If she misinterpreted the relationship between Mr. Gu and Sunny at this point of time, Mr. Gu might really lose his hope to win Nicole's heart. He probably would not even have a chance to explain himself.
Hearing Jared's utterance, Nicole was stunned. She looked a little bit embarrassed, but the anger in her chest seemed to disappear little by little.
"Why on earth did you tell me that? You know it is none of my business, right? Whoever Mr. Gu chooses to keep in the company has no connection to me. I just want to make sure that the flow of work here is not affected because of some insignificant personal affairs."
She sounded cold and it seemed as if she didn't care about Kerr. She was unfazed by all the recent developments. But though she said this aloud, the anger in her eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced by a dash of happiness that she didn't even notice herself.
"Yes, Miss Ning, you couldn't be more accurate on this. I just feel sorry for Mr. Gu because after all he is a good man. It must be nerve-wrecking to get pestered by someone you don't like all the time."
Looking at the relieved expression on Nicole's face, with an understanding smile on his face, Jared seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually speaking to her. This way, he was helping Kerr, somewhat.
If Mr. Gu could win her heart in the end with his help, his salary would be hiked surely! He must ask Mr. Gu to raise his salary for him no matter what!
"Maybe,"
said Nicole and smiled uncomfortably. She felt unexpectedly embarrassed about the whole conversation. Without wasting any more time just as she turned around to go back to her office she heard Jared speak again.
"Isn't the file that you are handling a very urgent one? I guess Mr. Gu has signed the document by now. You may go and collect it. Lily need not come again."
Jared decided that it would be a great idea to seize the opportunity. Nicole's mood was better now. This would give Kerr a chance to say his piece to her in order to explain everything personally.
"Well, this document is really an urgent one."
Seeing no other way, she turned around and headed towards Kerr's office.
Standing in the bathroom, Kerr hung up the phone just as he finished. He then reached out to unbutton his shirt swiftly, took it off and threw it into the trash can casually. Then he turned on the tap and washed his hands thoroughly, and called out to Jared.
"Jared, get me my shirt from the wardrobe quickly," he said loudly.
In the office, hearing Kerr's voice, Sunny was beaming with joy and excitement. She could not care less about tidying up the coffee stains on her cl
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
lled him away bit by bit. Then she said in a cold and controlled tone,
"Mr. Gu, you don't need to explain anything to me. Neither am I bothered nor am I interested to get sucked into this weird cycle of misunderstanding anymore."
Sunny walked out of the bathroom in Kerr's shirt right at this moment. Her face was reddened and there were remnants of the tears on her cheeks. The shirt she wore was definitely over-sized. But instead of making her look awkward she appeared to be even more beautiful.
"Sunny, why don't you help me out here? Why don't you say what happened inside there?" Kerr pointed at the bathroom.
He was aware of the fact that Nicole might have misunderstood the relationship between him and Sunny. Therefore, it would be better that Sunny explained the whole thing. Now that he was present, she would definitely not even dare to lie.
Surprised by Kerr's direct question, she gasped. She lowered her head to hide the maliciousness in her eyes that she often used on people to get by her way.
She was right. When she saw the way Kerr treated Nicole, she understood that there was fondness there. When she sniffled, her voice was filled with sadness.
"Believe me, nothing happened between us..."
When Nicole heard Sunny, the misunderstanding in her heart didn't just vanish, instead she became more furious. She was surprised to see Sunny in Kerr's shirt when she turned around.
Then, she looked up to Kerr and met his worried eyes.
"Please get dressed first, Mr. Gu. Please be a responsible man. For heaven's sake don't do something so that I have to look down upon you."
Nicole quickly turned and left without another word.
Looking at the receding figure of Nicole, Kerr looked back at Sunny and his eyes became full of rage.
