The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 52

"Long time no see, Mr. Chu. I believe that Director Ning has already told you about what the Gu Group stands for. If there's nothing else to discuss, I hope we can make this decision today. After all, our time is very precious," Kerr said.

He had heard about Jeremy's appreciation of Nicole. If he hadn't shown up, he was afraid that Jeremy would poach Nicole from Gu Group. Nicole was the one who had worked hard on the project. He didn't want to ruin her efforts, otherwise he wouldn't even mind rejecting the cooperation with the Chu Group.

Someday, he would realize that he should have refused to cooperate with Jeremy in their very first meeting, as that would have saved everyone the trouble in the future, but that was a later story.

"Okay, no problem," Jeremy replied, but there was a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes after seeing Kerr's indifferent attitude.

Nevertheless, he picked up a pen and signed his name on the cooperation plan as if he hadn't noticed anything amiss.

Then, he looked up and held out his hand for Kerr to shake. "I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation!"

Kerr shook Jeremy's hand with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation," he echoed.

Nicole, who was watching the exchange between these two men, couldn't help but think that there was some tension between them, but she didn't know what could have caused it.

After leaving the Gu Group's building, Jeremy got into his car and clenched his fists in anger.

'How dare that little girl show off in front of me! She was so bold just because she has Kerr's support!' he thought bitterly.

Anyway, since Kerr Gu had started this game, he, too, would play along.

"Go!" he barked at his driver.

After Jeremy left, Nicole looked at the cooperation document in her hand and smiled. Her efforts had brought the Gu Group a profit of over one hundred million! Not only was it a great achievement for her, but it was also something that had gained her Kerr's approval.

"You are excellent. But you have to watch out for those who have bad intentions," Kerr said lightly.

He couldn't help but tease her after seeing the proud look on her face.

He knew that she had put a lot of effort into this project, and he didn't want to put too much pressure on her. However, her confidence and pride in her work made him want to protect her.

Anyway, a confident woman was just as attractive as a confident man. Now that Nicole had realized her value in the Gu Group and felt satisfied, Kerr would definitely give her a chance.

"I see. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gu!" Nicole replied, but she didn't really take heed of his words.

She didn't want anything to ruin her happiness now, so she deliberately ignored the disappointment she had felt earlier in her heart.

Anyway, being disappointed was better than being sad. Nicole turned her head and looked at the woman behind Kerr, only to find that Sunny was staring at Kerr with admiration in her eyes.

From the look on her face, it seemed as if Kerr was her whole world. However, Nicole knew that Kerr would never cherish a woman like that. If she loved him too much, she would lose herself. She didn't want to end up like Sunny.

Carrying a stack of documents in her arms, Nicole turned around and was about to leave when she heard Kerr's voice.

"There will be a big bidding event in a few days and it's very important to us. The Gu Group is determined to win. Are you interested in being the person in charge of the bid? It's going to be a great challenge for us."

He gestured for Jared to hand the report to her.

Nicole took a look at the expression on Kerr's face and knew that he wasn't joking, but she still couldn't help asking,

"Are you being serious?"
