Ken watched Jared's actions carefully, recalling what Kerr had told him earlier. Finally he sighed, got into his car and drove till he caught up with Bonnie.
"Get in the car!"
he called, stopping the car right next to her. His dissatisfaction was obvious on his face. Seeing Bonnie standing still, unresponsive to him, he began to grow impatient.
"Quick! We need to get to warehouse 9!"
Bonnie finally managed to respond, directing Ken with an anxious look on her face. She gripped her phone rightly and tried calling Howard's number again. The dial tone rang and rang, but no one answered.
Kerr shrewdly watched Ken drive his car away.
"Go get the car."
It seemed there would be a good show; of course, he wouldn't miss it. He remembered how much Nicole cared about her sister and how Bonnie was cold to her last time. It looked like God was giving him a good chance to help Nicole. He pulled out his phone and dialed Nicole's number.
Nicole had just finished her shower and was getting out of the bathroom when her phone rang. She toweled her wet hair with one hand as she walked towards the phone she had placed on the bedside table. She frowned when she saw Kerr's name on the screen.
She stared at it for a while, debating whether she should answer the call and finally decided to ignore it.
'It's already late. I know he could be calling me for reasons other than work, but besides work matters, there's really nothing much we can talk about, ' she thought to herself.
Her phone finally stopped ringing. She was just about to turn it off and go to sleep when a message from Kerr appeared on the screen. His message consisted of only two words, "Bonnie Ning."
Shocked, she reread the message to make sure she hadn't seen it wrongly the first time. Then she immediately called him back.
"What happened to Bonnie?"
Kerr's face darkened immediately when he heard Nicole's anxious voice. Based on the timeframe in which she had called back, it was obvious that she had intentionally ignored his call.
"Why didn't you answer my call?"
He couldn't accept the fact that Nicole had intentionally avoided his call. He would rather have her hate him than totally ignore his existence.
"Tell me what happened to Bonnie, "
Nicole repeated urgently. After she had parted with Bonnie at the hospital, Nicole found out that Bonnie desperately needed money, so she had tried calli car even before she had her feet firmly on the ground.
She summoned up her courage, took a deep breath and walked towards the warehouse.
As Jared approached warehouse 9, he noticed Ken's car parked not too far away. He told Kerr,
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Qin is already here."
Kerr nodded firmly as he heard Jared's words. After Jared had parked the car, he took Nicole's hand and led her out of the car.
Initially, Nicole struggled to shake his warm hand away from hers, but as she registered the cold sea breeze and the gloomy darkness, she decided not to let go of his hand.
"Where's Bonnie?"
she asked Ken anxiously, when she spotted him smoking while leaning against his car.
"She's inside."
Ken watched the couple exit the car and let out a smoke ring nonchalantly.
"Put that out."
Ken frowned as he watched Ken smoking. Personally, he didn't mind, but Nicole was there and he was worried that she wasn't used to the unpleasant smell of cigarettes.
Ken rolled his eyes at Kerr's command but listened to his words anyway, throwing the unfinished cigarette down on the ground and stepping on it to extinguish it.
"Is she alone in there? What's that noise?"
Nicole asked Ken, sounding a bit shocked. Aside from the sound of the howling wind, her ears picked up the sounds of men's cold laughter and a woman faintly calling for help.
"Ahh!"
She knew that voice. It was Bonnie's voice. Instinctively, she let go of Kerr's hand and tried to run inside. But before she could even move one step away, Kerr grabbed hold of her and pulled her back protectively into his strong arms.
