Chapter 10 Kill It In The Cradle
"Thank you for helping me out today, Mr. Graham. I wish you a good evening."
Nicole tried to squeeze out a smile, but her cheek ached in pain. "Ouch!" she cried out instinctively, which was noticed by Kerr.
He held her hand just when she was about to get out of the car. Nicole was surprised by the sudden contact, and was even more puzzled when she saw a glint of warmth in his eyes. She thought she was imagining things.
"Where are you going if you're not going home?"
He scanned their surroundings and noticed a pharmacy nearby. It suddenly dawned on him that Nicole wanted to go inside the pharmacy.
"I can't go home like this. Jay will worry about me," answered Nicole softly.
When her gaze met the concerned eyes of Kerr, she was slightly stunned. The warmth of his hand on hers made her a little uncomfortable. This was the second time that Kerr took her hand today.
Kerr gave a signal to the driver. The driver unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car and walked towards the pharmacy.
Now that they were left alone in the car, Nicole felt even more embarrassed and uncomfortable. She tried hard to think of words to say to break the heavy silence between them.
"Mr. Graham, won't members of the Gibson Group think we are insincere because we left the event early? I'll go to their headquarters and explain it to them tomorrow. I don't want my personal affairs to affect the prospects of the company."
She looked at him earnestly.
Since what happened today was her fault, she would bravely take the responsibility and be responsible for the consequences.
"You'd better worry about yourself rather than the partnership. I don't want my employees to become the focus of attention tomorrow."
There was a sense of helplessness in Kerr's eyes when he said that. He was obviously concerned about her, but he didn't want to be outspoken about it.
His tone surprised Nicole. Just now, he sounded like Jay. In other words, she finally knew whom Jay inherited his character from.
