Chapter 7 Regarded as a Deal
Early the following day, when Cora woke up, Byron was already dressed and
standing beside her bed. Cora was in a daze.
As soon as she remembered what had happened last night, Byron handed her a
business card.
“In the future, you can find this person to follow up on marketing wine in Spire
73.”
Cora took the business card and looked at it.
There were two words on the business card, Carter Pope.
Cora remembered that this person was also a member of the Pope family, one of
the four top families in New York.
However, there was no mention of anything related to it on the business card.
In addition to the name, there was only a phone number and the moniker,
“Executive Assistant to Byron Hansen”
Enter title…
“Thank you, Mr. Hansen.”
“I have a morning meeting, I’ll head out now.”
After Byron left, Cora looked at the business card and smiled bitterly to herself.
I just wanted a good night’s sleep, but now it seems like Byron thinks it’s some
sort of business transaction…
Cora’s heart ached faintly, but it’s not like she could explain herself to him…
Cora shoved the thought away, she had bigger things to worry about today
because it’s the last day to pay the bill.
It was Monday today. Cora rushed to the First Hospital.
Cora was a medical student and was currently working as an intern in the
emergency room of the First Hospital in New York, so her salary was pitifully low.
Sally Gray, also the intern this semester and the best friend of Cora, handed her
a sandwich in a ziploc bag.
“Why are you so late today?”
“I erm… didn’t hear my alarm.”
After putting on her white coat, Cora opened the sandwich bag and took a bite.
But after a few bites, Cora saw Sally smiling at her.
“But you look glowy this morning. Did you and your man finally…”
Even though Sally didn’t finish her sentence, Cora could guess what Sally was
talking about.
“How could I?”
The image of Byron’s final thrusts before release came into her mind. It was so
damn S**y that just thinking about it made her blush.
“Are you lying to me? From your look, I can tell you’ve slept with a man recently.
Look at the k*ss marks…”
Sally was an expert in this field.
Cora quickly pulled up the collar of her white coat. “Fine, you caught me.”
“Oh my GOD you finally lost your V card? Spill! How’s Eason’s S** technique? It
should be pretty good, right?”
Carol’s heart felt as if it had been pricked by needles when Sally mentioned the
name of Eason.
She blurted out, “Sally, it wasn’t him last night.”
Sally looked at her with shock etched on her face, then Sally looked around to
make sure no one was listening, “Girl I love you to death but cheating is risky
business. If Easo finds you, your engagement is gonna be screwed.”
Sally was analyzing the consequences of this matter with Cora.
“Sally, even if I did have S** with him, we can never be together again.”
“What, why?”
Finally, Cora told Sally everything. After she was done, Sally was beyond furious.
“Cora, you dodged a effing bullet. Good thing you didn’t marry him, what a prick!”
“Yup, I am so much better off without him,” Cora said, smiling.
“Now I just want to have fun, and try to live my life the best way I can.”
Sally nodded in agreement. As for who the man with Cora last night was, Sally
didn’t care that much, as long as he could make Cora happy.
After encouraging Cora, the two returned to their busy work in the emergency
room.
This kind of busyness continued until noon. Cora took advantage of the
lunchtime break to call Carter Pope.
From her first phone call till meeting Carter Pope, the entire process only took
thirty minutes.
Carter showed up at First Hospital and met her at the hospital cafeteria’s coffee
shop.
He wore a black suit and looked like a business elite. He didn’t talk much but he
was very efficient.
“Just sign right here on the dotted line, and write down your bank account
number. From now on, you’ll get a share in all the alcohol that is sold in Spire
73.”
Everything happened so fast that Cora was in a daze, it wasn’t until Sally popped
over and asked her did she realize it really all happened.
“Cora, isn’t that eldest son of the super rich Pope family? What were you
discussing with him?”
