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

Chapter 492 Lily

Sonia curled her lips into a bitter smile when she thought about how Charles had invited her to the same party. What’s going on? I’m glad that I rejected him. Otherwise, Toby might think that I went to the party with the intention of appearing in front of him. Hmph! I’m not going to give him the opportunity to look down on me!

Yet, for some reason, Sonia felt her chest tightening whenever she thought about Lily, the girl whom Toby had asked to be his partner. Sonia pulled her chair back and sat down before she moved her mouse to search for Lily’s social media profile.

When Sonia saw Lily’s posts of luxury bags, cars, shoes, and makeup products, she couldn’t help but squeeze her delicate brows together. Lily’s personal profile literally screams, ‘I’m proud of being rich’. This is so typical of a nouveau riche. Well, I don’t think she’s a good fit for Toby. Her looks, her family background, and her personal values don’t seem to match Toby’s at all. They don’t suit each other! If Toby actually gets married to Lily someday, I’m definitely going to question his taste in women.

“President Reed!” Someone knocked on the door, disrupting Sonia’s train of thought. She was shocked by the sound, and she hastily shut the window of Lily’s profile before she looked at Daphne, who was standing by the door of Sonia’s office.

There was a panicked smile on Sonia’s face. “W-What is it?” Sonia stuttered. Sh*t. Why am I acting like a guilty person? I was just scrolling through someone’s profile—what’s wrong with that?

Daphne had no idea why Sonia was so flustered, but she didn’t think too much about it.

“President Dafoe’s assistant got me to tell you that you need to go to his office for a meeting.”

“I got it. I’ll go immediately,” Sonia answered with a nod. Daphne turned to leave, and Sonia tidied up her desk before she hugged her laptop in her arms and walked out of the office.

It took nearly two hours for Sonia to be done with the meeting. When she returned to her office, she received a call from Charles.
