This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 341

Chapter 341 

Upon hearing that Sonia was looking for Carl, Charles lowered his gaze in despair, but he kept up a jaunty tone as he said, “I thought you were going to ask about something important when you called me, baby. I didn’t think you’d be asking after Carl. I’m hurt.”

“Stop it.” Sonia pinched the space between her brows. “Do you think you could get ahold of Carl’s agent, Charles? Maybe he’ll know where Carl is and if he is at work or someplace else.”

“Fine, I’ll call them up and ask.” Charles raked his fingers through his slightly-mussed hair.

Sonia hummed briefly in response. “Thanks for doing this, Charles.”

“It’s no problem at all.” He shook his head, then asked, “By the way, are you going back to Paradigm Co. or will you be recuperating at home today?”

“Probably the former. I’m not doing too poorly anyway, so there’s no point staying home when I can go back to the office.” As she said this, she tried to soothe the dull ache that seemed to thrum beneath the skin of her lower abdomen.

Charles was hoping to persuade her to stay home, but knowing how stubborn she was, he decided against it and sighed as he said, “Fine. I’ll go over and help out with some paperwork. I can only imagine the mountain of documents you’d have to go through after you skipped out on work yesterday.”

Sonia knew that he was only trying to lighten her burden, and her heart warmed at his kind offer. She nodded with a grateful smile. “Okay.” 

When the call ended, she put her phone down and stretched lazily, then headed into the bathroom to wash up.

An hour later, she arrived at Paradigm Co. She had only just gotten to her office when she saw Daphne standing at the doorway, looking expectant. “President Reed!” Daphne greeted her with a courteous nod.

Sonia grinned at her. She opened the door to the office, asking, “Anything interesting happened while I was gone?”

Daphne trailed after her, and when they were in the confines of the office, she said, “No, but President Dafoe did say a couple of nasty things about you, something about how you’re skipping out on work even though you’re the vice president and whatnot. He said you were unfit for the role.”

An icy smirk tugged on Sonia’s lips. “Guess they figured out that there’s no way for them to steal my share of the authority in this company, not while it’s the majority anyway. I suppose they can only resort to petty gossip just to give themselves some satisfaction.”

She never did clarify the reason for her absence yesterday, since it had to do with her personal affairs. In retrospect, she felt lucky that she hadn’t told anyone of the real reason; if Asher and the others could pick faults under such vague circumstances, then she could only imagine how merciless they would be if they found out she missed work because she had gone to terminate her pregnancy.

“That’s true enough.” Daphne agreed heartily with a firm nod.

Sonia pulled out her chair from behind her desk and turned on her computer. “Any work lined up for me today?”
