Sunny had planned this for a very long time. She definitely couldn't let Nicole swoop in at the last
minute and reap the reward!
Nicole, however, tightened her grip on Kerr's hand and broke into a run as soon as she heard Sunny's
voice. She pulled him into the elevator and quickly pressed a button.
"Nicole, where are you going with Kerr?!" Sunny screeched as she ran to the elevator, but it was too
late.
The elevator doors closed smoothly, blocking out Sunny's voice.
Nicole finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was only able to relax for a moment.
After all, Kerr was still drugged. He could feel the drug swallowing his sanity, but he made no attempt to
fight it.
Instead, he pushed Nicole to a corner of the elevator and pressed his hand on the wall next to her face.
Then, he lowered his head and kissed her passionately.
He was strong enough to resist the effects of the drug, but when it came to Nicole, he didn't want to.
The elevator stopped at the first floor. When the doors opened, Jared was astounded by what he saw.
"Mr. Gu..."
Upon hearing Jared's voice, Nicole put her hands on Kerr's shoulders and tried to push him away.
However, he was so strong that he didn't even budge.
It was only when she felt like she was about to suffocate that he finally pulled away and gave her a
chance to breathe.
"Mr. Kang, hurry up! Pull him away!"
If she didn't escape from Kerr right now, she had a feeling that he would never let her go.
"Director Ning, what happened to Mr. Gu?" Jared asked hesitantly as he stepped forward.
However, he didn't dare to touch Kerr or pull him away.
Having been with Kerr for a long time, he knew him well, so he directly walked into the elevator and
pressed the button that would take them to the floor of Kerr's private suite.
"Hold on, Director Ning,"
he said comfortingly.
Realizing she was on her own, Nicole placed on her hands on Kerr's cheeks and tried to shake him out
of his trance, but it seemed impossible.
When the elevator doors opened again, Kerr put his arms around Nicole's waist and, in one swift
motion, lifted her up and carried her outside, completely ignoring Jared. In a matter of moments, the
two of them were inside Kerr's suite.
"What are you trying to do? Kerr! I'm warning you, don't do anything stupid!"
Nicole said anxiously as Kerr threw her onto the bed.
In response, Kerr unbuttoned his shirt, took it off, and threw it onto the ground. Slowly, he was losing
his senses.
He walked to the bed and grabbed Nicole's ankle before forcefully pulling her toward him.
"Ah!"
The night passed slowly under Nicole's moans until she gradually lost consciousness.
She kept telling herself that nothing bad would happen. Besides, she wanted to take this night as a
payment for what Kerr did to her seven years ago. After all, she was the one who was drugged seven
years ago.
Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight carressed her face, Nicole sleepily raised her hand in
an attempt to block the sunlight. She wanted to turn over, but an aching pain in her body made her
frown slightly.
Seeing the woman in his arms frown, Kerr lowered his head and gently kissed the center of Nicole's
forehead to soothe her.
It was only then that Nicole realized that she wasn't alone on the bed. She slowly opened her eyes and
saw Kerr looking at her with a faint smile on his face.
Her eyes widened further as Kerr straightened up and gently kissed her cheek.
"Why don't you get some more sleep?" he asked gently.
His words made Nicole feel awkward. She had planned to sneak out after he fell asleep, but it turned
out that she had fallen asleep first.
She had already cursed him thousands of times in her heart, but when she looked at his affectionate
eyes, she couldn't say a word to blame him.
"Were you up all night? How are you feeling?"
She didn't know what kind of drug Kerr had consumed, but it seemed to have kept him up all night. She
couldn't even remember when he had stopped tormenting her.
Ignoring her questions, Kerr said, "See, you're injured. Next time, don't play such games with me. I
won't be able to control myself. If you get injured worse than this, I will be very upset."
It was true that he hadn't slept at all last night. It was only at dawn that the effect of the drug had slowly
faded away. However, when he had looked at Nicole's sleeping face, he hadn't been willing to sleep at
all. Deep down, he had been worried that she would sneak away like that woman seven years ago.
So, he had just patiently waited for her to wake up. He had never thought that he could feel happy just
looking at someone, but just now, staring at Nicole's face while she had slept peacefully had given him
pure joy.
"I wasn't playing games! I'm not the one who drugged you. It was Sunny. I saw her give the drug and
some money to a waiter. Then, she asked him to give you the wine," Nicole blurted out.
She didn't think it was any of her business, but she didn't want Kerr to get the wrong idea.
Besides, for some reason, at the thought of Sunny ending up on Kerr's bed, an unspeakable
depression grew in her heart.
That was why she was in such an awkward situation in the first place.
"Then why are you the one in my bed in the end? Why did you stay?"
Kerr didn't care who had drugged him. The only thing he knew for sure was that the woman in his arms
right now was the woman he had had his eyes on for a long time. It didn't matter how they had ended
up here. This was the result that he had always wanted, so he could allow a little mistake to happen in
the process.
"I..."
Hearing his question, Nicole did not know what to say.
Was it just that she didn't want to see Kerr fall into Sunny's trap? Or was this what she really wanted?
She didn't think either of those reasons was the right reason, but she really didn't want the events of
last night to bring them together.
"Is it because you didn't want me to be with Sunny? Admit it, Nicole. You've falllen in love with me,"
Kerr said firmly, as if he had already known what was on Nicole's mind. Only if she cared about him
from the bottom of her heart would she be so bold as to disclose what Sunny had been planning.
The smile on Kerr's face left her speechless. When she heard him say those words, she felt like her
thoughts were exposed for the world to see.
