Chapter 611 Returned to Usual

“Knowing her, this is something that she would do.” Sonia scoffed.

Charles gave her a word of advice out of concern. “Sonny, the main reason Jessica returned is for Paradigm Co.. Since she failed to get her hands on the firm, she won’t give up. You have to be careful so that you don’t fall for her schemes.”

“Don’t worry, Charles. I know what to do.” Sonia accepted his heartfelt concern with a smile.

He nodded. “That’s great. Give me a call if you need any help.”

“Will do.” The smile on her face widened.

 

“I’m hanging up, then,” he said.

“Hold on!” Sonia interrupted.

 

Upon hearing that, Charles brought the phone back to his ear. “Anything else?”

She bit her lip as she mumbled, “Charles, do you still hold a grudge against me?”

“Hold a grudge against you?” he asked in puzzlement. “About what?”

“Because I rejected your feelings previously.” Sonia lowered her eyes, a guilty look on her face.

Although rejecting someone’s feelings was something normal, she still felt guilty for doing so since they were friends. She felt that she had somehow wronged or hurt him, especially when they hadn’t met nor contacted each other for a while. This had caused the feeling of guilt to fester as the days passed.

After all, before that incident, Charles would seek her out almost every day. Even if they hadn’t met, they would still chat via Messenger.

However, after that incident, he had never once sought her out, so she was worried that he might ignore her from then on and they would gradually drift apart.

Fortunately, after worrying about it for so long, Charles actually made the first move by giving her a call.
