CEO’s Romantic Affair

Chapter 54: Let Me Rub It



A sudden cramp in her calf caused Cathryn to open her eyes. She didn’t even notice that Keith was sitting next to her as she hurried to clasp her knee. She held onto it and cried out in pain.

With the taste of her still remaining on his lips, he instantly reacted. He kneeled on the floor and held her leg in his hands. He gently and slowly rubbed her muscles with his fingers.

One of the tendons in her calf, as if a sharp knife had cut it, was causing her so much discomfort. Severe pain shot through her, and a cry escaped her lips. Tears burned her eyes, and her lower lip trembled. She collapsed on the sofa and sobbed.

Her tears kept falling because of the spasm, and she grabbed her knee, groaning. Keith took her calf and rubbed it some more, and Cathryn felt the pain gradually lessen. Then she looked up and casually wiped her tears from her cheeks. Looking at Keith, she wanted to move, but Keith stopped her.

“Let me rub it for a bit longer,” Keith said softly. He caressed her leg and her foot until the pain went away. When she completely felt comfortable, she moved her toes, and then Keith loosened her leg and sat at her feet.

“Thank you,” Cathryn said gratefully as she looked up at the clock on the wall and asked. “When did you get back?”

She didn’t seem to blush or feel embarrassed, so it was evident that she was not aware of what he had just done.

Keith was relieved as he took out a tissue to wipe away her tears and replied with a smile, “I just got back. Why don’t you go to your bedroom and get some sleep?”

At the mention of this, Cathryn immediately remembered and winked at Keith in a naughty way, “I have some good news to tell you.”

Grabbing Keith’s wrist excitedly, Cathryn told him, “I’ve passed the audition. I’ll be going to Well City to shoot a movie.”

Keith genuinely felt happy for her, but he just said quietly, “Congratulations!”

Well, City was a city adjacent to Douglas City, and it was not very far from home. It only takes three hours to get there by plane. It was to the North of their hometown, and the weather there was colder than at home.

A few days ago, the weather forecast had reported that there would be a cold current sweeping over Well City in the next few days. Keith was worried about Cathryn when he heard where she was going. Not seeing Keith as happy as she had expected, Cathryn immediately starts to feel sad.

Looking at Keith, she asked, “Do you mind me going to shoot the movie?”

“No.” Keith said, “You have severe morning sickness. I’m worried that your body may not be able to handle it. If permitted, I want you to take Catherine with you, and besides, I’ll arrange for a dietitian to take care of you.”

“Ha-ha!” She was amused by his words, swinging her shins and saying, “I can’t afford to pay them. I’ll take good care of our baby, you can be sure of that!”

He wanted to insist, but seeing her so happy, he didn’t mention it anymore. In fact, Cathryn really didn’t think it was necessary. Pregnant women usually had morning sickness, but they still insisted on giving birth to their children. Now she was just pregnant, but she was like a patient who had at least seven or eight people taking care of her.

“When are you leaving?” Keith lifted his wrist as he looked at the watch and said, “Is it okay if I take you to the airport.”

“Yes, of course. I will be leaving on Wednesday,” replied Cathryn. She did not want to trouble him anymore and wanted to refuse to be accompanied by Catherine and a dietitian. She was too embarrassed and nodded in agreement.

After saying goodnight to each other, they went back to their bedrooms. Cathryn limped towards the bedroom as her calf was still a bit sore. Keith immediately stood up and took her hand for support, and helped her to her bedroom.

Cathryn was standing in the doorway, holding the door as Keith said goodnight to her. He was about to go back to his room, and just as he had turned around, Cathryn suddenly grabbed his shirt. He was surprised by her gesture and looked back at her in surprise. She was looking up at him with a layer of mist in her beautiful eyes.

“I only have four scenes to shoot, and it will take me at most a week to finish. When I am finished shooting, is it okay if I can and get you to pick me up?” Asked Cathryn. She knew he was worried about her, and she wanted to give him some reassurance.

Keith’s heart softened, he nodded with a smile and replied, “Of course, there is nothing that I would like more.”

Right before her trip, she was notified that Jordan and Athena would be on the same flight as her to Well City and that there would be a bus waiting for them at the airport. Cathryn informed Keith of the uncomfortable situation, and his solution was that he could drive Cathryn. In the end, she decided that she would go to the economy to avoid seeing Jordan and Athena.

Cathryn’s flight was leaving at noon, so Keith said he would be back to her to take her to the airport. Keith was at work and was getting ready to head back to Flower Island.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Jeremy could see that Keith was in a hurry, Jeremy joked, “It has been two months. When will you introduce your girlfriend to me?”

“She’s not my girlfriend yet,” Keith said with a serious expression on his face.

Jeremy’s mouth widened, and he stared at him in disbelief, “You two have been living together for two months now. You can’t tell me that you haven’t had sex with her yet?”

Jeremy was a playboy and was always going to the nightclub. As long as a woman was interested in him, he would immediately sleep with her.
