CEO’s Romantic Affair

Keith put forward the first four agreements on his own initiative, but as for the last one, even Cathryn thought it was unfair to him. However, after reading the agreement, Keith nodded without hesitation and signed it. To make the agreement legally effective, Keith even provided a copy of his passport and printed his handprint on the agreement.

It was like a dream. It was all happening so fast. Keith signed the agreement, and it meant that the two of them would be living together. When Keith looked up at Cathryn with his handsome smile, he asked her what kind of cake she wanted next time.

Cathryn didn’t forget, hastily saying, “A green tea cake.”

After signing the agreement, Keith did not seem dissatisfied but rather pleased.

“Well, then I’ll bring my luggage here tomorrow,” Keith replied. Cathryn looked up at him, her eyes were clear and bright. Keith could see the look of satisfaction and relief on Cathryn’s face. She knew this was an inevitable struggle.

Thinking about his relationship with Cathryn and that it was about to open a new Chapter, Keith was a bit excited. He could not help raising his hand and laying his broad palm on Cathryn’s head, rubbing her soft and smooth hair, and then when he turned to leave. He kissed her softly on her cheek.

After Keith did that, any apprehension that she had disappeared entirely, all she could think about was the temperature of his palm remaining on her hair and his soft lips touching her face. It felt warm and comfortable.

Cathryn felt a level of satisfaction. “Keith was such a gentle person, and he would not hurt her,” Cathryn thought. Grace, who saw everything, smiled unconsciously.

Grace had to work the next day, so she said goodbye to Cathryn and went on her way. Cathryn was now alone at home. She was so bored that she played with the video surveillance for a while and then ate two mouthfuls of cake.

Cathryn was just about to go to bed when her phone rang. It was Morgan. Cathryn wondered why he was calling her, did he have a change of heart? She was frightened and yet excited. She quickly answered the phone.

Morgan doesn’t ask how she is, all he says is, “There is work at the engagement party for Athena and Jordan. They are inviting you to dance.”

Cathryn’s heart seemed heavy. What was she going to do?

****

The news of Jordan proposing to Athena at the countdown party of PGTV had been occupying the entertainment headlines for several days, and it just recently happened. It is not only on the Internet, on television and in the newspapers, but everyone on the streets is talking about the news.

As for the news, the media took a firm stand this time. All articles compliment Jordan’s sense of responsibility and envying Athena. Everyone was giving them their blessing. Jordan, who is in the entertainment circle, was a superstar. It was just a matter of time before Athena became a more famous star. The love between them was so sweet that many people envied them.

They were admired and approved by many people because of how desirable the love between them was. No one knew how dirty and disgusting the truth was. How conniving and manipulative Jordan really was and how much their happiness had caused Cathryn to grieve.

Although Athena was a famous actress, her status in the entertainment circle was far less than Jordan’s. There was no doubt that the open proposal in front of the media would impact Jordan’s career.

At that time, he had told her that their marriage had to be kept a secret so it would not affect his career. How naive she was then.

“He seemed to really love Athena, didn’t he?” Cathryn wondered. Love really had the magic to let people blindly go forward without fear, even if they were severely battered. The magic did not exist in love between Cathryn and Jordan because he did not love her at all.

The more Cathryn thought about it, the more she could feel her heartache. Cathryn was not a masochist. She turned off her cell phone, did not look at her computer, and would not turn on the TV. She even decided she wasn’t going to buy any more newspapers. When it came to her meals, she just ordered takeout. She was utterly isolating herself from the outside world. All she wanted was never to hear anything about them again. However, it was only one-sided; Jordan’s revenge on her had only just begun.

Morgan’s tone was still as impatient and arrogant as before, which Cathryn was used to. The company that Cathryn worked for was a small company, and there were not many managers and way too many entertainers.

So the company’s resources were very few and widely scattered. Many of the entertainers were very shrewd and cunning and would use their bodies to get work. It didn’t matter who they hurt or who was in their way. They did what they had to do.

Needless to say, they slept their way to the top. Cathryn was not a promiscuous person. She never accompanied the leaders to go out for dinner or drinks, let alone have sex with them.

The way Cathryn looked at it was that if you weren’t wealthy and had no means of consciousness in the dangerous web of the entertainment world, you could never become famous.

Morgan had not been keeping the agreement of the management policy of finding auditions for Cathryn. Unless there was an event that the other entertainers were unwilling to participate in. He would never ask her to take part in any event. It was such a waste because of her charming demeanor and perfect figure. Cathryn would make a fantastic actress.

Jordan’s engagement party was a significant event in the entertainment circle, and the heat of the video of him proposing to Athena a few days ago had not been reduced. So any entertainer who attended his engagement party would skyrocket their position in the entertainment circle. Cathryn honestly didn’t care about this. She just did not want to put herself through any more grief.
