I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 387 Too Unscrupulous (5)【Extra Update】

Everyone turned their gaze at the same time, only to see their own big BOSS, Kris Cooper, casually strolling in. He was wearing a shirt, his suit jacket slung over one shoulder with his fingers hooked around it.

"Honey..." Vera almost blurted out the term of endearment, but she quickly realized her mistake and shifted to more formal office language. "Boss, you’re here!"

Kris Cooper’s charming eyes shifted to her, and he gave her a playful eye-roll. The whole world knew about their relationship; what was the harm in calling him "Honey"?

Vera just grinned at him in response.

"Tommy Taylor, call and book a large private room!" Kris Cooper instructed Tommy Taylor, then walked up to Vera, took the handbag she was holding, and said, "Let’s go."

Seeing this, Vera boldly wrapped an arm around his. "Alright everyone, hurry up! Let’s all go down together."

As everyone quickly packed up, Vera introduced Isla Hawskin to Kris Cooper.

"Kris, let me introduce you."

"Not necessary," Kris smiled. "I know my own employees. Isla Hawskin from Glimmer’s Administration Department, right?"

He already had a comprehensive understanding of the people around Vera. While he hadn’t personally interacted with Isla at the company, he had already thoroughly investigated her background.

Isla chuckled. "You don’t miss a thing, BOSS!"

By this time, everyone else was also ready.

Kris Cooper led the way out of the office, and the large group filed into the elevator. Given Kris’s status, everyone was very cautious and didn’t dare to speak.

They arrived at a Hot Pot Restaurant diagonally across from Ashton’s. After walking into the Private Room and everyone had taken their seats around the large table, Kris Cooper signaled Tommy Taylor once the cold dishes were served.

"Pour everyone a drink for me."

Isla immediately stood up. "Allow me," she said, taking the glasses from Tommy Taylor. "I’m good at this!"

After Isla had filled everyone’s glass, Kris Cooper lifted his own.

"For this first toast, I’m not speaking as your president, but as Vera’s fiancé." He surveyed everyone present, his gaze finally landing on Vera’s face. His free left arm rose and gently covered Vera’s small hand, which was resting on her lap. His eyes, full of adoration, gazed at the petite woman before him. Only after a moment did he turn back to the others, his tone sincere as he spoke, "This girl of mine, Vera, has been spoiled rotten by me. If she has offended any of you in any way, please bear with her. And don’t worry, I’ll make sure there are more bonuses for everyone in the future!"

His words made the whole table burst into laughter, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed.

After all, he was the big BOSS, and most of them didn’t know him well. His previous arrogant and domineering behavior during the company event, in particular, had left a very deep impression on the staff from the Planning Department, so they were naturally quite wary of him.

But now, seeing him speak and act without any airs, their nervousness eased considerably.

"Alright, I’ll drink first!"

Raising his glass, Kris tilted his head back and drained it in one go. Everyone else quickly raised their glasses and did the same.

As the dishes began to arrive, everyone started eating, drinking, and chatting more freely.

"Boss, speaking of which, when are you going to marry our Vera?" Isla was the first to broach the topic.

Kris glanced at Vera and smiled.

"Soon."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s toast the BOSS and Vera!" Isla immediately stood up. "Get the wine, I’ll pour for the BOSS!"

Kris accepted her offer without hesitation, still downing the drink in one go.

Everyone else also toasted him one after another, and he, just as readily, drained his glass each time.

Seeing him consume alcohol this way, Vera couldn’t help but feel worried.

"Kris, maybe you should drink a little less?"
