The Reunion After Seven Years

"Get out!"

Hearing his cold voice, Sunny felt her body tremble all over with fear. She watched him clench his jaw. Knowing that he would have a fit, she ran out directly without saying another word and caring about her appearance.

Jared efficiently selected a shirt from the wardrobe and handed it to Kerr. When he saw him putting it on, his expression turned clouded and dispirited. All his words just now were in vain.

"Mr. Gu, no wonder that Director Ning misunderstood your relationship. It's so easy to let people's imagination run wild here..."

he said on impulse despite knowing the fact that Kerr was currently boiling with anger. Though it was quite obvious, it was just a trick well-played by Sunny.

Suddenly aware of the sharp gaze coming from Kerr, Jared shut up immediately. He didn't dare to finish what he was about to say further.

Kerr purposely picked up the documents brought by Nicole a while ago. Giving it a brief glance, he promptly affixed his name and signature. His expression held a tinge of worry, but he quickly concealed it as he sauntered towards her office.

Having learned the stubbornness of that woman, he knew that it was impossible to summon her to his office. Since Nicole had come to him twice today, he didn't mind looking for her himself.

"Where is Director Ning?"

he sternly asked. He was standing in front of Nicole's office, but she was not around. His eyes became dim when he noticed Lily doing some cleaning up in her desk.

Lily gasped when she suddenly heard a voice behind her. Still looking startled, she turned around and faced Mr. Gu. His unreadable expression made her stammer,

"Mr. Gu...Miss Ning said that she was not feeling well and just asked for leave to go home."

Lily was also curious. She had seen Nicole, looking unhappy after coming back from Kerr's office and directed her to ask for leave.
