Nicole stopped midway, and turned around slowly. "I've received the notice from the Manhattan University. I got into Business Management. I was thinking about how I to break the news to you, but now you've made it so much easier! And, before I leave, I have one other thing to tell you..."
Nicole paused, amused at how Fiona looked so jealous at that moment. "I stayed in Room 1101 last night."
Meanwhile, in Room 1101, Kerr was sitting on the bedside and looked at the money in front of him with a sullen face.
He even counted the money twice. It was 2462. 'Did that woman shell out all the money she had on me?' Kerr thought incredulously.
He had lived for more than 20 years, but he had never seen such a woman who was so audacious. She left money and ran away!
Anger rose in his heart. With a cold face, he called his assistant.
"Ask the hotel manager to get the surveillance video. I want to find someone who was in my room last night."
The assistant's obsequious voice on the other end of the phone rambled on as Kerr's eyes narrowed at something small glinting on one of the pillows. It was a small studded earring. A foreboding look flashed in his eyes.
'When I find that unscrupulous woman, I'm going to teach her a lesson!'
At an airport several years later...
A flight delayed more than half an hour because of the weather. The people in the hall were starting to get somewhat impatient. There was a man in a light gray shirt, however, who looked especially calm. He wore gold rimmed glasses, and looked gentle and handsome, attracting most people's attention.
'Is that Baron Fang?' Several girls around had recognized that this handsome gentleman was the heir of the Fang Group, which ranked second in A city. In all of the city, the Fang family was only considered inferior against the Gu family. But even so, it didn't really matter since they were still incredibly rich. "Aaah! He's so handsome!" a girl squealed in a hushed voice.
It was no doubt that Baron Fang was much more amiable than the ice man, Kerr Gu!
It wasn't every day that anyone could just meet Baron. A woman strode over to him to seize this opportunity. The woman hesitated for a while. She was beautiful, and was wearing a gorgeous Valentino dress. Gathering up her courage, she smiled at Baron and cautiously introduced herself.
"Hello there, Mr. Baron. I was wondering if you would do me the honor of having a cup of coffee with me."
"Well, I'm lucky to receive such a beautiful lady's invitation,"
Baron said as he smiled mildly. "But I'm sorry. The person I'm waiting for has already come."
When they looked in the direction he pointed, a beautiful girl in her mid-twenties was walking up to him. She had long hair hanging over her shoulders, and had no makeup on her face. Even her clothes were clean and simple -- a simple white shirt and faded, blue jeans. Despite her simplicity, she stood out in the crowd. It was none other than Nicole.
Strangely enough, she only carried her bag on one hand... Beside her, a cute and innocent boy tottered after her, dragging a small suitcase.
As soon as Nicole came out, she noticed that that young woman was looking at her enviously and hatefully. 'That guy is a dead man for using me as his stupid shield again!'
She was cursing in her heart how Baron made her so angry, but she still pretended to be a sweet wife and good mother and smiled sweetly. She quickly walked forward, held Baron's hand and called him in a soft voice.
