Chapter 129: Where Are We Going?
When they stepped out of her parents’ place, Cathryn found the Bentley Mulsanne was parked at the gate. It turned out that Keith traveled a long journey to Jonathan City last night all by himself. Realizing this, Cathryn felt so touched.
When she got in the car, Cathryn asked Keith, “Where are we going?”
“Thank you for helping me out, but what shall we do for the rest of the day?” She was concerned and added.
“Attend the wedding, I mean it,” Keith answered.
Cathryn was surprised and became speechless.
Keith smiled and caressed her hair. “It’s my college classmate’s wedding. I was about to turn it down and go for a short trip with you instead. But now that I’ve come to Jonathan City why not pay a visit? Jeremy and others will also be there.” He explained.
Keith called Jeremy on the phone. Jeremy thought he was going to cancel it, so he yelled at him on the phone, “Bros before hoes! This is what you told me before when you were single!” Keith smiled and told him that he would go with Cathryn. Jeremy became serious immediately and said he would prepare party dresses for both of them.
The name of this classmate was Cliff Johnson, the son of a senator in Jonathan City. This marriage was apparently a political one that combined powers: his wife was the only daughter of a Group’s chairman.
The couple was also happy because they had been together since they were very young.
Jeremy was so busy. Cliff knew that he was good at handling these things. So he gave him a task as the director of the wedding. Jeremy was busy closing an acquisition himself. Now he had a lot more things to deal with.
Since he had promised Keith that he would arrange the party dresses for them, he had to take Cathryn’s pregnancy into account, which merely drove him crazy.
The wedding gathered so many college classmates. Betty and Amanda were also among them. The appearance of the two was as outstanding as before. They were also busy helping with the wedding. During this period of time, they got so many followers, all of which were elites among talents and were trying to accost them. The two ladies got their Aces to attract the attention of those people.
The wedding was held in the morning. Cathryn got changed into a formal dress, which made her bulged belly look even bigger. Before the wedding. Cliff brought his wife and came over to say hello to Keith. Seeing Cathryn, Cliff smiled and nodded at her.
“This is my girlfriend, Cathryn.” Keith introduced, “Cathryn, this is Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson.”
Cliff’s personality was similar to that of Jeremy. He knew how to avoid embarrassment during a conversation. He turned to his wife and said, “It seems that someone wants to be a father ahead of me.”
Cathryn was amused.
As for these classmates of Keith, Cathryn knew they had rich families or privileged backgrounds. They were educated, cultivated, and without any arrogance. They were quite genuine.
In general, Cathryn liked to be with them.
Noticing that Jeremy was busy, Keith joined in to help. Betty and Amanda were also helping. So Cathryn was left alone. Jeremy asked his female companion to take care of Cathryn.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Cathryn sat on the couch and sipped some juice while she was waiting. She was stunned when Jeremy’s so-called female companion came up to her.
Apparently, the female companion was also a bit stunned. Looking at Cathryn’s bulged belly, a hint of dissatisfaction and disdain was released from the expression in her eyes. But very soon, she wore a smile instead. She walked over to Cathryn, sat down, and greeted her.
“Hey, Cathryn!”
The person who came over to Cathryn was the girl who had unsuccessfully flirted with Keith. Her name was Brittany.
Brittany had a part-time job during the summer vacation at a dance school. She got to know a student’s father and hooked up with this married man, who was among the officials of the Stark Industries.
A woman like Brittany was ambitious and tactful. She knew that she needed a reliable sponsor or sugar daddy if she wanted to do her show business in the long run. Although the married man was among the officials of the Stark Industries and had a lot of assets, he got married and had children after all. If the gossip about them went out, it would have an impact on her showbiz without a doubt.
Brittany wanted money as well as fame. She knew that the one she was relying on was not so reliable. So she asked him to find a position as a Secretary Intern in the Stark Industries for her. The man was not silly. He, of course, knew that Brittany was using him. So he disagreed at the very beginning. However, Brittany showed him some records of their conversation and sex videos and threatened him.
He agreed reluctantly. They had broken up in their minds but still kept a superficial relationship. From time to time, the married man would come and sleep with her. Brittany took his request at the very beginning, thinking about getting the contact of the director of the Jonathan City branch. But when she saw Keith, who was attending a meeting in the Jonathan City branch, she decided to break up with the married man completely.
In her mind, only a sponsor like Keith can be helpful for her showbiz forever. But she also knew that if she wanted to hook up with Keith, she still needed an intermediary as her springboard. And Jeremy, who was always playing around, was the best choice.
Speaking of their acquaintance, it was a coincidence. Brittany was buying some drinks in a nightclub and got drunk. She was teased by a group of men. Jeremy saved the damsel in distress. Brittany felt grateful.
Later on, Brittany asked Jeremy out to dine a few times for different reasons. Jeremy never refused.
But for people like Jeremy, Brittany knew them best. The more she looked isolated, the more he would feel like getting close to her. Therefore, she decided to apply a strategy of remaining sweet but reserved in front of him.
