CEO’s Romantic Affair

Hearing Jordan’s words, Athena was speechless, and Cathryn also fell into silence. In fact, after having just gone through such a terrible ordeal, Cathryn preferred to go back to the hotel and go to bed. There she could patiently wait for Keith to come.

Jordan kept pestering her, making her even more eager to see Keith. Keith would never force her to do anything she didn’t want to. After a while, they drove to the area near the hotel. Sitting up straight, Cathryn looked out the window at a row of restaurants. She pointed to one of them and said to Jason, “Please stop in front of that restaurant, Jason.”

The restaurant was a fast-food restaurant, and as soon as they walked in, the owner immediately caught sight of Jordan. “Mr. Riggs, what a surprise. I’m so pleased to see you. You have perfect timing as there are only a few people in my restaurant now. Let me take you to the second floor. It’s a little more private for you up there,” The owner said.

Several waiters took out their cell phones and took pictures of Jordan, but after being scolded by the owner, they quickly put their cell phones in their pockets. Although it was only a fast-food restaurant, the walls on the second floor featured elegant decorations and beautiful designs, which were full of the local characteristics.

Entering the second floor, there was a menu placed on the table. After sitting down, Cathryn picked up the menu and asked Jordan, “What would you like to eat?”

“Did you deliberately choose the cheapest restaurant here?” asked Jordan. He clearly knew what Cathryn was thinking and laid out her thoughts without mercy.

Cathryn poured a glass of water, drank a sip, and calmly replied, “If we had gone to another restaurant, I’m afraid you would have taken my whole paycheck.”

Jordan sneered and said, “Last time, you paid the large liquidated damages without batting an eye. So why should you care about the payment of a meal?”

Seeing the two of them quarrel again, Athena wanted to turn this place into her own home court and hurried to interrupt, “Since Cathryn is my predecessor, the meal is on me.”

“No!” Cathryn and Jordan said in unison, simultaneously looking at Athena, and one was angry while the other was disgruntled.

Athena suddenly trembled in fear. Jason quickly poured a glass of water for her and whispered in her ear, “It’s better if you don’t get involved. Believe me, you will only be humiliated.”

“Please don’t call me your predecessor anymore, Miss White,” said Cathryn. When Cathryn heard Athena call her ‘predecessor,’ she would recall the events of the day, she saw Jordan propose to Athena. It was obvious that Athena knew this, and she still took advantage of it, trying to make Cathryn miserable.

“I’m only twenty-two years old, and I began my entertainment career later than you did. So I can call you my predecessor, isn’t it within reason?” Athena replied with a sarcastic tone. Hearing her words, Cathryn, who was twenty-five years old, didn’t respond anymore.

Soon after they finished ordering, the waiter brought the food out. To stay slim, Athena ate very little and kept busy serving Jordan. Picking up the hamburger, Athena glanced at the vegetables inside it. Then she grabbed the burger out of Jordan’s hands before Jordan could take a bite and said to the waiter, “Please give me another hamburger. Jordan doesn’t like onions.”

The waiter was a boy who was around seventeen or eighteen years old. He was captivated by Athena. As soon as she spoke, the waiter immediately walked out of the room to inform the cook of Athena’s demand.

“You’ve been together with Jordan for two years. How could you not know he doesn’t like onions?” Athena asked Cathryn. Though Athena said it to Cathryn with a smile, she looked at Cathryn unfriendly. Then, putting the hamburger aside, she stirred the sauce on the spaghetti with the fork.

Athena was busy catering to Jordan, all he had to do was open his mouth. She pampered him, waiting on him hand and foot. They seemed devoted to each other and were openly affectionate. Cathryn looked at them, and she honestly thought they cared for one another.

In fact, the two of them were deliberately showing their affection in front of Cathryn in hopes of upsetting her. Cathryn had just been through a horrible experience, and watching them kiss and continuously fondling each other, she found herself thinking of Keith.

Athena had wanted to make Cathryn angry. But when Cathryn heard that Jordan didn’t want the hamburger because it had onions on it, Cathryn’s face immediately brightened up.

Then she picked up the burger, smiled, and said, “That’s great! I’m starving. I’ll eat it!”

Cathryn reached over and grabbed the hamburger. Athena had a confused look on her face and was speechless. Her attempts at trying to make Cathryn jealous didn’t seem to be working.

Cathryn was not in a good mood, but she knew precisely what Jordan and Athena were trying to do to her. So Athena still continued to flirt with Jordan in front of her, attempting to arouse Cathryn’s jealousy. Cathryn just ignored them and continued to eat the hamburger.

After she was finished eating, she stood up and went to the ladies’ room. The washroom was at the end of the corridor, and it was clean and hygienic inside. When Cathryn was about to wash their hands, she saw Athena checking her makeup in the mirror.

Athena’s makeup was so lightly applied that it looked as if she was wearing none at all, which made her look dazzlingly beautiful.

When Athena saw Cathryn coming out, she said, “I didn’t know you and Jordan were a couple before he proposed to me. So, I didn’t get involved in your marriage deliberately. You don’t have to hate me because, honestly, I had no idea.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Cathryn knew that Athena was waiting for her here intentionally. “It surprises me to hear you say this. You and Jordan flaunt yourselves in front of me all the time. You two seem very happy, so don’t know what you’re so concerned about?” Cathryn said.

“Don’t look at me that way. I just wanted to tell you that if you seduce Jordan when you know I’m his fiancée, it will give you an awful name. The gossip will spread like a plague. If I didn’t happen to be here with you and Jordan, do you know what the media would say about it tomorrow?” Athena said.
