Tina skimmed through Sonia’s proposal, but the more she read, the worse she looked. She might be inept in business, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t appraise a proposal. After she took a look, she knew Sonia’s proposal was a top-tier one. In fact, it was loads better than the one she handed in. She couldn’t believe Sonia could come up with such a great proposal after taking over Paradigm Co. for a mere two months.

No. She couldn’t have come up with this. She must have hired someone to do this. I bet she did. Tina brushed her jealousy aside and insisted that Sonia couldn’t have come up with that brilliant proposal on her own. But either way, she couldn’t deny the fact that Toby could very possibly go with Sonia’s proposal. The fact that Sonia might get a spot while her family didn’t was unacceptable for Tina.

 

“I can’t let this happen.” Tina bit her lip. And all of a sudden, a plan struck her. She put both Sonia’s and her proposal on the table, then she unclipped them and swapped the proposals. Since the name tag was only there on the file, Sonia’s and Titus’ proposals were successfully swapped. After she did all that, Tina smiled smugly.

Suddenly, she heard sounds of footsteps coming closer. Tina knew it must be Tom, so she panicked. She quickly closed the files and put them back in their original positions. After that, she went back to the sofa and pretended to scroll through her phone.

As expected, Tom came in a moment later. “Sorry for the wait, Miss Gray.”
