The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 99 The Bidding Event

Jay sighed.

"Avery, will you be okay if I leave Jay with you tomorrow? We have that bidding meeting tomorrow and I cannot miss it. I have to return to the company,"

Nicole asked Avery.

Nobody could stop time. It would quietly pass by no matter what you wanted it to do. Time waited for no one. The bidding event finally came.

"Yes, we'll be alright. I promise that I will take good care of him. But are you sure you want to leave with Jay so soon after the bidding event? Jay still needs more rest. You should at least give it a little more time. Plus, you haven't figured out the truth about what happened to Ning Group yet,"

Avery told Nicole in an attempt to make her stay longer.

"I know. I'll still have to think about it. Right now, the most important thing for me is Jay's health."

Nicole thought that perhaps God was playing tricks on her somehow. Right now, she had no choice but to stay a bit longer so that Jay could recover completely. However, she also had a lingering feeling that if she did not leave as soon as possible, she would never get the chance to leave again.

The next morning, Nicole made sure that she had all the documents with her before she left the hospital and returned to the Gu Group.

"Director Ning, you're back," Lily greeted as soon as she saw her.

Lily looked at Nicole like she was a family member that she hadn't seen in a long time.

"I sent you messages every day, didn't I? How have you been? We are heading to the site soon, right?"

Nicole organized all the documents she needed to bring to the site.

Lily suddenly heard a voice from behind them when she was about to speak, which made her turn around.

"Director Ning, your ride is ready. Mr. Gu is waiting for you in the car."

Jared stood stiffly by the door. He arrived so suddenly that it almost felt like he knew the exact time that Nicole would arrive in the company.

"Okay, yeah, I'll head over there."
