Kris Cooper draped his suit jacket over Vera Wave's damp clothes. He raised an eyebrow; seeing the waiter still stunned, he frowned and was about to snap, but the waiter quickly regained his composure.
"Please wait a moment. I'll have your bill ready shortly."
Moments later, Kris Cooper, with Vera shrouded in his suit jacket, carried her out of the private room. Vera, still clutching an empty wine bottle, was struggling and shouting incoherently.
"Let me go... I haven't even had my dessert yet…"
Her voice immediately attracted many curious glances. When Kris Cooper swept his gaze over them, everyone quickly turned their faces away, not daring to look again.
Exiting the restaurant, he pushed her into the back seat of a taxi. Kris Cooper then pushed her feet fully inside before sitting down next to her.
"Sir, where to?"
Putting his hand up to stop her head as it slid towards the window, Kris Cooper replied in a deep voice.
"Esteredge Residental Area."
