The Reunion After Seven Years

"I believe he may have already given up. He hasn't tried to bother me again these past few days, which comes as no surprise. He's the CEO of the Gu Group, after all. How could he ever be truly interested in someone like me?"

There was a sadness in Nicole's voice that she didn't realize. She should've been glad Kerr wasn't insisting on chasing her, but she couldn't.

He was a man full of himself, who wasn't used to anyone standing up to him, and he would never find out what cherishing meant as long as everyone was so disposable to him. Perhaps this was the side effect of having all things coming too easy in hand.

Baron's smile fell as his eyes became watchful of Nicole.

Baron smiled to the gesture. When they were about to step inside the hotel, he heard a clear female voice calling his name.
