"You don't need to go. Just have your assistant chase them away. You'll be going to the hotel I went to with Charles yesterday and get the whole surveillance footage when we were there." Sonia peered at her.
Hesitantly, Daphne replied, "President Reed, I doubt we can get the footage. The mastermind might have already destroyed the evidence to save you from using that."
"I thought of what you've said, but no matter what, we have to try." Sonia rubbed her temples.
Daphne, who agreed with her, nodded. "Okay. I'll go there very soon. Still, shouldn't we tell President Fuller about this?"
Smiling, Sonia stated, "Now that this has gotten so out of proportion, he will know it eventually through his men even without my notice. As for why he hasn't contacted me, it should be because he's still busy. So, the people by his side haven't had the chance to inform him yet. Don't worry, when he knows, he'll call me."
"That's a relief." Daphne puffed her chest. "It's only by President Fuller knowing about this that things can be dealt with much easier."
"You're right. After all, this incident concerns him as well. We still need him if we want to catch the culprit.” Sonia opened her arms up. "Go on, then. Remember to inform me ASAP about the situation even if you don't get the footage."
"Understood, President Reed." Daphne went down with the assistant.
With that, Sonia was the only one left in the office.
Looking at the monitor in front of her, she became angrier as she scrolled through the comments. She then closed the webpage, seeing how she did not have any solution to it.
Next, she picked up her phone and called Squirrel Media again.
Earlier when she dialed the number, it said that the line was busy.
She guessed that a lot of people must have called Squirrel Media to validate the truth of this story, causing the busy line.
So, she hoped that the call would go through this time.
Perhaps it was the heavens that heard her prayer, the call connected this time with a man's voice coming from the speaker. "Who's this?"
"Sonia Reed," she replied with a cold tone.
The person on the other side fell silent. After a while, she could hear heavy and rushed breathing coming from the other end.
Obviously, the person panicked upon hearing her name.
This made Sonia sneer.
They really are a bunch of guilty squirrels.Otherwise, why would this man be so afraid to hear that it's me?
Meanwhile, the person who answered the call was regretting and wanted to beat himself up.
Seriously, why did I have to enter the office at this time? If I didn't, I wouldn't have picked the call up. How unlucky!
After shouting out miserably inside, the man took a deep breath and pretended nothing happened while replying to Sonia, "I'm sorry, Miss. We don't know who you are. If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up now. I wish you a good day. Goodbye."
He was about to hang up after saying that.
Yet, Sonia suddenly sneered loudly. "Hang up the call and I'll tell Toby to shut your company down right now! Every single one of you can pack your bags home by the end of the day. Try me," she warned in a very dominating manner.
With the coldness and arrogance in her tone, nobody dared to doubt if she was joking. At the very least, the man on the phone knew that Sonia would do as she said.
Feeling like he would be better off dead, the man had a very somber expression as he begged, "I'm so sorry, Miss
Reed. I'm just some random secretary, so..."
"Enough." Sonia frowned and interrupted him. "Seeing how you called me 'Miss Reed', you obviously recognize who I am, so you should know why I'm calling, right?"
The silence of the man was taken as a 'yes'.
