The Reunion After Seven Years

The whole building was almost empty, including Nicole's office. Seeing that there was no one else around, Sunny walked into Nicole's office stealthily, reached for the folder on her desk, and snapped a few pictures with her mobile phone.

Then, she carefully placed the folder back in a way that it looked untouched, and left the office.

Meanwhile, Nicole walked quickly to the parking lot and saw Kerr already sitting in the car. She opened the door of the passenger seat in the front and climbed in.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. I forgot the time," she said, twisting her head around to look at him.

She pretended not to notice the unhappy expression on his face.

Kerr could easily tell how alarmed she was, but he just looked out the window without responding. He didn't pay any attention to her during the entire car ride. Anyway, he knew she wouldn't be able to hide for the rest of her life.

Nicole was pleased that Kerr wasn't going to blame her. She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Jared with a smile.

Jared smiled back without thinking, but when he sensed the chilling aura coming from Kerr, he quickly turned his focus to the road ahead and ignored Nicole.

They reached their destination in Good Times. Once the car slowed to a stop, Nicole got out with Kerr. This was the second time she was coming here, and she felt somewhat overshadowed.

"Don't worry. I won't let you get hurt again," Kerr whispered to her, taking her hand and giving it a gentle squeeze to reassure her.

He had begun to unconsciously notice her every move.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gu," Nicole replied impassively, pulling her hand away and stepping back.

Then, she politely pointed forward with her arm, ushering him into the building.

Kerr didn't want to make things difficult for Nicole, so he just walked forward.

The room where the meeting was held was already full, and when Kerr showed up, everyone kept silent. Upon seeing them, Jeremy immediately stood up and greeted Kerr. Then, he cast a meaningful glance at Nicole, who was standing right behind Kerr.
