t complain.

"Oh." She didn\'t know what else to say.

"Sorry, was that too forward?" Laurence was back to being a ball of nervousness.

"No, no. I understand the feeling of loving someone\'s voice. It is a unique trait most people don\'t really consider." She had to chuckle. She liked Cage\'s voice, too. Who was she to judge the likes of a voice lover?

She heard a banging sound in the background and heard the rusting closer to the phone. ""Hey Katherine. I wish I could talk a little longer but my friend is calling me. I\'ll see you tomorrow. Send me the time and address when you can."

"Will do," she informed him in a casual tone. With that, she ended the call.

She sat on the bed, taking a couple of seconds to digest what had just transpired. She was collaborating with a hotshot creator. He had called to apologize and confirm.

She smiled and shot Cage a text. [Mr. Cavanaugh, beware. It seems I might become famous really soon.] She pressed send and then waited for his reply.

[I look forward to being called Katherine Austen\'s boyfriend!] Cage replied. The excitement and pure sweetness made her heart melt. She rubbed the letters on the screen as if imagine it were his face. Then she sighed and got up.

Time to get ready for work.
