Chapter 317 - Master In This Field

Stephen came in that night looking exhausted.

"Are the two of you doing okay?" Stephen asked as he plopped down on the bed.

"Have some courtesy," Cage frowned seeing his manager sit so casually.

"Give me a break. I took a flight, was in meetings throughout, got too many calls from reporters, and had to go to the police station to press charges against the paps." He heaved a sigh.

"You\'ve worked hard," Katherine soothed, handing him a glass of juice.

"Is this from the suite fridge? They cost a bomb," Stephen complained.

"Stop complaining. I can spare a few dollars for a drink." Cage was seated on the floor and looking through articles that had come out.

"Did you call your parents?" Stephen asked, looking at the two.

"I called my parents. My mom found out because she has news alerts on her phone. She wasn\'t too pleased... neither was my dad. But his anger against the reporters outshined his outrage for his daughter being in a relationship with a celebrity." Katherine chuckled.

"I haven\'t called Mom, yet. Dad won\'t have a fit, but mom will probably kill some people."

"She already did," Stephen informed. "Henrick and Anna pulled up their contacts, got the lawyers in the case, and sued a few outlets. The paps are quivering in their boots, too. Don\'t know what they did." The protective tendencies of parents was a great thing.

"So they won\'t be too pissed," Cage commented.

"Now that they have handled the legalities, you\'ll get your ass handed to you because you weren\'t discreet enough."

"They would never!" Katherine gasped. "They seem so nice."

"Until they are pissed off." Cage didn\'t look bothered so Katherine didn\'t think much about it either. "People are already starting to speculate who you are," Stephen told Katherine. "It\'s only a matter of time before they dig out who you are."

"I\'m getting messages from fans asking if it is me, too." Katherine frowned.

"You have very distinguishing features. No wonder they recognized you instantly." Stephen thought for a bit. "At this time, we need a two-pronged attack. One to assuage your viewers and the other to let the world know who you are gently."

"And how do you propose that?" Cage asked curiously.

"We\'re getting on a team call in half an hour," Stephen sighed. "Join in."

"You guys are insane," Cage said, locking eyes with Stephen and Katherine. "Let me get this straight. You want Katherine to post a video revealing me as her boyfriend and then date publicly."

"It allows Katherine to be in the position of power and us to control the variables." Stephen informed him. "It might be easier to determine who has been sending those threatening messages if we do that."

Cage glanced at Katherine to see her nodding in agreement. She knew all about the letters and had read through them, horror evident on her face. She was practically on board with any solution as long as it meant Cage was safe.

"We don\'t know if Giselle or I are being stalked," Cage groaned.

Stephen ignored that. "Jealousy is a huge factor in this case. If the person sees you together out in the public. It will drive them out into the open further. They already sent the pictures to the newspapers. Didn\'t even take the money and used a throwaway email at that."

"That means you are using Katherine as a bait." Cage was horrified.

"A willing bait," Katherine interjected.

"In a controlled setting," Stephen added.

"You\'re all crazy."

"Mr. Cavanaugh. Might we remind you that you pay us to get you the best plan of action?" Irene, the bitch, said.

Cage glared at her through the screen. "They somehow have pictures of you coming out of the hospital. The newspapers were going to publish it, but we stopped it. These are very deliberate moves to get under your skin and get close to you."

"And it will get to Katherine soon. It\'ll affect her work and her morale. Do you want that?" Someone else from the team commented. Katherine remained silent, wanting to protest but also knowing that it would only strengthen Cage\'s stance.

After a long time, Cage sighed. "Okay, we\'ll make a video revealing my identity to her followers for starters. We ensure that the style of the video is in line with her usual content and doesn\'t look forced. We\'ll call GC and give them some extra content that they can print an exclusive on and promote the video on their online article. I also want a group of bodyguards assigned to Katherine."

Katherine stared at him for a moment before turning away.

"I have no problem with that." To make him feel better and never be in the same situation ever again, she was ready to give up her freedom for the recent future.

"I know it is a lot to ask, but we will have to depend on you to make this succeed," Irene bowed. Katherine smiled and didn\'t speak back.

"I\'ve already revealed parts of Cage\'s personality in my videos on his assistance. He has featured off-camera interrupting me and helping me clear levels. He has put on an accent every time and changed his voice so we should go ahead with that trend. In line with my graphic art side of the channel, I think we should do one of those reveals."

No one really understood what she was talking about but they trusted her gut.

"Okay, I\'ll get GC on the line within a few hours. We can start filming with Stephen present," Irene quickly planned out. "Do you need any help editing the videos?"

"No need, I am a master in this field," Katherine chuckled proudly.

"Okay, we\'ll leave it to you, then. Send us the video once you are done and we can give it the green light. We\'ll send it to GC post that and have Cage answer a few questions with them, too. We\'ll make this about you revealing your private life willingly and not because your boyfriend is a celebrity."

"Thank you, it makes me feel powerful." Even though this move was made to lure out the stalker. This move really gave her the upper hand in the situation.
