While she was asleep, Kerr had already driven the car to the suburbs. The only people around, in the area, was the both of them.
Hearing his words, Nicole's face turned puzzled. She looked out the window and laid eyes on an unfamiliar place.
"Where are we? Aren't we going to be late for work?"
She didn't forget that she hadn't been on duty for two days. The bidding meeting was coming, so she was a little anxious. She didn't want the whole Gu Group to be affected because of her.
"Don't worry. We could rest today. Put on your clothes and I'll take you somewhere."
He took out the clothes that he had asked Jared to bring and helped her put them on one by one. He looked at her softly.
"You know you don't have to help me, right? I can do it myself. Where are we going?"
She reached out her hands and tried to get the clothes from Kerr, but he kept her from getting them.
"You could choose to let me help you wear them or not wear them at all. Besides, I don't mind if we stay in the car for another day."
There was a snicker in his eyes and his tone was firm.
Seeing how determined Kerr was, she sighed in defeat and gave up the struggle. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look into his eyes. Her face was as red as tomato because of embarrassment.
When he saw the shy look on her face, he decided to tease her and slowed down on purpose.
"Kerr!"
Nicole was about to lose her temper under Kerr's intense gaze, so he finally zipped her dress.
In fact, she was not the only one feeling awkward. Kerr had already been turned on. It seemed that as long as he was with her, he would easily lose all his self-control.
"Alright."
Putting Nicole down, Kerr got out of the car and took a deep breath to calm himself. He went back to the driver's seat and started the car.
As Kerr drove the car away from their previous location, Nicole looked out the window curiously and watched the scenery passing by. The car stopped not long after.
"Where are we?"
Nicole opened the door and got out. A large flower path greeted her. The flowers were trimmed neatly. Obviously, someone was taking care of them with a lot of love and care.
Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the air was exceptionally clear. Nicole took a deep breath and smelled the natural fragrance of the flowers in the air, feeling a sense of tranquility that she had never felt before.
"Somewhere that belongs to you."
Kerr was holding Nicole's hand as they walked towards the flowers in the garden. She looked at the surrounding flora around her and had an indescribable feeling of love.
Not knowing how long she had walked, she didn't find a wooden hut until her feet were numb.
"Hi Kerr, breakfast is ready."
An old man came out from the wooden house and greeted Kerr.
"Grandpa Cheng."
Kerr respectfully greeted the old man, wearing a faint smile instead of the usual serious expression that his face held. He was totally different from the Kerr in the Gu Group.
"Nicole, this is Grandpa Cheng."
Kerr brought Nicole closer to the old man, as though he was presenting her.
"Grandpa Cheng, this is Nicole."
She looked at the old man in front of her and smiled. Then she bowed slightly to greet him.
