Jay sighed.
"Avery, will you be okay if I leave Jay with you tomorrow? We have that bidding meeting tomorrow and I cannot miss it. I have to return to the company, "
Nicole asked Avery.
Nobody could stop time. It would quietly pass by no matter what you wanted it to do. Time waited for no one. The bidding event finally came.
"Yes, we'll be alright. I promise that I will take good care of him. But are you sure you want to leave with Jay so soon after the bidding event? Jay still needs more rest. You should at least give it a little more time. Plus, you haven't figured out the truth about what happened to Ning Group yet, "
Avery told Nicole in an attempt to make her stay longer.
"I know. I'll still have to think about it. Right now, the most important thing for me is Jay's health."
Nicole thought that perhaps God was playing tricks on her somehow. Right now, she had no choice but to stay a bit longer so that Jay could recover completely. However, she also had a lingering feeling that if she did not leave as soon as possible, she would never get the chance to leave again.
The next morning, Nicole made sure that she had all the documents with her before she left the hospital and returned to the Gu Group.
"Director Ning, you're back, " Lily greeted as soon as she saw her.
Lily looked at Nicole like she was a family member that she hadn't seen in a long time.
"I sent you messages every day, didn't I? How have you been? We are heading to the site soon, right?"
Nicole organized all the documents she needed to bring to the site.
Lily suddenly heard a voice from behind them when she was about to speak, which made her turn around.
"Director Ning, your ride is ready. Mr. Gu is waiting for you in the car."
Jared stood stiffly by the door. He arrived so suddenly that it almost felt like he knew the exact time that Nicole would arrive in the company.
"Okay, yeah, I'll head over there."
Without any hesitation, Nicole walked out of the office with the documents clutched tightly in her hands.
Before she left the hospital to go to the company, she had prepared herself. It wasn't just the necessary materials that she prepared but also her mental state. Today was an important bidding event and she knew that Kerr wouldn't miss it. She couldn't have avoided seeing him even if she tried.
When she got inside the car, she didn't bother to greet Kerr but inst
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again. But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
cion of her relationship with Kerr.
"I may not be working for the company anymore but I'll still take over the company with Kerr in the future. Am I correct to assume that Director Ning would have already left the company by then?"
Sunny noticed the USB flash drive that Nicole placed gently on the table. She walked over there quietly.
It never occurred to Nicole that Sunny already knew the news soon after she handed her resignation letter to Kerr. It seemed that Kerr really told Sunny everything.
"Ah, well, congratulations then, Miss He. I wish you the best."
Now that she decided to resign from the company, she hoped that Sunny would leave her alone. Nicole knew that even Sunny was out of the picture, there would surely be other women. She had to let go of Kerr as soon as possible to avoid any more heartbreaks.
"Of course. I have something to talk about with Kerr, so I'll be leaving now."
With the USB flash drive in her hand, Sunny quickly left.
She stared at the flash drive in her hand with delight. Her original plan was just to antagonize Nicole but it seemed that she found something much more interesting.
While walking into the bidding venue, Baron immediately recognized Sunny as he walked past her. He quickly stopped walking and turned around to confirm. He saw her get in her car and it swiftly drove away. He was confused about what could Sunny be doing here.
"The He Group isn't participating in this bidding event, right?" he asked his assistant near him.
The assistant scanned the documents in her hand and replied, "No, the He Group isn't in this bidding."
