The heavy make-up on her face didn't make her look her best, but it showed that Sunny had dressed
up meticulously. To top that off, her shoulder-length hair made her look even more vigorous.
When she saw the woman throwing herself all over Kerr, a flash of disdain appeared in her eyes. But
instead of confronting them, she merely walked away.
'Bah, you said you would take care of me,' Nicole thought. 'How shameful of you to lie like that!'
As Kerr gazed at Nicole's back as she walked away, his eyes grew cold.
"Let me go."
His tone was firm and icy. Even though he had let Sunny work in Gu Group, it didn't mean that she
could already do whatever she wanted in front of him. He only spoiled the woman he loved, and Sunny
could never be her.
Meanwhile, as Sunny watched Nicole walking away, a smug look flashed in her eyes. However, the
moment she heard Kerr's icy cold voice, she immediately loosened her hand subconsciously out of
fear.
"Kerr..."
She was the apple of everyone's eye. No one dared to raise their voice at her and talk to her like that.
"It's your first day back today. You don't have to start working right away. Just go and see your uncle
first. Jared, send Miss He home."
Without even waiting for her to reply, he started walking towards the CEO's exclusive elevator.
"Kerr," Sunny said, calling after him.
Remembering the coldness on Kerr's face, her grievances started to show in her own. Just as she was
about to chase after him, the sound of Jared's voice stopped her.
"Miss He, this way please,"
Jared said. By the time he opened the back door for her, he had already started to have a headache.
After all, he was well aware of the fact that Sunny was a tough character to deal with. He learned that
even before she went abroad.
As she stared after Kerr's receding figure, Sunny reluctantly got in the car.
She knew very well what kind of person Kerr was. Once he had already made up his mind about
something, there was no changing it. And if she continued to pester him, he would most probably get
angry.
"Jared, who is the woman who got off of Kerr's car?"
That girl was the reason she ran towards Kerr in the first place—to let that woman know that he was
her man.
Even though she had been abroad for the past few years, she had never let any woman get away with
trying to get together with Kerr. In fact, she was the one who ordered someone to rape that woman who
was once with Kerr.
The woman got pregnant after that. What Sunny didn't expect was the woman had the audacity to lie to
Kerr that she was pregnant with his child. Of course, the woman had gotten her lesson.
"That's Director Ning. The Gu Group employed her from overseas with a high salary."
As Jared looked at the expression on Sunny's face through the rear-view mirror, he couldn't help but
feel a little worried about Nicole. Everyone knew how much of a jealous person she was, and he
definitely didn't want Nicole to be her target.
But even if he didn't tell Sunny who she was, they were sure to meet in the company in a few days
anyway.
"Director Ding..."
she murmured to herself, deciding not to ask Jared about the relationship between Kerr and Nicole.
She knew for a fact that Jared was Kerr's most trusted subordinate, so she had to think very carefully
about what she could say to him.
Nevertheless, she was going to keep an eye on this Director Ning for sure. After all, if she wasn't
important to him, Kerr never would have allowed this woman to work in the Gu Group because in his
eyes, women were only suitable to be kept at the sidelines.
Getting Kerr was not an easy feat. Sunny stared outside the window, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, in Nicole's office at the Gu Group
"Director Ning, Mr. Gu wants to discuss the details of the new cooperation with you,"
Lily said as she stood in front of Nicole's desk. She had just received a call from Kerr's secretary who
told her to tell Nicole to come to Kerr's office.
Upon hearing Lily's words, Nicole stopped writing. She gave her surroundings a quick look before
putting her pen down and putting her hand on her stomach while grimacing.
"Lily, can you hand over my proposal to Mr. Gu? I'm not feeling well. I need to go to the bathroom."
Lily hesitated for a while before reaching out to take the file from Nicole's desk. Before she could make
a decision though, Nicole had already stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Lily didn't think
Nicole's stomach was hurting at all.
However, she had no choice but to give the proposal to Kerr's secretary and pass on Nicole's words to
him.
Kerr's face darkened as he looked at the file on the desk. He knew exactly what was happening here.
'You want to escape? No way!' he thought.
"Tell Director Ning that many of the details in her plan are unclear, and I need her to explain them to me
in person."
When the secretary handed the business proposal back to Lily, Nicole still hadn't come out from the
bathroom, so he asked Lily to convey Kerr's message to Nicole.
Nicole stayed in the washroom for a while before finally washing her hands and walking back to her
office. The moment she returned to her office, she saw Lily waiting for her inside.
"Didn't I tell you to send the business plan to Mr. Gu?"
"I already did, but he immediately sent it back. Mr. Gu said that he needed you to explain it to him in
details."
Lily stared at Nicole with a strange look on her face. She had no idea why Nicole was hiding from him.
Yes, Kerr was well-known as the dignified representative of the entire Gu Group.
But that wasn't enough reason for her to be so nervous.
"Oh, no. I have to go to the bathroom again."
Nicole clutched her stomach with her hands and ran towards the bathroom again.
She knew from the get go that it would be difficult to avoid him, but she literally couldn't think of an
excuse to get out of seeing him. If Jay was there, he might have been able to help her find a solution.
On second thought, if Jay was there, he probably would have helped Kerr find her. Nicole got a
headache just thinking of all that.
Anyway, there was no way Kerr could catch her in the lady's room. She could hide there for a while.
But it didn't take long for her to see how persistent he was.
After coming back to the company, Kerr felt confused when he saw Kerr's secretary winking at him in
front of Kerr's office. Nonetheless, he walked into the office at once.
"Mr. Gu, Miss He has come back home."
"You go and tell Nicole that if she doesn't appear in front of me within two minutes, I'll go to the ladies'
bathroom and get her myself."
Kerr ordered Jared without even raising his head. He had mixed feelings about all of this.
"Okay."
Jared paused for a moment before quickly walking towards Nicole's office.
"Lily, where is Director Ning?"
"Mr. Kang, Director Ning has been in the washroom for a long time. I asked her if she was okay and
she said she was fine, but she hasn't come out yet."
Lily was confused by Nicole's actions too when she saw the expression on Jared's face shift.
"I'm doomed!"
Just as he had expected, a dignified figure suddenly appeared and started walking towards the
bathroom.
