The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 90

The voices of the journalists sent shivers down Nicole's spine.

"Mr. Gu, what are your thoughts on the photos?"

"Mr. Gu, is it true that the Gu family is planning to unite with the He family through marriage? According to our sources, Miss He and you are in a mutual relationship, can you confirm?"

"Someone also told us that the Gu family and the He family have already nailed down an engagement date. Mr. Gu, care to give a statement?"

When Jared lifted his head, his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of Nicole, who was standing out of the crowd of journalists in a daze-like-state. He whispered something in Kerr's ear. Kerr didn't turn his back to look at Nicole. Instead, he walked straight into the office building of Gu Group.

Standing still, Nicole still couldn't believe what she had just heard. She squatted and picked up one of the newspapers scattered on the ground. The photos immediately caught her eyes, she was shocked at what she saw.

This was the page that was creating all the fuss; a few pictures of Kerr and Sunny. In one of the pictures, it looked like Sunny was holding Kerr the way a lover would hold on to her partner; and in another picture, Kerr looked at Sunny affectionately. The pictures were something that she knew she wouldn't forget easily.

The pictures made her lose all of her remaining strength and the newspaper fell unceremoniously to the ground. Nicole walked towards the office building with empty eyes.

A keen-eyed reporter saw the dead look in Nicole's eyes and walked over to her.

"Excuse me, who are you? Do you know Mr. Gu and Miss He?"

Upon hearing the journalist's question, her vision came back to focus. The journalist looked expectant; as if she had some juicy, exclusive gossip that she could share with him. She just looked bitterly at him.

"I am just an ordinary employee working in the Gu Group."

After saying that, she went straight into the building so the reporter didn't get the chance to ask another question.

She couldn't help but feel cold all over her body. She knew that Kerr had seen her just now, but he didn't want to explain. It seemed that in his eyes, she was just a stranger.

She started to think that perhaps the sweet moment she shared with Kerr yesterday was just a figment of her imagination. Maybe Kerr's promise was just his trick to cheat her.

'Make me his only woman? That's probably a lie,' she thought.

Despite being confused, she managed to find her way to her office. She tried to get herself to function and work on reading documents the whole morning. Yet, she was so lost in thought that her mind didn't register a single word written on the documents.

"Director Ning? Aren't you going to have lunch now?"

Lily looked at the absent-minded Nicole and reminded her that it was already lunch. Lily had observed her behavior all morning and found that she seemed to be preoccupied with something else. She didn't know if it was because of the news.

"I'm not going. You go on and have your lunch."

Nicole closed the folder and walked to the tea room with a cup in her hand. She placed the cup under the drinking fountain. Her eyes turned glassy as she lost her focus again when the face of Kerr invaded her mind.

By the time she pulled herself back to reality, the water in the cup had overflowed. Nicole turned off the water fountain quickly and reached for the cup. In her haste, however, her hands accidentally touched the overflowing water and burned her fingers.

"Ah!"
