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

Chapter 1139

When Sonia saw her receptionist walking away, she looked back and turned her attention to Grayson, who was sitting on the couch like a boss. "Mr. Lore, it appears that my employee needs my help. I'm going to have to excuse myself now while you sit here until I return. I won't take long." Sonia maintained the smile on her face but did so rather indifferently. After all, there was no way she could make herself treat the man with some enthusiasm because she never had any good impressions toward the Lore Family. I haven't seen a guest who acts so arrogantly on someone else's turf.

"Go ahead then, but you'd better hurry up; I don't have all day." Grayson raised his wrist and looked at his watch, behaving insolently while talking to Sonia. Apparently, he didn't treat Sonia with respect but instead with contempt and disdain like she was his maid whom he could boss around.

After that, Sonia squinted and kept her head down, hiding the nonchalance in her eyes. At the same time, she reacted with a faint smile before exiting the office. When she was gone, Grayson's assistant, who had his eyes on the door, spoke to his boss in a concerned manner. "Mr. Lore, was it really necessary to be so mean to Miss Reed?"

With his legs crossed, Grayson stopped shaking them and looked up, glaring at his assistant unhappily. "What are you talking about? Are you on her side?"

"No, of course not." The assistant shook his head and explained, "I'm not on Miss Reed's side, Mr. Lore. I'm concerned about us. After all, the reason we're here is to apologize and ask for Miss Reed's forgiveness, but your attitude makes us seem like we're… Here for trouble." Grayson's assistant lowered his voice toward the end of his sentence, eventually even losing the courage to look his boss in the eye.

"Are you saying that I'm here to seek trouble?" Grayson's face darkened even more.

"No, of course not." The assistant shook his head. "That's not what I meant. Instead, I'm just saying that the attitude you just showed might not have been appropriate, considering our circumstances. Thus, I think we should be a little more polite. Who knows we may be able to achieve our goal in the end?" The assistant advised Grayson to adopt a more diplomatic approach.

Grayson grunted coldly in response. "What are you talking about? Why should I be polite to her? Who does she think she is?"

The man pointed in the direction in which Sonia just left and raised his voice. "She and I are on an equal footing in terms of status. In fact, I'm older than she is, which means she should accept it with grace even though I'm here to offer my apology. If she is smart enough, she'd suggest that we leave the past behind us before I even start talking. So, are you out of your mind telling me to be nice to her? She doesn't deserve that!"

As soon as Grayson's assistant heard his words, he instantly felt helpless and puzzled. No wonder people are leaving this company, especially from the secretary and public relations department. When I first heard from them that this company had no future, I didn't believe them, but now, I guess I was wrong back then. With a dumb boss like this fella, it'd be a miracle if the company survives for long. This guy came all the way here to apologize, but instead, he's acting arrogantly and belligerently. Does he want his company to go bankrupt sooner?

Grayson's assistant rolled his eyes upward as he decided to give up changing his boss' mind. Deep down, he reckoned he should just stand on the sidelines and watch since Grayson was the one who owned and ran his company. Because of that, Grayson's assistant kept his head down in silence and said nothing more.

On the other hand, Sonia arrived in the pantry and closed the door behind her. At that moment, the receptionist, who was filling the empty teapot with water, turned off the tap when she heard a sound. She then put down the teapot and wiped her hands on her skirt, acting in a reserved manner. "Here you are, Chairman Reed."

Sensing the nervousness on the receptionist's face, Sonia smiled gently and said, "Didn't you tell me to come here? Anyway, just relax and organize your thoughts. I'm here and ready to listen, okay? I won't bite, so take it easy."

Upon hearing Sonia's comforting words, the receptionist was seen with a pair of blushed cheeks as she began to feel more and more relaxed. "Here was what happened just now, Chairman Reed…" She then went on to tell Sonia everything that happened from the moment Grayson and his assistant came until they arrived in her office.

After learning the story, Sonia laughed in an amused manner. "Oh, come on! He is on my turf, yet he won't keep his temper in check! Is he taking my kindness as ignorance?!"

"Exactly! He must not be forgiven, Chairman Reed. You must do something about it." The receptionist clenched her fists and expressed her annoyance.

Seeing how angry the receptionist was, Sonia lightened up and replied with a smile, "Don't worry about that. I know what to do, but I'm grateful for your loyalty toward the company."

The receptionist scratched her head bashfully and said, "Well, I'm also a part of Paradigm Co., so of course I can't just keep quiet and do nothing when someone degrades my company."

"Your bonus is going to double this month." Sonia smiled at her.

The receptionist was stunned for a second before she looked Sonia in the eye and asked, "Really, Chairman Reed?'

"Of course, I just told you that myself. Why would I lie to you?" Sonia smiled even brighter. "Just talk to the people from the finance department later and tell them it's my idea. They will check with me later on."
