Chapter 109

The attendees immediately straightened their postures and paid attention to Asher, who started to share stories from his business trips abroad

When he was done speaking, he instantly shifted the topic to Sonia. “I heard about the problems that surfaced during my absence in the company. Sonia has managed everything well on my behalf. Good job!”

On his behalf? She winced at his description but soon broke into a smile. “President Dafoe, please drop the formalities. After all, I am the largest shareholder in this company and as the vice president, I have the responsibility to manage the company. – All the blood, sweat and tears are part and parcel of the job.”

Upon hearing that, Asher’s lips twitched as he simmered in anger. This young lady is a tough nut to crack indeed.

He refused to believe that she was oblivious to the subtext of his words—that he was back to reclaim his power to manage the company.

 

“Oh, is that so? Sonia, you are quite the sensible and mature young lady! Anyway, now that I’m back, you can take a back seat and relax.” Asher stared at Sonia with a fake smile.

A smiling Sonia looked straight into his eyes. “That’s fine! I am still young and I have no problem taking on some challenges. President Dafoe, you have nothing to worry about.”

 

Asher’s expression immediately fell after he heard her courageous reply.

At the same time, members of the senior management and other shareholders lowered their heads and held their tongues, for they were surprised at Sonia’s guts to publicly wrestle with Asher Dafoe for power. Should we describe her as courageous or hopelessly naive?

Even Charles was stunned by her bold move.

Although he personally thought that she had recklessly started a power struggle at the wrong time, he chose to stand by her side regardless of whether she made the right decision out of his love for her.

“Baby, all the best!” He punched the air with his two fists to cheer her on. After being stupefied by his actions, Sonia fired back at him, “Oh, shut up.”

Charles giggled and promptly fell silent.

When Asher saw Sonia flirting in the middle of the tense situation, his eyes widened in anger at her insolence. “Young lady, are you being serious right now?”
