Chapter 107: Don’t Be Ungrateful
"We would love to train you to be the best if you are interested..."
He hadn't finished, and Cathryn was firing back like a cannon.
"Hey, you listen to me, Mr. Riggs! Don't you assume that I am dumb, I am not going to be YOUR company's artist! Give me an amount of penalty, I'll give it to you right away."
The company had a change of ownership; therefore, every artist should redo another signing process or renegotiate their contract before all the documents were legit. Yet she, an artist of this company, was not even notified. She basically was sold to the new company.
Jordan must be behind this. He had pulled some strings along with the company. She doesn't want to have contact with him now. She had signed with the company for only three years in the first place, and it would expire by the end of this year. She didn't want to meet Jordan at all this year. She wanted to cancel the contract as soon as possible, not even seeing him in court. "You haven't listened to me yet."
Jordan was a bit shocked after Cathryn finished talking. The bonnie rabbit, in his impression, was hopping and biting now. She talked about the penalty like it was some kind of grocery, it seemed that man was rich and generous enough to let her squander.
Thinking of this, Jordan's heart was sour, and he thought of how blushed and ashamed she was when she was under his face in bed.
"There is this film, we think the third female character was perfect for you. Don't be ungrateful, will you? Penalties are not that easy to solve. And are you so rich now, Cathryn Riley? You think you can..."
Beep.
She hung up the phone.
Throwing her blanket aside, Cathryn muttered "scum" while rushing out in slippers. Sitting on the couch and picking up her teacher's qualification textbook, she sighed in bewilderedness.
The book in her hand wouldn't even stand. She put it aside, clasping her hands about her knees, and exhaled in a daze.
She hung up the phone so quickly because she was really tempted by the offer.
She realized she didn't want to quit acting after all. It has been her dream since childhood. She wanted to be famous, and fame would bring her more roles to play. But an old fox like Jordan would never want her to be famous.
He is definitely fooling you again!
She thought this to herself, regrets rolling in her heart, she continued to read.
She finished reading a whole book and started the second. There were less than two months to go before the exam, she had to work hard. After dinner, Cathryn continued to study while waiting for Keith to come back. However, he came home late again after ten.
The thick, calm steps came up the stairs, putting Cathryn's heart on the ground. Her eyes lit up, and she ran to the stairs and smiled as the man walked close.
"You're back!"
Hearing the voice, Keith looked up and saw her with scattered eyes. Cathryn stayed home all the time, she was wearing a loose nightgown until he reached the calf.
Since her belly had been big enough to tell she was pregnant, Cathryn especially liked this kind of loose and comfortable dress.
She liked putting it on and having her entire body wrapped after bathing.
She was fresh out of the bath, with still a trace of the lavender extract on her. Her long dark hair was down on both of her shoulders, her small face looked more delicate than ever.
Down her cheeks, her pale, smooth neck was connected with her half-exposed collarbone, shining in tenderness that reminded Keith of a long, enduring kiss.
A fiery heat picked up in the lower abdomen, and Keith lowered his head and responded with a slam.
He entered the living room, Keith reached out, and slender fingers clenched his tie and pulled the blue tie away, revealing the man's looming clavicle.
Maybe it was the light, Cathryn wasn't sure if Keith's neck was red.
"It's for you."
Keith attended a business reception tonight, and Jeremy was not there. He drank a lot of wine. The consciousness was a little vague, and he didn't forget to bring some cookies to Cathryn. Before he drank, he had eaten some and felt that the taste was good, so he asked the staff to pack some cookies and bring them back to Cathryn.
Keith tonight was especially silent, and Cathryn's excitement also cooled a little. After observing the eyes of Keith, Cathryn took the cookies, opened them, and asked, "What happened to you?"
Keith's tolerance for wine is not really good. After drinking a few cups, he gradually went silent and stopped talking. He tried to sober himself up, yet he was too drunk this time.
After hearing no answer from him, Cathryn sullenly picked a few cookies and stuffed them into her mouth. A creamy aroma blends the fruity smell that stimulated her taste buds and changed her mood swings.
"It's so delicious!" Cathryn's eyes went wide incredulously, 'this is just a bag of cookies, why the taste is so wonderful,' she thought.
She hadn't eaten much at dinner, and a cookie opened her appetite. Cathryn said nothing, stuffed a few more pieces into her mouth, satisfactorily closed her eyes, and forgot to ask a question at Keith's.
When Cathryn was eating, happiness filled her body, shrouded her, and let her shine.
Enjoying her cookies, some cookie crumbs were dropped on her lips, and Cathryn was afraid of wasting them; she didn't wipe them with her hands but stuck out her tongue to lick the crumbs. Staring at her innocent behavior two or three times, Keith's mouth is dry.
Keith stood up and stood behind Cathryn. Cathryn leaned on the table and looked at Keith, who suddenly walked in front of her.
Cathryn was shocked to notice his appearance. At the same time, she also smelled the strong intoxicated smell of alcohol coming from Keith when he breathed.
"You're drunk?"
No wonder he was a little bit embarrassed and went silent.
Keith hastily drooped his head to avoid her gaze.
Cathryn sighed, saying, "I am going to pour you a glass of water."
