CEO’s Romantic Affair

Athena was an up-and-coming young actress in the entertainment circle, and there was also a huge age gap between Athena and Jordan. She was a woman of mixed race, and she was absolutely beautiful. Like the ocean, her eyes were deep, and she had luscious lips, a narrow nose, and high cheekbones.

Athena gradually rose to fame, and the news about her having plastic surgery had never stopped. In her earlier years, she used to be a model, looking sweet and pretty. Her previous pictures in magazines could be seen everywhere, but she was far less beautiful than she was now.

However, even though there was evidence proving she had a medical procedure done, Athena continued to insist stubbornly that she hadn’t undergone plastic surgery. It wasn’t until after Jordan’s proposal that they and their marriage replaced the topic of her. The photos of the two datings frequently occupied the headlines of various entertainment newspapers.

The pictures of the two of them having dinner with Jordan’s family were also posted on Twitter. Cathryn thought Athena and Jordan’s relationship was true love. When she and Jordan were married, she was never allowed to ask about his family or talk about her family. There was never any mention of her meeting his family. She would sob and beg him to let her meet his parents or for him to meet hers, but he never gave in. He would only get angry with her and put the blame on her. Her heart was filled with sadness and pain.

Thinking of the moments that she spent with Jordan would only give her feelings of anger and disappointment. Then, she pulled the suitcase to her side and managed to calm herself down. She looked at the two people in front of her and only felt resentment.

It was evident that there was a certain coldness in her attitude towards them.

Looking at her hand hanging in the air, Athena slightly lifted her eyebrows and then calmly withdrew her hand. She smiled at Cathryn and softly said, “I just want to help you.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Jordan stood aside, and because he was wearing sunglasses, the emotion in his eyes was unclear, but the expression on his face was still cold. He stretched out his hand to hold Athena’s and looked down at her. In less than a second, his expression changed from indifference to gentleness.

“Don’t fool around with it. It’s such a big suitcase, what if you get injured?” Jordan said with a soft high tone of voice. His voice was so clear and calm that she wasn’t sure she had heard him right. If his fans had listened to his words, they would have screamed wildly.

Jordan’s sudden change of attitude made Athena look up at him and wink. She was a bit surprised at first, then she smiled and clasped Jordan’s arm and said like a spoiled child, “After all, Miss Riley is my predecessor, and I just want to help her.”

The two of them made no hesitation in showing their affection in front of Cathryn, she looked at them and shook her head with indescribable anger. She swallowed hard as she wanted to say something to them. She had been in love with Jordan for two years, so it was impossible for her just to erase him from her mind.

Affection was like a big tree rooting in the bottom of the ground, even if the biggest root of the tree was pulled out, there were always some small broken roots that remained that still needed to deteriorate slowly. Cathryn knew that any pain she was showing now was falling into Jordan’s trap, and there was no way that she was going to allow herself to fall into it.

Thinking of this, Cathryn pulled the suitcase and ran away, leaving Jordan and Athena behind. After having her luggage checked, she was a little breathless. Cathryn found a seat and sat down, but what she didn’t expect was just as she was about to lean over to pick up a magazine, Jordan’s voice came from behind her, “Don’t talk to her without my permission.” He whispered in her ear.

Cathryn stiffened as he came closer and closed her eyes, and muttered, “It’s a small world.” Then she turned her head and covered her face with the magazine, pretending not to hear him. She was filled with anger and irritation at the thoughts of having to be on a plane with them.

Squinting at Cathryn, Athena leaned her whole body against Jordan, acting flirtatious, and said, “Okay, okay, I know that. Don’t be so serious, okay?”

They were in the first-class cabin, and all the passengers turned their heads when they heard the voices of the young couple. Then Jordan and Athena immediately became the center of attention.

A few fans rushed up to them and asked to have their photos taken with them. Jordan found his seat and sat down. Unfortunately, Cathryn’s seat happened to be in the same row as Jordan and Athena. They were separated by an aisle. Jordan made a sigh and then sat in the seat right across from Cathryn while Athena sat beside the window next to him.

Because Cathryn was sitting near them, Jordan showed more enthusiasm to Athena.

The two of them fed each other and whispered to each other intimately. They openly showed their affection in the first-class cabin of the flight from Jonathan City to Douglas City.

Cathryn remained motionless in her seat, and her ears were full of Athena’s flirtation and Jordan’s doting voice, making her feel so sad that she wished she had booked another flight. When she thought that she could no longer bear it, Athena and Jordan were also getting tired of it.

After showing affection to Athena, Jordan found Cathryn was indifferent to this, and then he pulled his hat down to cover his face and closed his eyes, and went to sleep. Athena, who was sitting next to Jordan, automatically withdrew herself from Jordan. She tilted her head and looked at his handsome face, recalling that when they had seen Cathryn pulling the big suitcase, Jordan had subconsciously stretched out his hand and then slightly narrowed his eyes.

At the baggage check-in, if it were not for her, who had a swift response and reached out her hand faster than Jordan. When Cathryn looked back, she might have seen Jordan pulling her suitcase.

The loving relationship between Jordan and Athena was just a false play. Jordan had his own purpose, and she also had hers. There was not only a secret marriage in the entertainment circle but also a marriage of convenience.
