CEO’s Romantic Affair

Cathryn thought of what Jordan had said to her, as well as the other ways that Jordan tried to get her to play this role, so she guessed that there were some correlations between the two things. Then Cathryn said, “Keith, I don’t know why this bothers me so much. I know you said it’s only acting, but I can’t shake the feeling that everyone hates me.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Don’t,” before Keith could finish his sentence, someone called out Cathryn’s name.

“Cathryn!” Suddenly, a female voice called her name excitedly. It pulled Cathryn out of her uneasiness. Cathryn looked up and saw Alice grinning and walking up to her with a young man, hand in hand.

After Cathryn looked carefully, she found the young man standing beside Alice was the one who was taking pictures of the poster. His eyes kindled while he came to a step nearer. Then a tender smile crept to his lips.

Cathryn nodded to the young man with a smile and asked Alice, “Why did you come out before the end of the film?”

“Didn’t you do the same thing as me?” Alice replied as she carefully looked Keith up and down while speaking. Looking at Keith’s handsome face, she was utterly captivated.

However, it made the young man standing next to her a bit displeased. Then the young man slightly pulled her hand to bring her back to reality. But instead of being ashamed, Alice still continued to stare at Keith and said, “Your boyfriend is so handsome, Cathryn!”

“Nice to meet you,” said Keith politely. Then Keith reached out and shook Alice’s boyfriend’s hand. Cathryn was surprised because Alice kept giving Keith the eye. Keith became uncomfortably aware that she was intensely staring at him.

For some reason, Alice admired Keith and blurted out, “Cathryn, you are a very lucky woman. He is so handsome. He is so gentle in manner, and his style is so elegant. I believe you and Keith are a perfect match!”

Cathryn and Keith looked at each other, shocked by the things Alice was saying. Immediately Cathryn’s face was flushed with embarrassment, and her heart started racing. She quickly tried to change the topic and said, “Ah, Alice. So why..”

“Oh, Cathryn. There’s no need to be so shy!” Alice said as she interrupted her.

Then she asked, “Is he the one who you were talking to every day when we were shooting the film in Well City?”

“Yes…” Cathryn replied, then she stopped and lowered her head slightly. She could feel her face heating up as she stared at the ground.

“Oh my, there’s no need to hide it from me. If you don’t want anyone to know, I won’t say a word. Your secret’s safe with me! As an actress, I completely understand why,” Alice said with a sigh. Cathryn clearly knew that Alice wouldn’t listen to her explanation, so she didn’t say anything more.

The four of them were standing in front of the door of the cinema, and soon the show was over, and everyone started coming out of the building. So Keith quickly looked around to find a convenient place for them to talk. “It’s getting a little crowded over here. We should go over there and talk.”

Kei stretched out his hand and pointed to a secluded corner, and then the four of them went over.

Unexpectedly before they had a chance to say a word, they suddenly heard a conversation between Sampson and Jordan. They were standing inside the building, but the door was slightly open. The door was only used by the movie stars who came over to attend the premieres. All that they could hear was the sound of footsteps and voices.

Sampson walked over to the door, and he immediately saw them standing there. Jordan was behind him, and he glanced over and saw Cathryn and Keith. Jordan looked cold and watched Cathryn like a hawk as if waiting for some kind of reaction. She was panic-stricken and could not look at Jordan without trembling. Keith, who was standing beside her, took her hand and held it tightly. Being comforted by Keith, Cathryn gradually calmed down.

Athena was also there with Jordan and Sampson. She had only seen Keith once, and that was at the airport. There were so many reporters at the time, so she didn’t see Keith’s face clearly. This time Athena looked at Keith very carefully, and her face suddenly lit up, and a rush of jealousy swept through her.

“Is that Keith? He is so handsome. I never expected Cathryn to find such a good-looking man.” Athena muttered under her breath. If she had said it out, it most definitely would have caused an argument.

Sampson noticed that Alice was standing beside them, and he walked over to her and asked, “Are you going to leave with us?”

“No, I would like to stay a little longer with Bennett,” Alice replied. Then Bennett reached over and kindly shook hands with Sampson. Sampson glanced nervously at his watch. Then he nodded with a smile and quickly turned around and walked away. Then, Jordan, Athena, and several other actors followed him from behind.

Without saying a word, Cathryn looked at Sampson, then at Alice and Alice’s boyfriend. She couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled. Alice wasn’t aware of Cathryn’s confusion and said to her boyfriend, “It seems we can’t stay out late tonight. My dad looks concerned.”

Cathryn was obviously stunned at what Alice had just said. Looking at Cathryn, Alice burst into laughter and then approached Cathryn and said, “I am going to tell you two secrets. If that’s okay with you?”

“Yes, what are the secrets that you want to tell me?” Cathryn asked curiously.

“The first one is, do you know why you can’t become famous in the entertainment circle? Once my dad was drinking, and he told me that someone was deliberately holding me back from getting any good roles in dramas. To be honest with you, I think you’re an outstanding actress,” Alice said in a low voice.

Cathryn looked shaken up by what Alice told her. She began to rack her brains to remember anyone that she may have offended since she entered the entertainment circle. Cathryn wondered who she offended, ‘I don’t know who it could be. I kept to myself and never talked to anyone, but…’ Then she recalled there was something fishy about the two roles she auditioned for when she graduated from the school.
