The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 47

"I'm glad he's not angry. I'm on my way to work. I got drunk yesterday and didn't go home. But how did Jay know that I was with Kerr?"

When she heard that Jay went to school, she breathed a sigh of relief. But she was confused. She had no idea that Kerr would be in the bar, and how on earth did her son know that they were together?

"He sent Jared to pick him up from school yesterday. Are you thinking clearly? How did you get drunk with Kerr? What if he finds out he is Jay's father? Are you going to stay with him then?"

Baron was befuddled. The girl on the other end of the phone insisted that she wanted nothing but for Kerr Gu to stay away from her and her son, but here she was in the aftermath of drinking with that same man.

He worried that Nicole had fallen into Kerr's trap, so he reminded her of her son.

He knew that mentioning Jay could easily bring Nicole back to reality.

"No, I wasn't in the right state of mind. But you are far more distressed than I am. I know I went overboard with drinking last night. I won't do that again. Don't worry about me. I can handle it.

I'm headed to work now. I'll treat you to dinner later as thanks for taking care of Jay last night."

After she hung up the phone, she looked at the driver in front of her, and it seemed he didn't hear any part of the conversation regarding the relationship between Jay and Kerr. She sighed in relief. Remembering what transpired earlier, however, she was still bothered with how Kerr left angrily this morning.

She didn't expect that Kerr would take care of her drunken self and didn't take advantage of her. The things that she said to him this morning left her feeling regretful, after hearing what happened from the maid.

But she couldn't take back what she said. She knew she had to apologize to Kerr. After all, she was wrong to say those horrible words to him.

When the car stopped at the gate of the Gu Group, Nicole expressed her thanks to the driver and went straight into the company.

The driver watched her disappear into the building and dialed a number.

"My Lord,

Miss Ning is in the Gu Group now."

"Okay, I know," the person on the other end of the line said.

When Nicole entered the Gu Group, she felt uneasy. A murderous aura surrounded her. It seemed that she was being watched. When she checked her appearance in the bathroom, she didn't find anything that was out of place.

So she made her way towards the door, but when she turned the knob, she found it locked from outside.

"Who's there? Is this a trick? It's not funny. Please open the door!"

She tried hard to turn the doorknob, she turned it several times to try and get it to budge but she was unsuccessful. It became very quiet. She pressed her ear against the door and heard the sound of shoes walking away.

Someone was testing her patience, but who could it be? She didn't know who she had offended. She took out her phone, but when she was about to call for help, it ran out of power and shut down.

"Damn it!"

Nicole leaned against the wall in defeat. All she could do now was hope that someone would find her as soon as possible.

On the other side of the door, Sunny put the "out of order" sign in front of the washroom's door, then threw the key in the trash can and left immediately to prevent suspicion.

In the CEO's office, Kerr looked at the documents in his hand with a gloomy face, which led to Jared becoming wary of his actions, even going so far as to holding his breath so as not to irritate his boss.

He didn't know what was wrong, but he sensed his fury when he came to the company earlier this morning. He guessed that Kerr must have suffered a blow from Nicole.

"Where is she?"
