Idle
Instead of advising her further, the receptionist resumed her work.
She didn’t think a pampered lady like Isidra would wait there for a whole day.
She believed that this woman would get bored and leave soon.
But Isidra’s perseverance surprised the receptionist.
She waited there for three or four hours, ordering takeout for lunch and eating in the lobby.
After five hours, Isidra felt sore from sitting and got up to stretch herself.
Just then, a group of people were seen coming out of the elevator.
The man at the forefront was outstanding.
His kingly aura attracted the attention of those who passed by.
Isidra stared at the man’s charming profile before hurrying over to greet him.
“Mr. Hansen, are you off work?”
Byron was giving instructions to his subordinates when he suddenly heard Isidra’s voice and turned around abruptly.
He saw the smile on Isidra’s face, and his eyes dimmed.
“What are you doing here?”
His voice was cold, and his attitude was distant.
“You know, I don’t have many friends here in New York, and Dr. Lane needs to treat her patients today. Georgia went to work, and I had nowhere to go. I just wanted to ask you if there are any places of interest. We can go together.”
Isidra stated her request directly.
She grew a sense of superiority because those around her vied with each other to serve her.
In other situations, she wouldn’t need to ask. Those people would offer to show her around.
But considering the difference between Byron and those people, Isidra had to ask in person.
She thought that when she made such a straightforward request, no one would refuse her.
And Byron should be the same.
To her surprise, Byron sneered right in front of so many people,
“Do I look that idle to you, or do I look like a tour guide?”
Isidra felt her face burning as she was rejected in front of so many people.
She even felt that those people following Byron were secretly mocking her.
She was utterly embarrassed.
But she was not ready to give up.
“I know you’re busy and don’t want to be a tour guide. But can you take care of me a little since I’m a patient of Dr. Lane?”
But even when she mentioned Cora, Byron still didn’t give her any chance.
“You’re her patient, not someone important to her. Why should I take care of you?”
Byron’s blunt words filled her with shame and grievances.
“Even if you don’t consider Dr. Lane, can’t you think about my brother?”
She didn’t understand why everyone would treat her with more kindness because of her brother, while Byron refused to do the same.”Your brother is your brother, and you are you! His achievements and everything have nothing to do with you. How can you be so clueless at this age? All height and no brains?”
Byron’s words became harsher, and more people stopped to watch.
Isidra was mortified.
She cried out in anger.
“How can you be like this? You’re so disappointing.”
“Don’t say those things in my company, or people will think there is something between us.”
Byron’s words caused Carter to look at him in surprise.
His boss was always taciturn.
It took some skill for Isidra to force him to say so many harsh words.
“How did she offend Byron?”
He wondered.
“You…”
Isidra was dumbfounded, not knowing how to salvage her dignity.
Without waiting for her response, Byron said,
“Are you leaving or not? I’ll have security throw you out.”
Isidra naturally couldn’t tolerate being thrown out by security.
She hysterically yelled at Byron,
“I hate you, Byron!”
Then, she ran out of the building in tears.
“What are you all staring at? If you don’t want to work, pack your things and leave!”
Byron scolded the onlookers in a cold voice.
Those people immediately scattered, and Byron, without looking back, led the executives to inspect the progress of a project in the suburbs.
It wasn’t until nightfall that he hurried back from the construction site to pick up Cora from the clinic.
“It’s been a long day for you. You should go home and rest.”
Cora was treating the last few patients when Byron entered the clinic. She smiled and said,
“It’s almost done. Give me another twenty minutes.”Byron didn’t mind waiting. He sat in the waiting area of the clinic, replying to emails while waiting for her.
Twenty minutes later, Cora finally finished her consultations for the day and came to his side.
“Let’s go home.”
To be honest, Byron wasn’t in a good mood today, Isidra had gone to the office to find him, and he felt the desperation of the siblings to achieve their goals.
But when he saw Cora’s smiling face and heard her say
“Let’s go home”, all the clouds in his world vanished instantly.
He held Cora’s hand, smiled at her, and said,
“Let’s go home!”
In a bustling restaurant, Georgia smiled at Efren.
“I think the fondue here is the most authentic in New York.”
“Is it?”
Efren looked around the restaurant.
In a suit, he seemed out of place compared to the casual attire of the other customers.
“Yeah. If you don’t make a reservation at this fondue restaurant early, you’ll end up waiting like those people outside.”
Georgia pointed to the people queuing outside the restaurant.
“Please take a seat and order whatever you want.”
Georgia handed the menu to him.
Efren sat down, but when he noticed an inconspicuous oil stain on the table, he couldn’t help but take out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and wipe it clean.
Seeing his actions, Georgia felt a little happy inside.
In fact, she deliberately brought him to this earthly restaurant.
After all, he had always appeared aloof and distant.
But what puzzled her was that despite wiping the table with his handkerchief, Efren didn’t show any signs of despising the restaurant.He even willingly took the menu and started ordering.
He ordered a fondue and several other dishes.
Georgia was dissatisfied with how quickly he adapted to the environment.
So, when the dishes arrived, she put in a lot of pepper and warmly urged him to eat,
“Efren, the dishes look good. Have a try.”
It was rumored that domineering CEOs couldn’t handle spice.
So, she wanted to make him suffer and let him know that it was not easy to bum a meal off her.
But Efren’s reaction shocked her.
He ate every dish with relish.
His demeanor was elegant, and the spice didn’t bother him at all.
If she didn’t know that they were dining in an affordable restaurant, she would have doubted if Efren was enjoying a delicious meal prepared by a top chef at a luxury hotel.
Georgia was completely mesmerized by the sight.
The man’s clear voice rang out.
“It’s indeed very good. Youshould eat too.”
Georgia snapped back to reality and saw that he was smiling at her.
The smile was faint, but it added a filter to Efren’s charming features, gently tugging at her heartstrings.
