CEO’s Romantic Affair

The director was calling indeed. Cathryn glanced at him and smiled an apology to Keith. She hung up the phone and got up to the camera.

They had been working peacefully for more than a week, and Jordan had not given her a hard time. She almost believed that he had found his conscience again, but his voice just blasted it.

In the scene, Cathryn was running after Jordan, and he was supposed to get impatient and turn back to her, trying to explain. But on the contrary, he deliberately stopped without turning, and Cathryn paused abruptly and slammed into his back. She felt her foot twisted, and a strained pain came up from her ankle. She almost fell down.

“What happened?” The director only saw them both stopped at the same time, and Cathryn held onto his arm, her face pale and sweaty.

Before Cathryn could speak, Jordan picked her up suddenly and told the set, “Miss Riley’s broken her foot. I’m taking her to the doctor.”

In the shooting area, they hired a few doctors and put up a small infirmary.

They were not very close to the infirmary, though. And Jordan started stranding towards the medication, holding her, regardless of the whole team’s staring at them.

Cathryn struggled to get down from him, thinking that he was purely sick. Jane quickly came and took her arms. “No need to bother, Mr. Riggs, I will take care of Cathryn.”

Jordan hastily answered, “It was my fault. I’m going with you.”

And then he ignored Cathryn’s behavior and the crew’s shocked eyes, picked her up again, and got her in his car.

She didn’t dare to struggle too much, worrying for the baby and that Jordan might notice her pregnancy. She could but verbally yell to her ex-husband, who turned a deaf ear, put her seat belt on, and drove away.

The photo of Jordan Riggs holding actress Cathryn Riley onto his personal car soon went viral. Miss Athena Green hadn’t got much time with her fiancé recently, and their romance had gradually faded. Instead, no news of marriage had been heard since their engagement, there were constant rumors about their split.

Cathryn, an actress who had been in the headlines with Jordan not so long ago, was quickly found out by the media to be the beauty whom he had saved last time. And there was an “inside source” saying that Cathryn was cast for the role without an audition but was appointed by Jordan Riggs himself.

The rumors about the leading man and the second actress were spreading; someone even claimed they had seen them in the City Hall together to register their marriage.

Jordan was trying to make big news. He wanted Cathryn to be tied with him.

This news had attracted everyone, Keith arrived in the city the next day; at the same time, Miss Athena Green paused her work to visit her fiancé.

Cathryn had a sprained ankle and was put in the ward for treatment. Her ankles were swollen, and her forehead was sweaty from the pain. She looked at her side and sweated a little more when she saw her leading man insisted on taking care of her.

“As I have told you before, Mr. Riggs, I got it here to take care of her. No need for you to worry,” Jane complained while frowning at the sticking-around visitor.

“And I have told you too, it was my fault that Miss Riley was injured. I am fully responsible.” He replied, ignoring Jane.

“Then go to pay for the medical expenses. What are you doing here?” Cathryn demanded.

“Taking care of you,” He answered in confidence.

Cathryn just stared at him blankly and was lost for words.

The infirmary was small without a separate ward, and Jordan had paid for the doctor to vacate one. He had asked for a standard room with an empty bed next to Cathryn’s. Jordan started pacing, he patrolled the small room and lifted his bottom to lean on it.

He made his posture that he’d not leave any time soon.

Cathryn’s face was flushed with fury. Just as she was biting her own teeth, the doorknob clicked, and a man came in from the door.

“We appreciate it that Mr. Riggs should be so kind. But it is not appropriate for a man like you, after all. Why don’t you let me take the job?”

Cathryn loosened her mouth and looked at the new guest. His long body slid in with a soft gentleness, his facial features delicate like an angel. She felt a warm stream of honey flowing in her heart, her eyes lit up as she called his name.

“Keith!”

The bossy look on Jordan’s face disappeared, and he sat up from the bed.

Keith had just declared his control. He sounded full of courtesy, but his words were all but defiance to Jordan’s place: “you have no relationship with her here, it’s inappropriate for you to be here, please leave. At the same time, I am perfectly legit to be here because she wants me to.”

This was a sheer provocation to the actor.

When he opened his mouth, ready to fight back for his sovereignty here, the doorknob squeaked again.

Miss Green had just left from an event, she was in a radiant dress and makeup and a diamond necklace shining on her neck, looking regal and prime.

But in the hand of this glorious movie star was a thermos lunchbox in a matching thermos bag.

Her fame was well-matched with her skill. She was apparently surprised to see everyone in the room, but she quickly laughed merrily and looked at Cathryn apologetically, and walked over.

“Miss Riley! I hope you are alright?”

Jane turned her head to Cathryn’s trotter-like ankle, wondering if this superstar was blind.

Athena ignored the assistant’s eyes but went straight to the bed and placed the thermos lunchbox on the small desk. Her face was full of fake sorry and worry.

“I’m so sorry that Jordan did this! I was coming here to visit him, but I heard what happened to you, so I came early. I made this braised chicken for Jordan, but I think I should give it to you instead! I mean, if you don’t mind. Just take it as an apology from me.”
