Chapter 71 Meeting Again
Harry was a little surprised by that, and he asked, “Byron?”
He didn’t expect Byron to have such a strong aversion towards Cora, not even
wanting to ride in the same elevator with her.
Jane felt both puzzled and somewhat unsurprised, offering Cora an apologetic
smile.
After all, in her eyes, the relationship between Byron and Cora was based on
Carter. Since Cora accompanied Carter for a drink the last time, it was likely that
they had broken up. So it was normal for Byron to dislike her now.
Only Carter remained poker-faced throughout, as if everything had nothing to do
with him.
This made Sally even more anxious.
Seeing the elevator doors closing, Sally quickly asked, “What happened between
you and Mr. Pope? Is there any misunderstanding? Should I call him back and
help you clarify things?”
Enter title…
Deep down, she believed Carter had been kind and considerate towards Cora
before. Otherwise, how could he have caught the attention of his boss, Byron?
“No need, Sally. It’s already over between him and me.”
Cora was referring to Byron.
“Didn’t you break up a month ago? Actually, I had sensed it, but I didn’t want to
ask to avoid making you feel sad.”
Although Sally appeared lively and carefree, she was actually very perceptive.
She had noticed a month ago that Cora no longer seemed as happy as before,
and even her smiles had become less frequent. And sometimes Cora would stare
blankly out the window. Sally had anticipated something was wrong, but she just
hadn’t dared to ask about it.
“Hmm.” Cora nodded, her eyes slightly reddening.
“It’s okay. It’s not as difficult as you think to find a suitable man. Tyler is a good
option. I’ll help you dress up nicely for the dinner tonight and try to win him over
in one go.”
Sally had always been an actionist, so that night, she directly dressed Cora in a
slim blue dress with a white sweater jacket, which made Cora appear both pure
and alluring.
The dinner was set at the Majestic Global Restaurant. When Sally led Cora into
the private room, there were already several people sitting inside.
Tyler had also arrived, wearing a white shirt and beige pants. With his tall and
well-proportioned figure, his strikingly handsome face had an irresistible charm,
attracting the attention of almost all the women in the room.
However, Tyler mostly listened to others and only occasionally responded with a
few words.
Elegance and dignity were perfectly integrated and expressed in him.
It wasn’t until he saw Cora’s arrival that he stood up from his seat to greet her,
“Cora, long time no see.”
“Tyler, it’s been a while.”
Cora and Tyler were more familiar with each other compared to others. Not only
were they cla*smates, but there was also the fact that when their professor didn’t
have time to answer Cora’s questions, he would arrange for Tyler to help her.
Therefore, Tyler could be considered as a half-mentor to Cora.
“Tyler, you’re too biased. When I came in, you only noticed Cora and didn’t even
greet me.”
Sally teased as she approached them, causing Tyler to apologize repeatedly,
treating her like an honored guest and guiding her to the seat.
With Sally, a social butterfly, the atmosphere at this dinner was relatively relaxed.
Halfway through the dinner, Cora went to the restroom.
She had drunk a few sips of wine earlier and felt a bit dizzy. She splashed some
water on her face to refresh herself and, as she looked up through the mirror, she
saw Tyler standing behind her.
“Cora, are you okay?” Tyler noticed that the alcohol content of her drink was
quite high, so he followed her out because he was afraid that she would run into
trouble if she came out alone.
“I’m fine, quite sober, actually.”
Tyler handed Cora a pack of tissues, and she began wiping the water off her
cheeks.
In her slim dress, she looked like a beautiful vase, her enchanting curves fully
displayed.
In addition, her face had a slight flush from the alcohol, accentuating her
charming demeanor. It easily made people want to protect her delicate beauty
and shield her from any harm.
Tyler had the same thought, so he suddenly spoke up again, “I’m not leaving
again after returning to New York this time. If anything happens, you can always
call me.”
When Cora looked up, she realized Tyler was looking down at her, his gaze
seemingly filled with an unusual desire.
“Thank you, Tyler.”
Listening to her distant gratitude, Tyler narrowed his deep eyes slightly and
stared at her without his usual aloofness. It seemed that something was breaking
free from its cocoon.
“Cora, don’t thank me. I’ve heard about what happened to your family, and I
couldn’t help much. I’m sorry… I came back late.”
Both of them had been drinking tonight, and this state made it suitable for
revealing certain words hidden in their hearts.
However, just as Tyler approached Cora, a sound suddenly came from the
smoking area across the restroom.
They both turned their heads in response and saw Byron walking out from there.
