Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 154

Tina skimmed through Sonia’s proposal, but the more she read, the worse she looked. She might be inept in business, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t appraise a proposal. After she took a look, she knew Sonia’s proposal was a top-tier one. In fact, it was loads better than the one she handed in. She couldn’t believe Sonia could come up with such a great proposal after taking over Paradigm Co. for a mere two months.

 

No. She couldn’t have come up with this. She must have hired someone to do this. I bet she did. Tina brushed her jealousy aside and insisted that Sonia couldn’t have come up with that brilliant proposal on her own. But either way, she couldn’t deny the fact that Toby could very possibly go with Sonia’s proposal. The fact that Sonia might get a spot while her family didn’t was unacceptable for Tina. “I can’t let this happen.”

Tina bit her lip. And all of a sudden, a plan struck her. She put both Sonia’s and her proposal on the table, then she unclipped them and swapped the proposals. Since the name tag was only there on the file, Sonia’s and Titus’ proposals were successfully swapped. After she did all that, Tina smiled smugly. Suddenly, she heard sounds of footsteps coming closer. Tina knew it must be Tom, so she panicked. She quickly closed the files and put them back in their original positions.

After that, she went back to the sofa and pretended to scroll through her phone. As expected, Tom came in a moment later. “Sorry for the wait, Miss Gray.” “Not at all,” Tina answered politely. Tom didn’t notice anything wrong with the room, and he put the cup of coffee in front of Tina. She was just about to take a sip, but then her phone rang. “Sorry. I’ll need to take this.” She smiled apologetically while taking her phone out.

“Hello? Cynthia? You’re out?” Surprise colored Tina’s face. Tom arched his eyebrow at her. Cynthia’s out? “Okay, I’ll be right there.” After she put her phone down, Tina looked at Tom. “Please tell Toby I won’t be seeing him, Mr. Brown.” She wanted to see Cynthia. Even though she only thought of Cynthia as a disposable lackey instead of her friend, she had to keep Cynthia by her side, since Cynthia had been loyal to her.

And I can use her to defend me if something were to happen. Can’t cut our “friendship” off just yet. “I’ll pass the message to him, Miss Gray. You go ahead and do your thing.” Tom nodded, smiling. After Tina was gone, Tom went to the top floor with the stack of documents in hand. He then knocked on Toby’s office’s door. “Enter.” Toby’s cool, magnetic voice sounded from within. Tom went into the office. “President Fuller, these are the proposals everyone handed in.”

Toby stopped writing and looked at the stack of documents. “Everyone?” “Yes.” Tom nodded. Toby’s eyes glinted. “Where’s Sonia’s?” He regretted it the moment he asked Tom, since Tom might think he was caring about Sonia too much. After all, he only asked for her proposal. He didn’t know why he cared about her proposal so much though. But when he noticed that Tom wasn’t surprised about his question, he calmed down.

Maybe Tom doesn’t think I’m caring about Sonia. However, unbeknownst to Toby, Tom wasn’t surprised because he knew Toby still liked Sonia. In that case, he wasn’t surprised when Toby asked for Sonia’s proposal. “Here.” He handed Toby Sonia’s proposal. Toby opened the proposal, curious and excited. However, he frowned the moment he saw the proposal, and his excitement was gone with the wind. Bad. This is just bad.
