Chapter 86
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 86 Toby was looking at some charts on his tablet when he heard Jeanâs words, which made him frown a little. Tina had been glad to see Jeanâs attempts to bring Toby and her closer to each other, but her heart sank the moment she saw Tobyâs frown. âDo you not like the idea of me sharing a room with you, Toby?â Tina asked before she bit her lip He was just about to part his lips to speak when Jean gave him a light hit on the lap. âWhy would Toby not like that idea? Alright, itâs all set!â
âMom!â Tobyâs frown deepened. âThis isnât good for Tina. Weâre not married to each other yetâ Tinaâs face turned
pale upon hearing his words. Heâs still rejecting Madam White even after Madam White comes to a fixed decision. Has Toby ever considered how I feel in this situation?!
Meanwhile, Tyler, who had been calmly munching on an apple the whole time, felt oddly pleased when he saw
the color draining out of Tinaâs face. âWhy does it matter if youâre married? You guys are engaged, and you guys are going to stay in the same room eventually. Youâd just be doing it a little earlier now,â Jean muttered in a relaxed tone.
Toby turned to look at the woman beside him, who hung her head low. âThat would be disrespectful toward Tinaâ
he uttered.
âWhat has that got to do with disrespect? Tina is-â
Before Jean could finish her sentence, Tina spoke up. âItâs fine, Madam White,â she said while forcing a smile and shaking her head. âWe can forget it since Toby doesnât want to do it. There are tons of other rooms in the Fuller Residence. I can just stay in another one of them.â
âBut.â Jean was still rather dissatisfied; she wanted to continue talking about it.
Then, Tyler threw the core of his apple away before he dusted his hands. âYou should just forget it since thatâs what Tina wants, Mom. Toby needs to help me with my homework tonight. He wouldnât have time for Tina anyway.â
Toby shot his brother a glance, and his eyes glinted for a brief moment.
âHomework?â The puzzlement in Jeanâs eyes couldnât be concealed. It wasnât that she didnât believe in her own son; it was just that Tyler had never enjoyed studying in the past. It was therefore near-impossible for Tyler to want to work on his homework.
âWhat does that look in your eyes mean, Mom? Whatâs wrong with me wanting to work on my studies?â Tyler jumped up to his feet like a cat that just had its tail stepped on.
Jean pouted a little. âDidnât you say that youâre going to choose basketball over university? Whatâs the purpose of studying now then?â
âThatâs different. Iâll still have to study for my cultural classes even if I donât go to university. The basketball team will ban me from my competitions if my cultural subjectâs marks are too low. Come on, Tobyâ Tyler dragged Toby upstairs right after that. As Tina watched the brothers heading up the stairs, both of her hands were curled into tight fists.
Toby spoke after he shut the door behind them in the room. âYou did that on purpose, didnât you?â
In response, Tyler chuckled. âI did it for you. I only did it because you looked like you didnât want to stay in the same room as her.â There was another reason Tyler did such a thing-he wanted to get revenge for what Tina had done to him at the dining table. âWhy donât you want to stay with Tina, Toby?â With his gaze upon his brother, Tyler posed the question that had been on his mind.
Toby was stunned by the question, and he couldnât find the right answer to it. He didnât know why, but he could tell that he felt resistant to the idea; he and Tina had slept on different beds even while they were on holiday.
âAlright. Stop asking so many questions. Pull your books out, and Iâll help you out.â Toby was trying to change the subject.
Tyler widened his eyes. âNo way, Toby. That was just an excuse. Are you really going to help me with my homework?â
âHurry!â Toby snapped in an unyielding tone as he shot his brother a cold glare. Tyler wore a dejected look as he speechlessly went over to grab his textbooks.
The next day, Sonia had just arrived at the company when Daphne stepped forward with an envelope addressed to Sonia. âWho sent this?â Sonia took it over and checked it, but there was no senderâs information on it.
Daphne shook her head. âIâm not sure. The front desk said that a teenage boy had sent it over and stated that it was for you.â
âA teenage boy?â Sonia pressed her lips together as Tylerâs face popped up in her mind; he was the only young man she knew. It canât possibly be him, right? âGot it. You can send me the documents that I need to review today.
Iâll be in my office.â Sonia placed the envelope under her arm.
