The Reunion After Seven Years

The voices of the journalists sent shivers down Nicole's spine.

"Mr. Gu, what are your thoughts on the photos?"

"Mr. Gu, is it true that the Gu family is planning to unite with the He family through marriage? According to our sources, Miss He and you are in a mutual relationship, can you confirm?"

"Someone also told us that the Gu family and the He family have already nailed down an engagement date. Mr. Gu, care to give a statement?"

When Jared lifted his head, his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of Nicole, who was standing out of the crowd of journalists in a daze-like-state. He whispered something in Kerr's ear. Kerr didn't turn his back to look at Nicole. Instead, he walked straight into the office building of Gu Group.

Standing still, Nicole still couldn't believe what she had just heard. She squatted and picked up one of the newspapers scattered on the ground. The photos immediately caught her eyes, she was shocked at what she saw.

This was the page that was creating all the fuss; a few pictures of Kerr and Sunny. In one of the pictures, it looked like Sunny was holding Kerr the way a lover would hold on to her partner; and in another picture, Kerr looked at Sunny affectionately. The pictures were something that she knew she wouldn't forget easily.

The pictures made her lose all of her remaining strength and the newspaper fell unceremoniously to the ground. Nicole walked towards the office building with empty eyes.

A keen-eyed reporter saw the dead look in Nicole's eyes and walked over to her.

"Excuse me, who are you? Do you know Mr. Gu and Miss He?"

Upon hearing the journalist's question, her vision came back to focus. The journalist looked expectant; as if she had some juicy, exclusive gossip that she could share with him. She just looked bitterly at him.

"I am just an ordinary employee working in the Gu Group."
