And she seemed to have no good reason to reject Kerr as well.
Jay made a face at Nicole, and obediently went to eat his breakfast.
After dropping off Jay at his school, Nicole finally arrived at the company with two minutes to spare.
She made herself a cup of coffee to refresh herself and braced herself to start preparing the bidding
plan.
"Director Ning, this is the data file you asked for. Don't you want to rest for a while? It's already noon
now."
Lily put the file on Nicole's desk and watched her as she worked nonstop.
"I still have some work left. You go and have lunch first."
Nicole fixed her eyes on the computer screen. She would have finished reading all of the information
last night if she hadn't been interrupted by the accident. What was more, this was the only time she had
to finish everything since she had to go to the hospital tonight to visit Bonnie.
Therefore, she had to make full use of every single minute.
Lily nodded at Nicole's words and walked towards the canteen of the company.
Meanwhile, in the CEO Office of Gu Group
"Mr. Gu, Miss Ning is still working."
Jared reviewed the surveillance video and saw that Nicole had not left her office since she came in that
morning.
"Go and prepare some lunch."
As Kerr put down his pen, he suddenly heard a text alert from his phone. He immediately picked up his
phone to read it.
He couldn't help but smile when he noticed the disappointment in the text message.
"It's been such a long time, and you still haven't made Mommy fall for you. You really disappoint me,
Uncle Gu."
Sitting in the school canteen, Jay held his phone in his hands and waited for a reply from Kerr. He
thought about what he should do all morning until he finally decided to give Kerr a reminder. He had a
feeling that Kerr wouldn't give up on his mom so easily.
"I won't let you down."
To be perfectly honest, he actually didn't plan on making Nicole his woman so soon, but apparently,
there was someone even more anxious than he was.
If he didn't take action now, he would be the laughing stock of a child.
With that, he stood up and started walking towards Nicole's office.
Nicole clicked the last data closed and glimpsed at her watch. She still had twenty minutes before her
lunch break ended. Now was a good time for her to take a nap.
Nicole slumped over her desk, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in no time.
She had been drinking coffee just to stay awake the entire morning, and now that she could finally
relax, it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
Kerr stopped right before the door to Nicole's office. When he saw her bent over the computer in
exhaustion through the glass window, he immediately asked Jared to find a spare key.
He opened the door as gently as he could. The last thing he wanted was to disturb the sleeping beauty
in the room.
He walked up to her and noticed the faint smile playing on her face. She looked as if she was dreaming
of something wonderful, and Kerr didn't have the heart to wake her up.
He bent over, gently picked up Nicole, and walked towards his office.
It was not until he put Nicole on the bed in the lounge of his office that he finally felt relieved.
He looked at Nicole as she lay on the bed with an infinite amount of tenderness in his eyes. Then, he
gently tucked her in and gave her a kiss right on the corner of her mouth.
Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind. He took out his mobile phone and mischievously took a photo of
Nicole, the sleeping beauty. Once he was content with the photos he had taken, he stood up and left.
"Kerr..."
In her dream, when she saw the gentle look on Kerr's face, Nicole had a moment of weakness and
softly called out his name. But since he had already closed the door behind him, he didn't hear her call
out to him.
"Why do you have so many women? Don't you know that Jay is your son?"
In reality, she would never dare to ask him those questions—she could only do so in her dreams. After
all, in her dreams, Kerr was always so gentle with her.
Maybe this was what she was really expecting in her heart.
Meanwhile, Sunny entered the office with two lunch meals in her hands. The moment she got in, she
immediately saw Kerr coming out of the lounge.
"Kerr, how did you know that I didn't eat lunch today?"
She had been on the phone until just now, so she really didn't have time to eat lunch. She didn't expect
to receive lunch from anyone, let alone Kerr, and yet the person who handed her the lunch told her that
it was sent over by Kerr.
Therefore, she instinctively thought that Kerr wanted to have lunch with her. She could barely contain
her happiness. She finally had the chance to get close to him.
Upon hearing her words, Kerr didn't say anything. Instead, he merely returned to his desk and sat
down.
Jared walked into the office in a hurry, and was a little stunned when he saw the lunch in Sunny's
hands. He had to go and send out a document, so he asked another man to deliver the lunch.
When he saw the expression on Sunny's face, he immediately knew that there had been a
misunderstanding.
But based on the expression on Kerr's face, he felt that now wasn't the time to tell Sunny that the lunch
was meant for Nicole and Kerr.
"Miss He..."
Jared knew that if he didn't clear up the misunderstanding now, Kerr would be the one to get mad, and
he would definitely rather offend Sunny than Kerr. But before he could even start to explain, Kerr's
voice cut him off.
"It's lunch break. You and Jared can both go and have a rest."
Kerr fixed his eyes on the computer screen without giving Sunny so much as a glance in her direction.
He didn't mind waiting for Nicole to wake up before having lunch.
When she heard what Kerr said, the smile on Sunny's face slowly faded. But before she could say
anything in reply, she heard Jared talking to her.
"Miss He, it's time for us to take a nap. There should be a balance between work and rest."
Feeling like he had gotten an amnesty from Kerr, Jared took the food containers from her and led her
outside.
"Kerr, you haven't had lunch yet, have you?"
Sunny didn't give up. The reason she was working in this company was that she would seize any
chance to approach him.
"There will be an appointment later."
After the incident last time, Kerr had enough reason to fire Sunny, but when he realized that Nicole was
quite jealous of Sunny, he decided to keep her around for a while longer.
Maybe, with Sunny around, he would be able to win Nicole's heart faster.
Noticing the blank look on Kerr's face that said he didn't want to be disturbed, Sunny had no choice but
to turn around and leave.
After she left, Kerr looked up to stare at the lounge door, and as he thought of the woman behind that
door, he couldn't help but smile.
He took out his phone and sent the picture to Jay. A cunning look flashed in his eyes.
The boy didn't like his slow approach, huh? Then this was him speeding things up.
