CEO’s Romantic Affair

Cathryn smiled and was so excited for Jane to hear how happy she sounded. There was nothing she wanted more than for Jane to meet someone and have some happiness in her life finally.

“I’m truly sorry, Cathryn, I was looking forward to going with you,” Jane said, feeling a bit disappointed.

Cathryn pouted and replied, “I know how important your work is, and that should be your first priority. I’m sure you could use the money.”

“Yes, I can. Must be nice that you don’t have to work and you still have lots of money,” Jane retorted.

“Do you remember the painting in your bedroom? When you move out of Keith’s, take the painting with you. It’s worth a lot of money!” Jane jokingly said.

Amused by her words, Cathryn laughed and said, “I might as well marry Keith directly.”

“That sounds like a good idea,” Jane laughed.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Thinking the joke may have gone too far, Cathryn blushed and quickly said, “Don’t talk such nonsense. Hurry up and go pack your things. I have to go study for my exam.”

After hanging up the phone, Cathryn could feel her face getting hot from blushing. She immediately stood up and poured a glass of water. As Cathryn was taking a drink, she looked over and saw Keith standing at the entrance of the steps.

Not expecting Keith to be there, a mouthful of water spilled from her mouth. Cathryn was a little shocked and embarrassed. She quickly sat down in the chair and thought, ‘Oh my gosh! How long has he been there, and what did he hear? I just said that I should marry him!’

Thinking of all these things, Cathryn was speechless!

Taken aback, she could only stare at him, Keith smiled at her and asked, “Didn’t you say you were going to the cinema with Jane?”

Sensing that there was no hint of acknowledgment in Keith’s words, Cathryn knew he didn’t overhear the conversation and felt immensely relieved. Then she poured herself another glass of water, and after drinking it, she said in a disgruntled tone, “Jane has to go on a business trip. Capitalists will exploit work every opportunity they get.”

When Keith heard Cathryn’s words, his smile instantly froze on his face. Seeing the expression on his face, Cathryn immediately realized that she had said something wrong. Licking her lips, Cathryn grinned at Keith and nervously explained, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way.”

Though Cathryn felt nervous, she clearly knew that Keith wouldn’t be angry with her. “It was a joke. I’m just upset that Jane isn’t going with me tonight,” Cathryn explained. Keith looked at her tenderly without saying a word.

After getting along with Keith for such a long time, Cathryn could only see the bright side of Keith. She had never seen him lose his temper, which made Cathryn think Keith was a saint. He was always so patient and calm and never allowed anything to upset him.

“Would you mind treating me to a movie tonight?” Keith asked. He stared at Cathryn with a smile and expectation in his eyes, which were like a village covered in snow that reflected the bright moonlight. It was so bright and comforting it gave her great peace of mind.

Hearing Keith’s words, all of Cathryn’s displeasure was immediately swept away. Her eyes immediately brightened up, Cathryn smiled and replied, “Of course not! I would love to go with you.”

Cathryn looked down and realized she was still wearing her pajamas, she instantly blushed. Then she quickly stood up, smiled, and said to Keith, “I won’t be long. I just have to change my clothes.”

Cathryn went to her room and looked in her closet. In Cathryn’s mind, she attached great importance to going to the cinema with Keith for the first time. Since it was in the early spring and the weather was gradually getting warmer, Cathryn wore a thin pink sweater, a monochrome maxi skirt, and a pair of yellowish-brown boots. Then she carefully combed her hair.

Although her morning sickness seemed to have improved, the quality of her sleep was not good, so Cathryn’s face was always very pale. Therefore, she put powder on her face and applied a little blush, which helped add some color to her face. Cathryn looked at herself in the mirror.

Then she remembered something that she read in the pamphlet. “It said that when women become pregnant, they get what is called a pregnancy glow, and apparently the brightness on your face can indicate the sex of the baby.” Cathryn’s pale skin definitely had a glow to it, like the freshness from a summer day.

Then Cathryn put on a hat and finally walked out of the bedroom. Outside the door, Keith was sitting at a long table reading a book. As soon as he saw Cathryn come out, his eyes suddenly brightened up. Then he smiled at Cathryn, stood up, and said, “You look absolutely beautiful. Shall we go then?”

In the cinema, many couples were coming and going. Because it was the premiere of The Alert, there were some activities on the stage, such as the movie stars promoting the movie and so on. Cathryn was not famous enough to participate in such activities, but to her surprise, Alice was on the stage.

“Keith, look, remember I told you about Alice? She’s up on the stage!” Cathryn looked at him questioningly.

Cathryn noticed that Alice seemed slightly embarrassed and shy. When the host asked her questions, she was so nervous that it would take her a few seconds before she would respond. In the end, it was Sampson who helped her answer the questions.

Looking at the people on the stage, Cathryn unconsciously thought of Lucy. Then she fell into a state of profound melancholy. Sensing the change in Cathryn’s mood, Keith looked down at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Cathryn’s tickets were given by one of the film crew members, and their seats were a bit secluded. They were on the left side of the penultimate row of the cinema. Because it was the premiere of The Alert, many fans were coming over to support their favorite stars. Most of the people sitting in the back rows were young girls who were holding up signs. A few of them were mumbling about why Jordan and Athena hadn’t come.
