CEO’s Romantic Affair

After passing Cathryn the heating pads, Cathryn opened her suitcase, took out the sheets and the quilt, then started to make her bed. It had been a long time since she had made a bed as Catherine always did it.

While they were talking, Alice’s cell phone suddenly rang. A sweet smile came across her face as she answered the phone. Therefore, Cathryn guessed it was probably her boyfriend. Seeing Alice so happy, suddenly, she remembered that when she boarded the plane, she had turned her phone off and forgot to turn it back on.

“Oh my gosh, I completely forgot!” Cathryn said in a whisper and hurriedly began to look for her phone.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Alice had just hung up and saw how anxious Cathryn looked. She immediately jumped out of bed and went over to Cathryn. With a concerned look on her face, she asked, “Would you like some help?”

She found her phone in the pocket of her jacket and immediately turned it on. She just smiled and shook her head as soon as she saw the number of Keith’s company flashing on the screen.

“Hello, can I speak to Keith?” She asked while trying to keep the eagerness out of her voice.

“Just one minute, Miss Riley. I will let Mr. Clarkson know you’re on the line,” Keith’s secretary replied.

Cathryn could hear the rustling sound of footsteps, and then Keith’s soft and gentle voice picked up the phone, “Cathryn, I was worried. I tried to call, and it went straight to your voicemail.”

Hearing Keith’s voice, Cathryn was relieved and unconsciously smiled and said, “I’m sorry. I turned my phone off when I boarded the plane and just remembered to turn it on now. If you…”

Glancing at the SMS messages, it showed there were a total of ninety-seven unanswered calls. Then she joked, “If you had made just three more calls, then there would be a total of one hundred unanswered calls.”

Her joke made Keith burst into laughter, and a strange feeling of excitement filled her as she listened to him, “Have you arrived at the filming location?” Keith asked.

“Yes, I just arrived.” She nodded her head and said. “It’s nice here. It’s not too cold, and my room is nice and cozy. So, you don’t have to worry about me.”

After telling Keith that her room was nice, she immediately started to feel guilty. She only said that because she knew how busy he was, and she didn’t want him to worry about her. He sighed with relief, knowing that she was okay. He asked the name of the hotel she was staying at and told her to try and eat something for dinner, and then they hung up the phone.

As soon as she was finished talking to Keith, she began to unpack her luggage. Then when she turned her head and glanced at Alice, she noticed that she was staring at her.

“Was that your boyfriend, Cathryn?” Alice asked as she tilted her head in a sign of genuine curiosity. Shocked by Alice’s question, Cathryn shook her head, smiled, and replied, “No, that was just a friend.”

Alice looked at her like she had known everything, grinned, and said, “It seems that everyone in the entertainment circle likes to hide their boyfriends and girlfriends, but I don’t.”

Amused by Alice’s words, Cathryn asked, “Why is that?”

“I think it’s disrespectful to my boyfriend if I were to keep him a secret.” Alice said, “My boyfriend doesn’t care, but I do. Maybe it’s because I’m too young and laid-back.”

It was indeed one of the reasons, it also showed that Alice was a sweet and innocent woman. Just as she had said, hiding boyfriends and girlfriends was an irresponsible thing to do. It was effortless to be able to tell the truth, but Cathryn didn’t understand it until she and Jordan had gotten a divorce.

After checking into the hotel, Jordan and Athena went to dinner with the director and the other leading actors and actresses.

During the meal, Jordan arranged for Jason to go to the kitchen to order some light snacks, preparing to take them to Cathryn. But when Jason heard Jordan’s request, he asked without hesitation, “Are those meant for Cathryn?”

Looking up at Jason, Jordan’s eyes grew deep and large. He remained silent and didn’t reply. “I’ll get some light meals to give to her as an apology for accidentally letting go of her arm,” Jason just smiled uncomfortably.

“Athena was your choice. Now that you have chosen her, we should go ahead according to the plan. Your contract with the company will expire right away, so you need to be careful that you don’t make any mistakes.”

Jason always knew more clearly about what to do than Jordan, but he never directly told Jordan. He only reminded him. Looking up at Jason, Jordan’s eyes became more in-depth.

His lips slightly moved as if he was about to say something. Then he restrained his anger and turned his head away from Jason, and went back to eating his meal.

The weather forecast reported that there would be a cold current hitting Well City this evening and tomorrow. With Cathryn being pregnant, she knew that she didn’t want to catch a cold. Although she had the heating pads, the quilt that she brought was too thin. So, she knew it was going to be freezing tonight and wasn’t sure how to stay warm.

Alice had contacted the front lounge several times, but they hadn’t sent anyone to fix the heater. After unpacking her luggage, Cathryn put on her coat, left the room, and took the elevator to the hotel lobby. It was time for dinner now, and there were only two young ladies at the front desk who were looking at their phones. Seeing Cathryn come over, one of the ladies asked Cathryn what she could do to help her.

“I’m a guest in room 708. I am one of the actresses in the film The Alert. The heater in my room is broken. We have contacted you several times this evening, but you haven’t sent anyone to repair it yet. Can you please send someone to fix it tonight?” Cathryn introduced herself and clearly stated her needs.

“I’m sorry, but the repairman is already off duty. Can you wait until tomorrow?” The young lady politely asked. The hotel was adjacent to the filming location, and the front desk staff was accustomed to seeing the famous stars.
