I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 431 - 430: The Girl from Six Years Ago (Part 34)

"Okay, I’ll go with you tonight."

Hearing that he would go too, Vera Wave frowned slightly.

"You won’t argue with her again, will you?"

"It’s okay, we’ve been bantering since we were kids!"

Since childhood, bantering every day?

Vera raised her eyebrows, "Have you known her for a long time?"

"Since birth." Kris Cooper placed his hands on her shoulders, his tone a mix of amusement and helplessness, "Because... she’s my mom!"

"So she’s your mom..." Halfway through her sentence, the little girl exploded in shock, "Your mom?!"

If that’s his mom, then isn’t she her future mother-in-law?

Vera pouted, truly at a loss for words.

Because of the inconvenience of her injury, Kris Cooper picked out all her clothes today, choosing ones that were easy to put on and take off.

The top was a loose T-shirt, and the bottom elastic sweatpants, with slip-on canvas shoes on her feet.

In the morning, she just hastily washed her face, applied a little skincare cream with one hand, and her left hand couldn’t do makeup, leaving her completely bare-faced...

Thinking she met her future mother-in-law looking like this, she regretted it so much she felt like vomiting blood.

Originally, Kris Cooper wanted to take her home, but she refused out of vanity, insisting on waiting until the bandage from her hand injury was removed.

Vera was determined to wait until she recovered, to dress beautifully to meet her future in-laws, hoping to leave a good first impression, never expecting her prospective mother-in-law would suddenly visit the company in disguise.

"Waaah... If I had known, I wouldn’t have come to work today!"

"It’s okay!" Kris Cooper smiled, cupping her little face, "My mom doesn’t judge by appearances."

"Really?"

He nodded.

She bit her lip, paused, and then raised her face.

"Can you leave work on time today?"

"What’s up?"

"I want to buy an outfit."

"No need to fuss, my mom’s already seen you."

"But what if... your dad comes too?" She pouted, "I don’t care, I want to look beautiful anyway."

"Alright!" he agreed with a smile, "I’ll try to come down early to pick you up, and then we can go buy clothes, do your hair, and makeup."

Only then did she nod in satisfaction, raising her left hand to wave at him.

"I’m going to work now, see you this afternoon, hubby!"

With that, she turned and ran off.

Kris Cooper stood where he was, watching her slip back into the office, shaking his head.

A little opportunist, discarding him as soon as she didn’t need him.

In the afternoon.

After discussing with Archie Perkin, Vera held a department-wide meeting in the Planning Department, merging two small teams into one to prepare for the big project together.

In the meeting, Vera earnestly gave some opinions and suggestions on Archie Perkin’s plan. With the collaboration of the two major forces, everyone had the opportunity to participate in such a big project, which kept the enthusiasm high.

During the meeting, everyone demonstrated great enthusiasm, even Mary actively spoke up.

Archie Perkin also exhibited great magnanimity, "I think Mary’s suggestion is good; we can consider it."

Mary felt secretly surprised and a little guilty.

After the meeting concluded, she hesitated for a moment, then walked up to Archie Perkin to apologize.

"Archie, I’m sorry, the USB drive..."

"I know, you found it, right?" Archie Perkin smiled up at her, "It’s okay."

Mary met her gaze, was taken aback, and then broke into a smile.
