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.

walking toward the bathroom.

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.

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. Til
