CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 190 IF IT’S NOT BECAUSE I LOVE YOU (2)

She couldn’t find the contract now, and she had to inform him. Given his status, he could surely find a way to resolve it. Otherwise, if this matter was exposed, he would rip her apart.

Upon hearing her mention the contract and recalling her signature on it, Kris Cooper’s face softened slightly.

"And then?"

"And then..." Vera Wave stole a glance at him. Seeing his expression remain calm, she plucked up the courage to continue, "I’ve searched all over my desk but couldn’t find it. I suspect it might have been left in the conference room earlier, but I went searching and still couldn’t find it. I’ve even looked in the trash cans in the hallway—nothing. I’m thinking it might have been thrown away by the cleaner... Maybe I should go check the trash cans downstairs..."

"You didn’t want to sign it anyway. Why are you looking for it?"

"I...I..." Vera Wave bit her lip. "I’m worried... it might have a negative impact on you."

"If that’s the case, why didn’t you destroy it?"

"I..."

Wasn’t it because she was afraid he would get upset? So she had thought that signing the contract would stop him from being angry. She was so stupid. He obviously didn’t care about it at all now, yet she had made such a mess of things.

"I...I’ll go find the contract first."

Vera Wave turned, quickly walked over, and opened the door.

"No need to look for it."

No need to look for it?

Vera Wave was stunned. What did he mean by ’no need to look for it’?

She turned to Kris Cooper, confused. "But what if someone else sees it..."

Seeing her so anxious and flustered, he really couldn’t bear to see her like this.

"It’s with me!"

Vera Wave’s heart leaped with joy, then her eyebrows furrowed.

So, he must have seen her signature. He didn’t even care, so why did she bother signing it...

Despite feeling utterly humiliated, she hurriedly said, "Don’t misunderstand! That signature... I was just practicing my handwriting. It wasn’t for the contract!"

Damn girl!

Kris Cooper thought. Would it kill her to admit she likes him?

He felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.

"Don’t worry, I didn’t misunderstand!"

"Oh... that... that’s good... Then... goodbye!"

Vera Wave hurriedly opened the door and ran out of the restroom like a fugitive, frantically dashing to the right.

Kris Cooper came out after her, only to see her doubling back—she had panicked and run into a dead end in her haste.

Seeing Kris Cooper emerge from the restroom, Vera Wave suppressed the sadness in her heart and forced a smile. "President, take your time. I... I’ll go press the elevator for you."

Without giving Kris Cooper a chance to speak, she sprinted to the elevator, pressed the down button for him, then turned and darted into the stairwell.

By the time Kris Cooper looked over, he only saw the elevator doors closing. Not a trace of her remained.

Kris Cooper took out his phone and dialed her number. After a moment, a recorded female voice came through: "Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off!"

Kris Cooper lowered his right hand, still holding the phone. He dialed the Advertising Department’s number, then fiercely hung up.

He had promised her he wouldn’t let others know they knew each other. If he really made this call, it would definitely expose their relationship. Her work in the company would undoubtedly be affected in the future.

Even if she worked harder, others would just think she was coasting on her connection to him, Kris Cooper. That wasn’t what he wanted.

"Damn it!"

Muttering under his breath, Kris Cooper walked into the elevator, went straight to the underground parking lot, started his car, and drove towards the Peace Community.
