Because Cora had been concerned about the bidding result of the Phoenix Project and the showdown with Byron, her heart was very heavy.
Perhaps affected by her emotions, when she was about to get off work, she had her period again.
When she came out of the bathroom irritably, the phone rang.
It was Gabe.
Looking at the caller ID on the screen of the phone, Cora felt very nervous.
She didn't want to know the result of the bidding at all.
If she never knew the answer, would she be able to stay with Byron forever?
However, she knew that escaping was never the solution.
In the end, she answered the phone.
On the other side of the phone, Gabe's excited voice soon came.
He said, "Cora, it's done! We got Phoenix Project!"
When Cora heard the result, she felt her heart was dead.
Her voice became hoarse. "Really? That's great."
Gabe said, "Let's go out to celebrate tonight..."
Gabe was too excited, and he didn't notice that Cora was in a bad mood.
Cora said, "I have something tonight, so I won't go. Go celebrate and have fun."
She had already been ready for a showdown with Byron at night.
Gabe said, "Okay, I'll take you to celebrate another day."
He reminded Cora, "Tell your friend who works in Sunda Group to be careful. When the result was announced today, the person in charge of Sunda Group was furious. I think he will investigate this matter."
Cora said, "Don't worry, my friend resigned a long time ago and went abroad."
She didn't tell Gabe that she lied to him, so she could only continue to talk nonsense.
Gabe said, "That's good. I'll hang up. I need to go through some procedures."
