CEO’s Romantic Affair

Cathryn felt that the arms around her became a bit tighter. She smiled, “Are you afraid that I would run away?” She teased him.

Keith smiled. “Will you?” His coaxing voice came in.

“Not really. If it weren’t you, I would not trust in marriage anymore.” She answered.

Both of them were happy.

“I remembered when we first met each other, you told me that you already had someone in mind to propose,” Cathryn asked after hesitating for a long while. “Was that person me? When did you begin to like me? Did you have a crush on me in the bar at first sight?” A series of questions fired up.

Keith hugged her tightly. “It was indeed loved at first sight.” He rained tiny kisses on her neck after saying these words.

However, it was love at first sight long before he met her in the bar.

Grace and Hale’s wedding was held at the Marriott Marquis Marina Hotel in Douglas City. Although Hale was a normal patrol officer, his parents had been doing business. So he was born rich. The last time when she complained that her diamond was only as big as Cathryn’s smaller ones, it didn’t mean that hers was small. It just meant that Cathryn’s were really big ones.

As a pregnant woman, Cathryn couldn’t help much for the wedding. It was Keith who was helping around all the time under Cathryn’s instruction. She was actually not a good instructor. But Keith could always achieve what was beyond her expectation. It seemed more like it was him instead of her who had married once.

They rented the whole 30th floor of the hotel for the wedding. Many guests of exalted rank were present. They were waiting quietly for the presence of the bride and the bridegroom.

Before the wedding ceremony, the air became tense. Grace was dressed in the dressing room. The wedding would not end soon: after the wedding ceremony, there would be a round of toasting. So wearing the wedding dress, Grace went to the bathroom.

The bathroom of the dressing room was not available at the time. Cathryn had to take her to the public restroom behind the hall.

Grace was inevitably excited about her wedding. She kept talking and sharing some trifles with Cathryn in the restroom.

Knowing that Grace was happy, Cathryn also felt happy for her and smiled. They met Hale when walking out of the restroom. Hale did not come by himself: he was followed by a young lady.

Seeing the woman behind him, not only Grace and Cathryn but the woman was also stunned.

Before Hale introduced her to them, the woman grinned first and reached out her hand and said hello to Cathryn and Grace.

“It’s been a long time since we last see each other. Isn’t it?” She uttered.

Hale looked at the three of them in amazement. “We were classmates in middle-high school.” The woman explained.

Grace became pale. Cathryn held her hand gently, which eased her nervousness. “Hey Sherry, what a coincidence!” Cathryn tried to sound calm.

Learning that the three ladies already knew each other, Hale was glad. He went to take Grace’s hand and said, “Sherry is Professor Couper’s daughter. She came with her father today. Now she’s working as a dresser for casting people. She told me that she wanted to come over to see you dressed and get to know you. Since you already know each other, I won’t bother to introduce you to each other. I’ll go there to help with other stuff. Let me know when you need me, dear.” Hale said and kissed Grace on her forehead.

Considering there were other people, he just held Grace’s shoulder quickly with a smile and walked away.

“It is a coincidence.” After Hale left, Sherry took back her smile and looked at Grace with hostility. “When I saw the name Grace Garcia, I thought it was another person. I didn’t expect it was you.”

The three of them were in the same class in middle school. The hostility between Sherry and Grace was due to an event. Grace looked calm. Her hand clenched, Cathryn thought.

Sherry stared at Cathryn. She looked at her bulged belly and smirked. “Pregnant? The rumors about you and Jordan spread wide a few months ago. It’s reported that because of this scandal, Jordan and Athena broke up. Is it Jordan’s child?” She queried.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“What are you talking about?!” Grace shouted at Sherry and stopped her. “Your dad is a police officer. You know what slander is.” Grace added.

“Oh, come on, classmate. Why are you so angry? Are you concerned that I would tell Hale something?” Sherry grinned.

“Sherry!” Grace interrupted her. But she was pulled back by Cathryn when she was about to defend.

“Go ahead,” Cathryn challenged her.

With a calm tone, Cathryn actually stunned Sherry. She looked up at Grace. Grace appeared to have no nervousness. Sherry suddenly felt confused, wondering if Grace had already told Hale about her history.

If she had already told Hale, then there was really no sense of threat.

Thinking of this, Sherry glanced down at her beautiful fingernails. She smiled but felt at a loss. When she looked up, she turned her hostility into being angry. “Grace, we are really born enemies. How can you get what I want again?” She questioned angrily.

Sherry’s father used to be the head of a police department. After retiring, he went to a police academy as a visiting professor. Hale was his student. When Sherry went to visit her father, she met Hale. She had a crush on Hale, who only wanted to be one of her friends.

Later, Sherry was thinking about giving away her pride and wooing Hale instead. It was too late, though. She received Hale’s wedding invitation before she could take any action.

Sherry really hated the name, Grace Garcia.

In high school, the teacher gave Grace a recommendation instead of her, just because Grace’s overall grade was higher than her, which made her very unhappy. And now, she was going to marry the man that she had a crush on!

At first sight, Sherry saw Grace and confirmed that she was the same person who made her hate to death, Sherry’s anger rose extremely.

“Because you don’t deserve him,” Grace calmly answered.
