CHAPTER 220: CHAPTER 221: LIVING OFF ONE’S LOOKS—WHAT’S THERE TO BE PROUD OF?

"Don’t be nervous, it’s Kenton." Kris Cooper reassured Vera Wave and then raised his voice, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and sure enough, Kenton Maverick stepped in.

Vera quietly peeked out from behind the desk. Seeing it was him, she immediately stood up with a smile, pulled out a notebook and pen from her bag, and ran over, looking admiringly at Kenton Maverick’s handsome face.

"Kenton, I’m your loyal fan. Could you sign an autograph for me?"

Kris Cooper frowned, but Vera kept eagerly staring at Kenton Maverick.

"Sure."

Kenton Maverick smiled, reached out, and took the pen to sign his name in her notebook.

The legendary cool film star was right in front of her. Of course, Vera wouldn’t let the chance slip by easily.

"So... can we take a picture together?"

"Of course."

"You’re so easygoing!"

Vera turned around happily, placed the notebook and pen on the table, and quickly took out her phone and ran over.

She opened the camera for a selfie, but because her arm wasn’t long enough, the effect was really bad, so she simply ran over and handed the phone to Kris Cooper.

"Can you take it for us?"

Handing the phone to Kris Cooper, she turned back and ran to stand beside Kenton Maverick.

With a glance at Kris Cooper’s sour face, Kenton Maverick lifted his arm and gently put it around Vera’s shoulder.

Vera was initially a bit reserved, after all, he was a movie star. Seeing him so proactive, she immediately cozied up to Kenton Maverick, tilting her head against his arm.

Ungrateful little girl, using him and then tossing him aside!

Seeing her cling affectionately to Kenton Maverick’s arm, Kris Cooper wished he could swat her away.

"Hurry up and take the picture!"

Vera was still urging, unaware of the trouble.

Kris Cooper lifted the phone and took a picture. Vera immediately ran over to grab the phone.

On the screen, there was only one photo, showing a man with a slightly furrowed brow, looking displeased. It wasn’t of her and Kenton Maverick at all, but of Kris Cooper.

The little girl immediately pouted unhappily, "I asked you to take our photo, not a selfie! You have to press this, this switches the camera, you have to use the other camera..."

Beside them, Kenton Maverick chuckled softly.

Sensing the tension, Vera looked up to see the man in front of her with a face as dark as the sky before a storm.

"Take what picture!" Kris Cooper snatched her phone away, "Are you really so free? Weren’t you supposed to be looking for actors? Where are your colleagues?"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about Merlin." Vera quickly took her phone back from him, "I’ll be going then."

She walked over to Kenton Maverick with her bag, raised her phone, and took a selfie of the two of them.

"You two keep busy, I’ll see myself out." Waving at them, she opened the door and stepped outside, not forgetting to turn and smile at Kenton Maverick, "It was an honor to meet you, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Kenton Maverick smiled and replied.

Seeing Kris Cooper standing there sulking, Vera swallowed hard, quickly closed the door, and trotted away.

Kenton Maverick’s smile faded, "Looks like she doesn’t remember me at all."

"What’s the point of her remembering you?"

Someone nearby spoke with a distinctly jealous tone.

Kenton Maverick shrugged, "Even if she doesn’t remember me, it’s clear she still likes me."

Kris Cooper pouted, "You’re just relying on your looks, what’s there to be proud of?"

Kenton Maverick touched his face, "In your opinion... if I pursued her, would it be a bit easier?"
