Currently, Sonia was standing in front of the printer and photocopying the deed as well as the transfer document. Since she had a moment, she answered Daphne, “Got it. Have the completed documents on the desk sent out and when Charles drops by in the afternoon, let me know.”
“Of course.” Daphne went over to the desk and took the stack of documents.
After Sonia finished her photocopying, she returned to her desk and sat down, thereafter arranging the photocopies properly so that she could staple them together. As for the originals, she was prepared to store them in the safe.
All of a sudden, she thought of something and something flashed across her eyes. Pulling out her cell phone, she took pictures of the original deed and posted them onto the internet with the caption, ‘Thank you to President Fuller for this excellent piece of land!’
Following that, she added the social media handles of both Toby and Triforce Enterprise. There was no doubt Titus would be apoplectic with rage when he saw it.
At the end of the day, Tina’s attitude was a reflection of his parenting and he ought to take a bit of responsibility for her actions as well.
At the thought, Sonia let out a small smile. It was time she gave credit where it was due.
Right then, her cell phone rang.
When she lowered her head to look at the caller ID, she discovered that it was a call from Carl.
Without hesitation, she put the phone to her ear, answering, “Carl.”
“Sonia.” From the other end of the line, Carl’s low, magnetic voice passed through her eardrums. It was extremely pleasant to listen to.
The sound made her ear itch slightly and she couldn’t help shrinking her neck as she said, “Are you finished with work? How is it that you have time to call me?”
“Not yet. I just finished posing for a set of magazines and I’m on break right now. Since I had nothing better to do, I went through my activity feed. I never thought I would come across what you just posted. What does your post mean, Sonia? Did Toby give you a plot of land?” Carl asked, to which Sonia answered in the affirmative as she leaned back in her chair.
However, he frowned slightly. “Why would he give you a plot of land? Are you thinking about
“Watch where you’re going with this.” The moment she heard his tone, she knew he had misunderstood. Feeling both amused and exasperated, she explained, “It’s actually recompense on Tina’s behalf.”
“Recompense?” At first, he was startled and his expression darkened quite a bit, “Did Tina hurt you, Sonia?”
Rubbing the bridge of her nose, she answered with a sigh, “She did. I never thought she could be so bold.”
With that, she gave a simple retelling of the events at the resort.
Upon hearing the whole story, Carl tightened his grip around his cell phone and his gaze was murderous. “How are you now?”
Though his expression was ice cold, his voice was filled with care and concern.
Therefore, she didn’t realize that anything was wrong and only answered with a warmed heart, “I’m fine. I have a slight concussion, but I’ll be fully healed within a few days.”
“Good.” The corners of his lips curved downward. “Alright, I have to get back to work. Talk to you later, Sonia.”
“Alright.” She nodded. “Work hard. Bye!”
“Bye!” After hanging up the phone, Carl sent out a text message expressionlessly. ‘There’s something I need you to do...’
Very quickly, the person on the other end replied, ‘Roger that!’
As Carl looked down at his wallpaper of Sonia’s smiling visage on his phone, he ran his thumb lightly across the image. However, his face was no longer as gentle as it previously was. Instead, it seemed slightly hostile.
He used to live in darkness. It took a lot for a ray of light to appear in his life, and whoever harmed that light would have to pay the price.
Meanwhile at Triforce Enterprise, Titus was in a meeting with a few shareholders and senior managers, discussing the development matters concerning the first villa district. Suddenly, his assistant pushed open the meeting room door and exclaimed, “Something bad has happened, President Gray!”
Seeing how grave the assistant looked, Titus could only pause the meeting and ask, “What happened?”
Of course, the assistant didn’t announce the news to everyone and instead sidled up to Titus’ side to whisper into his ear.
Instantly, Titus’ expression changed drastically. “Are you sure?”
“Positive.” The assistant nodded multiple times.
