This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 1057

Chapter 1057 Why Haven’t You Clarified the Rumors?

Daphne, who had been said to be busy with work, was actually not as she remained standing outside the office, listening to every move in the room.

As she listened to what Charles had just said, her heart felt as if it was slashed by a knife. Uncontrollably, her eyes turned bright red and she could feel her anger surging from within.

It turns out that President Lane is overjoyed when he doesn’t see me. Ha. It appears that I’m a person who greatly irritates him. Lifting her head, she took a deep breath and covered half of her face before leaving Sonia’s office to return to the main secretary assistants’ office.

Daphne trotted in with her head bowed and her eyes red when Lexi, who had just delivered the coffee, noticed her agitation. “Miss Daphne, what’s the matter with you?” she asked concernedly.

“I’m alright.” Daphne sat back down and shook her head at Lexi before wiping her eyes to force out a smile.

“You’ve already cried. How is this all right?” Lexi frowned.

Removing her glasses, Daphne explained as she rubbed her eyes. “Thank you for your concern, Lexi. Don’t worry. I’m fine! I just had some sad thoughts and I couldn’t hold back all of a sudden.”

After she said that, she put on her glasses again and smiled at Lexi.

When Lexi noticed that Daphne was not as depressed as she had been when she first arrived, she nodded and said, “That’s good, then. I’ll head back to work first. If there’s anything you need help with, you must let us know and we’ll definitely help.”

Daphne nodded, her heart feeling warm. “Sure. I will!”

Next door in the president’s office…

Sonia and Charles were unaware that Daphne had just overheard their conversation, which had caused her to leave in distress.

At that moment, Sonia cast a silent glance at Charles.

Having delivered his words, he continued to drink coffee with his head down. Despite the coffee being so hot and bitter, it seemed that he was gulping it down.

“Alright, alright,” Sonia said as she noticed Charles’ coffee was about to run out. She quickly stopped him from drinking it all at once, “Stop drinking, Charles. It’s bad for your throat to dunk it down like this.”

As such, Charles took a breather. He had no choice because Sonia had grabbed his wrist and it would be weird for him to resist.

After seeing that Charles had given up on his act and placed down his cup of coffee, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Your entire personality has changed ever since you came here and saw Daphne.”

“Did I?” He frowned, refusing to acknowledge it.

“Alright, alright; you didn’t, how ’bout that? Let’s not discuss this and move on to the real deal. You just said you’re here to inquire about the rumors on the Internet?” Sonia shifted the topic after helplessly shaking her head.

In contrast, Charles became solemn when it came to serious matters. It was as if his previous attitude was just an illusion.

“Yes, I am. But damn, I didn’t expect you to be photographed by paparazzis when I went out to meet with you. Now, there are so many unfounded rumors on the Internet. Ugh, I’m so done with them,” Charles complained with a darkened expression.

“Yeah, it’s quite annoying.” Sonia casually nodded in agreement.

“What are the Squirrel Media thinking? Are they not afraid of Toby’s retaliation?” Charles smacked his fist against the table.

Charles had no idea that someone had been planning this for a long time. He simply believed that the Squirrel Media was just one of the mindless outlets that would do anything for popularity.

“They’re completely fearless. They wouldn’t risk it if they were afraid,” Sonia spoke with a sarcastic smile plastered on her cheeks.
