I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 350: Mr. Boss Turns the Tide (Part 1)
Watching Kris Cooper walk over, Merlin Bradley and Lisa Wong instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
This kind of event turning out like this, the CEO is bound to get angry.
Lisa Wong was trembling all over with fear, and Merlin Bradley wasn’t much better off. She gritted her teeth, took a small step forward, and stood in front of Vera Wave.
"Pre... President..."
She originally intended to let Vera take the blame, but she was so scared that her lips were trembling, and she couldn’t speak fluently.
Kris Cooper didn’t look at her; his gaze only fell on Vera Wave.
He stopped just a step away from her and then extended his hand towards her.
At that moment, everyone on and off the stage was filled with surprise.
The only ones with calm expressions were Kris Cooper himself and Kenton Maverick.
Holding Kris Cooper’s phone, Kenton Maverick got up from his seat and walked towards the Storage Room.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the stage, and even the nearby top management didn’t pay much attention to Kenton Maverick’s movement as they were also sweating nervously over Kris Cooper and Ashton’s situation.
On the stage.
Vera Wave’s gaze slid down from Kris Cooper’s face to his outstretched hand, and then she looked back at him in confusion.
What... what does he mean by this?!
"Vera." Kris Cooper’s lips slightly curved, "Give me your hand."
His voice was incredibly gentle.
Just a few words, yet it inexplicably calmed her nervousness.
He must have a way!
This thought naturally arose in Vera Wave’s mind.
Without hesitation, she lifted her own hand, reaching out to him.
At this point, she couldn’t care less about their relationship status; she was only concerned about how to turn the situation around, without affecting the event and the project.
After all, this was Ashton’s major project, and with so many media and journalists present, Ashton couldn’t afford to lose face.
Reaching his hand out, Kris Cooper caught her small hand that she had extended, his fingers slightly open, enveloping her cold hand in his palm.
The man’s hand was broad and warm, making her increasingly relaxed.
Beside them, Merlin Bradley and Lisa Wong were completely baffled.
They originally thought the CEO would lose his temper, but instead... instead, he held her hand?!
With a slight smile on his lips, Kris Cooper led Vera Wave back to the center of the stage, released her small hand, and lifted his hand to straighten her slightly tousled hair.
"Were you scared just now?"
He was still holding the microphone, so not only could she hear him clearly, but the whole world could hear him clearly too.
Vera Wave nodded, then shook her head.
"I... I’m sorry."
"Silly girl!"
He raised his hand, and the hand that had been straightening her hair fell onto her shoulder, gently pulling her into his embrace.
The entire audience held their breath.
Lisa Wong’s mouth dropped open, her chubby chin nearly hitting the floor.
How did they end up... hugging?!
And calling her "silly girl"?
What... what kind of situation is this?!
The sound of a piano began to play softly, accompanied by a gentle female voice singing a tender melody.
"I’m afraid it won’t be in time, I want to hold you..."
The big screen lit up again, and then a picture appeared.
In the picture, Kris Cooper and Vera Wave are taking a selfie with a phone. Vera Wave is quietly lying sideways on a pillow, sleeping soundly, while Kris Cooper is squatting beside her bed, leaning in to gently kiss her forehead.
Even though it was a side profile, such a delicate side profile made it easy for anyone to recognize the person in the photo as Kris Cooper.
