Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 153

“Thank you, Mr. Dafoe. But that’s to be expected from us, isn’t it? If we aren’t decisive, it’d be hard to manage the team, don’t you think?” Sonia smiled politely.

Asher wanted to shout, but he couldn’t, so he swallowed his pride. “That’s right, Sonia.”

“I’m glad we’re on the same page. Seems like I made a great decision. After all, if they can betray their boss, they might even sell their company out someday. Best we cut them off sooner rather than later, am I right?” Sonia continued.

Asher forced a smile. He was so mad that he could kill, but he had to play along for the moment. “Yes. That is a great decision, Sonia.” My foot. I spent a lot of money to turn them to my side, but they got fired right after that. I lost

my supporters and my money Dammit.

“Thanks for the praise. I’ll be going in now.” Sonia ignored his forced smile and nodded before going into the conference room.

But Asher suddenly stopped her. “Hold on a second, Sonia.”

Sonia stopped and looked at him. “Anything else you need, Mr. Dafoe?”

Asher straightened his necktie out. “My sources told me you’re handing the proposal about alternative energy technology in today, aren’t your

Sonia looked at him for a moment. She wondered why he was asking that, but still she answered with a smile, “Yes, we are.”

“Good luck, then. Let’s see if you can take this deal.” Asher smiled fakely. He wasn’t looking down on her, but he just thought Sonia and Paradigm weren’t up to par. It’d be a miracle if she manages to take this deal. Even if she’s hooking up with President Fuller, the Grays wouldn’t let her succeed. Either way, Asher didn’t think she could win, so he was just wishing her well out of spite.

Sonia knew that, of course, so anger flared up within her, but her smile didn’t falter. “I hope so too, but nothing’s sure until the dust settles, am I right?”

“True. I’ll be waiting for the good news, then. I just hope it’ll turn out for the best, or it’ll be awkward for at least one of us.” Asher chuckled and patted her shoulder before going into the conference room.

After he left, Sonia stopped smiling and brushed her shoulder off, as if she got something dirty stuck on it. But she had to admit she felt a lot of pressure after what Asher told her. She was confident in her proposal, and the professors praised it, but there was no guarantee if there were any better proposals. It might be possible that she would fail.

She massaged her forehead and sighed. Don’t think too much about it. All that matters is I tried my best. It’d be great if I can get the deal, but if I can’t, I’ll just come up with another way to wrest control from Asher. She patted her cheeks, composed herself, and went into the conference room.

It was already noon after the meeting ended. Sonia quickly stuffed a few mouthfuls of the lunch Daphne bought for her before she took the proposal and headed to Fuller Group.

After the receptionist found out what she was here for, she brought Sonia to the elevator.

“Please head to the waiting room on the thirtyeighth floor, Miss Reed. Mr. Brown is taking the proposals there.”

“Sure. Thank you.” Sonia nodded and thanked the receptionist before she went into the elevator. A short while later, she came to the waiting room.

Tom stopped sorting the files out when he heard someone knocking. When he looked up and saw it was Sonia, he quickly stood up. “Come in please, Miss Reed.”

“Sorry for intruding.” Sonia smiled at him and walked in with her proposal. “Here’s my proposal.”

“Alright, got it.” Tom took it with both hands and placed it on the stack of documents.

Sonia arched her eyebrow. “Are these the proposals from all the other companies?” “Yes. Everyone’s present and accounted for, aside from President Gray.” Tom nodded.

Sonia nodded in understanding.
