This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 23

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 felt 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. “I’ll 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 this morning, 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 I 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.
