The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 30 He Really Dared To Come In



Jared anxiously ran after Kerr immediately. He broke into a cold sweat when he saw Kerr stopping at the door of the ladies'
room.
"Mr. Gu, I'll ask someone to go into the room right away."
Recovered from his initial shock, he quickly spun around. He intended to call for a female colleague, but then Kerr gestured him
to stay put.
"Nicole, do you want to come out by yourself or want me to get you out?"
Kerr demanded as he exuded a manly composure. The certainty in his voice showed that he actually knew what exactly he was
doing.
He didn't intend to walk in by himself, because he was positive that she would step out herself. But if she remained stubborn, he
would take it as she wanted him to invite her in person, then that he wouldn't mind.
Still hiding in the ladies' room, Nicole was startled when she heard Kerr's well-modulated voice. Her face automatically turned in
the direction of the door with her eyes wide open. Uh-oh! Now, she was getting the creeps.
Her thoughts ran wild as she seemed to visualize that there was an expressionless face behind that door. She sucked in her
breath. She didn't expect that Kerr could downright come to the comfort room to find her. Staring back at her reflection in the
mirror, she urged herself to relax and think clearly. She convinced herself that there was no way the CEO of the Gu Group would
barge into a ladies' room.
Patiently waiting at the door, Kerr didn't hear any footsteps at all, and she was not even making any sounds. His eyes suddenly
lit up. But as a sly smile started to curl in his mouth, he immediately pressed his lips into a thin line, afraid he would burst out
laughing.
"Nicole, your last chance is three times left. If you don't come out, I will go in.
Three."
Then Nicole's taut voice reverberated in the room.
"I don't believe you'll dare to come in!"
"Two."

Nicole was on edge already. She faintly heard Kerr's footsteps getting closer and closer to the door. And it looked like he
randomly positioned himself, ready to open the door once he reached out his hand.
Looking helpless, finally, she gave in. She couldn't calm down anymore. She hastily pinched her nose and purposely made her
voice sounded sharp.
"Nicole is not here."
Hearing the sound from the washroom, a hint of understanding appeared in Kerr's eyes. Fighting the urge to laugh, he directly
pushed the door open and unceremoniously strode in.
Realizing Kerr's sudden action, Jared immediately raised his hand to conceal his face before quickly turning around. He could
only think that Nicole was such a fool to expose herself by making that sound.
"You... You haven't counted down to one yet,"
Nicole stammered, too startled when Kerr showed up in front of her. If she hadn't been strong-minded, she must have fainted
with fear.
"One,"
he spat out offhandedly as he looked at Nicole with tenderness in his eyes.
There had never been a woman that made him feel so funny. Looking at her shocked expression, he had a feeling of something
peculiar that he couldn't tell and pinpoint what. Her eyes were pure and devoid of any mischiefs, though.
If he hadn't seen Jay in person, he would never have believed that she already had a seven-year-old son, while she was still like
a child herself.
When she sensed that he was taking the moment for granted, she could feel the blood surging on her head and was about to
faint.
"Watch out!"
he blurted out as he dashed towards her. Without even looking at her, he picked her up and carried her to the door.
"Wait! Wait a minute! Put me down. We are inside the company premises. I don't know what others will think if they see you carry
me out like this!"

she yelled hysterically. She instinctively reached out and patted Kerr's shoulder. Then she jumped out from his arms. Her face
blushed, feeling quite embarrassed.
Yes, she did want to faint, but it was not real. She was merely pretending. It was utterly humiliating. She couldn't imagine how the
people in the company would think of her if they knew that she was carried out of the bathroom by Kerr.
"So, you mean that I can carry you like this if we're not around in the company premises?"
He couldn't help teasing her while appreciating the baffled expressions on her face. He thought she was lovely.
But if he only knew that she wanted to strangle him right there and then, he wouldn't be so relieved.
Kerr felt grateful more than ever that he decided to come and find her in person. Otherwise, he would have missed such a lovely
side of Nicole.
"You must be kidding, Mr. Gu. I honestly don't know whether you have the hobby of breaking into the ladies' room. Mr. Gu,
please go back to your office. Let's not talk business here."
Nicole restraint herself hard as she repressed the urge to strangle Kerr, so she put on a forced smile.
Now, she was feeling tense all over. Thinking that the longer they stayed in the washroom, the more suspicious the others would
be. She refused to imagine just how many people had been waiting in front of the washroom.
But as it turned out, Nicole was plainly overthinking. With Jared at the door, no one dared to go to the washroom. However,
rumors spread like fire throughout the Gu Group.
"What is suitable then to talk about here?"
Seeing that she was a little anxious, Kerr decided to tease her a bit. And instead of heading out in haste, he leisurely inched his
way forward, cornering her. While still gazing at her, he casually planted his hand on the wall behind her head.
He definitely found her amusing. And admittedly, he might be addicted to seeing her panic like a little white rabbit.
"Mr. Gu, I'm just a director of the Gu Group. And what you're doing is not so proper."
Nicole's body stiffened when she felt cold behind her. She didn't realize that she was pressing her back at the wall. She lifted her
eyes only to see him looming over her, and his face with chiseled features magnified in front of her. Though she hated to admit it,

he was indeed very handsome.
But such a stance reminded her of that bitter night seven years ago, and she could not help clenching her small fists.
"What am I doing now? You can also be more than just the director of the Gu Group,"
he offered rather calmly. Because at this precise moment, he never wanted to let go, and he was quite sure of it. She aroused in
him his manly desire to conquer. And by hook or by crook, he must make her willing to stay with him.
"How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not like those women around you?"
Nicole hissed angrily, her face contorted in anger. She raised her hand and swiftly threw her fist directly at Kerr's stomach. Long
before he could react, she had already bent down and escaped directly from under his arm.
She didn't give it a damn on how many people were standing at the door. She merely couldn't stand staying with him alone in the
same room. She didn't want it because the moment she looked deeply into Kerr's eyes, she felt captivated. She would lose
herself.
No, she couldn't get lost in the trap set by him.
"Director... Ning."
Jared was stunned as he watched Nicole run back to her office in a hurry. Before he could say something to stop her, he heard
the footsteps of Kerr behind him.
Kerr nonchalantly straightened his black shirt and purposely made his way out of the washroom, with concealed, inexplicable joy
in his eyes.
Marveling at the faint strength of Nicole's fist made him want to roar into laughter. But, his suppressed laugh turned into a
chuckle, and he couldn't help it. He felt good. Her small soft hand didn't cause him any harm, but it seemed to beat him in his
heart as well.
"Make her come to my office,"
he flatly instructed while glancing at the direction of Nicole's office. And without another word, he turned into the elevator that
was exclusive to him.
"Yes, Mr. Gu."

Pursing his lips, he hastily sauntered towards Nicole's office to carry out Kerr's instruction as expected.
"Director Ning, did Mr. Gu really go to the washroom to catch you? You and Mr. Gu..."
Lily gushed as she curiously watched Nicole marching back to her office. Now everyone in the Gu Group had known that Kerr
was in love with her, and they were dating in the bathroom red-handed.
