The Reunion After Seven Years

Nicole raised her right hand to her forehead as Lily was curious to hear what Nicole had to say.

"I guess that whatever the rumor is, it has spread until the last corner of this company, am I wrong?" Even though she never cared about gossiping, she wanted to know how people were talking about her. "Do you know what everybody is saying?"

She had always believed that there was no need to feel guilty about something that had never happened. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to bear the pressure of bringing her son to life. However, if the circumstances were different and the rumor was related to Kerr, she would totally mind it without doubting.

Kerr was the unhealthiest and most dangerous person for her to have around. If possible, it'd be the best if there was no contact with him in any aspect.

Lily looked at Nicole as she leaned towards her a bit and cautiously told her the rumor.

"From my perspective, it isn't something of a big deal to be honest. Somebody spread the word that you deliberately wanted Mr. Gu to accompany you to the bathroom and that his feelings for you were special."

Kerr was the type of guy to keep a low profile, even though he was famously known as a legendary figure throughout the city since he became the CEO of the Gu Group. It was rare for most of the employees of the company to see him in person.

Curious about their CEO's private life, the staff didn't stop spreading the rumors. After all, even if they had never met him, he was still the idol of many female employees in the company.

"So they said that I seduced Kerr, right?" Nicole could tell the hesitation on Lily's face and instantly found out what the rumor was truly about. "So now all the women here will hate me because I supposedly seduced their biggest crush."

She took a deep breath and sighed as a helpless feeling emerged inside of her.

She obviously couldn't control and be aware of what people said in the company's corridors. It seemed that she should really distance herself from Kerr from now on. However, avoiding him had always been a hard mission to accomplish, especially now since she apparently was a subordinate of him.

And he certainly would be glad about all this arousing suspicion.

"I don't think that the situation is that bad, Director Ning. So, do you really have a thing for Mr. Gu?"
