Chapter 278 Have You Called Down?

Because Cora had been concerned about the bidding result of the Phoenix Project and the showdown with Byron, her heart was very heavy. When she was about to leave work, she experienced her period once more, possibly as a result of her emotions. When she came out of the bathroom irritably, the phone rang. It was Gabe. Looking at the caller ID on the screen of the phone, Cora felt very nervous. She didn’t want to know the result of the bid at all. If she never knew the answer, would she be able to stay with Byron forever? However, she knew that escaping was never the solution. In the end, she answered the phone. On the other side of the phone, Gabe’s excited voice soon came. He said, “Cora, it’s done! We got the Phoenix Project!” When Cora heard the result, she felt her heart was dead. Her voice became hoarse. “Really? That’s great.” Gabe said, “Let’s go out to celebrate tonight.” Gabe was too excited, and he didn’t notice that Cora was in a bad mood. Cora said, “I have something tonight, so I won’t go. Go celebrate and have fun.” She had already been ready for a showdown with Byron at night. Gabe said, “Okay, I’ll take you to celebrate another day.” He reminded Cora, “Tell your friend who works at Sunda Group to be careful. When the result was announced today, the person in charge of Sunda Group was furious. I think he will investigate this matter.” Cora said, “Don’t worry, my friend resigned a long time ago and went abroad.” She didn’t tell Gabe that she lied to him, so she could only continue to talk nonsense. Gabe said, “That’s good. I’ll hang up. I need to go through some procedures.” “Okay,” Nora said. After finishing the phone call with Gabe, Cora’s stomach hurt so much that she was sweating. However, she still finished her work calmly and then went home, waiting for Byron to come back. She thought that after such a serious accident, Byron would stay in the company to deal with it, and he couldn’t come back to have dinner with her as promised. Unexpectedly, not long after she arrived home, Byron also came back. What surprised her the most was that Byron gently rubbed her hair. He said, “Why don’t you change your clothes? We are going out to eat.” His tone was as gentle as ever. It seemed that the affairs of the company did not affect his interest at all.
