CEO’s Romantic Affair

Grace pulled Cathryn and walked towards the cashier, leaving the woman with a dumbfounded look on their faces. When Grace arrived at the counter, she lied to the cashier and calmly said, “Those are my friends over there, and they said they would pay our bill.”

The Cashier took a look at Grace, nodded with a smile, and said, “We still need to check with them first.”

She smiled and pointed to the car outside the door and said, “My friend drives an expensive car. Do you really think that we don’t have any money to pay the bill?”

“I don’t mean that.” The Cashier, who didn’t dare to offend Grace, quickly smiled and said, “Thanks for coming, take care.”

How dare those women to talk unpleasantly in front of Cathryn! Letting them pay the bill was a way of apologizing to Cathryn. Grace thought in her heart. Although Grace sneered in her heart, she still waved to those young women with a smile, she then pulled Cathryn and walked out of the door.

When the two of them left the coffee shop, Jack, the driver, was at the door waiting for them. He had already opened the car door and waited for Cathryn to get in with a polite smile.

Cathryn still thought that she might have taken someone else’s room, so now she really didn’t want to have the driver drive her around in this expensive car. She told Jack to go home without her, and she held Grace’s hand. They walked to a nearby bus station.

The coffee house was very remote and affordable, and it was separated from the nearest bus station by a demolition zone. When they were walking along the demolition zone, Cathryn no longer kept contemplating. Instead, she tightly held Grace’s hand, stepping forward carefully. This situation had utterly absorbed her.

“You bitch! How dare you seduce my husband!”

“Help, someone, help me! don’t know your husband!”

As they walked through the demolition zone, they were just about at the bus station when they saw several strong women huddling together and dragging a young girl. They were scolding and beating her. The young girl’s hair was pulled, and her face was already swollen from being hit.

Cathryn was already tense when she heard the sound of dispute. She saw the chaotic scene of a struggle, she could no longer control her actions. Her lower lip was shivering, Cathryn blanked out and ran towards the women.

“Cathryn!” Grace screamed, and then she immediately ran after Cathryn in panic.

Stopping in front of the women, Cathryn grabbed the woman, who was two times taller than her, and shouted, “Let go of her! I’ve already called the police!” Cathryn was not strong, but her words were very intimidating. The women paused for a moment, but they immediately came to their senses and then gave Cathryn a push, making her fall to the ground with a loud crack coming from her wrist.

Grace pulled Cathryn up from the ground at once. However, Cathryn, whose face was pale, continued to go after them as soon as she stood up. She kept shouting, “call the police.” Grace tried, but she could not stop her.

Seeing the situation become more and more chaotic, a few people nearby came over to stop them from fighting, while Jack, who had not driven very far, also ran over and tried to stop Cathryn when he heard the commotion.

The women took a look at the crowd staring at them and then dragged the beaten girl and ran away. Seeing that, Cathryn immediately screamed, “Don’t let them take the girl.”

More and more people were gathering, and someone had called the police, so the women had no choice but to leave the beaten girl behind and run away hastily.

Seeing the young girl had been saved, Grace held Cathryn in her arms. “It’s okay, she is safe now,” Grace said, trying to console Cathryn. Cathryn was in tears, crying hysterically with her whole body trembling.

The policemen took Grace and Cathryn to the police station because they were involved in the incident. They had to make a statement about what had happened. The parents of the young girl also came to the police station and were also making a statement.

In fact, the young girl didn’t even know those women. Later on, Grace and Cathryn were told that the women that were trying to take the girl were traffickers. All Cathryn could think was that if she hadn’t helped her today, she would have been taken away and sold or used for sex.

Cathryn was the type of person who, when someone needed help, she would be the first one there. Grace knew what Cathryn was like, but she was still scared to death. Cathryn sat down on the seat and lowered her head.

Grace could not help it, but she started scolding her, “Are you crazy? How could you just rush right over to them? What if you had gotten hurt? What if you had a miscarriage?”

After arriving at the police station, Cathryn’s head had been buzzing the whole time. There was no feeling in her body. She was cold and numb. The memory that she had been unwilling to face was hidden deep in her heart. It’s now swarmed into her mind again.

Slowly raising her head, Cathryn looked at Grace, who was standing in front of her, and said with tears rolling in her eyes, “If there had been a stranger like me when it happened to you…” She couldn’t get any more words out.

Cathryn’s words were like a massive punch hitting Grace in her heart, making Grace, who was strong and had been Cathryn’s protector, feel a sharp pain in her heart. Feebly bending her knees, Grace squatted on the ground instantaneously. Stretching out to hold Cathryn in her arms, Grace clenched her teeth without saying anything.

Meanwhile, Keith, who rushed to the police station from the conference room as soon as he received a call from Jack, was standing outside the door. Keith breathed rapidly and shallowly because he ran the whole way there. He was about to call Cathryn’s name, but he didn’t when he heard Cathryn’s words.
