Chapter 23
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Ever since Sonia returned home last night, she was in a bad mood, so she drank until midnight. In a daze, she didnât sleep long before she was awakened by a phone ringing.
Slowly coming to her senses, she reached for her phone that was on the bedside table and answered, âHello?â
âPresident Reed, itâs me-Daphne.â
Upon hearing the other partyâs
spontaneous introduction, Sonia sobered up a bit and quickly
remembered who she was.
The person on the other end was Charlesâ secretary. Charles was afraid that after she entered Paradigm Co., she would have none of her own people around her, so he gave his secretary to her âWhatâs the matter?â Sonia asked while walking toward the bathroom.
Daphne informed, âThere are a few urgent documents that you need to settle at the company. When will you be coming to the office?â
Sonia figured the matter was very urgent, so she glanced at the time on her phone. âAround 8.30AM.â
âAll right.â
After hanging up the phone, Sonia washed her face with cold water and lelt much better. But, she drank a lot of wine last night, so her head still hurt.
She looked in the mirror, and her expression was a little unpleasant.
After washing up, Sonia tightly pursed her lips when she left the bedroom and saw the state of the living room.
I mustâve been out of my mind last night to have drunk so much.
When Sonia arrived at the office, it was 8.30AM sharp. She had just set one foot down in the office when Daphne appeared behind her.
âPresident Reed, this is the urgent document that needs to be signed.â
âOkay.â While opening the file, she asked the secretary, âHas the contract with Dwells been signed?â
âOriginally, it was supposed to be signed at 9.00AM today, but Dwells regretted it,â Daphne reported helplessly.
âTheyâre not signing it anymore?â Sonia frowned and took out her phone. Til call Charles and ask him to talk to them.â
Daphne hurriedly said, âPresident Reed, donât call him. He was going to go to Dwells to talk business with them thi moming, but after answering a call, he told me that thereâs something at his company that he needs to deal with, so heâll deal with Dwellsâ contract when he comes back.â
Upon hearing this, Sonia stopped calling him.
She was so focused on getting Charles to help that she almost forgot he had his own company to run and that he had a lot to deal with too.
Seeing that Sonia was silent, Daphne asked, âThen, President Reed, may leave?â
âHelp me check Dwellsâ bossâ Itinerary for today.â After taking a deep breath, Sonia ordered her secretary. âReport to me as soon as you find out. Iâll settle these few documents first.â
Daphne was taken aback. âDidnât Charles say to wait for him to come back to deal with it?â
âHeâs very busy as well, so I canât wait for him to handle everything.â Sonia pursed her lips. âBesides, now that Iâm in this position, I have to learn whatever it is I donât know yet.
Otherwise, Iâll be criticized before I secure my position.â
âOkay. You do your work, President Reed. Iâll go find out.â Daphne quickly left the office, leaving Sonia alone to busy herself with work.
Because Sonia had only recently come into contact with these matters, added with the fact that there were many jargons in the documents, the speed at which she read the documents was extremely slow, so by noon, only one third of them had been processed.
After hastily eating the lunch sent by her secretary, she continued to look through the rest.
It was only at 2.30PM that she finished processing all the documents.
Sonia rubbed her sore neck and when she saw the phone on the table light up to indicate that there was a new message, she opened it to check.
Carl: âSonia, the company has arranged a job for me. I need to go to Palmont for a business trip for two months. Because of the time difference, I canât reply to your messages in time. If you
encounter an emergency, you can call the number I left for you.â
Sonia: âAll right. Take care of yourself there.â
As soon as Sonia replied to his message, another message popped up at the top of the screen, telling her that money had been transferred into one of her bank accounts. When she saw the amount, her eyes widened slightly 90 million Could it be that Charles has already sold the Oceanâs Heart?
At this moment, Carl sent another message: âl know Paradigm Co.âs situation isnât good now, and you need some liquid funds. You can use this money first. Tell me if it isnât enough.â
Sonia: âI still have money in my account. If Iâm really in trouble, Iâll ask Charles for help. I canât take your money.â
Carlâs reply came in an instant. âSix years ago, if it werenât for your help. I ÎÎ uldnâ be ÎÎΩ ÎÎ Î Î ÎÎÎ Îγ ÎÎÎÎ ÎÎ¥ belongs to you, Sonia.â
Soniaâs heart felt warm when she saw his message, and she stopped refusing Sonia: âOkay. Iâll treat it as you lending money to Paradigm Co. When we rise, the money will be given back to you, plus interest.â
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
âCome in.â
Daphne pushed open the door and walked in with a box of fruits in her arms. âPresident Reed, the delivery man from Four Seasons Orchard sent this.â
After that, Daphne took a secret glance at Sonia. She saw that Sonia was Smiling slightly, seemingly happy. She thought to herself. Does President Reed know who sent the fruits?
Sonia opened the box and saw that it was full of mangoes.
After feeling surprised, she soon remembered that Charles often gave her food and knew what she liked to eat, so she figured that Charles bought it from the Four Seasons Orchard.
Sonia shifted her gaze away from the box of mangoes and asked, âDid you find out where the boss of Dwells is?â
âI did.â Daphne hurriedly replied. âToday happens to be Friday, and Dwellsâ boss usually goes to Sakura Heights with his friends at 2.00PM to play cards. Iâve sent you the address on Messenger.â
âOkay.â Sonia got up and put on her coat. âWhen Paradigm Co.âs situation improves, Iâll give you a raise.â
âThank you, President Reed.â Daphne was overjoyed.
She remembered that there was going to be a heavy rainstorm today, so she chased after Sonia to remind her to bring an umbrella, but she later found that Sonia had already entered the elevator, and her gossip-prone colleagues had surrounded her.
Her nosy colleagues were anxiously asking, âDid President Reed say anything when she saw the box of mangoes?â
âShe just opened the box and took a glance.â Daphne spread her hands wide and was also quite puzzled. âEven the companyâs cleaners know about the matter between President Fuller and President Reed. Why is it that even though the two are divorced, President Fuller still sends fruits to Paradigm Co.
for her?â
âCould it be that President Fuller regrets the divorce?â
âHowâs that possible! Everyone in the industry knows that President Fuller loves Miss Tina. He even proposed to her with the Oceanâs Heart!â
âMaybe President Fuller feels that after the divorce, the two parties can still become business partners.â
âOur company is about to go bankrupt;
no one wants to acquire it, let alone President Fuller!â
The gossip went on and on.
When Sonia was on the way to Sakura Heights, it suddenly rained, and it got considerably heavier.

The path was very close to the hall, but because of the heavy rain, Sonia still got wet, and her whole body was trembling when the cold wind blew.
