CEO’s Romantic Affair

Keith just nodded and carefully followed every movement she made.

“Here, drink this,” Cathryn handed him a cup of water.

“Thank you,” a short reply came out from him then he gulped down the water.

“I will send you to your room,” she offered and swung her arm around his waist. Their bodies were so close that Keith’s strong desire was awakened; however, he managed to suppress them. Cathryn bid farewell after sending him to his room.

Returning to her room, she again received a message from Jordan.

The picture sent by Jordan was their wedding photo.

Cathryn clicked it open and remembered about her awful divorce. That shame came again, and she decided to sleep alone tonight after helping Keith to go to bed.

Not sure what he wanted, Cathryn replied, “Don’t make me block you again, Jordan,”

Jordan responded quickly, and Cathryn looked at the new message with irritation.

“Come to the set TOMORROW, no audition, 2nd leading role.”

The third had upgraded to the second, and he was basically begging her to go to the film. The more so, the deeper the trap must be. Cathryn didn’t think anymore but threw her phone aside and went to the bathroom.

The ringtone called her out of the bathroom. Cathryn, in all bareness, touched the screen with wet fingers and saw a message left by her divorced husband.

Her whole body went cold, she could curse him if she wanted but replied with one word.

Bastard!

Jordan threatened her that he would get back at her one way or another. If she didn’t come, he would take his revenge on her parents. Along with the message came with a photo of her parents watching a movie. In the picture, the poster of “The Alert” was made into a roll-up, standing in the stairway, which was particularly eye-catching.

Cathryn basically figured out that Jordan hated her because of her mother.

Jordan had viciously noticed this, too, so he would use her mother to threaten Cathryn.

She sighed coldly, put the phone down, and wiped herself dry for bed.

The next day, she woke up early and asked Jack to send her to the airport and rush to Douglas City.

What he asked Cathryn to shoot was a period TV drama set in the 1910s. Jordan was the leading man, the heroine was an acquaintance, Alice Wilson.

Under the escort of her father, Alice went all the way here. She did have good resources, though, but less so on acting skills. More and more trolls on the Internet went against her and her resources. But Alice had her father’s broad mind and didn’t show any care.

She was, after all, here by his father’s influence. If it upset anyone, they could very well try to be born again and see if they could get a great father.

Cathryn arrived at the set and was directly met by Jordan. Instead of allowing herself to be driven by him, as soon as she saw him, she went straightforwardly with her leading man.

“I have a few months to go before the contract ends. This will be the last TV show before that. If you disagree, I will expose our hidden marriage. When people find out that you’d proposed to Miss Green before you divorced me, you know how the entertainment people would treat a scum man.”

“You have threatened me with my mother, so I am not afraid to go desperate.” She added.

As she was finishing, Jordan looked at her hateful eyes and felt his heart being torn apart. He knew it too well that she could not threaten him with that, but he nodded anyway because, if he didn’t, he’d lose the chance to even see her again.

So many wonderful years he had after he had gotten rid of that ugly family, he realized that now he had become the worst kind of person he’d expected.

His poor and petty upbringing had given him great self-esteem and sensitivity. He never bowed to anyone, especially to women, and more especially a woman he used to hate.

But he bowed to Cathryn Riley this time. He even threatened her with her family just to make her come over. Jordan felt disgusted by pulling all the tricks and even more desperate when she showed up for real.

He couldn’t control himself, though, he felt himself so dumb, like a poor kid holding cautiously an old Iron Man robot that someone else left, his heart full of hatred and bitterness but was proud at the same time.

He hated the charity of others, but he loved this toy so much. The contradiction made him suffer but also made him calm over the rage that manipulated his emotions.

Cathryn’s upgraded female role had a lot of drama. In the script, she was a student, and her costume was mostly school uniform, loose enough to hide her bulged abdomen.

She didn’t expect herself to come to the crew at last with anger and impulse. She only left a word to Keith and did not discuss it with him. This had made her a little sorry, but Keith didn’t seem to mind. He even sent his staff here as soon as she set foot in the city. Jane took very good care of her, so much that Cathryn felt sorry to send her boss a thanks.

Keith called three times a day nevertheless. Now that they were much closer, the content of the call was more and more intimate. Even the popular actress Miss Wilson had to protest their affection.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

With Jane’s company to her, Keith could always call Cathryn right on time when she got back to the hotel. But one day in the second week of shooting, he called her while she was still on the set.

It was a special ringtone just for him. She automatically laughed when it rang, picked up the call, and quickly indulged in sweet chitchat.

There weren’t strict regulations for personal calls, not to mention Cathryn was not a key role on that day, and no one blinked an eye while staring at her.

But it apparently upset the producer and leading man sitting aside.

“We are starting to shoot, hang up,” Jordan demanded coldly as soon as he heard Keith’s voice.
