The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 58

"What's on your mind?"

On the way to Nicole's apartment, Kerr found her deep in thought and decided to break her away from it.

"Not much. I'm just relieved that Bonnie has finally forgiven me. Thank you for what you did for me last night. I know why you urged me to go there. I really appreciate it. At least, I know that she's safe. My worries about my sister are put to rest."

Turning her head, she gazed at the handsome profile of Kerr. Although he had never said a word, she knew that what he had done was all for her.

In any case, from Kerr's perspective, it was totally unnecessary to get involved in Bonnie's problems. She could continue lying to herself until the end of time, but she knew that all that Kerr did was for her sake.

She was grateful to him, and because of it, her view on her boss' cold-blooded nature was diminishing quickly.

If she were to be honest with herself, since she met Kerr, he had done nothing but care for her, from her well-being to familial matters. But the fact of the matter was, Kerr attracted a lot of women that she couldn't help but be wary of him.

"I'm glad to hear that."

Kerr felt some weight lifted from his chest. She was starting to open up to him, and he considered that as a huge step forward.

It didn't matter to him that he'd never made such an effort towards a woman before, and he believed she was worth all the spent energy.

When he saw the satisfied look on her face, Kerr's heart leaped upon seeing the most beautiful smile in the world.

"We're here. Thanks for bringing me home. You should go back and rest. Don't worry about the bidding. I will do my best. The Gu Group cannot miss such a good opportunity."

Nicole's face glowed with sincerity and determination. She knew that winning the bid was the best way to show her gratitude towards Kerr.

Anything other than her work as a form of thanks wasn't an option.

"Don't push yourself too hard. Although the Gu Group values this opportunity for the cooperation, it isn't necessary to put too much pressure on your shoulders."

Although he wanted to give Nicole a chance to prove herself, he didn't want her to wear herself out. That was the last thing that he'd want.

"It's almost dawn. Get some rest. I'll ask for a leave for you."

Outside, the sun had risen. Kerr suddenly regretted that he involved Nicole with last night's incident, and in turn, she did not have a good rest.

"That's not necessary. I'm fine. Nothing should get in the way of my work. I know what I'm doing. See you later!"

Although Nicole was exhausted, she did not have the right to complain. She wasn't a child anymore. She couldn't be coddled. Having Jay helped her grow up quickly.

Without giving him a chance to answer, she got out of the car and trotted upstairs.

She couldn't deny that Kerr really was a lady-magnet who could attract anyone, and Nicole was powerless against him.

With her back against the door as she closed it, she took a deep breath.

She felt her face burning and covered it with her hands.

"If you were with Uncle Gu, I forgive you for staying out all night."
