“Thank you, Mr. Dafoe. But that’s to be expected from us, isn’t it? If we aren’t decisive, it’d be hard to manage the team, don’t you think?” Sonia smiled politely.

Asher wanted to shout, but he couldn’t, so he swallowed his pride. “That’s right, Sonia.”

“I’m glad we’re on the same page. Seems like I made a great decision. After all, if they can betray their boss, they might even sell their company out someday. Best we cut them off sooner rather than later, am I right?” Sonia continued.

Asher forced a smile. He was so mad that he could kill, but he had to play along for the moment. “Yes. That is a great decision, Sonia.” My foot. I spent a lot of money to turn them to my side, but they got fired right after that. I lost my supporters and my money. Dammit.

“Thanks for the praise. I’ll be going in now.” Sonia ignored his forced smile and nodded before going into the conference room.

But Asher suddenly stopped her. “Hold on a second, Sonia.”

Sonia stopped and looked at him. “Anything else you need, Mr. Dafoe?”

Asher straightened his necktie out. “My sources told me you’re handing the proposal about alternative energy technology in today, aren’t you?”

Sonia looked at him for a moment. She wondered why he was asking that, but still she answered with a smile, “Yes, we are.”

“Good luck, then. Let’s see if you can take this deal.” Asher smiled fakely. He wasn’t looking down on her, but he just thought Sonia and Paradigm weren’t up to par. It’d be a miracle if she manages to take this deal. Even if she’s hooking up with President Fuller, the Grays wouldn’t let her succeed. Either way, Asher didn’t think she could win, so he was just wishing her well out of spite.

Sonia knew that, of course, so anger flared up within her, but her smile didn’t falter. “I hope so too, but nothing’s sure until the dust settles, am I right?”

“True. I’ll be waiting for the good news, then. I just hope it’ll turn out for the best, or it’ll be awkward for at least one of us.” Asher chuckled and patted her shoulder before going into the conference room.
