Kerr was skeptical with what he was hearing from the woman in front of him. Looking at the man's scrutinizing eyes, Sunny felt a little guilty, but she tried to keep calm.
Crossing his arms in question, he decided to dig a little deeper into her intentions. "So what are you trying to say here? That you could tolerate seeing Nicole by my side? Don't try to play games with me, Sunny. You know who I am, and you're well aware as to where I draw the line. "
He glanced at her and then fixed his eyes on the computer screen.
He knew the idea might work. After all, he had indeed used her to get a reaction out of Nicole before, and it worked. It was also the reason why he kept Sunny by his side until now.
But he didn't want to hurt Nicole because he was trying to make her jealous by being seen with Sunny.
A hint of sadness flashed through the Sunny's eyes.
Of course she was jealous of Nicole. She loved Kerr so much that she wouldn't be willing to let him go, not without a fight. But in order to stay with Kerr for the rest of her life, she had to compromise.
"Kerr, my feelings for you run deeper than any way I could ever express them. If it's possible, I would like to be your woman, because I know you far better than Nicole does and I know what kind of woman you need by your side. But you like her, so I'll help you get her.
Unless, you are worried that you'll end up falling in love with me."
She knew how proud Kerr was, well enough to be able to poke and prod at his weak spots. Provoking him on purpose would play well in her favor.
"Are you going for a wager? Sunny, aren't you afraid that your effort will all end up in vain?"
Kerr was a little surprised at what Sunny had said today. In the past, he had thought that her actions were those of a silly little girl, so he had never taken it seriously.
But now, he realized that he had to think twice when it involved her.
"I'm not afraid of anything. I'm willing to do anything for you."
She looked at him, eyes full of deep affection and longing.
"You are smart. You should know why I've kept you in the Gu Group. So Sunny, please don't place all your energy and attention on me. No one can control how I lead my life."
Even though he knew that her method might be useful to get Nicole, he didn't need anyone to teach him how to keep Nicole by his side.
It was an unnecessary course of action.
"Well, it's your decision Kerr, I'll go ahead."
She knew that if she continued to provoke him, he would doubt her intentions. After all, he didn't trust her very much to risk it. She didn't want to play around and push the limit. Not now, at least.
A proud man would never allow others to teach him anything. Maybe the only thing that could help her win against Nicole was that she knew Kerr better than that director did.
Watching her receding figure, Kerr fell into deep thought, his mind swimming towards a certain woman.
"Where is she, Jared?"
Pressing a button on the phone, he called his assistant, inquiring about the whereabouts of Nicole.
"Mr. Gu, Director Ning has called the Gu household, and I have sent Jay back to the villa. She won't come back tonight. She is with the daughter of the Lin family, Avery Lin."
Jared then drove away from the Gu's villa after answering his boss.
