Ever since Sonia returned home last night, she was in a bad mood, so she drank until midnight. In a daze, she didn’t sleep long before she was awakened by a phone ringing.
Slowly coming to her senses, she reached for her phone that was on the
bedside table and answered, “Hello?”
“President Reed, it’s me-Daphne.”
Upon hearing the other party’s
spontaneous introduction, Sonia
sobered up a bit and quickly
remembered who she was.
The person on the other end was
Charles’ secretary. Charles was afraid
that after she entered Paradigm Co.,
she would have none of her own
people around her, so he gave his secretary to her
“What’s the matter?” Sonia asked while
walking toward the bathroom.
Daphne informed, “There are a few
urgent documents that you need to
settle at the company. When will you
be coming to the office?”
Sonia figured the matter was very
urgent, so she glanced at the time on
her phone. “Around 8.30AM.”
“All right.”
After hanging up the phone, Sonia washed her face with cold water and lelt much better. But, she drank a lot of wine last night, so her head still hurt. She looked in the mirror, and her
expression was a little unpleasant.
After washing up, Sonia tightly pursed her lips when she left the bedroom and
saw the state of the living room.
I must‘ve been out of my mind last night
to have drunk so much.
When Sonia arrived at the office, it was
8.30AM sharp. She had just set one
foot down in the office when Daphne
appeared behind her.
“President Reed, this is the urgent document that needs to be signed.”
“Okay.” While opening the file, she asked the secretary, “Has the contract with Dwells been signed?”
“Originally, it was supposed to be signed at 9.00AM today, but Dwells
regretted it,” Daphne reported helplessly.
“They’re not signing it anymore?” Sonia
frowned and took out her phone. Til
call Charles and ask him to talk to
them.”
Daphne hurriedly said, “President Reed, don’t call him. He was going to go to
Dwells to talk business with them thi
moming, but after answering a call, he
told me that there’s something at his
company that he needs to deal with, so he’ll deal with Dwells’ contract when he
comes back.”
Upon hearing this, Sonia stopped calling him.
She was so focused on getting Charles
to help that she almost forgot he had
his own company to run and that he
had a lot to deal with too.
Seeing that Sonia was silent, Daphne
asked, “Then, President Reed, may
leave?”
“Help me check Dwells” boss” Itinerary for today.” After taking a deep breath, Sonia ordered her secretary. “Report to me as soon as you find out. I’ll settle
these few documents first.”
Daphne was taken aback. “Didn’t
Charles say to wait for him to come
back to deal with it?”
“He’s very busy as well, so I can’t wait
for him to handle everything.” Sonia
pursed her lips. “Besides, now that I’m
in this position, I have to learn
whatever it is I don’t know yet.
Otherwise, I’ll be criticized before I
secure my position.”
“Okay. You do your work, President Reed. I’ll go find out.” Daphne quickly
left the office, leaving Sonia alone to busy herself with work.
Because Sonia had only recently come
into contact with these matters, added
with the fact that there were many
jargons in the documents, the speed at
which she read the documents was
extremely slow, so by noon, only one third of them had been processed.
After hastily eating the lunch sent by
her secretary, she continued to look
through the rest.
It was only at 2.30PM that she finished
processing all the documents.
Sonia rubbed her sore neck and when
she saw the phone on the table light up
to indicate that there was a new
message, she opened it to check.
Carl: ‘Sonia, the company has arranged
a job for me. I need to go to Palmont for a business trip for two months. Because of the time difference, I can’t
reply to your messages in time. If you
encounter an emergency, you can call the number I left for you.”
Sonia: ‘All right. Take care of yourself
there.”
As soon as Sonia replied to his
