"I'm glad he's not angry. I'm on my way to work. I got drunk yesterday and didn't go home. But how did
Jay know that I was with Kerr?"
When she heard that Jay went to school, she breathed a sigh of relief. But she was confused. She had
no idea that Kerr would be in the bar, and how on earth did her son know that they were together?
"He sent Jared to pick him up from school yesterday. Are you thinking clearly? How did you get drunk
with Kerr? What if he finds out he is Jay's father? Are you going to stay with him then?"
Baron was befuddled. The girl on the other end of the phone insisted that she wanted nothing but for
Kerr Gu to stay away from her and her son, but here she was in the aftermath of drinking with that
same man.
He worried that Nicole had fallen into Kerr's trap, so he reminded her of her son.
He knew that mentioning Jay could easily bring Nicole back to reality.
"No, I wasn't in the right state of mind. But you are far more distressed than I am. I know I went
overboard with drinking last night. I won't do that again. Don't worry about me. I can handle it.
I'm headed to work now. I'll treat you to dinner later as thanks for taking care of Jay last night."
After she hung up the phone, she looked at the driver in front of her, and it seemed he didn't hear any
part of the conversation regarding the relationship between Jay and Kerr. She sighed in relief.
Remembering what transpired earlier, however, she was still bothered with how Kerr left angrily this
morning.
She didn't expect that Kerr would take care of her drunken self and didn't take advantage of her. The
things that she said to him this morning left her feeling regretful, after hearing what happened from the
maid.
But she couldn't take back what she said. She knew she had to apologize to Kerr. After all, she was
wrong to say those horrible words to him.
When the car stopped at the gate of the Gu Group, Nicole expressed her thanks to the driver and went
straight into the company.
The driver watched her disappear into the building and dialed a number.
"My Lord,
Miss Ning is in the Gu Group now."
"Okay, I know," the person on the other end of the line said.
When Nicole entered the Gu Group, she felt uneasy. A murderous aura surrounded her. It seemed that
she was being watched. When she checked her appearance in the bathroom, she didn't find anything
that was out of place.
So she made her way towards the door, but when she turned the knob, she found it locked from
outside.
"Who's there? Is this a trick? It's not funny. Please open the door!"
She tried hard to turn the doorknob, she turned it several times to try and get it to budge but she was
unsuccessful. It became very quiet. She pressed her ear against the door and heard the sound of
shoes walking away.
Someone was testing her patience, but who could it be? She didn't know who she had offended. She
took out her phone, but when she was about to call for help, it ran out of power and shut down.
"Damn it!"
Nicole leaned against the wall in defeat. All she could do now was hope that someone would find her
as soon as possible.
On the other side of the door, Sunny put the "out of order" sign in front of the washroom's door, then
threw the key in the trash can and left immediately to prevent suspicion.
In the CEO's office, Kerr looked at the documents in his hand with a gloomy face, which led to Jared
becoming wary of his actions, even going so far as to holding his breath so as not to irritate his boss.
He didn't know what was wrong, but he sensed his fury when he came to the company earlier this
morning. He guessed that Kerr must have suffered a blow from Nicole.
"Where is she?"
Kerr asked without raising his head. He wondered who Nicole thought of immediately upon waking up
this morning. If anyone of them reminded him, he felt like punching him to death.
He had been completely infuriated by what she said.
"Ah, who is it?"
Jared didn't respond for a moment, but when he saw the sharp eyes of Kerr, he immediately reacted.
"I see. I'll call the driver right away."
Before Kerr lost his temper, Jared called the driver immediately. He relayed the answer to the currently
ill-tempered CEO.
"Mr. Gu, the driver said that he dropped off Miss Ning to the company an hour ago."
Sunny walked in with a file in her hand and heard Jared reporting to Kerr. Suppressing the anger in her
heart, she pretended to say inadvertently,
"You're looking for Director Ning? I saw her get picked up by a car just now. It seemed to be a silver
Rolls Royce phantom. I didn't see the license plate number."
After Kerr and Nicole left the company yesterday, she overheard the other employees gossiping in the
company for a whole day. She was stunned to hear that Nicole was not only seducing Kerr, but other
people as well.
Nicole didn't deserve him.
When he heard her, Kerr raised his head and looked at her suspiciously.
"Is that true?"
Kerr's angered face did not escape Sunny's eyes.
"Yes, I wanted to stop her, but before I could, she left immediately. I don't think it's appropriate for her to
go out during office hours."
She knew that if she said that she was concerned about Nicole, Kerr wouldn't believe her for sure, so
she pretended that she was making trouble for Nicole so that he would really believe her words.
"Confirm it,"
Kerr ordered Jared, and then lowered his head with anger in his eyes.
Was Nicole going with Baron? Was Baron the man she wanted to see upon waking up this morning?
After giving Sunny a meaningful look, Jared turned and walked out of the office.
In the washroom of Gu Group.
Nicole was exhausted and sat on the floor. She hadn't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon, and
drank a lot at night. She knew she threw up her stomach's contents, and she had nothing to eat this
morning.
She was getting weaker by the minute. She leaned against the door and tried to knock on it over and
over again, but her force was decreasing.
Helplessly, she could only talk to the door, hoping someone would hear her. "Open the door..."
Meanwhile, Ken entered the Gu Group dejectedly. Anyone could see that he was miserable. He did not
expect that his father would be so serious this time.
His father cut off his rights from the Qin Group, and even all the assets under Ken's name were taken.
He was stripped away of everything he owned. He thought his father was just bluffing, but it seemed
that the old man was serious this time.
Luckily, he still had a shot by talking to Kerr.
