The Reunion After Seven Years

"Are you Kerr's new secretary?"

Nicole had been in the company for a while, but she had never seen the girl in front of her before.

"Yes. And who are you? I'm afraid I can't allow anyone without an appointment in the CEO's office."

The girl had a wary look on her face. When she was hired, Jared had specifically told her that she shouldn't let anyone in Kerr's office without permission.

"You can go back to your work. He won't mind if I wait here."

Nicole didn't mind the new secretary's attitude, nor did she want to make things difficult for her. All she wanted was to quietly wait for Kerr to come back.

However, the girl was having none of it. Just when she was about to order Nicole out, she heard someone opening the door behind her.

"Miss Ning, Mr. Gu will be done in about half an hour. Please have some water while you wait."

Jared came in and gently placed the glass of water on the table in front of Nicole.

"Mr. Kang, she..."

Jared's polite smile shifted to a hard stare once he turned to look at the new assistant.

"You can go now, Amanda. We don't need you here now. Just remember in the future that Miss Ning doesn't need an appointment to be let in. Understood?"

Upon hearing how Jared spoke of Nicole, Amanda quickly realized who she was.

"I'm sorry for any inconvenience, Miss Ning."

Nicole briefly waved a hand, gesturing that it was all okay. Then, she turned her gaze to the view outside the window.

Amanda Liang followed Jared out of the office and, nervously, risked a glance at him. The harsh look on his face didn't make her feel any better. But, to her relief, he didn't say anything and just headed straight back to the conference room.

Half an hour later, Kerr left the meeting with a folder in his hands and walked towards his office. The moment he pushed the door open, he found a slim figure standing with her back to him and eyes fixed on the large window behind his desk.
