Chapter 303 - Freebie List

The car came to a halt in front of the screening location. From the tinted glass of the car, Katherine could see the majesty of the red carpet, fans, and a plethora of cameras that came with it.

Despite the flash of cameras as the door opened, nothing much was revealed of who was sitting inside the car. When Cage emerged, he blocked the sight of her within the car and closed the door behind him. Loud shouts followed as fans screamed for the person who stood at the edge of the carpet, waiting for him to stride forward.

Looking at his back, Katherine\'s heart filled with some unknown warmth that she didn\'t understand.

The cameramen on the other hand noticed Cage\'s peculiar behavior and realized that someone remained hidden in the car. Where it would go, was still a mystery. Some decided to follow, but then they looked at the impressive amount of people who would also be coming to the premiere and shook their heads.

Following Cage\'s car would prove detrimental to the news that they can initially come to cover.

As Cage walked forward, the car disappeared from sight. He remained low-key and didn\'t really take much time to go to the entrance.

On the other side of the building, Cage\'s car had come to a halt and Katherine remained seated patiently. The driver finally looked over his shoulder and smiled at her.

"Miss Austen, someone will be arriving shortly. Please wait a few more minutes," he reassured. Katherine nodded and smiled back, not saying more. She was simply pleased to be at an event, she didn\'t need special treatment.

It seemed she was treated more like a star than the others, so she felt mildly ashamed. When the door to the car finally opened, Katherine felt the need to hide her face.

"Miss Austen?" someone called. She turned slowly and found a person with a staff card waiting for her. Her cheeks burned with embarrassment as she scooted to the edge of the car and slid out.

"Mr. Cavanaugh asked me to escort you inside the venue. Please follow me," the man said, knowing that Katherine was hesitant. Katherine nodded despite herself and followed the man silently.

Her gown was long enough that she needed to walk carefully. As they entered through the back door, she looked around to see familiar faces from the other side of the television everywhere.

"We\'ve already informed the staff to show you around, so don\'t feel awkward," the man said. For the most part, it was this guy who had to be out of his normal duty to help her around. She definitely did meet quite a few people, none of whom recognized her but were curious. She kept the introductions to a minimum and spoke politely to everyone.

Cage was shifting around in the room talking to others, as well. He looked over towards her and smiled encouragingly at times. Mostly, his phone didn\'t ping from notifications about her exploits at the premiere, so Cage was a little confused.

[C: You aren\'t filming?] he sent her.

He saw her reach into her clutch and pull out her phone to reply. Her eyes roamed across the room to set on him and she smiled.

[K: I\'ll only film the actors in the film. It\'s too much to film everything.]

Cage didn\'t reply but when he turned to her, his eyes revealed acknowledgment. He felt the need to sigh. She had been talking to everyone but not really showing her true self. He could understand her worries, so he didn\'t press her. She would come to enough of these events to finally break out of her shell.

Katherine did post pictures, though. With the movie poster and the premiere signs. She looked gorgeous, so no one really thought much about it. If she received an invite, she definitely belonged. It was actually the captions that revealed who she truly was.

From comparing her b.o.o.b.s to a celebrity who was worshipped for hers to some actor who was so versatile that she wanted to be friends with them. She didn\'t tag those people, though. She was too ashamed.

Finally, the cast began to arrive. She clicked pictures of them from angles, making sure her panicked expression was evident in each.

\'Should I just run towards them?\' she captioned one.

She felt a tap on her shoulder as she published the picture. She turned around, expecting someone from the security to stop her from taking pictures but instead, it was someone she never expected. She gasped, almost jumping back in fright.

"Katherine, right?" he asked. Oh, god. Ryan knew her name.

"Hi," she could muster up. "You know me?" she squeaked.

"You\'re as cute as you seem in your videos!" he commented. He patted her back.

"Wait, you know of my videos, too?" If she were to die right then, she wouldn\'t mind. She would have liked to think that she looked composed, but in reality, she looked star-struck. How could that be when she spent so much time together with Cage, you ask?

Because Cage was her boyfriend... he was no longer a celebrity she worshipped from afar any longer. A man with flesh and bones was much different from the gods she saw on the screen. Anyone apart from Cage still seemed to be in that light.

"Well, I got tweeted at a lot by our mutual fans, so I watched your content. You really like me, don\'t you?" His smile was so brilliant that Katherine felt a blush creeping up her cheeks.

"I do talk about you sometimes," she giggled. With the banality of the conversation, Katherine felt more comfortable than before.

"Wait, am I not on your freebie list?" Ryan asked casually. Katherine\'s breath hitched before she replied.

"I\'m amazed you know about the list," she replied. "I wouldn\'t dare to have those any longer. My boyfriend would probably kill you in front of my eyes before he comes at me with a dagger." She chuckled.

Ryan\'s eyes sparkled. "I can see him butchering me, but he loves you too much to kill you. He\'d be sullen for some time before forgiving you. Mind you, I won\'t flirt with you for the sole reason that Cage will not let me sleep."
