This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

“Very smart to think in the long run, baby. Not bad. I support you.” He patted her shoulder.

“Thank you,” she answered with a smile, permitting him the rare opportunity to keep his hand on her

shoulder.

…

The next day, they returned to Seafield.

The moment Sonia got off the plane, she hurried to Paradigm Co. to meet with Ryan.

As he sat down in front of her desk in her office, he gave the bandage on her head a surprised look,

saying, “What happened, President Reed?”

As she felt the wound on her head, her eyes flashed coldly. However, a moment later, she placed a cup

of coffee in front of him and answered with a smile, “A rat attacked me.”

“I see.” Ryan dropped the topic with a faint smile.

After receiving the document that Daphne handed her, Sonia began, “Here is Continental Co.’s

acquisition contract, President Drew. Please go over it and let me know if any revisions are needed.”

She placed the contract on the table, thereafter turning it around and pushing it toward him.

Ryan then flipped through it. Only when he reached the end and saw the part stating that Paradigm Co.

would neither interfere with Continental Co.’s internal affairs nor change the company name did he nod

with satisfaction. “It looks fine to me.”

Reassured, she smiled before uncapping a fountain pen and handing it to him. “If that’s the case, please

sign here, President Drew. The finance department will have the funds put into your account within half

an hour.”

Humming his agreement, Ryan took the pen and signed his name on the appropriate line.

From then on, Continental Co. would be a subsidiary of Paradigm Co.

Flipping the contract shut, Sonia handed it back to Daphne and said, “Keep it safe.”

“Yes, President Reed.” With the contract in hand, Daphne left the office.

Finally, Sonia stood. “It’s getting late, President Drew. How about I treat you to lunch?”

Waving his hand, Ryan rejected her offer and said, “I’ll take a rain check. I have an appointment

elsewhere.”

Of course, Sonia didn’t push him and only saw him off at the elevator before returning to her office.

Right then, her internal telephone line rang.

Letting go of her computer mouse, she picked up her landline receiver. “Hello?”

At the other end of the line, Daphne spoke up. “Someone from the Fuller Group is here, President Reed.

He says he’s here to deliver a land deed. Do you want to see him?”

Slowly, Sonia smiled. “Of course. Why wouldn’t I? Whom did they send?”

She never thought Toby would be so proactive as to send someone over with the deed the moment she

returned.

“President Fuller’s assistant, Tom Brown.”

“Send him in.”

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the door.

Very quickly, the door opened and Daphne led Tom in.

“Miss Reed,” he greeted politely as he stood in front of her desk.

With a smile, she pointed at a chair. “Please sit, Mr. Brown. Daphne, please fetch a cup of coffee for Mr.

Brown.”

“Of course,” Daphne answered, very quickly going to pour a cup of coffee and returning.

After thanking her, Tom pulled out a chair and sat down before handing two documents to Sonia. “One of

these is a document transferring a trade port to your name, Miss Reed. The other is a title deed for a plot

of land in the city center. Please have a look.”

“Of course. Please wait for a moment. I’ll be done soon.”

With that, she opened one of the documents and began reading in earnest.

Sitting opposite her, Tom surreptitiously took measure of her and was surprised by what he saw.

Who could have expected that she would change so drastically in such a short amount of time? It was as

if she was a brand new person and was much more dazzling than before while Miss Gray, whom he

previously thought to be good and kind, was becoming more and more sinister and diabolical.

How astonishing!

Meanwhile, Sonia could feel Ryan’s stare but she paid it no mind and only quietly finished reading the

two documents.

When she was done, she flipped the documents shut. “Mr. Brown.”

“Hmm?” Caught off-guard, Tom was pulled back to the present and pushed his glasses up his nose.

“Sorry, Miss Reed, but did you say something?”

With a nod and a smile, Sonia told him, “I’ve finished reading the two documents. Thank you for bringing

them here and please pass on my thanks to President Fuller as well.”

“I will. I’ll take my leave now.” With that, he stood and bid goodbye.

Looking toward her own assistant, Sonia said, “Daphne, see Mr. Brown out.”

“Right this way, Mr. Brown.” With a gesture, Daphne led Mr. Brown out.

When she returned, she was surrounded by her coworkers.

“Was that President Fuller’s assistant, Daphne? Why did he come here? Was he looking for President

Reed?”

“Surely President Fuller can’t be sending President Reed something. It was mangoes previously; what

could it be now?”

“You know, they’re divorced but they’re still in contact with each other so frequently. You don’t think they

could be thinking of remarrying, could they?”

At their gossip, Daphne spread her arms and answered helplessly, “How would I know? Alright, that’s

enough. You should gossip less about your superiors. Go hack to work, or you’ll be screwed when

President Reed comes out to do her rounds.”

The moment they heard that, they quickly dispersed and fled the scene.

As for Daphne, she returned to Sonia’s office. “I’ve seen Mr. Brown off, President Reed.”
