The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 30

Jared anxiously ran after Kerr immediately. He broke into a cold sweat when he saw Kerr stopping at the door of the ladies' room.

"Mr. Gu, I'll ask someone to go into the room right away."

Recovered from his initial shock, he quickly spun around. He intended to call for a female colleague, but then Kerr gestured him to stay put.

"Nicole, do you want to come out by yourself or want me to get you out?"

Kerr demanded as he exuded a manly composure. The certainty in his voice showed that he actually knew what exactly he was doing.

He didn't intend to walk in by himself, because he was positive that she would step out herself. But if she remained stubborn, he would take it as she wanted him to invite her in person, then that he wouldn't mind.

Still hiding in the ladies' room, Nicole was startled when she heard Kerr's well-modulated voice. Her face automatically turned in the direction of the door with her eyes wide open. Uh-oh! Now, she was getting the creeps.

Her thoughts ran wild as she seemed to visualize that there was an expressionless face behind that door. She sucked in her breath. She didn't expect that Kerr could downright come to the comfort room to find her. Staring back at her reflection in the mirror, she urged herself to relax and think clearly. She convinced herself that there was no way the CEO of the Gu Group would barge into a ladies' room.

Patiently waiting at the door, Kerr didn't hear any footsteps at all, and she was not even making any sounds. His eyes suddenly lit up. But as a sly smile started to curl in his mouth, he immediately pressed his lips into a thin line, afraid he would burst out laughing.

"Nicole, your last chance is three times left. If you don't come out, I will go in.

Three."

Then Nicole's taut voice reverberated in the room.

"I don't believe you'll dare to come in!"

"Two."

Nicole was on edge already. She faintly heard Kerr's footsteps getting closer and closer to the door. And it looked like he randomly positioned himself, ready to open the door once he reached out his hand.

Looking helpless, finally, she gave in. She couldn't calm down anymore. She hastily pinched her nose and purposely made her voice sounded sharp.

"Nicole is not here."

Hearing the sound from the washroom, a hint of understanding appeared in Kerr's eyes. Fighting the urge to laugh, he directly pushed the door open and unceremoniously strode in.

Realizing Kerr's sudden action, Jared immediately raised his hand to conceal his face before quickly turning around. He could only think that Nicole was such a fool to expose herself by making that sound.

"You... You haven't counted down to one yet,"

Nicole stammered, too startled when Kerr showed up in front of her. If she hadn't been strong-minded, she must have fainted with fear.

"One,"

he spat out offhandedly as he looked at Nicole with tenderness in his eyes.

There had never been a woman that made him feel so funny. Looking at her shocked expression, he had a feeling of something peculiar that he couldn't tell and pinpoint what. Her eyes were pure and devoid of any mischiefs, though.

If he hadn't seen Jay in person, he would never have believed that she already had a seven-year-old son, while she was still like a child herself.

When she sensed that he was taking the moment for granted, she could feel the blood surging on her head and was about to faint.

"Watch out!"

he blurted out as he dashed towards her. Without even looking at her, he picked her up and carried her to the door.

"Wait! Wait a minute! Put me down. We are inside the company premises. I don't know what others will think if they see you carry me out like this!"

she yelled hysterically. She instinctively reached out and patted Kerr's shoulder. Then she jumped out from his arms. Her face blushed, feeling quite embarrassed.
