Chapter 76
Sonia smiled as she stood up. “Thank you, Rebecca. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t know what to do.”
Paradigm Co. needed at least a billion in order to operate at any given time. She wouldn’t know where to amass
the necessary funds if the banks insisted that she should repay the loans. Therefore, she was grateful that
Rebecca had settled the problem for her.
Upon hearing that, Rebecca waved her hand. “You don’t have to thank me, President Reed. I’m your employee, so
it’s only natural that I should help relieve you of your burdens.”
Sonia let out a chuckle as warmth coursed through her heart. Then, Rebecca’s lips moved, for she was about to
say something, but her phone rang right at that moment. She picked up the call with a serious expression after
checking her phone. “Hello?”
“Miss Harper, we found another place that the young master might have spent time at. Would you like to visit the
place?”
“Sure. I’ll buy an air ticket right away.” After hanging up, Rebecca glanced at Sonia. “President Reed, I have to
apply for a leave again. I have an important errand…”
“Go on” Sonia chuckled before speaking. “I’ll be waiting to buy you a meal after you come back.”
“Thank you, President Reed. I will be taking my leave after arranging for a driver to pick you up.” With that,
Rebecca tucked her phone away and left the room.
Meanwhile, Sonia took her cutlery and continued with her meal. When she figured that the driver that Rebecca
had arranged for her should have arrived, she paid for the bill to get ready to return to her company.
Right when she stepped out of the room, the door across from her room opened to reveal Toby and Tom walking out from within. Both of them were startled when they saw Sonia, and the same could be said of her, for she
