Chapter 75 Hard Work Pays Off
The next morning, when Cora woke up, Byron had already left the apartment.
Cora endured the soreness all over her b*dy as she tried to get out of bed, only
to find a string of anklets on her left foot.
It was made of rose gold and exquisite rubies, and both the clarity and design
were exceptional, indicating their high value.
She couldn’t help but recall Byron playing with her ankle last night, so it must
have been him who put them on her at that time.
However, every time they were intimate, Byron liked to hold her ankle and k*ss it
devoutly, so she didn’t pay much attention to it then.
She had to admit that Byron had good taste, and the anklet suited her very well.
The anklet adorned her foot, accentuating her snow-white skin and making her
feet appear delicate and charming. With a casual move, she exuded irresistible
allure.
Cora looked at the anklet for a while, took out her phone, took a photo, and sent
it to Byron: [Mr. Hansen, is this my reward from last night?]
Enter title…
Byron, on the other end of the phone, seemed to be idle, responding to her
messages almost instantly.
[Yes, hard work pays off. Keep working hard in the future.]
Cora suddenly blushed. She felt like she had just been teased.
However, what Cora didn’t know was that the man who replied to her message
was currently in a conference room.
Many executives were waiting for Byron to give feedback on the plan, but he was
replying to the message with his mobile phone. He even smirked slightly after
saving the WhatsApp image.
Since taking over the Hansen Group, the executives had never seen him smile
like this before.
The only time they witnessed him lose control was when he got angry during a
video call with his S**ual partner and then abruptly left, leaving everyone behind.
So the executives who witnessed all of this couldn’t help but suspect that Byron’s
rare smile had something to do with his S**ual partner again.
But they dared not communicate directly with Byron about these questions, so
they shifted their gossiping eyes to Carter, who was next to Byron.
Naturally, Carter was too lazy to explain these messy things to them, so when he
noticed their gossiping eyes, he started to rebuke an executive sternly.
“Mr. Brown, why don’t you start by sharing your thoughts on these two
proposals?”
This executive’s beer belly resembled a belly of a pregnant woman, and he was
the most curious one. He was the perfect target for criticism.
This executive’s desire for gossip instantly vanished, and he began to anxiously
pile up various adjectives to express his opinions.
Seeing how miserable this executive was, others dared not gossip anymore and
immediately threw themselves wholeheartedly into this meeting.
In the following days, except for occasional business trips, Byron stayed at
Cora’s LO apartment every night.
Most of their time together was filled with intimacy, with little communication in
other aspects.
But the two of them were perfectly compatible in this matter and always reached
the peak of pleasure.
However, after each moment of pleasure, Cora would secretly build fortresses in
her heart to prevent herself from completely falling.
She needed to hold onto either her b*dy or her heart so as not to be completely
engulfed in this quagmire.
In a blink of an eye, Jane’s birthday was approaching.
So today, at a gathering with Byron, Harry, and other New York rich young men,
Jane generously invited everyone.
“It’s my birthday this weekend, and I plan to have a party on Breezy Tides. I invite
you all to join me.”
Harry loved leisure activities like this, where he could enjoy nature and escape
from work, so he immediately agreed, “No problem. But it will take more than ten
hours by ferry to get to Breezy Tides. Should we go together or individually?”
“Let’s go there together. At that time, I’ll have my grandfather arrange for our
family’s Princess to pick you up. We can just have an overnight party on the
yacht together.”
In addition to medical-related businesses, the Yoris family also had some resorts
and tourism investments.
One of the resorts on Breezy Tides was under the Yoris family’s management.
The Yoris family’s Princess was an international luxury cruise ship used for
routes. Apart from accommodating over 2000 pa*sengers, it had various
luxurious entertainment facilities, and the service was said to be top-notch in the
country.
So when Jane mentioned having an overnight party on the Princess for her
birthday, almost everyone got excited.
“With accommodations on Breezy Tides Island and tickets for the Princess, plus
the suspension of the Princess and the Breezy Tides during this period… Wow,
Jane’s birthday party will cost a fortune.”
“If I did something like this for my birthday, my mom would kill me.”
“What’s the point of comparing yourself with Jane? She’s the only girl in the Yoris
family, everyone’s cherished treasure. The girls in your family are as abundant as
dirt.”
Listening to the comments of others, Jane remained composed on the surface
but felt happy inside.
Although she was indeed the cherished treasure of the Yoris family, it was the
first time she had organized such a lavish birthday party.
And her purpose was Byron.
“Byron, you’ll come, right?”
Jane looked at Byron with a hint of shyness.
