CEO’s Romantic Affair

Cathryn held Keith tightly, and the things that had happened between the two of them were all fermenting and swelling in this embrace. A handsome man and a charming woman are standing in the airport lounge. The tall man holding the short woman in his arms, like he was carrying a treasure, caught most people’s attention, stopping and watching this beautiful moment.

Time was limited, and Cathryn finally regained her strength after hearing the boarding announcement. Then her face and earlobes immediately turned red. Cathryn pushed Keith’s chest awkwardly and carefully touched his abdominal muscles intentionally and then whispered, “It’s time for me to get on the plane.”

Keith held her in his arms again and said, “I can’t wait to see you in twenty days, let me… let me embrace our baby for a little more.”

Hearing Keith’s words, Cathryn stiffened, and her mind was utterly blank. After winking her eyes, she felt a sense of loss in her heart while her body gradually regained its senses.

“Yeah, Keith embraced her only because he wanted to hug the baby. How could he be so reluctant to let her leave? After all, he didn’t love her.” Cathryn thought in her heart.

Cathryn’s heartbeat gradually went back to normal, but she unexpectedly felt numb. Keith had always been so kind to her, therefore, when it came to the baby, she had to try her best to cooperate with him no matter what she wanted.

Thinking of that, Cathryn forced herself to smile and said, “well, it’s time for me to go.” Cathryn patted Keith on the back with her hands. Keith leaned forward, making her touch his chest tightly. After the two of them hugged, Cathryn let go and started toward the boarding gate with her suitcase.

The scent of Keith’s body was unique and refreshing. Cathryn felt like he was still with her and that she was being held in his arms all the way to the plane.

After the flight, Cathryn got up and stretched, she left the airport and got in a taxi. Getting into the cab, Cathryn told the driver where she was going, and then she took out her cell phone and texted Keith to say to him that she had arrived safely.

Shortly after sending him a message, she received a reply from Keith, “So happy to hear from you. Text me after you get home, and I’ll tell you a secret.”

Looking at the message, Cathryn laughed out loud. Keith was worried about her safety but also afraid of holding her too tight, so this was his way of caring about her. She thought it was so considerate.

“You look so happy, Miss. Are you chatting with your boyfriend?” The driver asked Cathryn with a smile.

“No, just a friend,” Cathryn replied quickly.

Then feeling very comfortable with the driver, they began to talk. After arriving at her parents’ home, Cathryn paid the fare and took her luggage out of the taxi. Standing at the door, Cathryn knocked immediately. She could hear her father’s voice and his footsteps coming from inside the house. By the time the door opened, Mr. Riley’s face immediately appeared in front of her.

“Welcome back, my sweetheart,” he said and smiled.

“Daddy, I missed you so much,” said Cathryn, giving her father a big hug.

Then he helped her carry the suitcase into the house. Cathryn took him by the hand and walked into the house with a smile.

Looking around the house, Cathryn asked, “Where is my mom, dad?”.

Carrying her suitcase into her bedroom, Cathryn saw her mother making the bed for her. However, Mrs. Riley just raised her head, glanced at Cathryn, and said indifferently, “You’re back.”

Mr. Riley was an optimistic and lively person, while Mrs. Riley was a serious and quiet person. Although Mrs. Riley had a gentle and charming personality, she had a strong and resolute character. She was the one with all the power in their family.

Cathryn and her father were just like friends, but this was only limited to pre-adolescence. After puberty, there were certain things that she couldn’t seek advice from her father.

However, when Cathryn carefully turned to her mother for these things, her mother just taught her how to deal with them. There was never any need for concern, or so her mother thought. It wasn’t because Mrs. Riley didn’t care about her. She just cared about Cathryn in other aspects.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Riley had always been against Cathryn being an actress, and she thought Cathryn was not suitable for survival in the entertainment world because of her character. Instead, Mrs. Riley thought it was better for Cathryn to be a teacher so that she would have a steady income and would be able to provide for herself.

Cathryn nodded and looked up at the books on her desk. Mrs. Riley followed her line of sight and said, “These are the reference books for the exam on how to get a Teacher’s Certificate. Albert has gotten the Teacher Certificate, so I borrowed these from him. You should study hard and try your best to pass the exam this time.”

With the mentioning of Albert, Cathryn became excited again. Ignoring her mother’s words, she asked, “Is Albert back yet?”

Albert lived on the upper floor of Cathryn’s house. He and Cathryn had played together and gone to school together since they were children. Both of them had gotten good grades at school. Making their parents very angry, one chose acting, and the other chose fine arts.

Albert went on to study for a master’s degree after he graduated from college, and he was going to graduate next year. During this period before his graduation, he went to another city to volunteer. The reception was not good there, so the two of them very seldom talked to one another.

Cathryn considered Albert as her best friend except for Grace, so when she heard the news that he was back, she immediately rushed out of her bedroom and was going to go upstairs to visit him.

“Hey! Albert isn’t here.” Mr. Riley pulled Cathryn back, smiling, “He said there was still a lot of work to be done. He just left yesterday.”
