Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 1139

When Sonia saw her receptionist walking away, she looked back and turned her attention to Grayson, who was

sitting on the couch like a boss. "Mr. Lore, it appears that my employee needs my help. I'm going to have to excuse

myself now while you sit here until I return. I won't take long." Sonia maintained the smile on her face but did so

rather indifferently. After all, there was no way she could make herself treat the man with some enthusiasm

because she never had any good impressions toward the Lore Family. I haven't seen a guest who acts so arrogantly

on someone else's turf.

"Go ahead then, but you'd better hurry up; I don't have all day." Grayson raised his wrist and looked at his watch,

behaving insolently while talking to Sonia. Apparently, he didn't treat Sonia with respect but instead with contempt

and disdain like she was his maid whom he could boss around.

After that, Sonia squinted and kept her head down, hiding the nonchalance in her eyes. At the same time, she

reacted with a faint smile before exiting the office. When she was gone, Grayson's assistant, who had his eyes on

the door, spoke to his boss in a concerned manner. "Mr. Lore, was it really necessary to be so mean to Miss Reed?"

With his legs crossed, Grayson stopped shaking them and looked up, glaring at his assistant unhappily. "What are

you talking about? Are you on her side?"

"No, of course not." The assistant shook his head and explained, "I'm not on Miss Reed's side, Mr. Lore. I'm

concerned about us. After all, the reason we're here is to apologize and ask for Miss Reed's forgiveness, but your

attitude makes us seem like we're… Here for trouble." Grayson's assistant lowered his voice toward the end of his

sentence, eventually even losing the courage to look his boss in the eye.

"Are you saying that I'm here to seek trouble?" Grayson's face darkened even more.

"No, of course not." The assistant shook his head. "That's not what I meant. Instead, I'm just saying that the attitude

you just showed might not have been appropriate, considering our circumstances. Thus, I think we should be a little

more polite. Who knows we may be able to achieve our goal in the end?" The assistant advised Grayson to adopt a

more diplomatic approach.

Grayson grunted coldly in response. "What are you talking about? Why should I be polite to her? Who does she

think she is?"

The man pointed in the direction in which Sonia just left and raised his voice. "She and I are on an equal footing in

terms of status. In fact, I'm older than she is, which means she should accept it with grace even though I'm here to

offer my apology. If she is smart enough, she'd suggest that we leave the past behind us before I even start talking.

So, are you out of your mind telling me to be nice to her? She doesn't deserve that!"

As soon as Grayson's assistant heard his words, he instantly felt helpless and puzzled. No wonder people are leaving

this company, especially from the secretary and public relations department. When I first heard from them that this

company had no future, I didn't believe them, but now, I guess I was wrong back then. With a dumb boss like this

fella, it'd be a miracle if the company survives for long. This guy came all the way here to apologize, but instead,

he's acting arrogantly and belligerently. Does he want his company to go bankrupt sooner?

Grayson's assistant rolled his eyes upward as he decided to give up changing his boss' mind. Deep down, he

reckoned he should just stand on the sidelines and watch since Grayson was the one who owned and ran his

company. Because of that, Grayson's assistant kept his head down in silence and said nothing more.

On the other hand, Sonia arrived in the pantry and closed the door behind her. At that moment, the receptionist,

who was filling the empty teapot with water, turned off the tap when she heard a sound. She then put down the

teapot and wiped her hands on her skirt, acting in a reserved manner. "Here you are, Chairman Reed."

Sensing the nervousness on the receptionist's face, Sonia smiled gently and said, "Didn't you tell me to come here?

Anyway, just relax and organize your thoughts. I'm here and ready to listen, okay? I won't bite, so take it easy."

Upon hearing Sonia's comforting words, the receptionist was seen with a pair of blushed cheeks as she began to

feel more and more relaxed. "Here was what happened just now, Chairman Reed…" She then went on to tell Sonia

everything that happened from the moment Grayson and his assistant came until they arrived in her office.

After learning the story, Sonia laughed in an amused manner. "Oh, come on! He is on my turf, yet he won't keep his

temper in check! Is he taking my kindness as ignorance?!"

"Exactly! He must not be forgiven, Chairman Reed. You must do something about it." The receptionist clenched her

fists and expressed her annoyance.

Seeing how angry the receptionist was, Sonia lightened up and replied with a smile, "Don't worry about that. I know

what to do, but I'm grateful for your loyalty toward the company."

The receptionist scratched her head bashfully and said, "Well, I'm also a part of Paradigm Co., so of course I can't

just keep quiet and do nothing when someone degrades my company."

"Your bonus is going to double this month." Sonia smiled at her.

The receptionist was stunned for a second before she looked Sonia in the eye and asked, "Really, Chairman Reed?'

"Of course, I just told you that myself. Why would I lie to you?" Sonia smiled even brighter. "Just talk to the people

from the finance department later and tell them it's my idea. They will check with me later on."

"Thank you so much, Chairman Reed! Thank you so much!" The receptionist bowed to Sonia thankfully.

Sonia smiled and shook her head, seizing the receptionist's hand. "Alright, now please get the tea ready."

"Alright, I'll get it ready right now." The receptionist grabbed the teapot and began to fill the teacup with some tea.

After that, she covered each of the teacups with a lid and placed them on a tray, which she was about to lift up.

However, Sonia quickly took the tray and said, "I'll take it from here and serve them the tea. When you go

downstairs, please tell those security guards to wait outside my office. As soon as they hear me chasing Mr. Lore

and his assistant away, they will come in and take the two of them out of this building."

The receptionist nodded, her eyes brightening up after she heard Sonia's words. "Alright, Chairman Reed. I'm going

to do as you say."

Sonia responded with an affirmative hum and carried the tray in her hands, making her way back to the office.

Since her office was just beside the pantry, she could hear murmurs of conversation between Grayson and his

assistant inside her office. When she heard her name being mentioned, she believed Grayson was talking behind

her back to his assistant. Thus, she pursed her lips and kicked the door to create some noise, intentionally alerting

the two men in her office.

When the two men heard the knock on the door, they knew Sonia was back and quickly stopped talking. At the

same time, Grayson was left tongue-tied despite his arrogant attitude and all the mean things he was saying about

Sonia. Look at yourself, Mr. Lore! Where is all your confidence?! Meanwhile, his assistant's face was filled with

contempt. Is that all you got? Come on, you're going to have to do better! I guess that's not surprising for a b*stard

like you!

"I'm sorry for making you wait, Mr. Lore." Sonia pretended as if she didn't hear what they were talking about while

approaching them with the teacups, which she placed right in front of Grayson and his assistant.

While Grayson only glimpsed the teacup without saying a word, his assistant standing right behind him politely

thanked Sonia for the tea. For that, Sonia raised her eyebrows in surprise and gazed at Grayson's assistant, seeing

the sincerity in his eyes as she was surprised to find that.

After all, she thought Grayson's subordinate was just as unreasonable as he was, thinking everyone around him was

nothing much different from himself. Mr. Lore's assistant is quite a decent man, but it's too bad that he works for

someone who doesn't deserve him.

Sonia thought about that regrettably but quickly put that behind her. She then sat down opposite Grayson and

smiled at him indifferently. "Try the tea, Mr. Lore. I hope you'll like it."
