She felt angry and kicked the door casually, but why would Byron be here?
It was useless to regret it, and she could only apologize quickly. After that, she was going to leave as soon as possible, so as not to really anger him.
However, when she just turned around, she heard Byron’s magnetic voice from behind.
“Are you here to hook up with a wealthy man?”
Cora stopped, wanting to explain.
Turning around, she saw Byron put out his cigarette and walk towards her. He said,
“Who do you like?
Carter, Harry, or me?”
He came to her side, with a faint smell of tobacco and a compelling aura.
Cora felt a little confused, and she said,
“I don’t want to develop a relationship with anyone now. I just came here at the request of the hospital.”
She explained it clearly, but Byron lowered his head and approached her.
He said,
“What if I want you to choose one?”
At this moment, the tip of his nose was almost touching hers.
Cora could see her clear reflection in his eyes and smell his exclusive seductive aura.
She also felt her heartbeat speeding up a little.
Byron’s sudden approach and question made her feel a little expected.
But thinking of Byron’s indifference before, she felt that she thought too much, and her heartbeat returned to normal.
He should be worried that she would pester him. After all, his status was not ordinary.
Cora said,
“I choose Carter.”
Anyway, her relationship with Carter had been misunderstood many times.
If she used him to express that she didn’t want to pester Byron, Carter probably wouldn’t mind.
Byron chuckled.
Cora thought that he should be relieved. Otherwise, why would he give way so easily and let her go back to the room?
She didn’t know if it was her illusion. Byron kept asking Carter to drink intentionally when he went back so that Carter was drunk at the end of the dinner.
Early the next morning, Jane went to Elwood’s office.
Elwood said,
“Miss Yoris, if you’re looking for me, just call me over. You don’t need to go to my office yourself.”
Elwood, the director responsible for the introduction of equipment, was not very capable, but he was skilled at currying favor with people.
Seeing Jane enter the office, he prepared the chair and coffee for her.
Jane said,
“How was the negotiation on the introduction of equipment yesterday?”
Jane had long been used to enjoying such flattering treatment in the hospital, so she naturally took the coffee offered by Elwood and took a sip.
“We failed.”
Elwood felt a little guilty.
Jane knew the answer. After all, this hospital belonged to the Yoris family.
She came here in person just to find out what happened yesterday.
“Did Carter go there?”
She asked.
Elwood said,
“Yes, but Carter seems to have offended Mr. Hansen. He was asked to drink a lot last night.”
“Byron went there too?”
Jane frowned.
She investigated and found that Carter was responsible for the introduction of the equipment before.
She thought that only Carter would attend last night’s dinner, but she didn’t expect Byron to go in person.
“Yes, Mr. Hansen even asked Mr. Cross to go with him,”
Elwood said.
Elwood had a slightly complaining tone. He heard that Jane was Byron’s fianc?e, and he wondered why Byron refused to make compromises on the cooperation between the two families. Besides, he even took their rival to the dinner, leaving them no room to maneuver.
However, Jane was thinking of something else.
Carter’s woman went to such a dinner, and he must feel very angry.
Maybe Byron also felt ashamed because of this, so he kept asking Carter to drink.
Under this situation, Jane thought that it was very likely that Carter would break up with Cora.
In this way, she would feel relieved.
If she had known that Byron would be there, she should have gone to the dinner too. After all, she and
Byron hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
Leaving Elwood’s office, she called Byron and wanted to meet him.
However, her phone call woke up the two who were sleeping and tightly hugging each other.
When Cora heard the phone ringing, she pulled away the legs that were pressing on her stomach. She got the phone and answered it directly,
“Who is it?”
She was so sleepy that her eyes were still squinting.
“Byron?”
When Cora heard a woman’s startled voice come from the other end of the phone, she woke up instantly.
She hurriedly handed the phone to Byron and said,
“Your call. I answered it accidentally.”
She lowered her voice and looked a little flustered, which made Byron feel a little funny.
“What’s up?”
He said.
He put the phone to his ear casually, his voice as cold as ever.
At the same time, he oppressed Cora in his arms and watched her as she wanted to run away in embarrassment.
“Byron? Is that you? Just now…”
Jane said.
She checked the number just now to make sure that the number was correct.
There was a strange woman’s voice just now. It seemed that she had just woken up, and her voice was hoarse, which made Jane a little flustered.
Byron had always been estranged from her. Even though he brought her to any dinner party, he never had any intimate behavior with her.
Jane thought that Byron was not interested in this, but now it seemed that he had given his enthusiasm to some scheming girls.
She wanted to question Byron about who this woman was and why he would do this.
But she was worried that such questioning would make their unreliable relationship worse, so in the end, she forcibly suppressed her doubts and jealousy.
She said,
“Are you free tonight? Let’s have a meal together.”
She thought since she had found Byron’s relationship with another woman, he would feel guilty of her and agree to have dinner with her to make up for her.
Unexpectedly, Byron said,
“Go Carter and make an appointment.”
Jane was speechless. She was his fianc?e, and why would she have to make an appointment if she wanted to have dinner with him?
But before she could question him, Byron hung up the phone.
“Your girlfriend?”
Seeing that Byron put the phone aside, Cora asked casually.
Just now, she subconsciously looked at the caller ID, but there was no name on it.
Her intuition told her that the woman on the other end of the phone had an unusual relationship with
Byron.
If that woman was Byron’s girlfriend, Cora thought that it was very immoral for her to sleep with Byron.
She wanted to push Byron away, but Byron held her waist tightly. He even got closer to her and looked into her eyes.
He said,
“I don’t have a girlfriend.”
In his eyes, there was a sincerity that Cora had never seen before, and she had those expectations that she thought had dissipated again.
