I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 354: Mr. Boss Turns the Tide (Part 5)
"Meeting?" Mary frowned, "What kind of meeting is this at this hour?"
"I know, right!" Kylo Sail looked around, "Let’s go, let’s head back to the conference hall and find a place to sit for a while."
The two of them walked back to the conference hall together.
In the conference hall, people were leaving in an orderly fashion, while a staff member stepped onto the stage.
"Could all of Ashton’s employees or the Exhibition Company staff remain behind? Mr. Cooper is going to have a brief meeting!"
Mary pouted, "This is just so bizarre!"
Kylo Sail bit her lip, opened her handbag, and glanced at the small USB drive inside. A flicker of panic flashed in her eyes.
Her gaze fell on the trash can not far away, and she pinched the USB drive with her fingers, intending to get up.
Mary sensed her movement and turned her face in confusion.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh... nothing."
Kylo Sail feared Mary would notice, so she adjusted her skirt and sat back in her chair.
When Mary turned away to look elsewhere, Kylo Sail bit her lip again, quietly reached out her hand, and slipped the USB drive into her backpack.
Withdrawing her fingers, she gripped her small handbag tightly and took a deep breath.
Soon, all the guests in the conference hall had vacated, and the journalists were cleared out by security.
Only the staff responsible for this exhibition and Ashton’s employees who came for the event remained in the large hall.
Down below.
Vera Wave spoke softly, "It’s all my fault, I should have reviewed the PowerPoint one more time before we started!"
Kris Cooper reassured her by smoothing her hair, "It’s not your fault."
Events like these are impossible to foresee in advance.
"Ashton won’t be affected, will it?" Vera looked up worriedly.
"Don’t worry, I believe, with this proposal, the project is likely to be highly publicized." Kris Cooper’s thumb lightly brushed her cheek, and he used a handkerchief to wipe the tears that lingered at the corners of her eyes, "But... things might be a bit more troublesome for you in the future. I’ve really run out of options, and could only resort to this plan."
The incident happened so suddenly that if they didn’t announce their relationship, both her reputation and Ashton’s reputation would be affected.
For public relations purposes, this was the best solution, but it would be harsh on her. From now on, she might be burdened by his identity.
"Thank you, hubby, for creating the buzz for me. Do you think I’ll make the headlines tomorrow?!" Vera’s lips curved up into a smile, and she made a face at him, "Hubby, your wife is now a celebrity too!"
At this point, he had no other choice, and she would never blame him.
Since she chose to be with him, this matter would be exposed sooner or later; it just happened sooner than she expected.
"You little tease!" Kris Cooper affectionately pinched her cheek, then turned to look downstairs, his eyes already tinged with coldness, "Find a place to sit for a while, I’ll see who’s got the guts!"
He led her down from the stage and settled her on a chair next to Kenton Maverick, then stood up straight, his captivating eyes scanning the surroundings with sharpness.
At this moment, Tommy Taylor had already gathered all the remaining staff to sit on the front chairs.
Everyone sat on the chairs, waiting for Kris Cooper to "hold the meeting" for everyone.
Without needing a command, Tommy Taylor walked over and handed him the microphone.
Taking the microphone, Kris Cooper’s gaze swept over everyone present.
"I’ll give you one chance." The man raised his right hand, curling his index and thumb, each word brimmed with dominance and authority, "Before I count to three, step forward, or else... bear the consequences!"
