The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 186

Jared put the files on the table and showed them to Nicole. This project was very important to the Gu Group. If all went well, it would bring a lot of profit to the company.

Nicole's eyes lit up the moment she examined the proposal. She had casually pitched this idea to Kerr before they started dating officially.

It never occurred to her that Kerr had paid attention to what she said, but now her idea was brought to its fullest in this business plan he developed.

"Take this so we can set it in motion." This project bore both Nicole's and Kerr's common ideas. She only hoped it would run smoothly.

Lily was still standing next to Nicole, holding the documents her temporary CEO needed. It didn't take her long to realize which project was the most precious to Nicole and the Gu Group.

Yet Lily hesitated. She knew that her actions would create great trouble, and there would be no way to come back from that.

"Do you have plans tonight?" Nicole asked Lily softly without tearing her attention off the papers she still had on her desk. She wanted to take Lily with her to the business party that night.

Despite Lily not having anything particularly remarkable about her, Nicole still thought she could train her.

Lily shook her head blankly and responded, "No, I have nothing planned. Why do you ask?"

"Well, since you don't have anything else to do, I want you to come with me to a business party tonight. I can present you to some people there that might turn out to be good for your future."

Lily's heart jolted in her chest as she listened to Nicole. Her offer only made her even more hesitant. She never thought that Nicole would be so considerate towards her.

However, Lily was still under Moore's threat and couldn't refuse this invitation. The fact that Nicole truly cared and was helping her only made Lily more uncomfortable with the situation she was in.

Nicole glanced at Lily so pensive. She had noticed that Lily seemed to have always something on her mind recently. But Nicole just shook her head slightly and didn't think further about the subject.

Night soon fell, but despite Nicole's wishes to go home and stay with Kerr, she had to attend this business party on his behalf.

That day she didn't put on any heavy makeup or high heels over three centimeters tall. Gladly, she wasn't a short woman.

She walked to the car parked downstairs, followed by Lily and Jared when suddenly she noticed a man coming towards them. Nicole looked at Lily and saw her astonished expression as she watched that figure approaching.

"Why are you here?" Lily took a step closer to the man, both embarrassed and surprised.

He looked down at Lily's dress and realized it must be quite expensive. Then he said ironically, "If I didn't come, when would you come home?"

Nicole looked between Lily and the man and smiled. "I'll wait for you in the car. I'm not in a hurry, there's still time." Right after she said that, Nicole got inside the car.

Once she was settled, Jared glanced at Lily one more time before he took the driver's seat. Then he turned to Nicole and said, "Miss Ning, we're going to be late." Their time was already tight when they left the building.

Nicole looked at the young couple out of the window and decided to give them more time.

"We'll wait."
