Sunny had planned this for a very long time. She definitely couldn't let Nicole swoop in at the last minute and reap the reward!
Nicole, however, tightened her grip on Kerr's hand and broke into a run as soon as she heard Sunny's voice. She pulled him into the elevator and quickly pressed a button.
"Nicole, where are you going with Kerr?!" Sunny screeched as she ran to the elevator, but it was too late.
The elevator doors closed smoothly, blocking out Sunny's voice.
Nicole finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was only able to relax for a moment.
After all, Kerr was still drugged. He could feel the drug swallowing his sanity, but he made no attempt to fight it.
Instead, he pushed Nicole to a corner of the elevator and pressed his hand on the wall next to her face. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her passionately.
He was strong enough to resist the effects of the drug, but when it came to Nicole, he didn't want to.
The elevator stopped at the first floor. When the doors opened, Jared was astounded by what he saw.
"Mr. Gu..."
Upon hearing Jared's voice, Nicole put her hands on Kerr's shoulders and tried to push him away.
However, he was so strong that he didn't even budge.
It was only when she felt like she was about to suffocate that he finally pulled away and gave her a chance to breathe.
"Mr. Kang, hurry up! Pull him away!"
If she didn't escape from Kerr right now, she had a feeling that he would never let her go.
"Director Ning, what happened to Mr. Gu?" Jared asked hesitantly as he stepped forward.
However, he didn't dare to touch Kerr or pull him away.
Having been with Kerr for a long time, he knew him well, so he directly walked into the elevator and pressed the button that would take them to the floor of Kerr's private suite.
"Hold on, Director Ning,"
he said comfortingly.
Realizing she was on her own, Nicole placed on her hands on Kerr's cheeks and tried to shake him out of his trance, but it seemed impossible.
When the elevator doors opened again, Kerr put his arms around Nicole's waist and, in one swift motion, lifted her up and carried her outside, completely ignoring Jared. In a matter of moments, the two of them were inside Kerr's suite.
"What are you trying to do? Kerr! I'm warning you, don't do anything stupid!"
Nicole said anxiously as Kerr threw her onto the bed.
In response, Kerr unbuttoned his shirt, took it off, and threw it onto the ground. Slowly, he was losing his senses.
He walked to the bed and grabbed Nicole's ankle before forcefully pulling her toward him.
