Chapter 604 Used Goods
Seeing Sonia so sure that nothing would happen to her, Daphne could only nod and murmur, “Alright, then. I’ll take my leave. Please call me if anything happens, President Reed. I will get help.”
“I will.” Sonia responded with a hum.
Holding the documents, Daphne then left hurriedly.
And so, only Sonia and Jessica were left in the office.
Peering at the latter, Sonia asked, “Why are you here? You can leave now if there’s nothing more. Also, it’s forbidden for outsiders to intrude upon the premises without permission, so don’t blame me if I call the security on you in the future when you come again uninvited.”
Jessica sneered upon hearing her words. “Call the security on me? You jest, dear sister. Don’t forget that I’m the vice president of Paradigm Co. now, which means that the vice president’s office rightfully belongs to me. Is it wrong of me to come to my own office?”
Upon hearing that, Sonia laughed out loud in anger. “Now I see what you’re planning!”
It turned out that Jesicca could not wait to chase Sonia out the moment she got promoted to the position of vice president.
“Is there anything wrong with my plan? Either way, I don’t see any fault in it. On the contrary, you’ve been forcefully occupying my office. So, have some tact and quickly move out of my space, Sonia.” Jessica mocked as she looked at Sonia slyly.
Pursing her lips, the latter surveyed the office’s surroundings then bluntly stated, “Alright, I’ll move out. I’ve had enough of this office anyway as it’s a bit too small for me. I should get back to the top floor, to the chairman’s office, where the lavishness and symbol of the highest power it offers in Paradigm Co. is where I truly belong. As for this small and dingy office, I’ll let you have it.”
At that, Sonia went up to Jessica and sneered in her ear, her tone mocking, “You only deserve my hand-me-downs anyway, so there you go—here’s my old office. I don’t even feel anything from losing this!”
“How dare you?” Trembling from head to toe with anger, Jessica widened her eyes, her expression contorting as she stared at Sonia.
In truth, her aim by coming here was to fight over this office with Sonia.
Originally, Jessica thought that if she could chase Sonia out of the office, she could then enjoy seeing the pathetic side of Sonia as she left.
Yet, Jessica had completely forgotten that Sonia was the chairman now, and that the chairman had their own personal office which was much grander than the vice president’s office.
So, not only did Jessica fail to see Sonia leaving pathetically, the former even chased the other woman out to an even better office.
This frustrated Jessica to no end.
Looking at Jessica’s sour expression, Sonia instantly knew what she was thinking.
This was all on Jessica, though, as she thought that she had obtained a rare object.
However, in the end, not only was this not a rare object, it was something that people had grown tired of. How could a person who was as prideful as Jessica accept this outcome?
And yet, she couldn’t just abandon it because if she did, she would be left with nothing.
This meant that the office was no longer of any value toward Jessica. That being said, as she could not just simply give it up, it meant that she would have to tamper down her frustration and make it her workspace for the time being.
At that thought, Sonia took a final look at Jessica mockingly, then turned around to pack her stuff.
As there was not much to pack, just a few documents and personal effects to be exact, Sonia was soon done.
After she finished packing, she brushed by Jessica and headed toward the door. Suddenly, Jessica called out, “Wait a minute!”
“What now?” Halting in her step, Sonia commented without even turning to face her, “Have I not handed over this office to you?”
Clenching her fists, Jessica replied, “That you did, but what about my car? The way you just dumped my car on the roadside warrants some kind of settlement, no?”
