The Reunion After Seven Years

It looked like Sunny just came to talk to Kerr. Upon knowing what her purpose was for being there, Baron continued his walk towards the lounge.

He was aware that Nicole was inside the lounge next door, however, they were competitors now. The bidding was about to start. He knew he couldn't be seen with Nicole so he dialed her phone number.

"Are you nervous?"

When Nicole heard Baron's gentle and soothing voice, she couldn't help the faint smile that appeared on her face.

"Are you?"

This was her very last project in the Gu Group. She prepared for it thoroughly and meticulously before she came here. She had no reason to be nervous.

"It's already an honor just to be standing on the same stage as you. The result isn't that important,"

Baron answered Nicole, his tone relaxed.

At that moment, he honestly felt that business was less important than Nicole. He couldn't believe that when he was given the choice between business and Nicole, he would choose the business.

"Come on now. You know I won't pull my punches."

Nicole had a confident smile sketched on her face. However, it immediately disappeared when she felt a sudden discomfort in her stomach.

She realized that she didn't eat anything for breakfast because she was in a hurry to get to the site. For the past few days, Nicole worked overtime just to finish the project. She hadn't had a good rest ever since she started working. She ended up eating irregularly and it caused her to feel a little bit under the weather.

When she finished talking, she heard the door of the lounge suddenly open.

"Director Ning, the bidding has started. We need to sit down now,"

Jared informed Nicole as soon as they made eye contact with each other.

Nicole nodded at him and turned off her phone. She then picked up the documents and walked out of the lounge.

According to the enterprise's ranking, the Gu Group was ranked at the top. So naturally, Nicole would be the first to go up to the stage.
