This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Sonia froze when she first heard what he said. It took her a while to process it, then felt the urge to laugh right after that. He didn’t do it willingly, huh? Was someone controlling his actions? She didn’t take his words seriously, and she simply assumed that he was trying to claim innocence. She pointed at her watch as she changed the topic. “It’s about time to start the meeting, President Fuller.”

Once Toby heard what she said, he knew that she didn’t believe him. “Let’s go,” he uttered with a sigh. Both of them walked toward the meeting room without speaking to each other anymore. Tom tagged along behind them and shook his head as he glanced at their backs. Tina’s the real reason the two of them are in this state right now!

The meeting officially began as Toby took the floor and explained the use and abuse of the alternative energy technology. He fully captured everyone’s attention. All along, Sonia had been proactive in learning about energy technology—she even sneaked into university classes every now and then. Because of her efforts, she no longer found herself lost and confused as she had been during the first meeting.

Two hours later, the meeting came to an end. Toby got to his feet. “I need Sonia to stay for a while. The rest of you can leave.” Sonia had been packing her stuff when she heard his words, and her actions came to a halt as she looked up at Toby. She didn’t understand why he wanted her to stay back. Everyone was just as curious, but no one had the guts to question him. They merely gazed at the duo thoughtfully before they walked out of the meeting room.

Sonia could hear some of the people mumbling to each other as they walked out of the room. “Why do you think President Fuller got President Reed to stay back? They’re not committing adultery, are they?”

The corner of Sonia’s lips twitched a little. Adultery? These guys must have holes in their brains. I can’t believe they can come up with such ideas! She massaged her temples as she watched Toby walking toward her. “Why did you get me to stay back, President Fuller?”

Furthermore, anyone who was taller than her would be able to see the view under her shirt if they lowered their heads.
