Chapter 1153

Sonia naturally felt the animosity coming from Asher.

After all, the feeling wasn't inchoate but a long-existing one.

Thus, she made no reaction toward his hatred-filled stare but only looked straight ahead as though she hadn't noticed it and walked right past Asher, going out of the building.

Asher, on the other hand, was so livid that his clenched fists trembled when Sonia disregarded him entirely.

Standing behind him, his crony even more so stirred his anger by huffmg, "Look at how arrogant that woman is, President. Even if she's the chairman, she's still your junior. How can she be so rude as to not even say hi to you?!"

"Ain't that the truth, President." The crony very much agreed with him and was confident Asher would succeed.

"Alright, enough flattery. Let's go." After taking a gander in the direction Sonia left, he withdrew his gaze and barely calmed down as he made his way to the elevator.

Of course, Sonia had no clue what Asher and his cronies talked about behind her back, but she didn't want to know, nor was she interested in knowing. Right after seeing Toby' car, she waved and jogged over to it with a smile.
