Chapter 79 His Appearance

• In order to make a clear cut with Byron as soon as possible, Cora sped up her actions a lot. After getting off work, she called Carter directly. On the phone, Carter’s voice was as indifferent as ever. “Miss Lane, Mr. Hansen is still busy.” “I’m not looking for him.” She thought Carter believed she couldn’t find Byron, so she asked him for help. But she underestimated the fact that Carter was as shrewd as anyone. At this moment, he was reporting something in Byron’s office. He answered Cora’s call in such a manner and informed her so concisely that the man who was buried in the pile of documents suddenly raised his head and gave him a cold glance. “Ask me for help. What’s the matter?” Carter and Byron exchanged glances before looking away.
• On the other side of the phone, Cora briefly stated that she wanted Carter to return Byron’s clothing and meet her mother, pretending to be her boyfriend. “Carter, I won’t make things difficult for you. It’s just this one time. It’s enough for her to undergo the operation with peace of mind.” Afraid that Carter would refuse to meet Flora, Cora repeatedly assured him. Carter had already lost count of the times he had been stabbed in the eye, but finally agreed. “I know. I’ll go there later." As soon as the call between him and Cora ended, the other man’s voice, cold as ice, was heard. “So good with her?” Carter calmly put the phone into his pants pocket. “It’s not as good as Mr. Hansen and her.”
• The crease between Byron’s brows lightened slightly. “What does she want from you?” “Tell me to go to the hospital and get your clothes back.” In one sentence, Byron’s brows tied up again as if a storm was about to come. He never expected the woman who had just teased him the night before to act like she would never have anything to do with him this morning. “Reason.” He still looked at Carter with raised brows. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him and landed on the table, reflecting onto his face, but it failed to illuminate his darkened expression. “She didn’t say." Carter watched the expression on the man’s face darken visibly and said again, “Miss Lane also asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend to meet her mother.”
