CEO’s Romantic Affair

It was just so easy for her to switch between different faces like she was the one and only player here. Ada was astounded to realize that she was a much more sophisticated mind.

After saying goodbye to Elaine, Cathryn reached out and held Ada’s hand.

She said enthusiastically, “Miss Clinton just confirmed to me that she’ll go to the dinner tonight.” She turned to Ada, “Keith and I would love to welcome you there.”

The forced smile froze, Ada’s hands were ice cold, just like her heart. Cathryn just decided for her in the face of Helen and Elaine that she would go to the dinner before she could refuse.

Ada lost in the end, after a whole morning and noon’s plan. She was not sure if this insisted invitation tonight was a trap for this woman. She had underestimated her too much, and she’s getting back on her without even giving her time to buffer.

Helen saw Ada’s silence and added, “Should I send a driver to pick you up, Ada?”

“No.” Ada refused immediately, “I know how to get there.”

“Oh,” Cathryn said with a smile, “The Clarkson’s house is really easy to find, but it is a bit complicated inside. Please call me before you arrive, I’ll arrange for David to get you at the door.”

Elaine listened and laughed at Helen. “She’s sounding like the lady of the house now.”

Helen replied, “That she is!”

Ada’s face turned darker.

Clenched her fists, Ada gritted her teeth to make a smile and said to Cathryn, “Thank you, Miss Riley.”

“You’re welcome.”

The elevator came, and Cathryn had Helen go in first before she followed. The elevator door gradually closed, just like Cathryn’s disappearing smile.

When the elevator doors closed and the number went down, Ada took a long breath as she stared at the flickering number on the panel.

When it stopped at “1”, Ada turned to Elaine and said in German with a smile, “Let’s go back?”

Elaine nodded and did not smile back. She turned away, and Ada noticed her mood.

The rest of the friends had their time too. Everyone came to thank Elaine and say goodbye. The happy middle-aged lady said goodbye to each of them. Soon there were just her, Ada, and her cleaning lady, making the table and cards at home.

“Miss Clinton, can I have a word?” Elaine asked as Ada was putting on her long outerwear. The cleaning lady handed her a cup of black tea and went to the kitchen.

With the wrong confrontation earlier, when she heard Elaine’s words and saw her serious face, her mood went lower.

The tense atmosphere gave her a bad feeling. Ada tightened her body and put her coat on her left arm. She went to sit next to the professor, watching an envelope handed over to her.

“This is the salary for this week, I hope you understand that this is our last time.”

She said straightly. Ada stared blankly for a second, looking up at the unsmiling fat lady sitting next to her.

“May I ask why?”

“You were acting a bit too much today and were very rude to Miss Cathryn Riley.”

Moreover, Ada was just her employee, but Helen was a dear friend. She simply hired her in the first place for her trust in Keith’s choice of friends. But now, it seems that Ada was not satisfied with just a friendly relationship with Keith.

Whatever she felt about Keith was not her concern, but she should have controlled it in front of Keith’s fiancée. Elaine was a strong supporter of family values, Ada’s use of intimate words Keith made her repulsive.

She did not know what was specific between the three of them, and she did not want to explore.

This kind of awkwardness was better off with Ada dismissed and her having an irrelevant tutor.

Not to mention Ada’s performance today with Cathryn was really good enough to see her real personality. Compared to her, Cathryn was lovely, like an angel taking care of everyone. Despite their similar faces, their inside was completely different.

Not that Elaine thought Ada was bad in nature, she had a very good education too, but in terms of this, she was absolutely stubborn trying to give Cathryn a lesson.

Hearing those words, Ada’s heart dropped to the bottom. It was somewhat expected, but compared to sadness, she felt more humiliation, like a heavy mountain made of sharp stones crashing on her heart.

It WAS her fault for being impulsive, and now it all came back on her so fast.

Without any more words, Ada thanked her employer and took the envelope, and left Elaine’s house.

After closing the door behind her, the feeling in her heart burst out instantly. Her nose was sore as she bit her lower lip and slapped her hands on the wall. Her long curly hair fluttered all over her face, and Ada shook it off abruptly and strode toward the elevator.

Cathryn and Helen got in the car.

Seeing Cathryn silent, Helen smiled and said to her, “See? Everyone loves you so much! You must stay with us for longer, so I can take you out at any time and show off my daughter-in-law!”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Hearing the “daughter-in-law,” Cathryn couldn’t help but laugh.

“Helen, you are so kind to me,” Cathryn looked at Helen and was grateful in her eyes. She had dealt with powerful and wealthy families before, but the Clarkson’s treated her very differently from ever before.

They had strong capital and influence, but they were never proud. They just use their prowess to learn, make friends all over the world, and enrich their spirit.

Only this kind of family would breed a man like Keith.

And Keith was hers.

Thinking of this, she suddenly had a strong urge to see him again. She was so anxious to think that David was driving as slow as a turtle. Cathryn replied to Helen’s words randomly, but all her soul was with Keith. When they finally got home, Cathryn got out of the car first.

Seeing the restlessness in her eyes, like she was a rabbit on a leash and her whole body and face was craving to be somewhere else, Helen smiled and answered her before she asked. “Go ahead.”
