This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 733 Clingy

“No.” He put his forehead against hers and gave her a serious look. “You have to trust me, and you

have to say it, so let me hear it. I can’t rest easy if I don’t hear it, so you have to say it.”

Sonia resigned, so she said, “Fine, fine. I’ll say it, alright? I trust you. There, happy?”

Toby smiled happily.

Amused, Sonia pinched his face. “Why are you acting like a child?”

“Only to you.” He puffed his chest out.

Sonia was amused. “And you seem proud about it.”

“Why not?” He looked up with pride. “That’s a compliment to me.”

She shook her head. “I’m not complimenting you, though I won’t say anything if you want to take it that

way.”

“Then I will take it that way.” He sipped some coffee, then he recalled something. “Oh, right. About the

machines from Kosovo. You told the factory workers to assemble the first batch already, right?”

“Yes. They’re done, and it’s great.”

“Did you find a seller?” he asked again.

Sonia nodded. “Of course. I called them before the machines came. I’m not the newbie president

anymore, you know. I arrange stuff beforehand so I won’t fumble at the last moment.”

“Not bad,” he praised.

Sonia smiled as well.

“So, which company did you partner with?” Toby put his coffee down and looked at her.

“Excellence Co.,” she answered.

Toby nodded. “Not bad. A century of good reputation. You have a great eye for this.”

Sonia smiled. “Not me, but my dad. He worked with Excellence Co. a lot when he was still alive. The

company’s leader is my father’s friend, so we’re working well together.”

Toby grunted. “Excellence Co. just opened a new mall, and they’re going to start business at the end of

this month. Did they give you an invitation?” He would bring her there if she had no invitation. I heard

Excellence Co. just hired some experts in heavy industry. I can introduce them to her as it’s her

company’s main business. Once it gets listed again, some changes must be made, and expert opinions

are needed for that.

Sonia didn’t know Toby was planning for her. She went to her desk and took out a purple invitation from

her drawer. “Guess what this is?”

Toby arched his eyebrow. “So you got it already. Not bad.”

She put the invitation back. “I just got it yesterday. I was about to tell you, but I forgot. If you hadn’t

mentioned it, I wouldn’t have thought about it.”

“Come with me then.” He looked at her invitation. “As my lover.”

Sonia went over to him. “Sure.” Since they were dating again, she wouldn’t say no to attending events

together.

“That’s settled, then. I’ll pick you up on the day of the event.”

“Sure.” She nodded.

Toby left after lunch. He was about to stay with her until her work was over and go back to Bayside

Residence, but Tom called halfway through lunch and said the company needed him to handle some

work, so he had to leave. But before he left, he clung to her and seemed reluctant to go to work. If it

weren’t for her telling him to go back to his company, he might have actually stayed.

He did leave in the end, but before he did, he had asked her to kiss him multiple times, or he wouldn’t

have left. She looked in the mirror and noticed that her lips were swollen again from the kissing, then

she sighed. He’s getting clingier. I can’t keep up with him at this rate. She put her compact powder

down and shook her head in amusement.

“Chairman Reed.” Daphne knocked on the door at this moment.

Sonia collected herself and sat up. “Come in,” she said.

Daphne came in. “Chairman Reed, the renovators from the factory called. They want to know when

you’re going to check on the items and see if any changes need to be made. If it’s fine with you, they

can tell their company and go ahead to finish the job.”

Sonia looked at the date on her PC. “They finished the job in less than two months? That’s fast.”

“Well, we’re all waiting to move into our own factory, so we nudged them a little so they would work

faster. That’s why they finished it so soon.” Daphne adjusted her glasses and smiled.

Sonia smiled as well. “I like efficient companies like this. And what about the museum next door?”

“That’s going to take longer. They’re aiming for that vibe, so it’s going slow. Besides, Titus’ men trashed

the place, so that set us back. They haven’t even finished building the structure yet, let alone renovate

it.” Daphne shrugged.

Sonia sighed. “We dragged them into this.” If she didn’t rent half of the land to the government so they

could build the museum up, she couldn’t have built her factory. Titus kept coming over to sabotage her,

and the museum actually shielded her once. Titus’ goons wanted to trash her factory, but in the end,

they destroyed the museum instead thanks to her. Because of her, the museum suffered a setback,

and as compensation, her company covered all the food expenses for the museum’s builders.

Sonia massaged her temples. “Since the museum needs time to be finished, then we’ll keep the

cafeteria there. Once our factory is done with the renovation, close down the factory’s cafeteria.” She

had promised that she would cover all food expenses for the museum builders until the museum was

finished.

“Yes, Chairman.” Daphne nodded.

Sonia looked at her schedule. “Tell the renovators I’m going to check on their progress this weekend. If

they’re not working on weekends, then just send a representative to wait for me.”

“Yes,” Daphne said.

Sonia looked at her. “Anything else?”

“No.” She shook her head.

Sonia smiled. “You may leave now.”

“Yes.” Daphne nodded and left the office.

After she left, Sonia took her pen and was about to work, but then her phone rang, so she picked it up.

Tim? She tilted her head to the side in surprise. Why did he call me? She took the call without

hesitation. “Anything you need, Dr. Lancaster?”

“She’s getting jailed, isn’t she?” Tim cut to the chase.

Sonia wondered what he was talking about, but when he mentioned prison, she knew he was talking

about Jessica.

“Yes. She slandered the nation. It’s a crime, and she has to serve time.” Sonia nodded. Jessica’s

slanders against her was a crime as well, but the consequences weren’t severe. She would be

detained for some time at most, but since she had insulted the nation, she had taken it to a whole other

level. At the very least, she would be locked up for months.
