Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
She finally realized what explicit words she had said. She felt so embarrassed when she heard Carter’s answer. After all, she used him as a shield. But Byron’s face was gloomy, as if she had cuckolded him.
At that moment, Cora even thought about her epitaph.
“Mind my own business and make a detour into difficulties. Give up in due course and get out of danger.”
But that was just her imagination. All Cora could do was try to explain.
“Carter, are you going here to have dinner?”
Cora greeted Carter with an awkward smile.
As for Byron…
It was not that she didn’t want to say hello to him. She was unsure whether he would admit he knew her in front of so many business partners.
“Well, we’ll have dinner with some business partners at Maple Restaurant. How about you?”
Carter glanced at Byron and saw the changes in his gaze. So he asked again,
“Would you like to go and have dinner with us together?”
“No, thanks. We’ll eat at the next restaurant.”
Cora wanted to pull Sally to leave, but Sally bumped her mischievously, wanting to push her into
Carter’s arms.
No one knew if it was a coincidence. At this moment, Byron stepped forward, trying to cross the gap between Cora and Carter.
So Cora bumped into Byron’s arms accidentally. Byron was probably out of politeness or something else, and he stretched out his hand to support her waist.
At that moment, the people around were stunned, and even a breath sound be heard.
Cora was nervous, feeling like her heart was about to jump into her mouth.
It might be because of the memory of Byron’s touch on her body. She was greedy for the temperature on his palm. So she didn’t break free from his arms but just looked up at him blankly.
Byron was also looking down at her. His deep eyes were only her reflection.
The smell of his frequently-used aftershave and a faint smell of tobacco lingered in her nose. It was something Cora missed the most during this week in Clamville.
For a moment, Cora couldn’t help but want to put her arms around his neck and kiss him to express her deep thoughts on him in the most direct ways.
But at this moment, Sally’s apology suddenly sounded in her ears.
“Mr. Hansen, I’m sorry. I accidentally bumped into Cora and caused this. Sorry.”
Sally bowed to Byron and apologized. At the same time, she quickly dragged Cora away from his hand.
“Please forgive me. I know you are a tolerant man…”
Sally kept speaking and dragged Cora behind her, using her body to hide Cora.
Byron’s face was gloomy. But she caused this trouble. Although she feared him, she didn’t want to implicate Cora.
Unexpectedly, Byron looked gloomy, but he didn’t get angry with Sally. He even ordered Carter,
“Tell the waiter to add two more seats.”
After saying that, he walked into the restaurant.
“Does this mean that we are going to have dinner with them?”
When Sally was thinking about it in a daze, Carter had already nodded to Byron in response and said,
“Well, let’s go. Mr. Hansen has added two seats.”
Cora and Sally dared not to decline Byron’s arrangement. They could only enter the restaurant and sit at the same dining table with these big shots.
But the arrangement of the seating positions made Sally feel confused. Cora was arranged to sit beside Byron, and Sally sat between Cora and Carter. Sally thought she was a third wheel.
She could not help thinking,
“Is it because I have sinned against Byron just now, so they just arranged the seating positions like this?”
But her attention was quickly attracted by the various delicacies on the dining table. She only cared about eating and stopped thinking about the brief interlude.
Cora picked a slice of pancake. While eating it, she felt someone stroking her lap under the dining table.
“Mr. Hansen, this project would have been ruined if I hadn’t received your support.”
“I’m flattered. It’s just for mutual benefit.”
The soft lighting fell on Byron’s face. His appearance was charming, and there was an inherently noble aura on his body. He looked like the young king, reserved, polite, and intelligent.
He talked to others with a gentle smile and calm tone, but under the table, he stroked her lap and teased her.
They had not met each other for a week, let alone had any intimate contact. Under Byron’s hot palm,
Cora almost couldn’t help trembling.
But Byron didn’t stop. He kept teasing her. Cora’s hands shook and spilled the juice.
The sudden sound made everyone look at her, including Byron.
Byron’s eyes were gloomy. Cora couldn’t see through his mind.
He asked her casually, as if they were strangers,
“What’s the matter?”
The slight rise in the end voice contained a bit of mischievous gloating.
Cora was so angry that she blushed and wanted to bite him at once. How could he flirt with her under the table?
But there were so many people at the dining table. They were looking at her. Her relationship with him would be exposed if she dared to teach Byron a lesson.
She couldn’t bear the consequences, so she had to bite the bullet and hold back her anger.
“Nothing, I just accidentally knocked over the glass.”
Her appearance pleased Byron. He smiled coolly,
“Be careful next time. Don’t be rash.”
Then, he picked up a fork to eat with the hand that had stroked her lap just now.
Cora couldn’t bear the annoyance. She felt a fever on her face. She stood up abruptly and said,
“Excuse me. I want to go to the restroom.”
“I’m going with you.”
Sally wanted to accompany her.
“No. I’ll be right back.”
Cora left the private room and entered the restroom, splashing cold water on her face.
If she didn’t cool herself down, she thought she would burn.
She didn’t expect that as soon as she raised her head after washing her face, she saw Byron standing behind her through the mirror.
“Why are you here?”
Cora’s tone was indescribably annoyed.
Byron looked indifferent.
“Wash my hands. What do you think I want to do?”
Then, he turned on the tap and washed his hands.
Cora saw the water flow through Byron’s slender fingers. She felt the glow and heat on her face that the cold water had just cooled come back.
“Can you stop doing that?”
Byron looked solemn on the surface, but he teased her evilly under the table.
He turned off the faucet, wiped his hands with a tissue, and raised his eyebrows. He asked Cora knowingly,
“Stop doing what?”
Cora knew it. Byron was taking revenge on her on purpose.
She wasn’t sure whether he revenged on her for her explicit words when she was chatting with Sally or because she didn’t explain her relationship with him to Sally.
But no matter what kind of the reason it was, she only knew that she had to do something to stop teasing her under the dinner table again.
As for what to do…
Cora suddenly smiled charmingly and stepped forward.
Byron took out a cigarette and was about to light it.
Cora stood in front of him and gently tidied up his shirt and suit jacket. Her slender fingers touched his chest and kept going down. Suddenly, her hand moved to his crotch…
They hadn’t seen each other for one week. Desire smoldered in their eyes when they looked at each other.
Byron had been trying to suppress his desire. He would spend a crazy and long evening with her tonight.
But her behavior broke his last patience directly…
He immediately threw away the unlit cigarette, trying to pull Cora into the toilet cubicle.
But Cora seemed to have anticipated what he was going to do. She immediately took a few steps back.
“Mr. Hansen, I’ll go back to the private room and wait for you.”
Cora smiled slyly and left.
Byron wanted to follow and pull that wicked woman back.
But he looked down at his crotch and sighed. In the end, he had to go into the toilet cubicle…
“Cora, why have you been gone for so long?”
When Cora reached the private room door, she saw Sally coming out from the inside.
It turned out that Sally was worried about her and waited for several minutes without her coming back, so she planned to find her.
