The Reunion After Seven Years

Jared anxiously ran after Kerr immediately. He broke into a cold sweat when he saw Kerr stopping at the door of the ladies' room.

"Mr. Gu, I'll ask someone to go into the room right away."

Recovered from his initial shock, he quickly spun around. He intended to call for a female colleague, but then Kerr gestured him to stay put.

"Nicole, do you want to come out by yourself or want me to get you out?"

Kerr demanded as he exuded a manly composure. The certainty in his voice showed that he actually knew what exactly he was doing.

He didn't intend to walk in by himself, because he was positive that she would step out herself. But if she remained stubborn, he would take it as she wanted him to invite her in person, then that he wouldn't mind.

Still hiding in the ladies' room, Nicole was startled when she heard Kerr's well-modulated voice. Her face automatically turned in the direction of the door with her eyes wide open. Uh-oh! Now, she was getting the creeps.

Her thoughts ran wild as she seemed to visualize that there was an expressionless face behind that door. She sucked in her breath. She didn't expect that Kerr could downright come to the comfort room to find her. Staring back at her reflection in the mirror, she urged herself to relax and think clearly. She convinced herself that there was no way the CEO of the Gu Group would barge into a ladies' room.

Patiently waiting at the door, Kerr didn't hear any footsteps at all, and she was not even making any sounds. His eyes suddenly lit up. But as a sly smile started to curl in his mouth, he immediately pressed his lips into a thin line, afraid he would burst out laughing.

"Nicole, your last chance is three times left. If you don't come out, I will go in.

Three."

Then Nicole's taut voice reverberated in the room.

"I don't believe you'll dare to come in!"

"Two."

Nicole was on edge already. She faintly heard Kerr's footsteps getting closer and closer to the door. And it looked like he randomly positioned himself, ready to open the door once he reached out his hand.

Looking helpless, finally, she gave in. She couldn't calm down anymore. She hastily pinched her nose and purposely made her voice sounded sharp.
