This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 297

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.
