As the elevator ascended, Kris Cooper kept hold of Vera Wave's hand. She stood beside him, her heart tightening unconsciously with the elevator's movement.
When the elevator reached their floor, he led her out without hesitation, striding into the CEO Office.
"You're all dismissed!"
After instructing everyone, he strode towards his private office. Vera fervently wished she could disappear into the ground. However, he gave her no such chance, pulling her directly into his office.
Turning around, Kris Cooper raised an arm and firmly shut the door behind her.
Vera was startled and bumped into his chest. Before she could step back, his arms had already wrapped around her waist.
Listening to the forceful, rapid beat of his heart, her own pulse quickened.
He locked the door with one hand. He then cupped her small face, and without uttering an unnecessary word, leaned in, seeking her lips.
"Kris…" Vera nervously raised her hand to his face. "The window… the window!"
