Cora pushed the payment notice to Jane again.
“Remember to transfer at least one hundred thousand dollars in Flora’s account on the 5th of every month. It is your responsibility, not mine.”
After saying that, she turned and left.
Jane stared at the payment notice and vaguely guessed something.
The two words
“your responsibility”
that Cora had said just now still echoed in her mind…
After finishing the work, it was time to get off work.
Cora changed into her daily clothes. She held the mobile phone and hesitated to dial the number.
She said confidently in front of Flora and Jane, but she was not sure if Byron would accept her again.
Today, she and Byron also had such an unpleasant thing in the elevator. His attitude was so resolute at that time…
But in this situation, Cora decided to listen to her instinct.
Even if it wasn’t for herself, she had to think about Gabe.
After hesitating for a while, she finally removed Byron from the blacklist and sent him a message.
[I need to talk to you.]
When Cora sent this message, she expected to receive his reply.
But when she noticed the words
“failed to send”
on the screen, she couldn’t help but sigh,
“I knew it!”
Byron blacklisted her.
He was really mad at her today.
But Gabe’s matter was imminent. Cora couldn’t wait until his anger subsided.
So she looked up Carter’s number and dialed it.
“Carter, is Byron by your side?”
“Yes. What’s up?”
When Carter said this, Byron was talking with his business partners in the private room.
To be honest, Carter was quite surprised to receive a phone call from Cora.
After all, Byron asked him to drive to the hospital to see Cora. But in less than ten minutes, he called him to go back to pick him up. He was in a low mood all day and kept a straight face during dinner. The business partners at the dinner table even dared not speak loudly.
Although Carter had never been in a relationship, he guessed Cora rejected Byron again.
It was not the first time for Byron to be rejected.
And every time, he was rejected by the same person.
Carter was not surprised by this situation.
But it was a surprise that Cora would take the initiative to find Byron after she had rejected him during the day.
“Do you want to talk to Mr. Hansen?”
Carter looked at Byron when he said this.
As he expected, Byron immediately glanced at him.
Carter planned to hand the phone to Byron.
Although Byron’s face was gloomy, he didn’t refuse. Obviously, he knew the person on the other side of the phone was Cora.
But Cora said on the other end of the phone,
“No. Where are you? I’m coming to you right now.”
Carter was a little confused about Cora’s meaning.
He saw Byron’s face become gloomier after being refused to answer the phone.
Every business partner was paled by Byron’s cold aura in the private room.
But after thinking for a while, Carter thought Byron was willing to see Cora. So he told her the address and hung up.
The private room had no air conditioning, but the temperature seemed to drop significantly.
Byron drank the wine and ignored the embarrassment of his business partners, who were trying to find something to say.
Seeing the utter embarrassment in the private room, Carter could only say,
“I just received Miss Lane’s phone call.”
Byron glanced at him coldly when he heard this.
“Did she say what she wanted to do?”
“No.”
“Then why did you let her come here?”
Byron was still as cold as he was this afternoon, and everything seemed unpleasant.
But Carter noticed that his aura softened a little.
“Cora is looking for you, not me. Can I refuse her?”
Carter said indifferently, but he complained in his heart,
“You are expecting her to come to you. If I refused, you might want to kill me!”
Byron didn’t say anything else after hearing what Carter said. He chatted with his business partners as if he didn’t know that Cora would come here later.
Carter was a little uncertain about Byron’s meaning. So he inevitably asked again,
“Mr. Hansen, should I go to pick up Miss Lane? This private room is at the back of the hotel. It might be difficult to find.”
Byron said,
“Sit down.”
Carter was stunned for a while.
“Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Byron doesn’t care about Cora. Is he not afraid that she would be targeted by other men here?”
But soon, Carter knew that he had guessed right.
After a few minutes, Byron stood up and left the private room with the excuse of smoking.
Smoking?
That was his excuse!
He went to pick up Cora.
Although Byron was the one who had been broken up by Cora every time, he would immediately turn around and go back to her as long as she called him.
Byron came out of the private room and smoked in the corridor.
While smoking, he walked to the hotel door.
At mealtime, many customers came in and out of the hotel.
Even so, Byron still saw Cora in the crowd at a glance.
Maybe it was because of her outstanding appearance or because she was different from others in his eyes.
But tonight, Cora was not dressed in the clothes that would reveal her figure as usual.
She wore a white dress. It restrained her overly seductive aura. At this moment, she looked like a college student, exuding a tender and pure temperament.
She got out of the taxi, walked to the hotel gate, and looked around. Finally, she saw Byron standing in the distance.
She seemed to hesitate for a moment before walking towards him.
“Byron…”
Cora stood in front of him and looked hesitant.
“What’s up?”
Byron raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, then continued to smoke.
Cora responded with a hum and fell silent.
Looking at her dress, Byron felt inexplicably annoyed. He couldn’t understand why she came to see him at night. After all, she wanted to draw a line with him during the day.
He couldn’t help but ask again,
“What’s the matter?”
Cora seemed to be too shy to speak out. She remained silent and stared at the toe of her shoes.
But Byron’s patience seemed to have been exhausted. He said coldly,
“Don’t say it if you don’t want to speak.”
Then, he put out his cigarette, turned around, and walked back.
At this moment, Cora seemed to summon up courage. She said,
“I’m pregnant…”
Byron stopped in an instant and turned around to look at her. His sharp-edged face was full of astonishment.
