Chapter 996
Sonia had just taken the folder and was about to review it when someone knocked the door. "Come in," she replied while flicking through the schedule.
"President Reed." When the door was opened, an assistant stood at the door frame with one hand holding a blue file and the other hand rested on the doorknob as he announced, "President Lane has arrived to meet with you."
"Charles is here?" Sonia was taken aback.