âNoted,â Daphne replied. Once Sonia was back in her office, she lowered her bag and pulled her chair back to sit in it. Then, she opened the envelope to find a ticket and a tiny memo. There was an orange ball printed on the ticket, with âU17 Youth Expedition Competitionâ written on it. Soniaâs suspicions were confirmed immediately, she was right that Tyler was the one who had sent the letter over.
After placing the ticket aside, Sonia picked the memo up to see a series of crooked and unruly handwriting. She could feel her eyes burning at the unpleasantness of his writing. A disdainful look flashed across her face before she began to read the content of the memo with curiosity. âTomorrow will mark my first competition since joined the national team. You need to come and watch me! Itâll happen at 4.00 p.m, in the stadium downtown.
Sincerely yours, Tyler:
Sonia stuck her bottom lip out. âWhy would I want to watch you play basketball?â Iâve already been nice enough to help him enter the national team. Heâs dreaming if he thinks Iâll watch him play! I donât understand what is up with the sons of the Fuller Family.
They were all so uninterested in me when I was still in the family, yet theyâre starting to act all nice to me now that Iâve left. Theyâre crazy!
With a smirk on her thin lips, Sonia tore the memo apart and threw it into the trash can. âPresident Reed.â Someone then knocked on the door.
âCome in Sonia replied as she lifted her head.
âThese are the documents that have just been sent over.â Daphne lowered a stack of files onto Soniaâs table.
In response, Sonia nodded. âAlright. Iâll take a look at them later. Also, Iâd like you to inform Mr. Lane that there will be a meeting at 10.00 a.m.â
âOkay.â Something flashed across Daphneâs eyes when she heard Charlesâs name, but she only nodded before leaving the room. Sonia took her fountain pen up and began to go through the pile of documents. When it was nearly time for the meeting, she stood up and walked over to the meeting room with the help of her walking stick.
It was noontime when their meeting ended. Daphne had ordered lunch for Sonia and sent it over to her office. However, Sonia had only taken a few bites of it when Rebecca knocked on the door and entered with a dejected look on her face. âIâm back, President Reed.â
âWelcome backâ Sonia replied with a smile, but Rebecca continued to sigh. âWhat is it?â Sonia was confused.
Rebecca shrugged. âI just went on another wasted trip. I still canât find the person that Iâm looking for.â
âDonât worry. You just need to take your time.â Sonia tried to comfort her. âHave a seatâ she said as she pointed toward the empty seat opposite her.
Thus, Rebecca pulled the chair back to sit down before she continued to speak. âThe loans from the few banks have been transferred over, President Reed. Thereâs a total of six billion, and Iâve already distributed it to the various segments of the business that need it. Take a look.â .
âSure.â Sonia said as she took the file into her hands. After finishing the document, she nodded, âYour distribution is pretty good. Many sections of Paradigm Co. can gradually open up now that weâre working on them one at a time. Iâll talk to Charles and the rest about it, and weâll proceed with your plan if we donât find any issues with it.â

ï¤Chapter 1211 Ending âAlright. I wonât bother your mealtime any longer. Iâll head out now.â Rebecca got up to leave, and Sonia picked her chopsticks up to continue her meal.
After the meal, she had a discussion with Charles and a few of the other senior members of the company. They came to a consensus-the funds would be distributed according to Rebeccaâs plan, and they would reopen the various projects that they used to have in the past.
Once things were put into action, Sonia found herself overwhelmed with work. She rushed up and down the building to deal with different departments, and it was 2.00 p.m. the next day by the time she got to take a break.
She let out a long sigh as she sat by her desk. With her opposite arm, she massaged one of her sore shoulders before switching to the other. Her shoulders felt a little less tense after some massaging, and she looked into her drawer to get herself a teabag. She was about to make herself some tea that would energize her a little when she saw the basketball competitionâs ticket lying in the drawer.
âWhat time is it?â Sonia glanced at the bottom right corner of her computer. 2.39 p.m! Itâs not 4.00 p.m yet.
Should I go? Sonia was rather hesitant. She was more inclined toward not going for the competition, yet she didnât want the ticket to go to waste.
In the end, Sonia decided to take a look. She was the reason Tyler had the tickets in the first place, so Tyler was probably showing his gratitude by getting her to enjoy one of his competitions. With that thought, Sonia picked up her landline and got Daphne to arrange for a driver.
