CEO’s Romantic Affair

Therefore, for an unknown star-like Cathryn, the woman’s attitude towards her was very rude. It was almost the end of her shift, and if she were to call the maintenance personnel to come, she wouldn’t get off work until the repairman had finished fixing the heater.

Just as the young lady had finished, Cathryn instantly became anxious. She looked at the lady frantically and said, “You said the same thing to me on the phone. It is freezing in my room now, and there is a cold current coming tonight. I can’t catch a cold.”

Cathryn’s determined attitude towards her goal made the lady become impatient and annoyed. The smile instantly fled from her face. She kept a serious look and very officially said, “We are willing to help but unable to do so at this moment, Miss. The repairman has gone home. I will ask one of the other staff members to give you some more quilts, okay?”

There was no way that Cathryn was going to agree with this lady. In fact, being covered with too many quilts made it hard for her to breathe, so it would be more likely that she would kick them off her at night. Back home at Flower Island, the indoor temperature was controlled by a heating system so it didn’t matter if Cathryn kicked them off. But tonight, if she were to kick the quilts off, she would definitely catch a cold.

When Cathryn was just about to refuse, the lady looked with a pleasant surprise at the man standing behind Cathryn and, with a sweet smile, asked, “What can do for you, Mr. Riggs?”

Cathryn’s body shivered subconsciously as she looked back. Jordan was standing behind her with a cold expression on his face. Cathryn thought it would be useless to say anymore, she walked away and took the elevator upstairs. She was going to wait until after Jordan left, and then she would go back and ask them again.

It was evident that Cathryn was intentionally hiding from Jordan, which made him even more agitated. It had only been two months since they had gotten a divorce, but everything between Cathryn and him had changed entirely. He wanted to make Cathryn miserable, but she had a new boyfriend in her life. She didn’t love Jordan anymore, and as a man, nothing could make Jordan feel more frustrated than that.

Jordan never forgot Cathryn, and there were times lately when he would find himself missing her. He defined it as the fighting will that was aroused by his frustration. He wanted her to fall in love with him again, and then he would mercilessly ditch her as he did before.

But the question remained, would he be able to get her to fall in love with him again? She had a boyfriend now, so he had to be discreet. This was the thing that he was most uncertain about as he always had such great belief in himself.

Cathryn had already taken the elevator upstairs, and Jordan turned his head, looked at the lady at the front desk with cold eyes, and said, “The heater in her room is broken. Ask the repairman to come and fix it right away!”

Jordan was one of the honored guests at the hotel, and the staff didn’t want to treat him with disregard, so they immediately called the repairman. The repairman rushed to Jordan’s room as soon as he arrived.

He climbed on all fours and peered inside the heater before grabbing the remote and changing the batteries. “Dead,” he said, throwing the remote to Jason. “They’re spares in the drawer.”

“Thank you. So much!” said Jason. “And, while you’re here, I heard room 708 is broken as well.”

Jordan had struggled to keep a straight face the whole time the repairman entered the room. The repairman immediately picked up his toolkit and headed for Cathryn’s room on hearing Jason’s words.

Alice told her that someone had just come over and brought her some dinner when Cathryn returned to the room.

Cathryn noticed the vegetable soup, her favorite, and was reminded of seeing Jordan and Jason earlier in the hotel lobby.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

‘What exactly did Jordan want to do?’ Cathryn wondered. This question had been lingering in her mind for a long time; usually it was only when Jordan did something she couldn’t understand. There was no need to worry about him; she had her own problems. Then she quickly dismissed the idea and immediately tried to forget about it.

Just as Cathryn had opened the screenplay, there was a knock on the door. Cathryn thought it was one of the hotel staff coming over to give her quilts, but after she opened the door, she found that it was the front-desk clerk standing outside the door with the repairman.

“Is the heater in your room broken?” Asked the front desk clerk in an angry voice.

Cathryn could see she was still upset with her.

“Yes, it is,” Cathryn replied.

After receiving her answer, the desk clerk stepped inside and then watched the repairman fix the heater. The repairman was a middle-aged man in his forties and was an affable and approachable person.

The heater was relatively new and only had some minor problems, so all it needed was a good cleaning, and it would soon be working again.

Cathryn expressed her appreciation to the repairman, and he said, “You’re welcome. It’s my job. Are there any other problems? If not, then I am going for dinner.”

It was already past supper time now, Cathryn felt guilty for making the repairman miss his dinner. Thinking of the dinner that Jason had given her, Cathryn gave it to the repairman. The name of the restaurant was printed on the to-go box, and the repairman remembered the meals being expensive in that restaurant.

Therefore, he gratefully declined, “But thank you,” he added and tipped his cap.

“Please do,” she insisted, pushing the box into his chest. “It would mean the world to me if you did.”

Then he finally accepted it. Alice was extremely relieved after the heater was fixed and couldn’t wait to call her boyfriend to share the good news.

When Alice talked with her boyfriend on the phone, Cathryn could hear by Alice’s tone that she was very much in love. She was filled with sweetness and joy.
