My CEO Daddy

It looked like Sunny just came to talk to Kerr. Upon knowing what her purpose was for being there, Baron continued his walk towards the lounge.

He was aware that Nicole was inside the lounge next door, however, they were competitors now. The bidding was about to start. He knew he couldn't be seen with Nicole so he dialed her phone number.

"Are you nervous?"

When Nicole heard Baron's gentle and soothing voice, she couldn't help the faint smile that appeared on her face.

"Are you?"

This was her very last project in the Gu Group. She prepared for it thoroughly and meticulously before she came here. She had no reason to be nervous.

"It's already an honor just to be standing on the same stage as you. The result isn't that important,"

Baron answered Nicole, his tone relaxed.

At that moment, he honestly felt that business was less important than Nicole. He couldn't believe that when he was given the choice between business and Nicole, he would choose the business.

"Come on now. You know I won't pull my punches."

Nicole had a confident smile sketched on her face. However, it immediately disappeared when she felt a sudden discomfort in her stomach.

She realized that she didn't eat anything for breakfast because she was in a hurry to get to the site. For the past few days, Nicole worked overtime just to finish the project. She hadn't had a good rest ever since she started working. She ended up eating irregularly and it caused her to feel a little bit under the weather.

When she finished talking, she heard the door of the lounge suddenly open.

"Director Ning, the bidding has started. We need to sit down now,"

Jared informed Nicole as soon as they made eye contact with each other.

Nicole nodded at him and turned off her phone. She then picked up the documents and walked out of the lounge.

According to the enterprise's ranking, the Gu Group was ranked at the top. So naturally, Nicole would be the first to go up to the stage.

She opened her bag to look for the USB flash drive but her blood suddenly ran cold when she couldn't find it. She froze. Her eyes widened as she frantically searched her bag while everyone else waited for her.

"What's wrong?"

Sitting next to Nicole, Kerr immediately noticed her strange behavior and asked.

When she heard Kerr's voice, she frowned and shook her head. She took a deep breath as she realized that she wasn't going to find that USB. She looked around before she decided t

deep, long breath and then walked up to the stage.

However, he was still in distress after seeing what had happened to Nicole. He was worried about her well-being. When he saw how Kerr reacted to Nicole's sudden collapse, he felt pretty jealous over it. He had been in love with Nicole for many years, but he hadn't been able to ask her out because of several reasons.

When Kerr got outside with Nicole in his arms, Jared had already parked the car at the gate of the venue. After seeing Kerr get in the car, Jared immediately stepped on the accelerator and hurriedly rushed towards the hospital.

"Nicole... We'll be at the hospital soon."

Kerr gently wiped away the sweat on Nicole's forehead then planted a small kiss on it.

He shouldn't have let her make the speech. But, she probably would have insisted anyway because of how stubborn she was.

"Kerr..."

Nicole was still unconscious when she called out his name. She reached out to Kerr's collar and embraced him tightly.

As he listened to Nicole's soft murmurs, Kerr felt as if something struck his heart.

"Don't worry, I am here with you."

At this moment, all he wanted was to let go of everything and leave with Jay and Nicole. However, even if he wanted to, it was an irrational move to do. He knew that if he wanted Nicole to be his, he would have to be careful with his actions.

Nicole slowly drifted off in a deep sleep as she listened to the warm voice calling out to her. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Even though Kerr had already sent Nicole to the emergency room, he still didn't want to leave her by herself. It was as if Kerr was terrified that Nicole would never come out of that room.
