CEO’s Romantic Affair

Even since Cathryn had hung up on him, Jordan Riggs tried to call her with any phone he could get. Cathryn had blocked them all, and finally, Jordan successfully made her change her phone number.

In order to exhaust the advance payment for this number, Cathryn had downloaded several movies until the phone bill was balanced.

Unable to find Cathryn and not knowing where she was, Jordan had been attending events like a walking dead. The original marriage plan with Athena was canceled. They began to lose contact with each other until the media spread rumors of their breakup, and the disappointed fiancée openly admitted their split and turned the rumor into reality.

Now that he had his own agency firm, Jordan gradually put down his acting work and started spending more time running the business and operating for his artists.

Even in a period like this, he didn’t give up. Jordan never forgot to spare time to send Jason to search for his ex-wife, Cathryn. But she was too hard and careful. Jason couldn’t find her contact for a long time, and they even used Alice Wilson’s help, who was also blocked by Cathryn.

In the end, Jordan turned to his one last way, Keith Clarkson.

As an agent, Jason had his knowledge and resources with entertainment media. And Keith Clarkson being a golden bachelor, had always been a target. But the tightness of his public relations strategy had prevented him from street gossip, in fact, the only information Jason could find was that he was the CEO of the Stark Industries.

Keith’s recent acquisition case had kept him out of social contact. He could barely find time to call Cathryn every day.

When he left his office at 11 in the evening after work, his driver Jack was waiting in the underground garage. As soon as he got in and was ready to leave, a sudden noise of a sports engine brought a Maybach in front of his car.

Looking up slightly, Keith saw the famous movie star stepping out. He showed Jack to wait in the car, opened the door, and got up.

Two successful men standing in an underground garage in the middle of the night looked at each other with slightly tired eyes.

But love was incredible. Although the two men were busy and exhausted, they kept their spirit high when their beloved woman was involved.

“You came all the way here to see me, Mr. Riggs?” Keith stood right by his car, looking even taller and more glorious in his tailored suit.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“No one came for you.” Jordan came to the fore. “I’m looking for Cathryn.” The intimacy of his tone didn’t irritate Keith. He smiled friendly, and his eyes were glowing like the starry sky.

“You can contact Cathryn directly then, Mr. Riggs. If she wants to see you, you will see her naturally. But you are taking a detour from me, and I’d say you came to see the wrong person.”

Keith’s words were ambiguous, but his attitude was clear. He would be the last person through which he could find Cathryn if he weren’t going to make that harder.

Understanding his stance, Jordan seemed slightly anxious. He stared at Keith and said, “It won’t work for you to keep hiding her. Cathryn said that you were her boyfriend, but are you, really, in a man and woman relationship with her?”

Jordan wasn’t a fool. He had been with Cathryn for two years. He knew it very well that she was a sensitive little woman. If they were what she said they were, she would stick on him anywhere, constantly asking for cuddles and kisses. But looking at her and Keith, Jordan saw a more distant look beneath the forged intimacy.

Jason had asked from the media, too, and they told him that Keith Clarkson didn’t have an official girlfriend. So the fact that she was with him would at most be a cover. They couldn’t be more than just friends. In terms of their huge gap in social status, though, Jordan couldn’t think through how they hooked up together.

The ex-husband’s words hit Keith’s pain spot. But the businessman didn’t seem to be affected, surprisingly to Jordan.

“It is not your concern, Mr. Riggs, if I am or am not her boyfriend. Since you had pushed her out yourself, why hold up to it now?”

Instead of a direct answer, Jordan got a stab in the back. He felt so much hurt by this attack his suppressed anger was on the verge of breaking out.

They were completely different in character. Jordan, after so many years of his hard struggles, and they still can’t change his irritated temper. This is often caused by internal injuries when he quarrels with Keith’s patient, calm and restrained person.

“Do you know what Cathryn wants most?” Jordan suddenly smirked. “She wants to act. And I am an actor. We are the best together. I can give her whatever resource she needs, so she can spend her life happily living her dream.”

His analysis was reasonable. If there’s one thing he can beat Keith on, this was very much it. Even if Keith had enough money to invest in movies for her, he was not a movie maker. He would not be able to discuss the script with her or to study her role. They could never have a common interest in work, the things that they did best, and that was much less fun in life.

Keith blinked, he paused a little and chuckled.

“But does she?”

Jordan was defeated completely.

What he didn’t know was that he had already lost the battle when he decided to come to Keith. Should he have some confidence, Keith wouldn’t be on his list. He was so desperate and wanted to try his luck.

And since he had given up and left everything to luck, he had already lost his count.

Keith got back in the car, his driver switched the car from the next parking space and drove out of the garage.

Jordan Riggs, standing in front of him staring at the car as it went farther and vanished, kicked hard in the door.
