Chapter 30 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 thought Cora looked strange. Usually, she should be busy in the hospital at this time, but today she was outside. “No. We are neither married nor in a relationship. We are just friends with benefits, and we take what we need. Don’t come to me whenever you want and let others misunderstand our relationship.” Maybe it was because of liquid courage. Cora spoke out about everything hidden in her mind. But Cora didn’t know what she had said that 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 them 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 gossipy expressions, but there was a huge wave in their hearts. In their eyes, Byron was rich and powerful.
