Chapter 234 III Intentions
“Wow! Mr. Hansen also took off his shirt!”
“Oh my, I have never seen such beautiful abs before.”
“I wonder how it feels to be lifted by a man with such strong
arms!”
Initially, Cora was shy and didn’t know how to react to Lucas suddenly taking off his shirt, revealing his well-built muscles.
But then, another group of women nearby let out a gasp, diverting her attention.
She saw Byron had also taken off his shirt, revealing his sweaty, muscular upper body…
Cora knew that Byron was the true embodiment of a good figure, with his body proportions possibly being even better. Plus, there was a scar on his right shoulder, adding a touch of masculinity to his smooth body.
However, having felt and observed countless times, Cora didn’t pay much attention to him since the novelty had worn
off.

Byron stole glances at Cora several times and noticed that her
eyes were fixed on Lucas, which made him feel increasingly frustrated and apprehensive.
He could do nothing but coldly urge, “Let’s continue, or are you going to surrender?”
Lucas glanced at him and seemed to see through his
frustration.
“Here we go,” he said, lightly smiled, and resumed doing push-ups.
Byron followed suit.
Perhaps seeking redemption for his previous display of muscle flexing, Byron did the next hundred push-ups quite rapidly.
By the time he finished, Lucas still had fifty left to do.
Of course, Lucas persisted and completed the remaining fifty push-ups as well.
The competition ended, but Jason didn’t dare to send the employees and their families back to their rooms without instructions from Byron. He anxiously waited to see if Byron
had further directives.
But barely sparing him a glance, Byron simply picked up his

shirt on the grass and went back to his room.
Jason could only announce the end of the group activity and let everyone return to their rooms to rest.
“Cora, I’m going to take a shower.”
As there was no shower inside the stilt house, Lucas went to
the men’s shower area outside.
Thinking that this would be the first time she spent the night in
the same room with a man other than Byron, Cora waited for
his back with both expectancy and uneasiness.
While she was feeling anxious, someone knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
Cora initially thought it might be Lucas’ colleague looking
for him, but after several unanswered inquiries, she became frightened and dared not open the door.
Who knew if it was someone with ill intentions toward her?
When Lucas returned, she hurriedly told him about it.
A flicker of light appeared in his eyes, but he tried to comfort Cora. “It’s probably a colleague who got drunk and couldn’t
find his room.””

Cora was only partially convinced. “Really?”
“Who else could it be? Our company booked the entire Rainforest Resort for today,” Lucas replied while helping Cora set up her sleeping bag and lighting insect repellent incense.
“That makes sense.” Cora finally relaxed a bit under his
comforting words and got into bed.
“If you’re scared, we can sleep together,” Lucas joked, tapping
the sleeping bag twice as if inviting her.
Cora blushed. “Dream on!”
Then she turned her back to Lucas.
After all, Lucas was a man. Seeing a woman he admired so
close, it was hard for him not to have impure thoughts.
However, after a whole afternoon of activities and doing a thousand push-ups in the evening, he really didn’t have the energy for anything else.
So he said goodnight to Cora and quickly fell asleep.
Hearing the steady breathing from the adjacent bed, Cora finally relaxed.

Unexpectedly, her phone buzzed with a message from an
unknown number.
