Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 23

Ever since Sonia returned home last night, she was in a bad mood, so she drank until midnight. In a daze, she didn’t 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, “Hello?”

“President Reed, it’s me-Daphne.”

Upon hearing the other party’s

spontaneous introduction, Sonia

sobered up a bit and quickly

remembered who she was.

The person on the other end was

Charles’ 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

“What’s the matter?” Sonia asked while

walking toward the bathroom.

Daphne informed, “There are a few

urgent documents that you need to

settle at the company. When will you

be coming to the office?”

Sonia figured the matter was very

urgent, so she glanced at the time on

her phone. “Around 8.30AM.”

“All right.”

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 must‘ve 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.

“President Reed, this is the urgent document that needs to be signed.”

“Okay.” While opening the file, she asked the secretary, “Has the contract with Dwells been signed?”

“Originally, it was supposed to be signed at 9.00AM today, but Dwells

regretted it,” Daphne reported helplessly.

“They’re not signing it anymore?” Sonia

frowned and took out her phone. Til

call Charles and ask him to talk to

them.”

Daphne hurriedly said, “President Reed, don’t 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 there’s something at his

company that he needs to deal with, so he’ll deal with Dwells’ contract when he

comes back.”

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, “Then, President Reed, may

leave?”

“Help me check Dwells” boss” Itinerary for today.” After taking a deep breath, Sonia ordered her secretary. “Report to me as soon as you find out. I’ll settle

these few documents first.”

Daphne was taken aback. “Didn’t

Charles say to wait for him to come

back to deal with it?”

“He’s very busy as well, so I can’t wait

for him to handle everything.” Sonia

pursed her lips. “Besides, now that I’m

in this position, I have to learn

whatever it is I don’t know yet.

Otherwise, I’ll be criticized before I

secure my position.”

“Okay. You do your work, President Reed. I’ll go find out.” 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: ‘Sonia, 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 can’t

reply to your messages in time. If you

encounter an emergency, you can call the number I left for you.”

Sonia: ‘All right. Take care of yourself

there.”

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 Ocean‘s Heart?

At this moment, Carl sent another

message: ‘l know Paradigm Co.’s

situation isn’t good now, and you need some liquid funds. You can use this

money first. Tell me if it isn’t enough.”

Sonia: ‘I still have money in my

account. If I’m really in trouble, I’ll ask

Charles for help. I can’t take your

money.’

Carl’s reply came in an instant. ‘Six

years ago, if it weren’t for your help. I

belongs to you, Sonia.”

Sonia’s heart felt warm when she saw

his message, and she stopped

refusing

Sonia: ‘Okay. I’ll treat it as you lending

money to Paradigm Co. When we rise,

the money will be given back to you,

plus interest.” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

At this moment, there was a knock on

the office door.

“Come in.”

Daphne pushed open the door and

walked in with a box of fruits in her

arms. “President Reed, the delivery

man from Four Seasons Orchard sent

this.”

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, “Did you find out where the boss of Dwells is?”

“I did.” Daphne hurriedly replied. “Today happens to be Friday, and Dwells’ boss

usually goes to Sakura Heights with his

friends at 2.00PM to play cards. I’ve

sent you the address on Messenger.”

“Okay.” Sonia got up and put on her

coat. “When Paradigm Co.’s situation

improves, I’ll give you a raise.”

“Thank you, President Reed.” 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, “Did President Reed say

anything when she saw the box of

mangoes?”

“She just opened the box and took a

glance.” Daphne spread her hands

wide and was also quite puzzled. “Even

the company’s 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?”

“Could it be that President Fuller regrets the divorce?”

“How’s that possible! Everyone in the

industry knows that President Fuller

loves Miss Tina. He even proposed to

her with the Ocean’s Heart!”

“Maybe President Fuller feels that after

the divorce, the two parties can still

become business partners.”

“Our company is about to go bankrupt;

no one wants to acquire it, let alone

President Fuller!”

The gossip went on and on.

When Sonia was on the way to Sakura Heights, it suddenly rained, and it got considerably heavier.

When she arrived at Sakura Heights,

there was no more space in the underground parking, so she could only park in the open-air parking lot. Then,

as she got out of the car, she found

that there was no umbrella in the car, so she had to cover her head with her bag and rush in while gritting her teeth.

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.

When the waiter saw Sonia, he
