"Get out!"
Hearing his cold voice, Sunny felt her body tremble all over with fear. She watched him clench his jaw. Knowing that he would have a fit, she ran out directly without saying another word and caring about her appearance.
Jared efficiently selected a shirt from the wardrobe and handed it to Kerr. When he saw him putting it on, his expression turned clouded and dispirited. All his words just now were in vain.
"Mr. Gu, no wonder that Director Ning misunderstood your relationship. It's so easy to let people's imagination run wild here..."
he said on impulse despite knowing the fact that Kerr was currently boiling with anger. Though it was quite obvious, it was just a trick well-played by Sunny.
Suddenly aware of the sharp gaze coming from Kerr, Jared shut up immediately. He didn't dare to finish what he was about to say further.
Kerr purposely picked up the documents brought by Nicole a while ago. Giving it a brief glance, he promptly affixed his name and signature. His expression held a tinge of worry, but he quickly concealed it as he sauntered towards her office.
Having learned the stubbornness of that woman, he knew that it was impossible to summon her to his office. Since Nicole had come to him twice today, he didn't mind looking for her himself.
"Where is Director Ning?"
he sternly asked. He was standing in front of Nicole's office, but she was not around. His eyes became dim when he noticed Lily doing some cleaning up in her desk.
Lily gasped when she suddenly heard a voice behind her. Still looking startled, she turned around and faced Mr. Gu. His unreadable expression made her stammer,
"Mr. Gu...Miss Ning said that she was not feeling well and just asked for leave to go home."
Lily was also curious. She had seen Nicole, looking unhappy after coming back from Kerr's office and directed her to ask for leave.
"How long has she been gone?"
he urged impatiently. He was more than upset, but he carefully hid the unsettling emotion inside.
"Not long ago."
He didn't waste another second. He hastily turned around and walked straight towards his private elevator. His eyes darted towards the red number blinking at the top of the elevator door. He remained his gaze fixed on it as he mentally counted the floor as he descended. But it seemed that it wa
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.
tle sister had a lot of misunderstandings about her when she met her last time.
"Bonnie is not at home? She is still at school, isn't she?"
Just as soon as she asked, the door opened. Bonnie casually walked in, with a key dangling in her hand. She let out a small gasp, the moment she lifted her face, she was shocked.
"Why are you here?"
Bonnie demanded. Her cold voice made Nicole's smile froze.
"Bonnie, don't talk to your sister in that way,"
Sandra scolded her and stared at her angrily.
"I come here to see you. It's getting late, and I'm leaving. I'll come to see you again when I have time, dear Auntie."
Nicole politely said goodbye and then made her way towards the door. But when she passed by Bonnie, she threw her a meaningful look.
"Let me walk you out."
Bonnie heeded it and hurriedly put the key on the table before following her downstairs.
"What are you doing here? If you have something to say, just say it now. Don't come here again. Mom didn't know what happened at the Good Times that day. Don't say anything more."
she hissed worriedly. She didn't know if Nicole had told her mom everything, but she just instinctively warned her. In the past seven years, she and Nicole had their own ways of living. She no longer needed her pretentious kindness at all.
"Bonnie, I know you misunderstood me. At that time, the Ning Group had just gone bankrupt, and my father had passed away. Then all of a sudden, I received an offer from Manhattan University. I just don't want to face it all, so I went abroad."
