CHAPTER 170: CHAPTER 170: JUST THE TWO OF THEM? (1)

Vera Wave leaned against the door frame, watching Maggie Clarke’s completely transformed demeanor, and simply shook her head.

If she had known it would come to this, why did she even bother in the first place?

Walking to the living room, she took out her phone from her bag, quickly edited a text message, and sent it to Kris Cooper.

"Mr. President, thank you for swooping in just in time to save the damsel in distress!"

After sending the text, there was no response for a moment. Just when she was about to put away her phone, Kris Cooper’s call came in, and she hurriedly answered.

"How thankful are you?"

Kris Cooper’s tone was imperious and direct.

"Um..." Vera was taken aback by his question. She thought for a moment. "Outside the residential complex where we live, there’s an Esme County snack bar. How about... I treat you to a rice dish?"

"Six-thirty tonight, I’ll be there on time. I still have a lunch appointment with a few Chairmen, so I’ll hang up now."

"Oh!"

Vera acknowledged. She suddenly remembered her appointment with Nathan Leafcastle and was just about to say that tonight wouldn’t work, but Kris Cooper had already hung up.

"Miss Wave, come and see, will these photos do?" The voice of the photographer came over.

"Oh, I’m coming!" Vera quickly put away her phone and ran over to look at the photos displayed on the camera.

This time, Maggie Clarke cooperated very well with the photoshoot, and the photos turned out quite good.

"They’re good, carry on!"

The photographer continued shooting, and Dior Perkin walked over, handing Vera a bottle of water.

"Your big boss is quite something, always looking after his employees like this."

If Kris Cooper hadn’t shown up just now, Maggie Clarke might have really packed up and left. Dior Perkin had no idea about Kris Cooper’s relationship with Vera and simply assumed he was looking out for his company’s people.

Vera smiled. "Isn’t that expected? Even though I’m just a junior employee, I still represent the company’s image, don’t I?"

"That’s true." Dior Perkin nodded, gestured with his chin towards Maggie Clarke, and lowered his voice. "But I have to warn you, be careful dealing with her in the future. She’s a well-known green tea b***h in the circle."

Vera smiled gratefully at him. "I know."

She responded verbally but didn’t take it too seriously.

After all, Maggie was a superstar, while she herself was just a junior employee. They wouldn’t even be working together if it weren’t for this project, and they’d likely never cross paths again.

After chatting with Dior Perkin for a while, Vera was about to explain to Kris Cooper that she was not available tonight and would treat him another time. Just then, a call came in from the company asking about the progress of the photos.

Amidst her busyness, the matter slipped her mind.

By twelve o’clock, the photoshoot was successfully completed. The photographer transferred the photos to a USB thumb drive. Vera then hurried to catch a vehicle. She took the USB drive back to the company and delivered it to the Design Department, which was under the Advertising Department.

While still on the road, her phone rang. It was Manager Sam Davis calling her to his office.

Vera didn’t dare to delay. She rushed back to the company, delivered the USB thumb drive to the Design Department, and then hurried to Manager Sam Davis’s office.

"Sit down!" Manager Sam Davis invited her to take a seat with a smile. "I’ve reviewed your proposal. It’s very creative and highly appropriate for this project, but... it’s not complete. The proposal I need isn’t just a planning concept; it needs more detailed content."

Getting such feedback for her first proposal was already a great start for Vera.

"Okay, I’ll revise it immediately."
