The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 40 Sorry To Disturb You

"No problem Mr. Gu. I'll let her know."

Jared obeyed Kerr's demand as he turned around and led his way towards where Sunny was. However, Jared planned to change Kerr's message since the He family had a special relationship with the Gu family. He thought that Kerr's words were a bit rude to deliver to Sunny.

He knew that Sunny wasn't the person he would want to mess with. Jared was sure that she would cause a lot of trouble if she was irritated.

"Hello Miss He. Is everything alright?

Mr. Gu was a little concerned because of the screaming that came from you."

Sunny nodded her head in a sign of affirming that there was nothing wrong as she walked directly to Kerr's office with Jared. Once she got to the office, she poured Kerr a cup of coffee and put it on his desk as she kept a gentle look at him.

"I will always be grateful with you for giving me this big chance to work in the Gu Group, Kerr. You must teach me well though if you want me to perform correctly here."

Jared decided to leave the office since Sunny's timid voice made him cringe. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"The Gu Group has a history record of excellent people that have ever worked with the Gu family, Miss He. I'm afraid that I can't intervene in your process if you don't behave like a qualified assistant."

Those were the emotionless words that came out of Kerr as he kept looking at his computer's screen with focused eyes.

In fact, Kerr had done enough for Sunny by letting her work in the company. Therefore, the least she could do was to behave properly.

"I know Kerr. I know what I have to do. You can trust me."

She grabbed the cup of coffee and handed it to Kerr as she widely smiled from left to right.

"You should have a little break for now and drink this cup of coffee."

Meanwhile, Lily brought back the document to Nicole in her office.

Nicole started to check every piece of data's detail like five times because she couldn't locate what Sunny stated that was wrong. And eventually, she found nothing wrong with the document as she looked at Lily with confusing eyes.

"I don't think I found anything wrong with it. It is weird for me that Jared felt that this document isn't good enough."

Nicole was probably the most meticulous person in the company when it came to business matters. She would never let any mistake to go past her sight.

Although she disagreed with the feedback, she had to take it seriously since Kerr's assistant said so.

"That's the thing Nicole, it wasn't Jared. When I was about to knock on the door, Kerr's new secretary stopped me and decided to take a look at your document. She was really rude to me though, but it seemed that she wasn't joking around."

Judging by the tone of Lily, she was still not pleasant towards Sunny's treatment to her.

"Oh. I understand now. Don't worry Lily, you should go ahead with your work."

Nicole gave a sign to Lily with her hand to let her know that she could go back to her desk.

Nicole was unsure of Sunny's behavior. She even wondered if Kerr was behind this. After all, it was something that Kerr would do. It seemed that she had to try to deliver the document in person since Lily

wasn't treated quite well.

She thought to herself that if situations like this one started to happen repeatedly from now and on, she wouldn't be in peace with her job anymore. Therefore, she would have to quit.

She stood up from her chair and walked towards Kerr's office. She saw Jared's presence as she arrived at Kerr's door.

"Hello Mr. Kang. I was wondering if Mr. Gu is available to talk."

Jared could notice from meters away that Nicole wanted nothing but argue with Kerr.

"Hello Director Ning. Mr. Gu is inside reviewing some business matters."

Jared agreed to let her walk in since Nicole was an important part of the company and there might've been a relevant issue that she needed to discuss with Kerr. However, he knew that the atmosphere was about to get heated because Sunny was also in there yet.

Nicole stepped forward firmly as she knocked on the door with great strength. Jared started to feel quite nervous.

"The door is unlocked, please come in."

Kerr instantly answered to whoever knocked on the door, even though he previously didn't even reach out to receive Sunny's coffee.

When Sunny saw Nicole enter the office, an idea popped up in her mind at once.

"Ah!" she screamed as her hand couldn't stay still and accidentally let go of the cup of coffee which heavily hit the floor. The impact made the coffee splash on her and Kerr's clothes.

"Oh my god Kerr! I didn't mean to provoke this mess. I'm truly sorry."

Sunny immediately grabbed the paper towel that was on the table and wiped the coffee stains off Kerr's shirt. Kerr could sense how anxious she was by looking at her face and as he felt the intensity that she held his arm with. They looked very intimate at that moment.

He quite disliked her body language in that moment and he was about to move his arm away as he heard Nicole's strange tone of voice that made him feel a bit concerned.

"I honestly didn't mean to cause this mess with my visit, but I urgently need this document with your signature, Mr. Gu.

I would like you to check on every detail of it since it was rejected for having some mistakes that I never found. If you're not available now, I'll just ask my assistant to come and take it later on. Please take your time to check the document."

A loud noise resounded all around the office when Nicole unconsciously dropped the folder on the desk with such toughness.

Before Kerr could say a word, she was already leaving the office.

This time, even taking a deep breath couldn't help Nicole out to cool herself after witness their intimacy. It seemed that whenever she had to pay a visit to Kerr's office, she would end up with a weigh on her chest.

Now she couldn't get out of her head the thought that the same man, who had said those ambiguous words to her last night, was getting along with his assistant in the office. She was still grateful that she hadn't told Jay that he was his father.

If the circumstances were different, Jay would be quite disappointed.

Nevertheless, she tried not to pay attention to the disappointment in her heart.

"Wait, Nicole. Where are you going?" Kerr called out.

Nicole just kept going towards the office's door as she ignored Kerr's soft words.

Kerr didn't even hesitate to push Sunny away as he rapidly stood up to go after Nicole. But the chase had to be interrupted due to Kerr's phone which started to ring.

He decided to pick up his phone first since Nicole was still in his company. She couldn't escape from him anyway. He moved forward to the bathroom since his shirt was still dirty with coffee stains on it.

Jared stood at the door and watched the whole scene. When he saw Nicole angrily leading her way out of the office, he decided to go after her.

"Wait, Miss Ning. Miss Ning! Please don't leave like that. Miss Ning!"

When she heard Jared's desperate words, she took a deep breath again before turning back. She smiled professionally at him. She had no interest in venting her anger on others.

"Mr. Kang, you have anything to tell me? I need to get back to work now."

Jared simply stood in front of Nicole to stop her at once. He was slightly surprised as he noticed how much anger there was on her face. He never imagined that Nicole could care that much about Kerr. Otherwise, there would be no reason for her to be mad at Kerr and Sunny.

"I feel that I have the responsibility to explain some things to you. Miss He is the daughter of the He family. Both the Gu and He families have had a strong relationship throughout the years. The reason she's here working with us is simply because Mr. He asked Mr. Gu to keep her in the Gu Group.

Although Miss He has feelings for Mr. Gu, he's never had interest in her. But it's impossible for Mr. Gu now to avoid her while she's around here."

Jared knew that it had been hard for Kerr to ever approach Nicole since she always was on guard against him.
