CEO’s Romantic Affair

The corridor was alternating in color with chestnut and ivory. Several modern paintings were hanging on the walls. They added a little bit of contrast and created an eye-catching blend. It really brightened up the room and let off a warm vibe in the house.

John, dressed in a tuxedo and had snow-white hair that was neatly combed back, gently reminded Cathryn to watch her step. Then they entered the far left of the house, and there was a row of wooden stairs with wooden rails. They had a traditional and rustic look, and there was another downward staircase with three steps leading to another floor.

Cathryn stared in amazement, she could see the treadmills and other sports equipment, which were placed neatly inside the room.

“The game room and the gym are on the first floor.” Keith briefly showed it to her, “The private coach will come to help you every week with the proper exercise during pregnancy. They say it is good for the baby.”

Hearing Keith’s words, Cathryn looked back at him with joy and anticipation. Keith was also looking at her with a faint smile.

“Have you taken part in any parenting classes?” Cathryn joked at him.

Keith was much more concerned about the baby than she was. However, her doubts about Keith gradually decreased after every day spent with him. It seemed as though her trust in him was steadily increasing. She was starting to see him as an honest, loving, and caring man.

“No, I just read some books,” replied Keith with a smile.

After they went upstairs in the elevator to the second floor, the first thing that caught Cathryn’s eyes was a wall on the left side of the staircase. It was a fireplace with half brick and half glass. It was rewarding to watch the flames lick the brick and see the beauty of the glowing embers and dancing flames.

The second floor, entirely belonging to Cathryn and Keith, was five thousand square feet in size. The fireplace was in the middle of everything. It had three different parts. It was divided into two bedrooms, and the other part was the recreation area.

The design and tone of the whole second floor matched the style of the first floor. The floor was covered with wood flooring, which was warm and smooth. Beside the fireplace were a chair and a red sofa. A corridor separated two bedrooms. One was Keith’s bedroom, while the bedroom on the other side belonged to Cathryn.

Arriving at the door of the bedroom, John bowed gracefully and said to Keith, “The rooms have been all prepared for you, Mr. Clarkson. You and Miss Riley can have a rest first, and I will inform you when dinner is ready.”

“Thank you, John,” Keith said, nodding at him.

Nodding slightly, John retreated to the stairway and turned away to go downstairs. Cathryn, who had only seen a steward on the television, looked at him with disbelief. She felt like it was a FairyTale.

Keith led her into the bedroom. There was a lattice bookshelf in front of them, with some very delicate porcelain. There was a wooden wall with a huge painting hanging on it on the right-hand side, and the style was similar to the paintings on the first floor.

Keith skillfully opened the sliding door on the right-hand side, and the light inside the room was soft and bright. It wasn’t until Cathryn saw the hangers that she realized it was a closet. She couldn’t believe it. It was a huge walk-in closet with sliding doors, a shelving system, and drawers. It was as big as her bedroom at her former home.

Cathryn’s clothes were hanging inside. She felt a little embarrassed because her clothes only took a small portion of the closet.

Glancing at the clothes, Keith said to Cathryn, “I will send someone to buy some new clothes for you tomorrow. Unless you would prefer to have a driver take you shopping?”

“These are enough, “Cathryn said hastily.

However, Keith smiled at her and said, “I want to do it for you. I just want to fill your closet.”

“Well, okay,” Cathryn murmured.

Then Keith continued to show Cathryn around the room. “This is your bathroom.”

The sink was made out of marble. It was smooth and neat, with towels and toiletries neatly placed on it. There was an oval mirror hanging over the sink showing the reflection of the bathtub. It was a spa-like onyx bath with a steam shower, Jacuzzi, and a sauna. Cathryn stood there with her mouth wide open. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. There were no words for her to describe how she felt.

Next to the bathroom, there was a mini glass fireplace which was the same as the one outside the room. On the right side of the fireplace is a large bed shaped like a shell.

“This is a massage room that I had built especially for you. You may experience some painful muscle contractions and swollen feet and ankles during your pregnancy. I have a massage therapist on call whenever you need her.” Keith said to Cathryn.

“Wow! You have really done your pregnancy homework?” said Cathryn.

A small corridor also separated the massage room and closet. The massage room was next to the nursery. Although the baby was not yet born, Keith had made all the preparations. Looking at the neatly arranged baby products inside the nursery. It was like a small store. After having a baby, it had everything that anyone could possibly want or need. Warmth surged into Cathryn’s heart.

There was no relationship between them other than them being the baby’s parents. Even a husband could not be so meticulous for his wife, and it was evident that Keith had put a lot of energy, thought, and emotion into this. He treated their child so seriously, really making her feel special and unique.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“I am right next door. If you have a problem, you can ring the bell at the head of the bed or come straight to my room.” Keith said. Then Keith opened the door of his bedroom. Seeing Cathryn craning her neck to see inside, Keith smiled and stretched out his hand to hold her, afraid that she might fall.

“Would you like to come into my room and have a look?” Keith asked.

Cathryn just wanted to see if the structure in his room was the same as hers, but now her wrist was grasped by his hand. She could feel the hot muscles beneath his palms were hard and firm. His touch made her melt like butter. Cathryn’s face suddenly blushed.

“No! Is dinner ready? I’m so hungry!” Cathryn said, hugging her belly, and turned and walked towards the living room. Looking at her figure, Keith smiled slightly.
