Chapter 206 Meet Again
1/4
After work, Sally took Cora to a bar. They were joined by
Sally’s boyfriend, Hayden Gollust, and his friend, Lucas Quinn.
Lucas was quite tall and had a gentle look, making him seem.
like a business elite.
“This is my bosom friend, Cora. Hayden, you’ve met her before, and this is Lucas,” Sally introduced them.
“Nice to meet you both. I’m Cora.” Cora wore a light beige knitted dress. Although it wasn’t of a very se y style, it still outlined her perfect figure, catching everyone’s attention.
Even Lucas, who rarely engaged in conversations with women, greeted her politely, “Hello, I’m Lucas.”
Sally and Hayden exchanged a smile.
Sally leaned towards Cora and whispered, “Looks like Lucas is interested in you. Why not give it a try? He’s also from Kinton, but he doesn’t want to rely on his family, so he came to New York. Although he has quite a lot of admirers, he’s not a plaboy. I’ve never seen him being interested in any other
woman.”

“Nah, Sally, I’m not ready for a new relationship right now,”
Cora knew that even long-lasting feelings might not lead
to anything substantial. Still, she couldn’t accept the idea of
finding a new partner the day after a breakup.
“But, Cora, the best way to forget about the last one is to start
a new relationship,”
Sally said, causing Cora to unconsciously think back to when
she started dating Byron after breaking up with Eason.
Perhaps the thought of Byron made her feel restless, so she
didn’t refuse to interact with Lucas.
Lucas wasn’t much of a talker and didn’t focus too much on
Cora’s figure, so they got along quite well.
So when Sally and Hayden went to the dance floor, leaving
the two of them alone at the bar, it wasn’t as awkward as
expected.
“Are you always busy at the hospital? Hayden told me that he has to make appointments with Sally in advance. Otherwise, she’s either working overtime or on her way to do so,” Lucas
asked.
“Yeah, we’re currently rotating through the emergency room for our internship, so we’re quite busy. Especially during major accidents, there’s no time to spare,” Cora replied.

They continued chatting casually, not delving too deep into any particular topic.
Cora planned to tell Sally when she returned from dancing
that she wanted to leave early.
Even though she refused to admit it, she wasn’t ready for anyone new in such a short period of time.

However, to her surprise, Sally messaged her, saying: [Hayden and I are leaving now. Lucas will take you home later.]
At that very moment, a murderous intent instantly filled Cora’s
mind.
But since she didn’t know where Sally had gone, she had to tame her anger for now. She smiled and bid farewell to Lucas, saying, “I have work in the morning, so I should head back.”
“I’ll send you home.” Lucas quickly settled the bill and followed
her outside.
Initially, Cora wanted to refuse Lu as’ s offer to take her home.
But as fate would have it, as they exited the bar one after another, they bumped into Byron.
He stood by the greenery near the bar entrance, smoking a

cigarette.
The lighting in that corner was quite dim, and with his
all-black attire, he seemed to have bent into the night,

But this man seemed to radiate a faint glow, visible even in the darkest of nights.
The smoke s at=tered around him, unable to conceal the clear
displeasure in his dark eyes.
However, since they had already broken up, Cora naturally didn’t presume that his annoyance was directed towards her.
“Wait for me, I’ll go get the car,” Lucas said, either afraid that she would wait too long or eager to complete his task of taking her home so he could return and enjoy himself. With those words, he quickly ran toward the parking lot.
It was at this moment that Byron extinguished his cigarette and began walking towards Cora.
