My CEO Daddy

"I'll just keep Jay to believe that Baron is a good friend to me. There's no need for Jay to know who he really is."

The only thing she wished for in that moment was Kerr to understand her. If he ever found out that she was lying to him, he would let Jay know that his mother was a liar.

Nicole promised to herself that she would always teach Jay good values, such as telling the truth. Although she had to lie to Kerr for her own sake, she would never let her lie to be discovered by her child because he'd probably end up learning a bad habit.

Besides, she had a feeling that Kerr somehow drew Jay's attention a long time ago by persuading him and making some kind of deal between them.

"Baron will never get the respect that Jay has for me. He didn't acknowledge himself as Jay's father and I know he won't do it now.

I can assure you that you'll realize that I'm better for you and Jay rather than Baron. I don't care if your relationship with him was relevant or not."

Kerr kept his sight at her with such kindness.

Kerr was probably the hardest man on Earth to trick. He could tell with ease that no signs of love or any type of emotion manifested in Nicole's eyes when she talked about Baron.

Deep inside of Kerr, he truly felt that there wasn't place awaiting for Baron in Nicole's heart.

"I appreciate that you agreed to keep Baron's true identity to Jay as a secret, Mr. Gu. But I'd like to maintain the situation as it currently is. It's been quite a long time since Jay and I've been living together, I don't want anything or anyone to come and change it all.

And judging by the time, I think I should get inside the apartment. Thank you so much for the ride back home."

Nicole gave a sign of gratitude to Kerr, turned to her right to pull the car door's trigger and got out. She wouldn't look back until she was sure that he had left as she was walking towards the building.

She took a deep breath and released a sigh of satisfaction as she watched the black Porsche vanish.

She didn't deny it though. She was scared to hell in his car because she thought that he would question her about the truth in any second. Fortunately, she succeeded in hiding her fear with calmness.

In case that anything wrong had happened in that car, she wouldn't have known how to

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.

"Cool, let me check it."

After hearing that it was Nicole who sent Lily to Kerr's office, she made cheerful noises.

It was explicit that Sunny had a personal matter with Nicole. She saw Nicole getting out of Kerr's car yesterday. Therefore, she thought that Nicole was looking for any chance to reach out to Kerr today.

She took the document and carefully scanned it as she turned around. She didn't find any notes with messages in the document. She turned back again and handed the document back to Lily abruptly.

"I guess that you're professional enough to notice what the mistake is here. You have no idea the losses that this company may suffer with such errors like this! You seriously need to take a training course again! Go and hand back this atrocity to your director and ask her to redo it."

Sunny was apparently mad as she aggressively shouted at Lily.

Lily couldn't believe what she just witnessed. She felt truly blown away as she headed her way back to Nicole's desk with concerning eyes.

Lily had always been confident when it came to Nicole's performance in the company since she hardly ever made mistakes. Nevertheless, Sunny looked pretty serious. So she decided to check it out with Nicole.

As Kerr could also hear Sunny's heated show, he asked Jared without even bothering to land his sight on him. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Could you go and check that everything is alright, please? And take the chance to tell Sunny that she's working in one of the biggest companies in the city, not in some kind of vegetable market."
