CEO’s Romantic Affair

Morgan immediately hung up the phone without waiting for Cathryn to reply. Cathryn was shocked and just sat there with a blank look on her face. What he had said was like a massive bomb that exploded in Cathryn’s head. With her head spinning, she suddenly felt nauseated, and then she ran to the bathroom and was sick again.

After she was finished, she still felt dizzy. She was sitting on the floor with her arms wrapped around the toilet, and suddenly she screamed excitedly. Catherine was downstairs and could hear Cathryn, and she immediately came up with a glass of water. When she entered the room, she was shocked to see Cathryn on the floor, and she instantly helped her up.

“Where is Keith?” Cathryn asked with her eyes shining like stars. Cathryn was overly excited and took Catherine by the hand, pacing back and forth. She wanted to share the good news with him.

“Mr. Clarkson has already gone to work.” Seeing Cathryn so happy, Catherine also felt pleased and asked, “Do you want me to call Mr. Clarkson for you?”

“No!” Cathryn blurted out. Even though she felt a bit disappointed that she couldn’t share the news with him, she wanted to tell him the news face to face. Cathryn didn’t eat a lot at breakfast. She drank some fresh apple juice that Catherine had made for her and went to the computer to read the screenplay.

She spent all morning studying the screenplay. Her morning sickness made her afraid to overeat, and she seemed to get very tired quickly. Usually, in the afternoons, she would have a nap, but after lunch, she got dressed and went to the Crown State Building.

Catherine asked Jack to drive Cathryn to the Crown State Building. The building was located in the Eastern District of Douglas City, and after Jack dropped her off, she told him to go back to the house and wait for her to call him when she was finished. Driving such a luxurious car was too conspicuous, and Cathryn was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

Cathryn took the elevator to room 209 and then was led into the waiting room by the receptionist. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves. When the receptionist informed Cathryn that it was her turn, she started to feel even more nervous and was unable to concentrate.

She managed to pull herself together and gathered up the courage, and walked into the room. Her head was lowered when she entered the room, and when she looked up, Jordan was sitting beside the director.

She suddenly felt overwhelmed by her emotions. The new film was directed by Sampson Wilson, who was a well-known director. He was an amiable, polite man and always had a smile on his face. Cathryn introduced herself, and Sampson quickly asked her to start auditioning.

Even though Cathryn kept wondering why Jordan was there, she still managed to stay professional and make full use of her ability at the audition. Just as soon as she finished, Jordan suddenly slammed the screenplay on the desk and roared, “This is horrible acting!” He said with firmness in his voice, and he glared at her. Jordan ruthlessly continued to criticize her performance.

The two of them were talking so fast that Cathryn couldn’t keep up with them and was unable to focus. It wasn’t until she heard Jordan say that she wasn’t qualified for the part that she quickly turned her head to look at him.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Sampson was confused because she was recommended to him by Jordan. He wondered, “She came strongly recommended by Jordan, and now he is criticizing her ability? So, is there something between them? Maybe it’s a love-hate relationship?”

Jordan belonged to the company and was one of the biggest investors in the film. There was no way that Sampson could disagree with him. He looked up at Cathryn with a confused look on his face, “Take it easy. Your performance wasn’t too bad.” Sampson said softly, trying to comfort Cathryn. Then he put his hand on Jordan’s arm, smiled, and said, “Don’t be so angry with the newbie, Jordan. It’s almost time for supper. Would you like to have dinner with us, Miss Riley?”

Cathryn was unwilling to have dinner with Jordan, but she suddenly remembered her determination, so she accepted the invitation. Sampson seemed to have a good impression of her. The power of a director could never be overwhelmed by a protagonist in the cast crew.

The dinner was at the Hard Rock Cafe. Along with the actresses who had auditioned ahead of her, Cathryn went to dinner with the production team. Hard Rock Cafe was on the third floor of the Crown State Building. When Cathryn took the elevator upstairs, she managed to call Keith. She told him that she wouldn’t be home for dinner and that she would be having something to eat while she was at work.

Keith asked her why and Cathryn wouldn’t tell him. If Sampson were making the final decision, she might have a chance to get the part. However, she was afraid that if Jordan placed obstacles in the way, she would be unable to get the role. Therefore she would feel ashamed and not be able to face Keith.

That was the reason why she was unwilling to tell him. He no longer continued to ask her. He was a little worried that it would be unsafe for Cathryn to go home alone. So, Keith said he would come to pick her up when the dinner was over. Then, Cathryn pressed the button on her wristband and sent her position to Keith.

The dinner party was like a wrap-up party. Cathryn had never been qualified to attend one before. After attending this dinner party, she found eating and socializing with the directors and other actors and actresses difficult. Because of her morning sickness, Cathryn still didn’t eat much. Cathryn discreetly drank water and ate only the vegetables on her plate as she watched the actresses and actors toasting to Sampson one by one.
