Chapter 115

Chapter 115 Quite a Match Cora splashed a handful of cold water on her face at the sink to help herself stay sober.

But before she could wipe away the excess water and open her eyes, someone suddenly lifted her body.

She was startled and almost wanted to scream, but the person suddenly slapped her buttocks hard and said, “If you want to call Tyler over to witness this, go ahead and make some noise.”

Cora immediately recognized it was Byron’s voice, and she dared not make any more noise.

When she came to her senses, the man directly took her into one of the restroom stalls.

“What do you want now?”

Given his inappropriate behavior in the restroom last time, Cora, with both feet back on the ground, remained cautious and quickly took a step back.

“What do you say?”

Enter title...

The man didn’t respond directly but instead asked back, all the while leisurely adjusting his tie.

Perhaps due to the influence of alcohol, Cora couldn’t help but feel a rush of heat throughout her body as she watched him slowly unbutton his shirt with his slender fingers.

“I don’t know, I need to leave,” Cora said.

She felt that if she didn’t leave soon, she wouldn’t be able to control herself any longer.

She hurriedly tried to get past Byron to open the door, but he came close from behind and stopped her.

“I’ve been away on a business trip for a few days, and you’ve become Tyler’s girlfriend?”

He spoke by her ear, and the faint scent of alcohol from his breath brushed against her earlobe, teasing her and laying his long fingers on her skirt...

The phrase “Business trip” clearly stunned Cora for a moment.

She wondered why Byron had seemingly disappeared during this period, not even responding to messages.

She had considered various reasons for his sudden disappearance, thinking that maybe he had grown tired of her or that her words on the day of his mother’s surgery were a bit too much for him.

But she didn’t expect that he was on a business trip.

Although the fact that he cut off contact with her due to a business trip made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, it was still better than the thought of him being tired or angry with her, which gave her some comfort in her heart.

So, she turned around and flirtatiously placed her hand on Byron’s neck.

“You have a fiancée, and I have a boyfriend. Isn’t this quite a match for you, Mr.

Hansen?”

Byron didn’t like her using the word “boyfriend” to describe Tyler and also didn’t like her looking so seductive and alluring when mentioning Tyler. He immediately grabbed her chin, forcing her drunken eyes to meet his gaze.

“Is that why you found a boyfriend to retaliate against me?”

“It’s true.” She smiled, her shallow dimples adding to her allure.

“Has he ever done this to you?”

Byron suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

A light and fleeting kiss.

When Cora regained her senses, he had already withdrawn, looking at her with a distant and cold expression.

It seemed as if the kiss just now wasn’t his true intention, but merely an action to convey something.

Cora looked slightly annoyed and didn’t respond.

“Not sure?” Byron’s gaze cooled down rapidly when he didn’t get a response from Cora.

He leaned in again towards Cora, as if he was about to kiss her again.

Cora, this time more prepared, quickly pushed him away. “I haven’t done anything with Tyler. He just didn’t want to go along with the arranged blind dates and used me as an excuse.”

“Why weren’t you as enthusiastic when I asked you to be my shield?”

Cora, in hindsight, realized that the man was referring to their previous argument involving Jane when he asked her, “Will you shield me?”

She remembered that she didn’t respond at that time, and she didn’t expect this man to bring up old issues.

“Even if I’m willing to shield you, you may not be willing. What’s my status, and what’s yours?”

Cora responded with a sullen tone. However, a smile appeared on Byron’s face, and even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to exude a touch of enchantment.

“So, you’re saying that the initiative to be a shield was in my hands?”

Cora raised her head and glanced at him, feeling as if a faint mist veiled the handsome face of Byron, making it difficult to see through.

Seeing that Cora remained silent, Byron suddenly lowered his head again and approached her closely.

Cora quickly stepped back, displaying a clear sign of resistance towards him.

“Are you afraid I’ll do something to you?”

“Yeah.” She nodded very honestly.

Even though she playfully teased him, it was all under the influence of alcohol.

She had no intention of getting involved in anything in the restroom anymore.

Especially after what happened last time, she had a deep fear of restrooms.

“I won’t do anything to you as long as you and him are clear. Go outside.”

Perhaps as his emotions calmed down, his voice took on a more alluring tone again.

Cora couldn’t help asking him, “What about you?”

She hadn’t forgotten that this was the ladies’ restroom.

“Wait a minute.” He lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Cora couldn’t help but glance in a certain direction.

“Get out,” Byron said as he blew a mouthful of smoke in her face, making her turn away to avoid choking on it.

Cora, not liking the smell of smoke, pushed the restroom door open and walked out.

But when she walked out, Byron’s voice came from behind again.

“I’ll go to the appointment later.”

Cora hesitated for a moment, wanting to ask what the appointment was.

But she quickly remembered that time at the hospital when she felt grateful to him, so she invited him to come to her place again...

Thinking of their absurd antics the last time, Cora’s face flushed with heat. She quickened her pace as if being chased by some wild beast.

When she rushed out of the restroom, she almost collided with Jane’s mother, Sara.

She quickly nodded apologetically to Sara and hurriedly walked away.

Sara didn’t say much, acting quite generous. But deep down, she couldn’t help but criticize Cora’s impulsiveness. In her eyes, Cora couldn’t be compared to Jane, her poised and elegant daughter.

But it was understandable since she was that woman’s daughter.

After scolding Cora in her heart, Sara started to touch up her makeup at the washstand. However, she saw Byron walking out of the restroom stall Cora had rushed out of just now...
