Chapter 167 The Water Fight
- Cora and Lucas were chatting and laughing continuously while watching the movie. Byron frowned several times, trying to use his imposing aura to make them quiet down. But whether it was because the movie was too exciting, causing them to completely forget about their surroundings, or because both of them were intentionally challenging Byron, they seemed oblivious to his displeasure. They continued to giggle, watch, and chat away. So, Byron had to resort to a trump card. “Mr. Woods, it’s a bit noisy.” He kicked the chair Jason, who was dozing off behind him. After Jason woke up, he looked at Byron in a daze. Carter added, “Mr. Hansen stayed up past three o’clock last night and needs to catch up on sleep urgently.” Immediately, Jason shouted, “Quiet everyone; quiet down. This is not a meeting. Why are you all like loudspeakers?” As a result, the bus suddenly became quiet. Even Cora and Lucas, who were watching the movie together, stopped communicating. Byron glanced at Cora and saw her looking back at him. He casually put on his sunglasses. Two hours later, the bus arrived at the Rainforest Resort. “Mr. Hansen, your and Carter’s stilt houses are over here.”
- Jason, as always, personally guided Byron and Carter. But Byron coldly glanced in a different direction. “What about them?” Jason followed his gaze and saw Cora walking gracefully in a dress, while Lucas followed with numerous bags. Being able to reach Jason’s position naturally required being perceptive. He witnessed Byron standing up for the woman next to Lucas at the previous Moonware Games banquet, which made Jason suspect that Byron’s unexpected presence at the team-building event might be related to that woman. And now, Byron’s direct gaze at the woman has confirmed Jason’s suspicions. “They are assigned regular stilt houses without beds. I thought you and Carter might not be accustomed to sleeping on the floor, so I arranged a luxurious suite with a bed for you.” “Since we came together, there’s no need for special treatment.”
- Byron’s words once again confirmed Jason’s thoughts, so he didn’t bother with formalities and said, “Alright, I’ll arrange another room for you and Carter.” Soon, the rooms were arranged, right next to Cora and Lucas’ room. Even Carter couldn’t help but admire Jason’s sharp eyes after seeing this arrangement. After a short rest, they were called out for team-building activities. It was unclear whether it was intentionally arranged by Jason, but several activities involving family members and employees were suddenly canceled. As a result, only the company’s staff participated in the team-building activities. The family members were arranged to participate in the water fight activity at Rainforest Resort, and even Byron and Carter were included in the arrangement. When Lucas saw this arrangement, he realized that someone had manipulated things behind the scenes. “Cora, if you don’t want to participate, you can stay in the room and wait for me to come back." But upon second thought, this was his first time taking Cora out, and he shouldn’t leave her alone in the room. “How about I don’t join the team-building activity and stay here with you?”
