This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

When Tom heard Toby’s command, he did not dawdle and immediately started the car.

The moment the car pulled away from the curb, his gaze flickered over to where Sonia and Charles were standing at the entrance of the building, and he sighed quietly.

I wonder what compelled President Fuller to divorce Miss Reed in order to be with Miss Gray. Now he’s paying more attention to Miss Reed than ever, despite having separated. If he had known how unhappy he would be to see her getting close with another man, surely he would not have gotten a divorce in the first place.

Presently, Sonia and Charles did not notice the black sedan that drove away from the scene. She glanced down at his hand and asked, “You said there was something on my head. What was it?”

“It was a piece of lint, but I’ve thrown it away. It must have come off your shirt or something,” he answered dismissively, waving his hand.

She did not doubt this and nodded. “Okay, then. I’m going in now. Be safe on the way home.”

“I will,” he said.

She turned to leave while he stood in the same spot, watching her retreating figure until it disappeared into the elevator. Still, he remained where he was and looked up at the window on one of the floors of the building. He smiled when it lit up, then lifted his foot to walk away, bracing through the pins and needles in his legs.

The next day, Sonia showed up for work at Paradigm Co., and she was about to settle down in her office when Daphne brisk-walked into the office. The latter was a bundle of nerves as she said, “Something bad has happened, President Reed.”

“What is it?” Sonia asked as she slipped the strap of her handbag off her shoulder.

Daphne had no idea how to start her explanation and passed the tablet to Sonia instead. “See for yourself.”

Sonia raised a brow as she took the tablet, then lowered her head to scan through the contents.
