CEO’s Romantic Affair

Cathryn quickly shook her head and held her tears back. She turned to look at Keith and said, “No, I’m just feeling a little overwhelmed. Do you realize that we will be parents soon?”

Kei was relieved, and he reached over and held Cathryn’s hand. While stroking her hair, he spoke softly and said, “Yes, and thank you, Cathryn. Because of you, I’m going to be a father, and I know you are going to be an amazing mother.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and neither one of them realized that they were developing strong feelings for one another. First, it was only a friendship, and now it was becoming so much more.

Since Cathryn was only twelve weeks pregnant, the examination was relatively simple. It was finished quickly, and Keith took Cathryn out to get something to eat while they were waiting for the results of the blood work.

When they were finished, they went back to the office and spoke to the doctor. He spoke in a serious tone. “Everything looks good, and there doesn’t appear to be any medical problems. Please make an appointment for next month, and don’t forget to pick up some prenatal vitamins.”

The white-haired doctor was the chief physician of the gynecology and obstetrics department. He was about seventy years old, he was very kind and personable. This doctor came highly recommended, and Keith specifically asked Jeremy to help him book the appointment for Cathryn.

“Thank you, doctor,” Cathryn said gratefully. The doctor had given Cathryn some pamphlets about what to expect during the pregnancy. She quickly glanced at them and then looked at Keith, and he smiled back at her.

“You’re very welcome. If you have any problems or any questions, please don’t hesitate and call my office. I would like to say that the two of you look like an adorable couple and are going to make great parents,” said the doctor.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Hearing what the doctor said made Cathryn feel a little uncomfortable. She instantly felt a warm blush on her cheeks. They thanked the doctor, made an appointment for next month, and then left.

In the underground garage, Keith helped Cathryn fasten her seatbelt. Cathryn had been looking at the pamphlets the whole time, and when he finished, he gently stroked the side of her cheek and asked, “What would you like for dinner? I’ll ask Eva to prepare it for us.”

“I think I would just like to have something light tonight,” Cathryn grinned and said. “The Alert is going to have a premiere tonight. I have two tickets, and I’ve already asked Jane to come with me to the cinema,” Cathryn said excitedly as she told Keith the news.

Hearing Cathryn’s words, Keith felt a sense of loss. He lowered his head to hide the disappointment and the deep sadness he was feeling. Keith took a deep breath to get his emotions under control. Then he shook off the desolate feeling that passed over him. “Well, that sounds like fun,” Keith replied cheerfully.

Cathryn was sitting on the sofa going over the books for her exam when she heard her phone ring. It was Alice. “Cathryn, I was wondering if you would like to accompany me to the wrap-up party this evening?” asked Alice.

“Sure, since you’re going. I will feel much more comfortable, and it will be an excellent opportunity for me to get acquainted with some new people in the entertainment circle.” Then Cathryn hung up the phone. Cathryn never attended the premiers and promotional activities because she was an unknown actress, and she always felt out of place. She only agreed because she knew Alice was going.

When Cathryn arrived, Alice showed Cathryn around and then introduced her to everyone. “This is Cathryn Riley. She played the role of Lucy.”

Cathryn found it a little unusual because everyone was so polite to Alice and acted as if they had known her for quite some time. Therefore it made Cathryn question Alice’s identity.

‘I wonder if I should talk to Alice about it?’ Cathryn wanted to talk to her about it, but the more she thought about it, the more she thought it was because Alice had such a pleasant personality. ‘No, I’m just overreacting. I know it’s just because she is just so personable. Besides, I wouldn’t want to offend her as she is my only friend in the entertainment circle.’

Much to her relief, Jordan didn’t attend the wrap-up party. She heard he went to Hollywood to start filming his new drama. There was a lot of talk and speculation that when he was finished, he would become more famous.

After lunch, Keith drove to work, and Cathryn remained at home as her work gradually reduced. She was twelve weeks pregnant and was supposed to stay at home until her baby was born. Besides, as her belly slowly got more prominent, it would not be suitable for her to go to work anymore. So Cathryn stayed at home and studied for the teacher’s exam.

When Cathryn was busy studying for the exam, Jane called her and said, “I’m sorry, Cathryn. I can’t go to the cinema with you today. My boss asked me to go on a business trip tonight!”

“That’s okay, Jane. Don’t worry about it!” Cathryn was trying hard to hold back her disappointment.

“I know this comes with the job and happens all the time, but sometimes it gets a little discouraging.” Jane’s voice had an annoying edge. It just took one simple call to interrupt her following plans. “I was looking forward to looking at your reports from your neonatal exam, but now I have to go home and pack.” Jane moaned on the other end of the phone.

After the robberies in Jane’s apartment, the security was doubled. She went out every morning to jog and returned every evening after work.

Every night Jane would see the young policeman who had apologized to her. After several days, the two of them became good friends.

Jane told Cathryn that the young policeman’s name was Hale. She could hear the excitement in her voice when she spoke to Cathryn. “Cathryn, I don’t understand, but I’m starting to have feelings for him. Our connection is so unique, we are knowing and understanding things about each other that would normally take weeks or months to uncover.”
