Asher was caught between a rock and a hard place; if he were to walk out on Paradigm Co., he would immediately be replaced and with Toby blacklisting him in the industry, he wouldn’t be able to join any other enterprise. He would have nowhere to turn to and his whole career would be done for.
More to the point, he never intended to leave in the first place.
At this moment, Toby kept his eyes on Sonia as he asked, “So, what do you think?”
As much as she disliked the idea of keeping Asher around, she was more apprehensive toward the idea of having Toby’s people working in the company. With that in mind, she nodded and answered flippantly, “Well, President Dafoe did say that he was only joking, so I’ll take his word for it and brush this incident off.”
“Alright, then.” Toby was slightly dejected by this and pressed his lips into a grim line.
He had hoped that she would agree to his suggestion and allow Asher as well as his subordinates to leave Paradigm Co. That way, he could send his team over as promised and use that as an excuse to see her as often as he would like.
Meanwhile, Asher let out a huge sigh of relief after hearing what she had said. Thank heavens she has the good sense to say all the right things; otherwise, I’d be doomed!
Sonia eyed him impassively. “Are you still planning to oppose my decision to delist, President Dafoe?”
He snapped out of his thoughts. He didn’t want to concede, but when his gaze flickered over to Toby, he swallowed his retort and was immediately agreeable. “Of course not, Sonia. You can do whatever you want.”
“In that case, I’m going to put the word out. Now, is there anything else you’d like to discuss, President Dafoe?” She had as good as told him to get out of her office.
The corners of Asher’s lips twitched slightly. “Not at all. Carry on with your work, Sonia. I shan’t bother you anymore and take my leave now.”
The moment he spun around, the smile on his face was replaced by a menacing grimace.
He had walked into her office with the thought that he could wheedle Sonia into giving up her share of authority by threatening to leave the company if she didn’t.
What he hadn’t expected was for Toby to put his foot in and ruin his plans. As things were, Toby would rise to Sonia’s defense for as long as their collaboration was an ongoing concern. It will only make it harder for me to deal with that wench, Asher thought, gritting his teeth. I have to find a way to ruin their collaboration!
After Asher left in defeat, peace and serenity returned to the office once more. Sonia tucked her hair behind her ear as she thanked Toby for speaking up for her.
Toby gave her a bemused look. “You’ve already thanked me half a dozen times today.”
