The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 76

The whole building was almost empty, including Nicole's office. Seeing that there was no one else around, Sunny walked into Nicole's office stealthily, reached for the folder on her desk, and snapped a few pictures with her mobile phone.

Then, she carefully placed the folder back in a way that it looked untouched, and left the office.

Meanwhile, Nicole walked quickly to the parking lot and saw Kerr already sitting in the car. She opened the door of the passenger seat in the front and climbed in.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. I forgot the time," she said, twisting her head around to look at him.

She pretended not to notice the unhappy expression on his face.

Kerr could easily tell how alarmed she was, but he just looked out the window without responding. He didn't pay any attention to her during the entire car ride. Anyway, he knew she wouldn't be able to hide for the rest of her life.

Nicole was pleased that Kerr wasn't going to blame her. She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Jared with a smile.

Jared smiled back without thinking, but when he sensed the chilling aura coming from Kerr, he quickly turned his focus to the road ahead and ignored Nicole.

They reached their destination in Good Times. Once the car slowed to a stop, Nicole got out with Kerr. This was the second time she was coming here, and she felt somewhat overshadowed.

"Don't worry. I won't let you get hurt again," Kerr whispered to her, taking her hand and giving it a gentle squeeze to reassure her.

He had begun to unconsciously notice her every move.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Gu," Nicole replied impassively, pulling her hand away and stepping back.

Then, she politely pointed forward with her arm, ushering him into the building.

Kerr didn't want to make things difficult for Nicole, so he just walked forward.

The room where the meeting was held was already full, and when Kerr showed up, everyone kept silent. Upon seeing them, Jeremy immediately stood up and greeted Kerr. Then, he cast a meaningful glance at Nicole, who was standing right behind Kerr.

"Mr. Gu, I haven't yet expressed my gratitude to you for how smoothly the recent project has been going," he said with an ingratiating smile.

Just as Jeremy was about to say something to Nicole, however, her phone rang.

Nicole shot everyone an apologetic look before hurrying out of the room and picking up the phone call from Jay. She gently reminded him to go to bed early. As she hung up the phone, she accidentally caught sight of a familiar figure in the corner of the corridor.

Sunny handed a small packet of powder to a waiter and watched him pour it into a glass of red wine. Then, she slipped a check into the waiter's hand.

The waiter hesitated for a moment, and then he turned around and walked into the private room with the glass in hand.

"What are you doing?" Nicole asked in a serious tone,

walking up to Sunny.

Taken by surprise, Sunny flinched, but when she turned around and saw Nicole, she quickly regained her composure.

"What I'm doing has nothing to do with you. I advise you to stay out of it," she said coolly,

watching the waiter take the glass of red wine into the room out of the corner of her eye.

Then, she turned her gaze to Nicole and said, "If my memory serves me right, you rejected Mr. Gu a long time ago. So, don't meddle in our affairs!"

It seemed to be more of a warning than a statement.

Nicole hesitated for a moment, struggling with her own thoughts.
