"Don't worry, Mr. Chu. Everything has been taken care of."
The hotel manager was well-informed, and he knew for a fact that the Chu Group should not be neglected. Without wasting a moment more, he gestured for the person who had been standing by the door to come in.
Nicole shifted her gaze to see the person standing at the door, and her eyes widened in shock.
Fiona was clad in a small, pink mini dress with a strapless design that accentuated her hourglass figure.
The moment Nicole saw Fiona, she couldn't help but laugh to herself. Even though Fiona was still quite young seven years later, it was obvious that she had been through several vicissitudes in life.
Meanwhile, the smile on Fiona's face immediately faded when she caught sight of Nicole who was still sitting beside Kerr. She did, however, manage to regain her composure as she walked straight towards Jeremy's left side and took her seat.
She nodded slightly and inched closer to Jeremy.
"Hello, Mr. Chu. You can call me Fiona."
Kerr, on the other hand, immediately noticed the mockery in Nicole's eyes as he turned to look at her.
"Do you know each other?"
Nicole shook her head slightly.
It's not like she was completely lying. She really didn't know this Fiona. The only Fiona she recognized was the one from her childhood, and the moment Fiona and Gregory sent her to someone else's bed, she had decided to forget who they were.
Upon noticing the intimacy between Kerr and Nicole, Fiona's jealousy rose yet again. After all, anyone could tell that Kerr was the most important person in the private room.
Even though she had no idea about who Kerr was, she guessed he must be some big shot when seeing how respectful even Jeremy was towards him.
She had never been inferior to Nicole. However, the man beside Nicole was superior to the one beside her, but in terms of body and appearance, she had always been superior to Nicole.
"Hi, Nicole. It's been a long time, huh?"
Fiona raised her glass as she smiled at Nicole.
Kerr, of course, heard what Fiona said, but kept his expression blank. Deep inside, however, he knew that something interesting was about to happen.
"What do you mean it's been a long time? I don't understand. Do I know you?"
Nicole saw the hypocritical look on Fiona's face and cursed the world for being so small.
With the glass still in her grasp, Fiona's hand trembled a little and the smile on her face froze.
"Nicole, I've been worried about you since you left. After all, you just..."
"Wasn't it you and my ex-boyfriend who sold me out? What is it now? I have already given up on your beloved man. Why are you still here?"
Since Fiona was unwilling to let the issue go, Nicole decided that she wasn't going to let Fiona bully her like that.
Upon seeing Kerr's nonchalance, Jeremy decided not to interfere when he saw how the two girls were treating each other. This was because he knew that Kerr was indulged in Nicole, and he couldn't do anything to let him down.
"It's not what you think. It was you who sold yourself out and abandoned Gregory. You are the reason why he got upset."
Fiona didn't dare to do anything reckless in front of Jeremy and Kerr. After all, she was well aware of the fact that the survival of the Song Group was entirely dependent on the man beside her, Jeremy.
"That's the reason why you two got together? But why would you be here?"
With Kerr sitting right beside her, Nicole was careful not to bring up that night seven years ago in order not to arouse Kerr's suspicion.
"I..."
Fiona paused to glance at Jeremy and found that all of his attention was on her. She blushed and lowered her head shyly.
