The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 41 I Look Down Upon You

If she misinterpreted the relationship between Mr. Gu and Sunny at this point of time, Mr. Gu might really lose his hope to win Nicole's heart. He probably would not even have a chance to explain himself.

Hearing Jared's utterance, Nicole was stunned. She looked a little bit embarrassed, but the anger in her chest seemed to disappear little by little.

"Why on earth did you tell me that? You know it is none of my business, right? Whoever Mr. Gu chooses to keep in the company has no connection to me. I just want to make sure that the flow of work here is not affected because of some insignificant personal affairs."

She sounded cold and it seemed as if she didn't care about Kerr. She was unfazed by all the recent developments. But though she said this aloud, the anger in her eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced by a dash of happiness that she didn't even notice herself.

"Yes, Miss Ning, you couldn't be more accurate on this. I just feel sorry for Mr. Gu because after all he is a good man. It must be nerve-wrecking to get pestered by someone you don't like all the time."

Looking at the relieved expression on Nicole's face, with an understanding smile on his face, Jared seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually speaking to her. This way, he was helping Kerr, somewhat.

If Mr. Gu could win her heart in the end with his help, his salary would be hiked surely! He must ask Mr. Gu to raise his salary for him no matter what!

"Maybe,"

said Nicole and smiled uncomfortably. She felt unexpectedly embarrassed about the whole conversation. Without wasting any more time just as she turned around to go back to her office she

heard Jared speak again.

"Isn't the file that you are handling a very urgent one? I guess Mr. Gu has signed the document by now. You may go and collect it. Lily need not come again."

Jared decided that it would be a great idea to seize the opportunity. Nicole's mood was better now. This would give Kerr a chance to say his piece to her in order to explain everything personally.

"Well, this document is really an urgent one."

Seeing no other way, she turned around and headed towards Kerr's office.

Standing in the bathroom, Kerr hung up the phone just as he finished. He then reached out to unbutton his shirt swiftly, took it off and threw it into the trash can casually. Then he turned on the tap and washed his hands thoroughly, and called out to Jared.

"Jared, get me my shirt from the wardrobe quickly," he said loudly.

In the office, hearing Kerr's voice, Sunny was beaming with joy and excitement. She could not care less about tidying up the coffee stains on her clothes. She had no time for such insignificant things right now. She rapidly took off her high heels and threw them away. She took out the shirt Kerr was asking from the wardrobe, opened the bathroom door smartly and walked in confidently.

With his back to the door, he heard the clicking of the door and unsuspectingly thought that it was Jared. He raised his hand to grab the shirt. But when he could not reach the shirt, Kerr raised his head, slightly disgusted, to see what was going on. Little was he prepared for the surprise that awaited him.

He saw Sunny standing there waiting to unbutton her clothes. He was confused and taken aback.

"What on earth do you think are you doing?"

He shot an annoyed and quizzical look at Sunny. He wasn't ready for such a twist.

"You see my clothes got dirty too. And I did not get anything else to wear. Would it be okay if I borrowed yours?"

There was a gloomy shadow in her eyes, and she looked like she really did not understand what was going on. She looked especially pitiful, it was as if she was begging Kerr for some kind of help, and she was utterly scared that she would be rejected by him.

She was dead sure that Kerr would definitely react to such a tender situation. She was confident of her beauty and her perfect figure. She knew her way into a man's heart. She knew the art of seduction. The only reason that it took time was because previously she just didn't have a chance to let Kerr see and fall for her undeniable charm.

Now that moment was here. Sunny was definitely not a fool and would never let the opportunity pass by just like that.

"Sunny, are you even in the right mind? You really need to understand what you are doing."

Saying this he simply turned and walked towards the door. A desperate Sunny could not let this happen. She immediately hugged him tight from behind and stopped him from leaving so easily.

"Kerr, you know that I like you and you must understand that I can do anything for you. I just want you to be mine. Is that too much to ask for? Don't drive me away like this, please?"

As she pressed her cheek against his bare back, tears rolled down from her eyes. She could not help but cry. She did not want to let go off him. She moved even closer to his body to feel the warmth.

"Sunny, you know I have no feelings for you. Promise me that you won't do that ever again."

Kerr was at the end of his wits by now and he simply pushed her away. He then opened the door of the bathroom to walk out. He knew what Sunny was thinking but to him, she was no one special except her identity. So he had no interest in establishing any form of relationship with her.

Since he knew that it was impossible for him to love her, he would never even give her the chance to anything of that sort. Otherwise, he would be put under tremendous pressure from both the Gu family and the He family. Things would become very troublesome.

When he emerged out of the bathroom after that extremely shocking incident, he saw Nicole standing in the office with a sneer on her lips.

Now, Kerr was in a very sticky situation and on top of that he didn't put on his shirt. Sunny's high heels were on the floor. Obviously, both Sunny and Kerr were alone in the bathroom just now and only the two knew what they had done.

"It seems that Mr. Gu is too busy right now to read my document."

She glared at Kerr scoffing. Then she turned around and shot a sarcastic glance at Jared who stood behind her with an open mouth. After this she simply left without looking back even once.

She should have known that Jared was not one to be trusted. After all, he was one of Kerr's loyal subordinates, so she knew what he was thinking. What Jared had done was merely a part of a well arranged plan.

But no matter what the truth was, it didn't make a difference anymore. A person like Kerr would only do what he set his heart on. She was too stupid to believe his words, sympathize with him and fall in the trap.

She didn't feel sorry for Kerr at all. Instead, she felt that Kerr enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by different women.

Kerr stepped forward and grabbed her wrist directly. He wanted to stop her then and there. All was going beyond his control.

"Please give me a chance. Let me explain. It's not what you think. I know it looks wrong but the truth is different."

But without turning back, she just raised her hand and pulled him away bit by bit. Then she said in a cold and controlled tone,

"Mr. Gu, you don't need to explain anything to me. Neither am I bothered nor am I interested to get sucked into this weird cycle of misunderstanding anymore."

Sunny walked out of the bathroom in Kerr's shirt right at this moment. Her face was reddened and there were remnants of the tears on her cheeks. The shirt she wore was definitely over-sized. But instead of making her look awkward she appeared to be even more beautiful.

"Sunny, why don't you help me out here? Why don't you say what happened inside there?" Kerr pointed at the bathroom.

He was aware of the fact that Nicole might have misunderstood the relationship between him and Sunny. Therefore, it would be better that Sunny explained the whole thing. Now that he was present, she would definitely not even dare to lie.

Surprised by Kerr's direct question, she gasped. She lowered her head to hide the maliciousness in her eyes that she often used on people to get by her way. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

She was right. When she saw the way Kerr treated Nicole, she understood that there was fondness there. When she sniffled, her voice was filled with sadness.

"Believe me, nothing happened between us..."

When Nicole heard Sunny, the misunderstanding in her heart didn't just vanish, instead she became more furious. She was surprised to see Sunny in Kerr's shirt when she turned around.

Then, she looked up to Kerr and met his worried eyes.

"Please get dressed first, Mr. Gu. Please be a responsible man. For heaven's sake don't do something so that I have to look down upon you."

Nicole quickly turned and left without another word.

Looking at the receding figure of Nicole, Kerr looked back at Sunny and his eyes became full of rage.
