My CEO Daddy

Seven years ago, Nicole had also been drugged, and as a result she gave up her virginity to a stranger.

Even though she would always try to talk herself out of how what happened wasn't a big deal, deep down she couldn't truly let it go. Yet, she never expected Bonnie to have gone through the same.

A trace of doubt crossed Kerr's face as he listened to Nicole's accusation.

"I have nothing to do with Ken's business."

He didn't want to take the fall for Ken. Nicole had been keeping him at arm's length. She had finally let her guard down a bit, but she was cold to him again because of Ken's mistake.

After hearing Kerr's words, Nicole closed her eyes and took a few moments to process everything. Once she opened her eyelids again, there was no sign of anger in her face. Quite the contrary, she was uncharacteristically calm.

"I apologize for what happened this morning. And I appreciate you for taking care of me last night and bringing me to the hospital. But now I'm all right. I can go back to work."

Nicole picked up her coat and walked out of the ward.

She couldn't let her emotions show in front of Kerr. She had almost revealed him too much, and she couldn't risk him finding anything out.

Kerr decided not to argue or force her to stay in the hospital. Instead, he drove her back to the Gu Group, not for a second forgetting about what he suspected.

In the next few days, Nicole kept avoiding Kerr, and as he didn't chase her anymore, she began to think he had given up.

With Kerr's personality and status, she didn't expect him to renounce the world for a woman. Especially for one who had been rejecting him.

The thought of it brought her a sense of relief, but she couldn't help feeling disappointed as well.

"Director Ning, the Chu Group's CEO, Jeremy Chu, is already waiting in the conference room. Mr. Gu requested you would receive him."

As soon as Lily delivered the message, she noticed Nicole wasn't her usual self. Although she was sitting right there in the office, her eyes were unfocused and her thoughts were certainly elsewhere, which left Lily to wonder.

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.

On the other hand, if Jeremy chose to decline the Gu Group's offer, that would be a great loss for him. He was perfectly aware of this, even more than she was.

As Jeremy acknowledged that Nicole Ning was determined enough to get what she wanted, his eyes glinted with surprise. He looked at her with admiration even though she blocked every way out he had in mind.

He was faced with a hard choice, but he also knew there was only one he could make at this point.

"I have to say, Mr. Gu is really good at choosing his people. You're a powerful addition to this company, Miss Ning. Of course I hope to become a long-term partner to the Gu Group, and I also look forward to hearing more from you soon."

Nicole briefly smiled, content with Jeremy's recognition.

"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Chu. With the plan I've shown you, the collaboration between the Chu Group and the Gu Group will be mutually beneficial. It's our honor to work with you."

Nicole's words fell to the sound of the door suddenly being pushed open from the outside. She looked towards the entrance and watched Kerr walking in, holding nothing but a cool look on his face. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see."

Jeremy promptly stood up to greet Kerr. Now that the Chu Group was about to close the deal with the Gu Group, he needed to show respect to Kerr, even if this meant looking past any rude behavior previously exhibited.
