The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 6

She looked up and nodded upon seeing the professional look on Jared's face. She didn't think too much about it, but it was what he said next that made her nervous.

"There will be a dinner with the presidents of the Chu Group and the Gu Group tonight. A driver will pick you up downstairs at six o'clock in the evening."

If the president of the Chu Group was also part of this project, then the representative of the Gu Group definitely should not be a small director like her. She stared at the serious expression on Jared's face as her thoughts raced in her mind.

But before she could even open her mouth to reply, Jared had already turned around and left.

After he walked out of Nicole's office, Jared wiped the cold sweat on his forehead as a curious look appeared on his face under his black framed glasses.

At 5:50 in the afternoon, Nicole found herself standing in the restroom of the Gu Group's building while staring at her reflection in the mirror. She was dressed in a conservative but dignified black business suit.

By all means, she looked nothing short of a standard professional woman. Satisfied with her appearance, Nicole confidently smiled at herself in the mirror.

The moment she arrived at the parking lot, she immediately saw the black Rolls Royce with the special logo of the Gu Group and briskly walked towards the car.

The driver caught sight of Nicole, and immediately got out of the car to open the door to the backseat of the car. She gave the driver a slight nod and thanked him before getting into the car.

However, when her eyes fell upon the man sitting inside the car, she suddenly wanted to run away.

"Mr. Gu?"

Without opening his eyes to look at Nicole, Kerr merely hummed a single syllable in reply.

"Yes."

Ever since she found out that Kerr was Jay's father, she had instinctively done everything she could to avoid him. She just didn't think that a man like him was suitable to be Jay's father.

She was well aware of how dangerous it was for her to spend time with Kerr.

Nicole could feel how nervous and shaky her breathing was. She tried to occupy as little space as possible and stay as far away from Kerr as she could on the backseat.

The air in the car was filled with dead silence, making Nicole feel even more awkward. Then, all of a sudden, the sound of a mobile phone ringing broke the silence.

She hurriedly took out her phone and was shocked to see the phone number on the screen. Apparently, she had forgotten to tell Jay that there was a banquet she had to attend tonight.

"What time will you be home?"

Jay was standing in front of the fridge while looking at the food Baron had prepared for him and Nicole. He looked just like a small adult.

"I'm sorry, Jay. I have a very important appointment tonight, so I won't be home for dinner. I'll call uncle Fang and ask him to eat with you. Is that okay?"

Despite the fact that Jay was very smart for his age, he was still just a six-year-old child, and Nicole was not comfortable with leaving him all alone at home.

When they were in Manhattan, she spent all of her free time from school and work on Jay. However, when they returned to the city, she no longer had a lot of time to spend with him.

Jay closed the fridge door and frowned.

"No, I don't want that. Uncle Fang always treats me like a child. I can stay at home by myself. Don't drink too much. You need to be home before I fall asleep."

Nicole found Jay's words both funny and a little bit annoying. It seemed as if she was the child that needed taking care of and Jay was the adult.

"Okay, I'll try."
