Chapter 1056

Charles' gaze was drawn to Daphne throughout the conversation despite her figure having vanished outside the door for a long time as she never returned it.

Sonia finally patted him on the shoulder, prompting him to retract his gaze and turn his head.

"What's wrong?" Charles inquired, his hand touching his shoulder.

"I should be the one asking. Why are you staring at the direction Daphne left? I've called you twice, but you didn't respond," Sonia said, crossing her arms and looking at the door behind him.

"You're mistaken. I wasn't staring at her. I was just thinking about something." Charles was agitated and retorted quickly.

His reaction made Sonia roll her eyes. "Alright! Whatever you say. Let me tell you, Charles. You can't treat Dapline this way when you come to look for me next time. She's my secretary and no longer yours, so it is inappropriate for you to act like this."

As the president, Sonia had to protect her own secretary. She must ensure that Daphne was not bullied by Charles while under her care.

"Okay, okay. I will ignore her in the future, okay? Anyway, I don't think I bore any strange behavior toward her. Didn't you see her expressionless face when she greeted me? I haven't even had the time to complain about her rude attitude. Why are you blaming me instead?" he explained as he curled his lips and waved his hand.

Sonia's lips twitched upon hearing this. "Charles, your statement is a little unreasonable. Isn't Daphne's attitude toward you the same as it has been in the past? There is no change, so why are you complaining that you cannot accept her attitude ever since she moved to my company?"

Charles was stunned and speechless.

Yes, Daphne did greet me in the same way she has before.

I never thought that there's anything wrong with her.

Why did I dislike her attitude now?

Charles lowered his gaze as he felt an indescribable irritability in his heart.

He drew out a chair and sat down after a while before waving his hand again, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. It makes me upset."

Sonia could not help but roll her eyes at him.
