The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 3

During the car ride, Baron laughed and joked constantly, which made Nicole feel more at ease. The company she was going to work at here had found her a place to stay. Baron came over to the airport to pick Nicole and Jay up. On top of that, he even accompanied them to the supermarket so that they could buy some necessities. Afterwards, Baron gave Nicole a meaningful look.

"You know what? I remember telling you that as long as I was in the Fang Group, I could easily get you a job. I don't understand why you'd go to the Gu Group. Don't you know what a terrible person Kerr Gu is?" he remarked, half serious and half teasing.

"Come on! If I did that, you'd constantly use me as your fake girlfriend,"

Nicole teased with a smile as she pushed the shopping cart along the aisles.

"Besides, isn't it time that you found yourself a girlfriend? Filling in those shoes is getting a bit tedious for me already," she added.

'Well, if you're getting tired, maybe you'd like to act as my real girlfriend instead...'

Baron thought in his heart. There was not enough courage inside of him to tell Nicole how he truly felt. He hated himself for his cowardice. With a bitter smile, he quickly caught up with Nicole.

After getting to their new home, Nicole and Jay felt tired, and so they went straight to bed. The next morning, she contacted the headmaster of Jay's new school to let them know that they had arrived. With a pleased tone, the headmaster said that one of their best teachers would drop by her house to come pick Jay up. When they found out that such a talented child was going to enroll at their school, they laughed so happily.

Nicole was a little worried about how her son was going to do in a new place, but he was so mature for his age! He was even helping Nicole do a little tidying up.

"Mom, you'd better worry about yourself rather than me. Today is your first day to work. You should do your job well. I don't want to starve to death!"

"You naughty boy!"

Nicole laughed as she stared down at the little boy. When Jay got picked up for school, Nicole took a taxi to the Gu Group. Upon arriving, Nicole couldn't help but think that the infamous president of this company had good taste. The whole floor was made out of glass, making it look so simple yet elegant. There was only one problem...

'How am I going to walk on this!?'

Nicole looked at her 8 cm high heels helplessly. She secretly admired those women in front of her who were walking over the floor as fast as flying. She gritted her teeth and took a determined step forward. Just as she made her first step, she slipped on the slick floor.

'Damn it! This really had to happen to me on my first day of work!?'

There was no helping it now. Nicole tightly closed her eyes and braced for the fall. But the next second, a pair of powerful arms held onto her.

Peering open her eyes slightly, Nicole felt that the man looked slightly familiar...

As soon as she raised her head, she saw his deep and cold face. It was like he was perfect sculpture carved by an adept craftsman. As she tried to think about where she saw this man before, the man carefully released her. He saw the way she was staring at his face, and raised an eyebrow at her.

"Have you done staring?"

'Shit! What am I doing!' Nicole fumbled. Standing straight up, she straightened out her clothes and put on an elegant smile.

"Thank you, sir."
