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 alittle 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 anunderstanding 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 highheels and threw them away. She took out the shirt Kerr was asking from the wardrobe, opened the bathroom doors martly 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 a back.

"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.
