Chapter 15 Angry With Him

Carter led Cora to an exclusive lounge, which had been specially built according to Byron’s preferences, as the banquet hall for this engagement party was also one of his properties. With a little more thought, one should be able to deduce the connection between Cora and Byron. Unfortunately, Eason and the others believed that it was simply Carter overstepping his authority by using Byron’s lounge. They believed that Byron and Cora, coming from completely different worlds, would never cross paths. “I’m not going in. My friend is still waiting for me,” Cora said. “Mr. Hansen is inside,” Carter said. Cora frowned. She really wanted to ask, ‘So?!’ But before she could utter a word, Carter pushed open the door. Cora’s gaze landed on the man sitting in the innermost part of the lounge. Byron was dressed in a black suit, blending seamlessly with the room’s black decor. As he smoked, the cigarette between his fingers emitted a flickering glow, adding to his deep and cold aura. His piercing eyes fixated on Cora’s feet. Recalling the indifference on Byron’s face in the hall, Cora had no desire to subject herself to further humiliation. “Mr. Hansen, I’m going back, I—” Before she could finish speaking, Byron extinguished his cigarette and approached her, putting his arms around her waist.
