The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 42

"Get out!"

Hearing his cold voice, Sunny felt her body tremble all over with fear. She watched him clench his jaw. Knowing that he would have a fit, she ran out directly without saying another word and caring about her appearance.

Jared efficiently selected a shirt from the wardrobe and handed it to Kerr. When he saw him putting it on, his expression turned clouded and dispirited. All his words just now were in vain.

"Mr. Gu, no wonder that Director Ning misunderstood your relationship. It's so easy to let people's imagination run wild here..."

he said on impulse despite knowing the fact that Kerr was currently boiling with anger. Though it was quite obvious, it was just a trick well-played by Sunny.

Suddenly aware of the sharp gaze coming from Kerr, Jared shut up immediately. He didn't dare to finish what he was about to say further.

Kerr purposely picked up the documents brought by Nicole a while ago. Giving it a brief glance, he promptly affixed his name and signature. His expression held a tinge of worry, but he quickly concealed it as he sauntered towards her office.

Having learned the stubbornness of that woman, he knew that it was impossible to summon her to his office. Since Nicole had come to him twice today, he didn't mind looking for her himself.

"Where is Director Ning?"

he sternly asked. He was standing in front of Nicole's office, but she was not around. His eyes became dim when he noticed Lily doing some cleaning up in her desk.

Lily gasped when she suddenly heard a voice behind her. Still looking startled, she turned around and faced Mr. Gu. His unreadable expression made her stammer,

"Mr. Gu...Miss Ning said that she was not feeling well and just asked for leave to go home."

Lily was also curious. She had seen Nicole, looking unhappy after coming back from Kerr's office and directed her to ask for leave.

"How long has she been gone?"

he urged impatiently. He was more than upset, but he carefully hid the unsettling emotion inside.

"Not long ago."

He didn't waste another second. He hastily turned around and walked straight towards his private elevator. His eyes darted towards the red number blinking at the top of the elevator door. He remained his gaze fixed on it as he mentally counted the floor as he descended. But it seemed that it was moving frustratingly slow, and it was getting on his nerves. He nearly wanted to jump off when it was almost down to the first floor. Soon after he heard the elevator ding sound, he dashed all the way down to the gate of the Gu Group. But, he was too late, he only saw Nicole's car leaving.

"Nicole!"

At that time, Nicole was too absorbed in her own thoughts as she focused driving straight ahead. She was seething in anger and utterly unaware of Kerr's distressed look.

"What else did he tell me to forget? The past? Son of a bitch! I shouldn't have given you 2642 dollars back then. You're worthless! If I ever trust you again, I won't be Nicole Ning!"

Although her heart refused to believe every word Kerr had said, her mind kept on holding onto his words. So all this time, she was always in a pretense, forcing herself not to hope too much.

And now, she even didn't realize how furious she was when she encountered Kerr and Sunny together. It seemed that she was not only angry, but she also felt a little unhappy and lost. Her gamut of emotions weighed her heart down.

She gently swayed her head, trying to shake these worries out of her mind. However, the images of Kerr, who was topless, and Sunny, in disheveled appearance, seemed stuck. They kept haunting and tormenting her.

After a while, she ended up coaxing herself that she had to find something to distract her attention.

And before she knew it, she had driven her car to where Bonnie and her mother lived. She was unsure if they had moved. She should have visited them when she just returned from abroad, but she failed to do so.

Nicole sighed and alighted from the car. Moments later, she had already bought some fruits and found herself walking upstairs. When she reached the top, she lifted her hand and knocked on the door gently.
