"Long time no see, Mr. Chu. I believe that Director Ning has already told you about what the Gu Group stands for. If there's nothing else to discuss, I hope we can make this decision today. After all, our time is very precious, " Kerr said.
He had heard about Jeremy's appreciation of Nicole. If he hadn't shown up, he was afraid that Jeremy would poach Nicole from Gu Group. Nicole was the one who had worked hard on the project. He didn't want to ruin her efforts, otherwise he wouldn't even mind rejecting the cooperation with the Chu Group.
Someday, he would realize that he should have refused to cooperate with Jeremy in their very first meeting, as that would have saved everyone the trouble in the future, but that was a later story.
"Okay, no problem, " Jeremy replied, but there was a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes after seeing Kerr's indifferent attitude.
Nevertheless, he picked up a pen and signed his name on the cooperation plan as if he hadn't noticed anything amiss.
Then, he looked up and held out his hand for Kerr to shake."I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation!"
Kerr shook Jeremy's hand with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation, " he echoed.
Nicole, who was watching the exchange between these two men, couldn't help but think that there was some tension between them, but she didn't know what could have caused it.
After leaving the Gu Group's building, Jeremy got into his car and clenched his fists in anger.
'How dare that little girl show off in front of me! She was so bold just because she has Kerr's support!' he thought bitterly.
Anyway, since Kerr Gu had started this game, he, too, would play along.
"Go!" he barked at his driver.
After Jeremy left, Nicole looked at the cooperation document in her hand and smiled. Her efforts had brought the Gu Group a profit of over one hundred million! Not only was it a great achievement for her, but it was also something that had gained her Kerr's approval.
"You are excellent. But you have to watch out for those who have bad intentions, " Kerr said lightly.
He couldn't help but tease her after seeing the proud look on her face.
He knew t
She hadn't even given him any explanation.
He had planned to wait for Nicole to give in and reach out to him first, but in the end, he had missed her too much to stay away.
When Nicole reached the car, she looked at Jay first and said, "I'm sorry, darling. I was busy with work. What do you want to eat? It's Mommy's treat."
Being in a good mood, she smiled at Jay, but he just scowled at her in response.
"Whatever."
It wasn't just that his mother had forgotten him. In Jay's eyes, there was no point in having a meal without Uncle Gu. In fact, it had been days since he had seen him. He looked longingly at the Gu Group's building and wondered if Uncle Gu had already given up on his mommy.
At this moment, Baron cut in and said, "It's up to me!"
Nicole turned to Baron with a grateful expression on her face.
"Thank you. You know me so well."
She was used to Baron's company. In fact, he was like a family member to her.
"Have you been busy lately?" Baron asked.
Although he was a little angry that he hadn't received a call from Nicole for days, he was also worried about her.
"Yes, a little. Jay's previous school was close to home, so I could easily pick him up after work, but picking him up from his current school is a bit inconvenient.
Besides, there's been a lot of things to deal with in the company recently, so I might have to work overtime. This project is very important, so I have to be careful. Anyway, I'll manage."
