Chapter 35
Although Tina was speaking in a gentle tone, she was openly taunting Sonia
Sonia merely arched her eyebrows before she graciously smiled. “Since you said it first, it’s alright. You can go ahead to
purchase it.”
Tina never expected that Sonia would not even compete with her and gave her the watch instead. As a result, Tina did not
return to her senses in that instant.
*Tina, it seems like Sonia doesn’t dare to offend you.” Tina’s friend leaned toward
her and boasted, “She doesn’t have any
support after she divorced Toby. Her
company is on the brink of bankruptcy.
which is why she won’t dare to take anything from you.”
Indeed. Now: Sonna has nothing apart from
a broken company
After hearing her friend’s words, Tina felt
relieved. She took the watch and handed it
to the saleswoman with her credit card.
“Till pay by card. Please wrap it for me.”
However, the saleswoman did not accept C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Tina’s card and she instead asked
tentatively, “Miss, are you one of our VVIP
customers?”
“No.” Tina frowned while looking slightly
displeased at this moment. “You mean to
say that I can‘t even pay by card to buy this
lousy watch?”
“You can buy any other watches in our store using a card, but not for this series.” The saleswoman looked conflicted. “Only The VVIP customers, who have spent six
million in our store for the past two years,
can buy it.”
Tina was speechless upon hearing that.
“She‘s just a saleswoman who sells watches. I wonder where her arrogance
comes from.” Tina’s friend exclaimed in
annoyance. “I want to speak to your
manager! How ludicrous! We can’t even
buy a watch here?”
The saleswoman explained, “The watches
in this series have restrictions. It won’t
change anything even if our manager is
here.”
“Alright, I understand that we are not able to buy it, but what about this woman?
“Well, Miss Reed is able to buy it,” she replied. “She became our VIP customer three years ago as she has spent enough
money here.”
Once again, upon hearing those words,
Tina was at a loss of words again.
When she heard what the saleswoman said, she spent a lot of effort maintaining
the gentle and calm composure on her
face.
Sonia had enough of the drama and took
the watch from Tina’s hand before she
passed it to the saleswoman. “Since you
are not able to buy it, Miss Gray, I’ll take it
instead.”
In a short moment, she took the receipt and the wrapped watch back with her.
Sonia said her thanks, but she paused next to Tina just as she was about to leave and apologized, “Miss Gray, there are some things that you can’t buy even if I give the opportunity to you.”
When Tina heard Sonia’s words, it felt like a slap to her face and she even felt her
cheeks burning.
As she glanced at Sonia’s leaving figure,
Tina recalled what Tyler had said when he
accidentally called her during last night.
Her gaze then slowly darkened. Why is she
always after what I want?
Sonia was in a great mood aller witnessing the drama. When she took the elevator to the basement parking lot, she Si’w a familiar face.
“President Reed.”
She quickly recognized the tall and slender woman in front of her. “Rebecca Harper?”
Rebecca was Charles’ ex-classmate. She was initially about to work for his
company, but when he learned that Sonia
did not have any support in Paradigm Co. he asked Rebecca to help Sonia out.
Even though Sonia had been recently busy.
she knew that Rebecca worked at the
finance department as an accountant and
she was rather careful at the job.
*There are many employees in the company, so I’m quite surprised that you remember me.” Rebecca smiled as she held a cake in her hand. “There’s a dessert store here that serves tasty desserts. I’m
on my off day today, so I’m here to buy some desserts. What about you, President Reed? Are you here to buy some clothes?”
“It’s Charles’ birthday today, so I’m here to
buy some presents for him.” Sonia shook the bag in her hand. “Do you have any plans tonight?”
“No. I just plan to head home and watch a
few movies on the couch.”
“Why don’t you join our celebration? The
more the merrier. Since you are his ex classmate, we are all familiar with each
other,” Sonia responded.
