The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 51

Seven years ago, Nicole had also been drugged, and as a result she gave up her virginity to a stranger.

Even though she would always try to talk herself out of how what happened wasn't a big deal, deep down she couldn't truly let it go. Yet, she never expected Bonnie to have gone through the same.

A trace of doubt crossed Kerr's face as he listened to Nicole's accusation.

"I have nothing to do with Ken's business."

He didn't want to take the fall for Ken. Nicole had been keeping him at arm's length. She had finally let her guard down a bit, but she was cold to him again because of Ken's mistake.

After hearing Kerr's words, Nicole closed her eyes and took a few moments to process everything. Once she opened her eyelids again, there was no sign of anger in her face. Quite the contrary, she was uncharacteristically calm.

"I apologize for what happened this morning. And I appreciate you for taking care of me last night and bringing me to the hospital. But now I'm all right. I can go back to work."

Nicole picked up her coat and walked out of the ward.

She couldn't let her emotions show in front of Kerr. She had almost revealed him too much, and she couldn't risk him finding anything out.

Kerr decided not to argue or force her to stay in the hospital. Instead, he drove her back to the Gu Group, not for a second forgetting about what he suspected.

In the next few days, Nicole kept avoiding Kerr, and as he didn't chase her anymore, she began to think he had given up.

With Kerr's personality and status, she didn't expect him to renounce the world for a woman. Especially for one who had been rejecting him.

The thought of it brought her a sense of relief, but she couldn't help feeling disappointed as well.

"Director Ning, the Chu Group's CEO, Jeremy Chu, is already waiting in the conference room. Mr. Gu requested you would receive him."

As soon as Lily delivered the message, she noticed Nicole wasn't her usual self. Although she was sitting right there in the office, her eyes were unfocused and her thoughts were certainly elsewhere, which left Lily to wonder.

Since Nicole was sent to the hospital the other day, the Gu Group had a new order from above. At this time, no one was allowed to discuss the relationship between Nicole and Kerr anywhere in the company.

From everyone's eyes, this was Kerr's way to protect Nicole.

"Okay, I know."

Clearing her head, Nicole grabbed the documents she had prepared for the meeting and headed to the conference room.

When she approached the room, she spotted Kerr walking towards the same way, followed by Jared and Sunny. Nicole was sent into a trance as she felt she hadn't seen Kerr in a long time.

She noticed that nothing had changed on him. His spirit and vigor remained the same as always.

Sunny glanced from Nicole to Kerr, and holding a mischievous look in her eyes, she purposely stumbled onto him.

"Oh, my God!"

Kerr just reacted to Sunny's panicked voice, instinctively reaching out to her and holding her arm before she could fall.

Nicole rolled her eyes and pushed the door to the conference room open.
