Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76

Sonia smiled as she stood up. “Thank you, Rebecca. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

Paradigm Co. needed at least a billion in order to operate at any given time. She wouldn’t know where to amass

the necessary funds if the banks insisted that she should repay the loans. Therefore, she was grateful that

Rebecca had settled the problem for her.

Upon hearing that, Rebecca waved her hand. “You don’t have to thank me, President Reed. I’m your employee, so

 

it’s only natural that I should help relieve you of your burdens.”

Sonia let out a chuckle as warmth coursed through her heart. Then, Rebecca’s lips moved, for she was about to

 

say something, but her phone rang right at that moment. She picked up the call with a serious expression after

checking her phone. “Hello?”

“Miss Harper, we found another place that the young master might have spent time at. Would you like to visit the

place?”

“Sure. I’ll buy an air ticket right away.” After hanging up, Rebecca glanced at Sonia. “President Reed, I have to

apply for a leave again. I have an important errand…”

“Go on” Sonia chuckled before speaking. “I’ll be waiting to buy you a meal after you come back.”

“Thank you, President Reed. I will be taking my leave after arranging for a driver to pick you up.” With that,

Rebecca tucked her phone away and left the room.

Meanwhile, Sonia took her cutlery and continued with her meal. When she figured that the driver that Rebecca

had arranged for her should have arrived, she paid for the bill to get ready to return to her company.

Right when she stepped out of the room, the door across from her room opened to reveal Toby and Tom walking out from within. Both of them were startled when they saw Sonia, and the same could be said of her, for she

wasn’t expecting to see them there.

“President Fuller” Sonia was the first to break the silence by greeting Toby a little apathetically, while Toby nodded in response to that.

Tom pushed his glasses up before smiling at Sonia. “Miss Reed.”

“Hello, Tom.” Sonia returned the gesture.

All the while, Toby furrowed his brows, uncomfortable with their exchange. She would smile at Tom, but she always greetme with a poker face. He emitted a chilly aura that caused Tom to shiver before subconsciously putting distance between them.

Since Sonia had no intentions to speak to either of them, she left for the elevator after greeting them. Toby also

marched forward. Then, they waited for the elevator in silence. None of them spoke, so the atmosphere between

them was depressing.

Tom felt pressured when he glanced at Toby, who was on his left, and then at Sonia, who was on his right. Why must they bump into each other? Tom rubbed his temple to soothe his headache.

A chime indicated that the elevator had arrived. Sonia entered first, with Toby and Tom following behind. Upon

entering the elevator, Tom made a conscious choice to stand in a corner and diminish his presence.

After the elevator doors were closed, they started to descend through the floors. Suddenly, the lights on the

ceiling flickered a few times, and noises of electricity zapping could be heard.

Tom raised his head while he gulped. “Will the elevator be alright?” He sounded uncertain.

As soon as he said that, the elevator shook violently. Sonia let out a shriek as her face paled due to fright.

Because she was wearing heels, she couldn’t keep her balance when the elevator rocked. Not only did her body sway around, but she even sprained her ankle. She could even hear the sounds of her bone dislocating.

Sonia was getting cold sweat, while her face contorted with pain. Right when she was about to topple over, an arm looped itself around her waist from behind her, and that made her freeze in place. “What are you doing?” Her

voice was hoarse from the ordeal.

Immediately, Toby pulled her into his arms so that her back was against his chest. “Don’t move. Lean against me

and stand still,” he ordered in all seriousness. Seeing that Sonia tried to pry his arm away from her waist out of

That made Sonia pause her movements. He knows thaI sprained my ankle! She wasn’t sure how she felt about

 

that, but she stopped trying to wrench herself free from his protective embrace. Instead, she leaned against him

“Sorry.” Toby removed his hand.

travelled downward to her swollen ankle. His heart tightened at the sight of it. “Your ankle…”

You call that alright? Toby’s lips were pulled into a thin line when he noted the beads of sweat on her forehead.
