Mia turned around and caught a glimpse of a faint smile on Byron's handsome face.
"Indeed, it's quite unpleasant to see you here," he remarked.
Mia felt a sudden wave of panic. "Mr. Hansen, I never meant to offend you. Why are you treating me like this?"
Byron was not interested in answering her. He simply said, "Put her on the blacklist. Don't let her set foot in this restaurant again."
Carter immediately called other waiters over and forced Mia out. In the midst of the commotion, Mia's weight caused her clothing to tear and her hair to become disheveled.
As Cora and Sally observed the entire situation, they silently applauded in their hearts.
Byron glanced in Cora's direction. He noticed Cora gazing at him with her bright eyes, but she quickly averted her gaze as soon as their eyes met.
Clearly she was trying to avoid suspicion.
Byron withdrew his gaze and walked towards the largest private room in the restaurant. Carter followed closely behind but paused as he passed Cora.
"Miss Lane, the private room has been prepared. We apologize for the inconvenience you and your friend have experienced today. As a gesture of goodwill, all expenses for you and your friend will be waived. Enjoy your meal," Carter said, before departing to join Byron.
At that moment, Sally couldn't contain her excitement. "Wow, your boyfriend is incredible! Mr. Pope is so handsome! Cora, I don't think you've lost out by sleeping with him."
Cora was momentarily stunned, realizing that Sally still misunderstood her relationship with Carter. No wonder Sally had been nudging her and beaming with joy when Carter spoke to her. Before Cora could clarify, Sally continued to gush over Byron.
"Mr. Hansen is even hotter than he appears in the news! His face! His eyes! He is truly handsome. And oh my GOD the way he taught Mia a lesson just now!"
After a series of exclamations, Sally lowered her voice and murmured, "I wonder what it's like to sleep with such a man."
Cora replied absentmindedly, "not bad."
Sally stared at her, "How do you know?"
"Uh…I just guessed," Cora replied with an awkward smile.
Just as Byron didn't want others to know about their relationship, Cora also wished to keep it a secret. She feared being looked down upon if people discovered her connection to both Eason and Byron.
As for why Byron had helped her earlier, perhaps he simply couldn't tolerate Mia's arrogance. Cora didn't dare to read too much into it.
"Guessing based on your experience? C’mon! Let me tell you, Byron is definitely the BEST kind of man in the sack. Any woman would be lucky to sleep with him. I'm so envious!"
