This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 1001 Toby’s Careful Thoughts

Charles fell silent after hearing the answers from the assistants and secretaries. What was it that he didn’t get it this time?

After being hidden in the lounge by Sonia, the person watching him in the lounge was actually Daphne.

It was no surprise that Sonia wanted to keep him from opening the lounge door so that he would not see Daphne.

“President Lane? President Lane?” The assistants in the office could not help but call Charles twice out of curiosity when they saw him standing at the door with his head slightly lowered.

“What’s the matter?” His eyes flickered briefly before returning to normal.

“Oh, nothing at all. It’s just that we noticed you suddenly lost your focus and we’re concerned that something is up with you,” the assistants said while shaking their heads.

“It’s all right. Continue with your work. I’m not going to bother you,” Charles said as he rubbed his brows.

Then, he exited the room, shut the door, and leaned against the wall of the assistant secretary’s office. Deep in thought, he raised his head slightly to look at the corridor ceiling.

He finally understood why Daphne hid in Sonia’s lounge and refused to come out. It was all because he had stated that he did not want to see her again. Due to his words, Daphne probably hid when she heard him approaching. Huh, she really did remember my words and stood by them.

Charles had an incomprehensible expression, indicating that he was feeling uneasy. By right, he should be happy and satisfied that Daphne had reacted in that manner. Instead of being pleased, he was rather irritated and bothered when she avoided him.

He became enraged the more he thought about it, so he abruptly opened the door to the assistant secretary’s office once again.

The ajar door disturbed the secretaries and assistants inside, who were focused on their work, and several of them stared at the man.

“President Lane… Do you need something?” an assistant asked cautiously while blinking at a glum Charles.
