I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 351: Mr. Boss Turns the Tide (Part 2)

This photo was, of course, taken by Kris Cooper. Just now, he handed his phone to Kenton Maverick to have him release the photo.

A side face, glancing at the screen nearby displaying the image from the podium, Kenton Maverick reached over and adjusted the volume on the mixing console.

The music lowered, turning into background music.

He then turned his face, looking at Ruben Campbell, and ordered in a low tone.

"Bring in security to seal the exit, don’t let a single employee of Ashton or potential staff who might enter this Storage Room escape!"

Ruben Campbell froze for a second, then responded quickly and dashed out of the Storage Room.

Watching Ruben Campbell dash out, Kenton Maverick gave a nod to the staff nearby, who then turned and exited the Storage Room.

For the upcoming important moment, he of course wanted to witness it personally for his friend.

On the podium.

Kris Cooper swiftly unfastened the necklace from Vera Wave’s hand, released her from his embrace, and stepped back, casually holding the necklace in his hand.

Watching her, he slowly bent down, placing his right knee on the podium, and spoke into the microphone.

"Vera, I’m sorry for not discussing with you before preparing this surprise."

Vera Wave looked at him half-kneeling in front of her, her eyes wide open.

He... is he...

The melodious song continued.

"If I could give up the whole world

There’s at least you who makes it worth it

And having you here is life’s true miracle..."

Listening to those lyrics, the emotions in Kris Cooper’s eyes grew more intense.

He reached out a hand, took out the lily from the bouquet in his suit pocket, and presented it to her, speaking emotionally.

"Vera, ever since I saw you at the Peace neighborhood, I’ve known that you must be the one heaven has arranged for me..."

His words caused another wave of commotion.

"So, they knew each other for a long time?" Wang Xiaoya murmured.

"What do you mean a long time, clearly they’re a couple, right?" Merlin Bradley said.

No wonder, back on the set, the boss always protected Vera Wave. Indeed, they were originally a pair.

At this moment, journalists noticed the situation, rushing forward, unapologetically pressing the shutter aimed at the two on stage.

Below the stage, Mary also gaped in surprise.

"No way, this girl is way too lucky to have snagged the big BOSS?!"

"Ah, another good woman has been claimed!" a male colleague sighed nearby. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"What, you’re interested in her too? Take a look at yourself, can you compete with the boss?" another teased.

No one noticed that Kylo Sail’s hand holding her small bag was already trembling.

On the stage.

The voice of Kris Cooper continued.

"I know you don’t want to reveal everything in this manner, you want to prove you have enough strength to stand beside me. But that’s so unfair; we’re openly in love, there’s no need to hide... today you’ve already demonstrated your excellence, Peace neighborhood is about to be demolished, we can no longer live door to door..."

Vera Wave stood there, looking at the man who was taller than her but whom she was currently overlooking, unable to stop herself from sniffing.

She knew very well, it wasn’t like this.

The photo wasn’t released by him, he did this just to mend today’s situation.

In order to restore her innocence, in order to protect her, he opted for this approach.
