The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 184

Nicole was sitting beside Kerr, holding his hand. Her voice remained calm and playful as she spoke. But he still wouldn't respond.

Leaning her head against his, she said, "I'm willing to try because of you. But you have to promise not to keep me waiting for too long, ok?"

Although there was no answer, she knew that Kerr had heard her.

After dinner, Nicole went straight to the study, and Jared followed her there. He got a little nervous, looking down at the schedule Kerr had planned before.

According to it, there were a lot of business banquets to be attended. But Kerr was still asleep, and Nicole couldn't work that hard. Jared didn't see how they could meet all these appointments now.

"What's wrong?" Nicole looked up and saw the discomfort on Jared's face.

As soon as she asked, Jared handed the schedule to her. "Here's the thing, Miss Ning, these are the appointments Master Kerr made. I've canceled the ones I could, except for a few, which are really..."

In fact, Kerr could afford not to attend these events if he didn't want to, but this was before he had agreed to them.

Now not showing up wouldn't look good on the Gu Group's reputation.

Nicole looked through the arrangements and nodded. "It's okay. I can go to these events, they are not too heavy. It's just that I can't drink. It will be better for me to leave early."

She knew that if there was any other way, Jared would have found it for her already. But now there was nothing he could do.

Jared simply nodded in agreement. Given the schedule, there would be a business dinner the next evening, which he would arrange everything she needed in advance.

Next, Nicole handed a project over to Jared. "This is what Kerr valued the most before the accident. Half of it is finished already, but you must keep an eye on it. Don't make any mistakes."

She wanted to do her best to protect what truly mattered to Kerr.

"Yes, I know."

Once Jared took the folder from Nicole, he looked at the image of these enormous entertainment facilities under construction and couldn't help peeking at Nicole.

"What is it?" Nicole sensed Jared's strange gaze over her and asked.

"You may not know of this, Miss Ning, but Master intended to make this place the biggest entertainment club in the world.

Only after he met you, he decided to build the largest amusement park instead. He hoped that you and your children could enjoy it one day."

Jared remembered that when Kerr had made this decision, he and Nicole weren't a couple yet, but he still changed his plans as if he had anticipated he would be with her eventually.

The moment Nicole heard Jared's words, a bright smile showed up on her lips. She didn't expect that Kerr would consider her on every project he took. But maybe that was the reason she felt safe around him.

"Come here!" Moore raised his hand and motioned for Lily to get into his arms.

Lily stared at his slender and beautiful hand. It inspired nothing but fear in her. Still, she made her way to Moore with no hesitation and said, "Director Gu, please, let me go. I'm just an assistant."

"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you as long as you obey me. There is still something I need your help with." Resting his hands on Lily's shoulder, Moore whispered what he wanted in her ear.

Immediately, Lily widened her eyes in shock and repeated his request out loud, "Do you want me to steal documents from Nicole?" Only now did Lily understand why Moore told her to work beside Nicole.

Looking at Lily's astonished face, Moore gently caressed her cheek with his fingers and threatened her, "It's better if you obey me. Otherwise, those photos you're so worried about will be sent to your parents and your boyfriend."

Early the next morning, Lily woke up with a phone call from Nicole.

Very carefully, she put the phone on her ear. "Nicole? What's wrong?"

Nicole was sitting at her dining table, drinking milk. "I have something to do before coming to the company, so I'll be late. Could you help me organize the documents on my desk? I'll need them when I arrive today."

Lily nodded her head and replied, "Of course. Don't worry." After she hung up, Lily heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she was about to stand up, she felt an arm grabbing her around the waist.

"Do you remember what I told you last night?" Moore warned Lily, his eyes full of menace.
