The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 53

Nicole had no plans of hiding this from Baron. On one hand, she had to take care of her son, and on the other, she had to work hard. Even though her son was very smart and didn't worry her much, she still was very busy taking care of everything on her own.

Baron knew that Nicole was by no means a sluggish person when it came to her work, and if the project attracted her attention so much, then it must really be important.

"What kind of project is it that has you so interested?"

After hearing Baron's question, Nicole showed him the folder in her hand.

"There is a bidding event that is going to be held in the city, and the Gu Group is involved."

With his hands still on the steering wheel, Baron shot the documents in Nicole's hands a casual glance, and he couldn't help but feel stunned at what he saw.

"Did Kerr ask you to take charge of this project?"

He didn't expect Kerr to care so much about Nicole, or have any kind of ulterior motive. By any means, this was definitely not a good thing for him.

Because he didn't want to treat Nicole as an opponent at all.

"Don't tell me that Fang Group is also involved in the bid."

When she caught the surprise in Baron's voice, Nicole was also surprised herself. However, when she thought of the position of Fang Group in A City, she thought it was just reasonable that the Fang Group was also involved.

Although Fang Group was nowhere near as powerful as the Gu Group, it was still a very important enterprise in A City. The bidding that was about to take place was sure to be crowded with many big companies.

All of a sudden, Nicole felt an overwhelming sense of pressure. After all, she was the representative of the entire Gu Group this time, and the last thing she wanted was to cause any kind of damage to the company because of her mistakes or inadequacy.

What was more, if she made a mistake, it would give others the chance to question Kerr's decision, and she would very much hate to disgrace him.

"Yes, and I am the person in charge."

His tone was full of helplessness. Baron had been persuading Nicole to work for the Fang Group for so long in the hope that she wouldn't ever be his competitor.

However, things didn't go as he expected, and what was worse, all the things he had been worried about came true.

"Well, let's see who will be the winner this time. Be careful. I won't show any mercy."

A smile found its way to Nicole's face.

She had known Baron for such a long time, and she knew that no matter who won the bidding, her relationship with Baron would stay the same. After all, their friendship, and their respective jobs were two separate things.

On top of that, there was no way she would deliberately give up on the bidding just because of Baron. She knew she didn't want to fail Kerr.

And this time, the bidding was very important to the Gu Group.

"Me too."

As he looked at the side of Nicole's face, Baron found himself in a trance.

In all the time he knew Nicole, she had always been very optimistic. When he first found Nicole pregnant at such a young age, he was very much surprised.

But Nicole was still very calm.

In hindsight though, he liked this side of Nicole—the hardworking, determined one. But Nicole was unaware of his feelings for her.

Kerr had parked his car in front of Nicole's apartment building. He finally felt relieved when he saw Baron's car drive away after Nicole had led Jay to go upstairs with her.

When he saw the alienation between Baron and Nicole, he started having doubts about whether Baron was really Jay's father.

"Have you gotten any results regarding the thing I asked you to investigate?" Kerr asked Jared.
