CEO’s Romantic Affair

The only reason Jason said this was to explain to other people who were getting on the bus. Suppose he didn’t, then there would have been nothing but gossip throughout the drive back to the hotel. Cathryn and Jordan had known each other for two years, so Cathryn knew that Jordan didn’t get carsick.

After Jordan sat down, he leaned back in the seat, laid his head back, and closed his eyes. It was cold outside, but the expression on Jordan’s face was colder than the weather. He pressed his lips firmly together and kept a straight face.

This made Cathryn feel uncomfortable. ‘I have no idea why he is sitting with me,’ Cathryn wondered.

Looking at Jordan, Cathryn became fidgety and uneasy. She couldn’t wait to get back to the hotel. Once they arrived, the people started getting off the bus one by one, but Jordan seemed to have no intention of getting off. Cathryn just sat there waiting for Jordan to move. She looked back at Jason with a confused look on her face.

Jordan had gone too far, and Jason had to clear this messy situation up for him. Then, he directed the people from behind the bus while explaining, “Jordan is just tired. He just needs a little more rest, and he will be getting off shortly.”

The only two people left on the bus were Cathryn and Jordan. Cathryn was starving as she had only eaten a little for breakfast, but Jordan wouldn’t allow Cathryn to get past him. She sat there for a while, waiting for him to get up.

Finally, she had enough, Cathryn stood up and prepared to climb over Jordan. Unexpectedly, just as she stood up, Jordan suddenly opened his eyes. “You did a great job today. The scene was perfect for you,” he said harshly. Without understanding the true meaning of Jordan’s words, Cathryn thought Jordan was praising her acting skills.

For a moment, Cathryn was too stunned to say anything. She blushed and smiled. “Thank you,” Cathryn said hesitantly.

Jordan was furious when he heard what Cathryn said and immediately got off the bus. Cathryn was confused by his behavior. She watched him walk away, and she was at a total loss of words. ‘What is his problem? Did I say something wrong?’ Cathryn thought as she shook her head.

Cathryn played the role of the heroine’s cousin, and Athena was the heroine. It was inevitable that Cathryn would star opposite Athena. Then there was Alice, who played the role of the heroine’s colleague. She would also star opposite them. In this scene, Cathryn wants Athena to arrange a job for her. However, since Cathryn was so lazy, she wasn’t satisfied with the job and turned it down. Now Athena was left cleaning up her mess. She was getting sick and tired of Cathryn’s behavior, and Athena went to tell Cathryn she was going to arrange any more jobs for her.

Cathryn disagreed. “My family has helped you a lot ever since you were a child, to be exact. Now, you are telling me you won’t get me another job?” Cathryn said.

She was furious with Athena for being so ungrateful. “If you don’t, I hope you realize the consequences will be. Do you remember all the money that your family borrowed?” Cathryn asked.

“Hmmm. It seems to me that the village bully is still looking for you. He has taken quite a fancy to you, and it would only take one phone call from me, and he would know exactly where you are.”

If he knew where she was, he would undoubtedly come to pester her for the usury her father had owed his family.

Athena’s father had passed away, and he left outstanding debts. Athena didn’t want to live like this anymore, but there was nothing she could do. Then, unexpectedly, Alice, who played the role of her good friend, couldn’t stand seeing Athena being treated like this by Cathryn.

Alice threw a cup of coffee in Cathryn’s face. “How dare you treat her like this. She had done so much for you, and this is how you treat her?” Alice asked.

Alice had just graduated from the film academy and did not have a lot of experience in acting. It was a simple scene, but it had to be filmed ten times.

Then it still didn’t meet the director’s requirements. In total, Alice splashed coffee on Cathryn’s face again and again.

She was so stressed and started shaking that she could hardly hold the coffee cup. She turned towards Sampson.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Sampson, I need to take a break. I can’t seem to do this scene properly.” Alice said anxiously.

Sampson raised his hand and said to the staff, “Cut!”

Then, Sampson said to Alice and Cathryn, “You two can have a rest for the remainder of the day. We’ll put off filming this scene until tomorrow.”

Without any hesitation, Sampson gave Alice and Cathryn the afternoon off. After hearing what he said, everyone was shocked because the money it cost for only one day of filming was over the top.

There was the fee for renting the venues and the various labor costs. Cathryn immediately started to wipe the coffee off her face, and Alice began to help her.

Alice was very apologetic about the whole incident and apologized to Cathryn repeatedly. “Don’t be so hard on yourself, Alice. I have been where you are. It can be stressful at times. You will get it.” Cathryn said.

“I feel awful, Cathryn. What can I do to make it up to you? I know, how about I take you out for lunch?” Alice asked.

Cathryn knew Alice didn’t have a lot of money, being a recent graduate and all. So, Cathryn told Alice she wasn’t hungry and asked her to take a walk around the filming base. Alice happily agreed.

“Thanks, Cathryn, that sounds like fun. Again, I’m sorry for screwing up my part!”

The two of them grabbed a snack and went to the souvenir market. “I want to show you something!” Alice said excitedly.

When Alice heard Cathryn say that she wanted to buy a souvenir, Alice’s eyes immediately brightened up. Then she enthusiastically dragged Cathryn to an old man’s stall.

After greeting the old man, Alice bent down and picked up a pendant that was woven from dried grass. “These are all made by this old gentleman. His name is written on the back,” Alice said. “I bought one for my boyfriend. Then I bought a wind chime made out of ceramic. It’s absolutely beautiful. So l hung in front of my window.”
