Chapter 168,Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again!
“I’m coming with you,” Charles said, springing up from his seat and looking very worried about her. Feeling touched and amused at the same time, Sonia turned him down. “It’s fine. I’m just pregnant, not injured. I don’t need you to come with me. That’s it. I’m going now.” With that said, she grabbed her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and left the office. Then, she drove to the hotel. Coincidentally, when she reached the doors of the hotel, she ran into Toby and Tom, who had also just arrived and looked a little surprised because they weren’t expecting to run into her at the entrance as well.
“Hello, Miss Reed,” Tom greeted. In reply, she nodded slightly and turned to Toby to greet him. “Greetings, President Fuller.” He simply grunted a reply and stopped in his tracks, thinking to let her through the door first. However, Sonia was having the same intention to let him in first. After all, Toby was the partnership initiator as well as the owner of this hotel. No matter what, he had to be the one to walk ahead. As a result, all three of them stood at the hotel entrance awkwardly with none of them taking the lead to go in. In the end, it was Tom who snapped back and figured out Sonia’s intentions.

Clearing his throat, he then whispered to Toby, “President Fuller, Miss Reed is letting you in first. I know you want to let her go first, but as you’re the initiator of the collaboration, she wouldn’t go in unless you do.” Frowning slightly, Toby wasn’t expecting that she would care about the rules in the business world so much. Well, if she didn’t care about it so much, she wouldn’t have been annoyed at Tina the last time at the resort area when Tina didn’t understand this rule, he thought, and stepped into the hotel with Tom following closely behind.

Staring at their backs, Sonia heaved a sigh of relief. It’s great that they’re going. Otherwise, I would have broken the rules in the business world, she thought, knowing that people who broke the rules of the business world would be ostracized and despised by other businessmen. Fortunately, they were the ones who went in first in the end. After readjusting the handbag strap on her shoulder, she took in a deep breath and went in as well. At the elevators, she pressed the button for the first elevator, but surprisingly, the light went out by itself after lighting for a second. What’s happening?

she asked herself. Are there any open elevator doors? Her brows furrowed, and she was about to check which of the elevator doors were opened when she heard a voice in the front saying, “Over here, Miss Reed.” Twirling her head to the source of the voice, she saw Tom poking his head out of the third elevator, smiling at her. At that moment, she understood the situation. No wonder the light on the button went out so quickly after I pressed it.

Toby and Tom have been waiting for me at the third elevator. “Quick, Miss Reed. We’re waiting for you,” Tom urged again when he saw that she was hesitating and rooted to the spot in front of the first elevator. Her lips moved, and she said, “No thanks, you guys go on ahead first. I—” “We’re going to be late!” Tom broke her off hastily after Toby cast him a glance. Hearing that, Sonia lifted her hand and glanced at the time. Sure enough, they were about to be late as there were only a few minutes left. It seemed like she had to join them and go upstairs together.

Sighing, she then stepped into the elevator. Staring at the man standing in the middle of the elevator who was exuding a strong aura, she then lowered her gaze and uttered, “Thanks.” “You’re welcome,” Toby replied, looking at her from the corners of his eyes. After finding a spot in the corner of the elevator, Sonia stood straight and stopped speaking, and neither did Toby. As the subordinate, Tom naturally couldn’t say a thing when he was caught in a situation where his boss was quiet. Because of that, it was so silent in the small elevator that all he could hear were the soft sounds of their breathing.

The professional smile on Tom’s face gradually became stiff from its initial natural look. Goodness, please say or do something, guys, he begged silently. Isn’t it a little depressing when nobody says anything? Finally, the elevator reached with a ding, and the doors slid open. Tom was the first to get out, and he held the door open, feeling relieved. This is great! he thought. At long last, I don’t have to spend more time in this suffocating atmosphere with these two! Not knowing what was going on in Tom’s mind, Sonia was the last to get out of the elevator.
