CEO’s Romantic Affair

Now she had an annual salary of more than seventy thousand dollars, and her clothes, shoes, and bags were all from famous brands. Stella had a wealthy first-class boyfriend. After a lot of primping, she was a lot more beautiful than before and standing beside Cathryn, who was not wearing any makeup, she was unexpectedly not much different from her.

When Stella opened the door and saw Cathryn, the tense strings in her heart instantly loosened. She had thought Cathryn would change a little after a year, but she really didn’t change at all. Cathryn was standing there in only casual clothing and didn’t have any makeup. So, it appeared as though she looked like every other ordinary woman. Even the relatives would be unwilling to pay much attention to her.

Stella snorted in her mind, then turned triumphantly and walked into the house.

Their grandmother was in the house. She immediately came out as soon as she heard Cathryn’s voice. She smiled and said, “No matter what gifts you bought, I will like them as long as my dear granddaughters buy them.”

Cathryn’s grandmother, who just recently turned seventy-five years old this year, was very healthy. However, she was diagnosed with heart disease a few years ago. At such an old age, her white hair was neatly tied behind her ears with an iron hoop, and the wrinkles and age spots on her face were shining with the warmth of sunshine in her charming smile.

Although at such an old age, the old lady’s back was not stopped at all, and she still stood straight. Everyone always thought it was because the old lady had learned dancing when she was young.

“How is everything, Grandma?” Cathryn smiled and put the things that were in her hands down. She stretched out her arms and bent down, and embraced her grandma.

“I’m very well. Oh, dear, are you getting taller? You seem much taller than before?” Every wrinkle on her face was filled with a smile of satisfaction. She was holding her granddaughter in her arms, and she was overjoyed.

Cathryn’s grandma had three children. Mrs. Riley was the eldest. The second child was Stella’s mother, Nancy Lee. Nancy Lee had only one daughter, and that was Stella. The third child was Elliot Clark, who had a son that was a high school student in grade ten now.

Elliot saw his mother very pleased and then joked at her, “Mom, Cathryn is twenty-five years old. She’s not like Dexter, who can get taller almost every day.”

Dexter, who had been sitting on the sofa reading a book, had heard this.

He just looked up and glanced at his father without any expression and then bowed his head down and kept on reading. Elliot also took a look at Dexter, and then he couldn’t help glancing at Mrs. Riley.

Mrs. Riley was as quiet and cold as Dexter. How amazing the blood relationship was that Dexter’s cold temperament was precisely the same as Mrs. Riley’s.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

At the time hearing what her grandma said, all of Cathryn’s sweet joy was washed away by intense sorrow. Compared to the last time she embraced her grandma, her waist needed to be bent lower. However, it didn’t mean that she had grown taller but suggested that her grandma was getting older and older.

With red eyes, Cathryn pouted and forced herself to hold back her tears. Loosening her arms, she held her grandma’s hands tightly. Mrs. Riley and Mrs. Lee went to the kitchen to help Elliot’s wife, Mrs. Clark, to cook while the other three men were drinking tea and chatting. The men stayed in the living room with Dexter, who was absorbed in reading and reciting words.

At the same time, Cathryn and Stella were taken by their grandmother to her bedroom to talk about some particular topics. After entering the bedroom, Cathryn and Stella sat on each side of their grandma. Each one held their grandma’s hand.

Stella had been listening to the conversation between Cathryn and grandma. She was somewhat casual and was observing Cathryn at a close range. Cathryn wasn’t wearing any makeup, but her skin was so white and silky that even no pore could be seen. Stella’s skin was not good, making her feel a little insecure.

When Cathryn and grandma laughed because of a joke, Stella looked at Cathryn and asked, “What brand of skincare products do you use now, Cathryn?”

When she heard that Cathryn was using a variety of different skincare products, Stella started to get very jealous, “You are young now, but your skin will get older quickly if it isn’t being taken good care of. As a star, you would have to wear makeup all day. You are supposed to know this.”

Cathryn was confused by Stella’s series of words. She looked at her but didn’t know how to reply. “I still have a few sets of idle skincare products at home, and you can go to my house to fetch them after Christmas is over if you like.”

Raising her head and glancing at her manicure, Stella smiled and said, “I bought all these skincare products myself from Europe, and the price was not low. Hope you like these.”

“Of course, I like them.” Cathryn was grateful to be given gifts by others, let alone Stella. She was acting like she was concerned about her, so she hurried to say, “Thank you, Stella.” Cathryn’s eyes sparkled at her. She had pretty eyes which were clean and bright. Of course, Stella automatically interpreted it as an envious glance, making her feel proud again.

“You’re welcome. When we were children, you used to give me the clothes that you had worn, didn’t you?” Stella said. After hearing Stella’s words, Cathryn was stunned for a moment. However, when she was about to explain, Stella waved her hand and interrupted her.

“By the way, all my colleagues know my cousin is a superstar, and they want to watch the TV shows that you have acted in. You said that you just started in show business last year and almost had no work. What about this year? Why haven’t I seen you on TV yet?” Stella asked.
