The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 74

Nicole desperately wanted to break free from Kerr's hold, but the man was having none of it. He ignored her and headed straight for the elevator.

"Too late."

Kerr couldn't help but smile as he saw the look of embarrassment etched on the face of the woman in his arms. He tightened his hold, letting her know that he had no intention of letting go.

He bent over and whispered in her ear, his voice sounding enchanting,

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Hearing what he said, Nicole was obviously stunned and couldn't help but glare at him.

"Quite the contrary, actually, I'm used to sleeping in a larger bed. Whenever there is someone else on the bed, I can't sleep well! "

She didn't want to give Kerr the satisfaction of being right. She was going to drown any chance for him to fantasize, so she expressed her discontent significantly.

But the smile on Kerr's face seemed to linger in her mind, which made Nicole feel all warm and fuzzy, and made her a little dizzy. The cold expression that grazed his face all the time being replaced by a smile was new.

She had to admit, but only to herself, that she liked Kerr's smile.

If she was being honest, Kerr's bed was far from small. Even if the three of them slept on the bed, there was still much room. She just wanted to find a reason to refuse him.

"I will help you sleep well."

There was no sign of displeasure on his face. Instead, a wicked glint flashed through his eyes. 'There is no way you can escape from me!' the CEO thought.

He could always get the woman he wanted easily, but this time, he not only wanted Nicole's body, he also wanted to capture her heart.

"This is my stop."

When the elevator stopped at the floor where her office was, Nicole got her chance and jumped out of Kerr's arms.

As she was about to walk out of the elevator though, Kerr held her hand. Then with a little more strength, he pulled Nicole back and gently tucked the stray hair on the side of her face to the back of her ear.

"I'll wait for you this evening."

His words made her blush. Even though she knew that Kerr was referring to their business meeting, warmth rose to her cheeks. She broke away from his hold and got off the elevator.

Walking straight to her office, she didn't feel relieved until she entered it.

Looking at her retreating back, Kerr stopped smiling and pressed the button of the elevator.

Making herself more comfortable on her desk, Nicole took a deep breath to calm her senses. An unknown number suddenly rang her as she turned on her phone.

"Hello, this is Nicole Ning, who's speaking, please?"

"Are you really back, Nicole?"

It was Avery Lin's sweet voice.

"Avery? Is that you? "

Although Nicole asked in doubt, she was sure that only Avery Lin would be so surprised to have heard that she came back.

"Of course it's me. Why didn't you tell me when you came back? If I hadn't seen today's newspaper, I wouldn't have known. With a glance of your back in the newspaper, I knew that was you. How could you not tell me?"

There was unconcealed surprise in her tone of blame.

She and Nicole had always been best friends. It had been seven years since Nicole had left. They had both grown up, and it had been a long time since they saw each other.