“Since you have invited me, I’ll gladly join you, President Reed!” Rebecca did not
reject Sonia and pressed the button on the
elevator to head down. “Let’s go to the Second floor then. I’m going to buy a lighter for him. After all, I can’t attend his
birthday celebration empty handed.”
Rebecca had the looks of an innocent girl.
She was fair, slender and exceptionally
beautiful, but she was a chatterbox at the same time. Once she started speaking, it was difficult for her to stop, so she became loquacious.
This was the first time that Sonia had met
Someone even more talkative than
Charles, so she felt quite exasperated
about it.
Just as she was about to bring Rebecca to
Luna Club, Charles gave her a ring. “My grandmother has insisted on spending the night with me and wants me to return home to have dinner together. Argh!! guess I’ll only arrive at Luna Club by around 10:00PM.”
“Sure. We’ll have dinner first before we’ll wait for you in the private room there.” After she hung up the call, she brought
Rebecca for dinner.
Once they found a spot, Rebecca looked
around before asking Sonia, “President
Reed, I heard that you need to inform Luna
Club your salary range before you could
enter. Is that true?”
Yeah, so I booked the place under
Charles’ name.”
“Why didn’t you use President Fuller’s name? Aren’t you guys marrie? It is probably more convenient to just use his card,” Rebecca asked curiously
Sonia’s expression did not change much, but she asked indifferently, “How did you
know that we are married to each other?”
“Everyone knows that. It’s not a secret after all.” Rebecca shrugged. “However, I’m
curious-you are his wife and Paradigm
Co. has not been doing well lately. Why didn’t President Fuller help you out?”
After many years of marriage, he didn‘t even
look at me, let alone help me “He has way
too many things on his hands, so he’s
rather busy.” Sonia lowered her head to
look at the cup of tea in her hands. “Tve
already divorced him a few weeks ago, so
I’m no longer his wife.”
Upon hearing that a shocked Rebecca exclaimed, “Oh! I see.”
She quickly saw that talking about this topic had rendered Sonia in a terrible mood, so she lifted her cup of tea and
toasted Sonia. “Congratulations for becoming single again, President Reed! It’s
great to be single-we don’t have so much to worry about. It’s an amazing thing! If
you want to remarry, you can consider
Charles! Since you guys grew up together
and he takes good care of you, you guys
are beyond compatible!”
Sonia smiled after she heard Rebecca’s
jokes as it helped to lift her mood quite a
bit.
When dinner was over, she challed with Rebecca while they walked around the place. She planned to head to the private room to start the karaoke while waiting for Charles to arrive.
Just as Sonia and Rebecca walked out of
the restaurant, they met a few women.
Sonia was about to make way for those
women, but she did not expect that Tina and her friend, whom she saw at the watch
store in the afternoon, were among them.
Upon seeing this, she was stunned.
As Tina did not expect to see Sonia twice
in a day, she almost failed to maintain her
composure
“Miss Reed.” This time around, she
forcefully spoke through aritted teeth. “I
heard that Paradigm Co. isn’t doing quite well recently. You’d need to reveal your salary here.”
Sonia merely gave a slight smile. “Yeah, I know. I’m using my boyfriend’s card. Do you have anything else to say about that, Miss Gray?”
Tina’s pink lips were pressed together in a firm line, but she soon recalled something
and answered gently, “I’m about to play
some card games with my friends and we
are one person short. It’s good that we met
here. Since we are all acquainted with
each other, let’s play a few rounds
together.”
With that, she introduced Sonia to her
friends. “Meet Sonia Reed, the vice
president of Paradigm Co.”
As Tina spoke respectfully to the woman
next to her and even lowered her stance in
a slightly ingratiating way, it made Sonia
take a second look at the woman, who
wore a beautiful black dress. It made the
woman stand out and overpower her peers
with just her looks.
“Who is this Miss Gray? Why is she so defensive toward you?” Rebecca inched
closer to Sonia and asked quietly.
“My ex-husband’s lover.”
