Chapter 48 Wait Where You Are
Cora was hesitant to answer, but her fingers accidentally touched the connect button.
Soon, Byron’s charming jawline appeared at the other end of the video.
From his background, Cora knew he was supposed to be in the company, and she could hear other
people talking about
the project.
Byron was also busy flipping through the meeting materials.
Noticing that the video call had been connected, he took a look at the screen and said, “Tonight, I…”
He wanted to tell Cora that he wouldn’t go to see her at night.
There was a problem with a project, and he would work on it until midnight.
But after taking a closer look, he found Cora was neither in the hospital nor the apartment.
“Where are you?”
Cora asked instead of answering, “Do you need anything?”
Her cold voice made Byron feel inexplicably alienated.
Byron frowned. “I can’t find you if I don’t need anything?”
He didn’t say he wouldn’t go to her tonight because he found Cora looked strange.
Usually, she should be busy in the hospital at this time, but today, she was outside.
Enter title…
“No. We are neither married nor in a relationship. We are just friends with benefits and take what we
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtneed. Don’t come to
me whenever you want and let others misunderstand our relationship.”
Maybe it was because of liquid courage. Cora spoke out everything hidden in her mind.
But Cora didn’t know what she had said hurt Byron. He looked extremely unhappy, as if a disaster
would come.
Cora didn’t even know Byron had a video call with her in a multi-person meeting room.
So, her remarks to Byron just now reached the ears of all the executives in the meeting room.
Suddenly, silence filled the air in the meeting room, and they could even hear a needle drop.
The executives even looked at each other. They didn’t expect Byron, who looked cool and aloof, to
have a sexual partner.
The point was that his sexual partner seemed not to like Byron and was very disgusted with his
proactive contact.
It was true that looks could be deceiving.
But because of this, the executives were very curious about the woman on the other end of the video
and wanted to see
what kind of woman could make Byron get close to and dare to reject Byron so boldly.
“Are we just friends with benefits in your mind?” Byron didn’t notice the change in the executives’
expressions but
questioned in a cold voice.
But his innate deterrent force caused the temperature in the meeting room to drop sharply, making
those executives
unconsciously put away their gossip expressions, but there was a huge wave in their hearts.
In their eyes, Byron was rich and powerful. If he really had something to do with a woman, he should
be the one who had
the upper hand.
But listening to Byron’s dissatisfaction in his questioning, they felt Byron wanted the woman so badly
but couldn’t have
her.
“Aren’t we?” Cora didn’t face the camera but looked at the place where the water and the sky met with
watery eyes.
But she didn’t know that her drunken eyes were lustful, and she looked like an easy target in Byron’s
eyes.
It was just like when she took the initiative to embrace his waist in the Perpetual Daylight bar.
“Where are you?” He decided not to argue with the drunk now.
Cora ignored him. But when Byron heard the whistle of the ferry docking, he frowned more tightly.
“Coldale Ferry?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“How do you know?” Cora wondered, but she didn’t say anything.
“Wait for me where you are, and don’t hang up the video,” Byron said, got up with his phone, and
strode out of the
meeting room.
When he passed by Carter, Carter dutifully reminded, “Mr. Hansen, the meeting is about to begin.”
“You chair the meeting for me.” Then Byron left without looking back.
As soon as Byron left, all the executives gathered in front of Carter to gossip.
“Mr. Pope, who is Mr. Hansen’s sexual partner?”
“Does Miss Yoris know about this?”
“Is she prettier than Miss Yoris?”
Carter pushed down the black-rimmed glasses expressionlessly. “If you are so curious, I will
summarize your questions
and let Mr. Hansen answer you in person later.”
“No need.”
“We’re not curious at all. Really not!”
“Let’s start the meeting. Then we can go home early.”
All the executives quickly ended that topic.
They would never dare to let Byron answer them personally.
Of course, while having the meeting, they couldn’t help but curse Carter inwardly that Carter was
indeed Byron’s flunky
and never let them take advantage
