CEO’s Romantic Affair

“Nothing, It’s just a little stuffy in here,” Cathryn looked over at Keith, smiled, and replied.

“Let’s go outside and get some fresh air,” Keith said, and he immediately stood up. Cathryn wanted to remain in her seat, but suddenly a succession of screams attracted them from behind. They looked at the stage and saw Jordan and Athena standing there.

“Great, that’s just what I needed.” Cathryn felt more irritable. Then she stood up and tried to go out with Keith.

The young girls sitting in the row beside them seemed to be going crazy. They all crowded together, making it difficult for Cathryn to get past them. Keith didn’t say anything, he just reached out his hand.

Cathryn hesitated for a moment, and with Jordan’s voice ringing in her ears, she reached out to hold Keith’s hand. “Thank you, Keith. You really are my knight in shining armor.”

Keith’s palm was soft and warm, dispelling Cathryn’s irritability. Clenching Keith’s hand, Cathryn followed Keith out. “I’ll be right back. I’m just going over to get some popcorn and a bottle of water,” Keith told Cathryn. When he came back, they both sat in silence, with an occasional glance at one another.

Then Cathryn raised her head and looked at the people who were waiting for the movie to start. Suddenly, a young man caught her attention. The young man was dressed in a sports coat and looked to be about twenty-year-old. He was pointing his mobile phone at the poster of The Alert and taking pictures. Looking at it, he smiled with pride and excitement.

Cathryn suddenly thought of her past with Jordan when looking at the young man. ‘A year ago, just like this young man, I went to see a movie that Jordan starred in. The man on the poster had been so handsome and charming. I remember there being countless people around me talking about his attractive appearance and excellent acting, which made me feel so proud and pleased that such a man had belonged to me. But now, all that has changed.’

Just as Cathryn was immersed in the memories, her right hand was suddenly held by Keith. She was instantly brought back to reality. She gazed up at him, completely disarmed by his smile. The sight of him took her breath away.

Keith was dressed in a well-tailored suit. He had perfect features. His eyes were captivating, by far the most attractive feature of his darkly handsome face. Cathryn thought he was a remarkable person. Such a man, if he had entered the entertainment circle, he would undoubtedly have caused a greater sensation than Jordan.

Keith looked straight into Cathryn’s eyes. A rush of excitement sent color to her cheeks, and she tore her gaze from his. All she could hear was the pounding of her heart. Cathryn hoped Keith could not feel the rush of heat that invaded her body.

“The movie is about to start. Shall we go in?” Keith softly said to Cathryn.

Looking at Keith and seeing the way he looked at her, Cathryn realized how lucky she was to have him in her life. ‘If I had never met Keith, my life would be so different. Chances are, I would still have a thing for Jordan. I can’t believe how I let Jordan treat me when I see how good Keith is to me,’ Cathryn couldn’t stop thinking about Keith and how he treated her.

Thinking of that, some unspeakable affections were breeding in Cathryn’s heart. But then she remembered what Keith said, and she immediately suppressed those feelings back into the bottom of her heart.

After the film started, the excitement in Cathryn’s heart totally erased the bad mood that preceded it. The young girls sitting behind them watched the movie while discussing Jordan’s performance in the film, as well as the scenes in which he played opposite Athena.

However, Cathryn just wanted to watch her own part. When the scene of the bus appeared, several people sitting behind Cathryn began to curse.

“That woman is such a bitch! She has no acting skills at all.”

“How dare she talk to people like that! What’s wrong with being a bus conductor?”

“The conductor is by far a better person than her!”

“Yes, what an awful woman. How dare she say those things!”

Instead of caring about the comments behind her, Cathryn continued to watch the film. She noticed that the final edition of the film seemed to be different than the script she had read. “Keith, they changed the script. This wasn’t how it was supposed to end?” Cathryn said questionably.

Because Cathryn’s complaint and the money given to the conductor were counterfeit, the conductor was unable to deal with all the pressure. She had returned home and tried to commit suicide, and a few days, she died. Her brother had been taken in by her son, but he was then sold to traffickers.

When Cathryn saw this scene, never in her life had she been so shocked – so entirely out of control. Questions started buzzing around in her head. She shook her head, trying to free herself from the thoughts.

Cathryn was so disgusted that she finally didn’t want to think about it any longer. At the same time, the young girls behind her got even angrier, and they kept swearing loudly. Hearing their words, Cathryn’s heart was beating more and more violently, which made her start feeling uncomfortable.

“Are there any more scenes of you in the rest of the film?” Keith asked.

Seeing Cathryn shake her head, Keith smiled and said, “Well then, it’s unnecessary for us to sit here and watch the rest of it. Let’s go home.”

Then, before Cathryn could say yes or no, she was immediately pulled out of the cinema by Keith. After walking into the hall, Keith let Cathryn sit down, handed her the water, and said, “Don’t listen to their rude comments. Their comments are only aimed at the character you played in the movie. You can regard their words as compliments of your acting.”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Taking the water from Keith’s hand, Cathryn took a mouthful of it. With the cold water sliding down into her stomach, an involuntary shudder passed over her. Then she looked up at Keith and found that his eyes were full of concern.

Slightly lowering her head, Cathryn looked down at her boots, smiled, and said, ” To be honest with you, I hated this role, and right from the beginning, I didn’t want to do it.”
