CEO’s Romantic Affair

“Since it’s gang-related, the police department will attach importance to this case. We will send over several more policemen. First, we have to take some photos and extract fingerprints. Then if you don’t mind, would you come down to the station and file a complaint?” The younger policeman asked Grace.

After being told that it was only a theft case committed by the Fallen Angels, Grace let out a heavy sigh of relief, and the faint uneasiness in her mind also gradually disappeared.

‘I have to stop thinking about my past, but it’s still so vivid in my mind. I need to take a deep breath, this is only a burglary.’ Grace regained her calmness and rationality. “Yes, most definitely,” she said, then shortly after, they went to the police station.

After the incident, while Grace was talking to the police, Cathryn immediately called Keith. As soon as Keith heard the news, he left work and hurried over to the police station. After making a statement, the three of them left.

Grace walked in front of them. While Keith was beside Cathryn. Grace looked back at them and felt a sense of relief that the crisis was finally over. But at the same time, she felt a bit lonely.

Looking at Grace, who was walking alone, Cathryn hesitated and then walked up to Grace and said, “Your apartment is not safe for you to stay in now. I think it would be better if you moved to a safer one. The Villa is so big, you could stay there if you wanted.”

“Miss Garcia!” Suddenly a man’s voice sounded from behind her. Grace stopped abruptly and didn’t say a word. She slowly turned around, and there was the young police officer from earlier today. He rubbed the back of his neck and smiled ruefully at her. Grace straightened herself up as a blush traitorously began to stain her cheeks.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“I wanted to apologize to you for what happened today. Miss Garcia. My superior and I have been following this case. for quite some time now, but we still haven’t had any clues. I never expected them to be bold enough to return to Douglas City.”

“Thank you for coming out to talk to me, but you don’t need to apologize,” Grace spoke with such sincerity.

“Yes, I do because it wasn’t until I returned to the police station when I found out you were the second household that was burglarized in the same apartment. Therefore, we have taken the steps needed to strengthen the security in your area,” he said, trying to reassure Grace.

Then he turned around and went back to the police station without waiting for Grace to reply. It was somewhat comforting to Grace knowing they were taking the robbery so seriously.

She consoled herself by thinking, ‘I guess it could have been a lot worse. I don’t even want to think about what would have happened if I was in my apartment when they broke in.’ With a sigh of relief, she said, “It was nice of him to come and tell me. You suggested that we should move Cathryn, but honestly, it doesn’t matter. Since I’ve lived in Douglas City, I move whenever I sense danger. Altogether, I think I have moved either seven or eight times in the past couple of years. I am to the point where I just can’t do it anymore.”

Grace looked exhausted, she lowered her head and gazed at the ground. Every muscle in her body was tense, and she was trembling from head to foot. This whole incident left Grace in unspeakable loneliness.

Looking at Grace, Cathryn’s heart ached for her. Cathryn decided she would no longer try and persuade Grace to move and said, ” Well, do you mind if I go back with you to your apartment? I would like to help you clean it up. I also thought it might be a good idea, that is, if you don’t mind, I could stay with you for a few days?”

“No, I don’t mind at all. Thank you, Cathryn, for being so kind to your best friend,” she said in a voice that was surprisingly calm and quickly hugged Cathryn.

Days flew by quickly, Jane stayed with Cathryn. In this short amount of time, they gradually started to know each other better, and Cathryn eventually realized that Jane was not her assistant but her own personal bodyguard. The only reason Kei told Cathryn that was because he was afraid that it would make Cathryn feel awkward.

They returned to Cathryn’s work, and due to the incident that happened to Cathryn and because of Jordan’s significant influence, Cathryn became the center of attention in the entertainment news. When Cathryn returned to work, she was exceptionally busy, and the whole time Jane stood by her side.

Jane helped her deal with everything in her life and work. It didn’t take Jane very long to familiarize herself with the entertainment circle, so Cathryn would ask Jane’s advice on things that she wasn’t entirely sure of. After a month, the two of them became good friends.

Cathryn was now twelve weeks along in her pregnancy, and she needed to go to the clinic for her first obstetric examination. Entering the gynecology office, Cathryn saw lots of pregnant women and their children sitting in their seats.

“Keith, I’m nervous and excited at the same time. I wonder if that’s normal?”

“Of course, it’s normal. Look at all the women, I’m sure they all feel the same way,” Keith said as he sat down in the chair.

Cathryn looked at the women and could tell that some of them were ready to give birth, and others were about as far along as she was. Seeing all the women, the children, and the nurses scurrying around gave Cathryn the realization that she, too, was going to become a mother soon. She felt a little overwhelmed, knowing she would soon have a baby of her own.

Then Cathryn started to think, ‘There will be so many things to do with my baby! I wonder what kind of mother I will be?’ All these thoughts were racing through her mind, and suddenly a feeling of excitement filled her. Cathryn’s eyes became moist with tears, and she almost started to cry.

Kei was sitting beside her, and he immediately asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling okay?”
