Chapter 35

Although Tina was speaking in a gentle

tone, she was openly taunting Sonia

Sonia merely arched her eyebrows before she graciously smiled. “Since you said it first, it’s alright. Youcan go ahead to

purchase it.”

Tina never expected that Sonia would not even compete with her and gave her the watch instead. As aresult, Tina did not

return to her senses in that instant.

*Tina, it seems like Sonia doesn’t dare to offend you.” Tina’s friend leaned toward

her and boasted, “She doesn’t have any

support after she divorced Toby. Her

company is on the brink of bankruptcy.

which is why she won’t dare to take anything from you.”

Indeed. Now: Sonna has nothing apart from

a broken company

After hearing her friend’s words, Tina felt

relieved. She took the watch and handed it

to the saleswoman with her credit card.

“Till pay by card. Please wrap it for me.”

However, the saleswoman did not accept

Tina’s card and she instead asked

tentatively, “Miss, are you one of our VVIP

customers?”

“No.” Tina frowned while looking slightly

displeased at this moment. “You mean to

say that I can‘t even pay by card to buy this

lousy watch?”

“You can buy any other watches in our store using a card, but not for this series.” The saleswomanlooked conflicted. “Only The VVIP customers, who have spent six

million in our store for the past two years,

can buy it.”

Tina was speechless upon hearing that.

“She‘s just a saleswoman who sells watches. I wonder where her arrogance

comes from.” Tina’s friend exclaimed in

annoyance. “I want to speak to your

manager! How ludicrous! We can’t even

buy a watch here?”

The saleswoman explained, “The watches

in this series have restrictions. It won’t

change anything even if our manager is

here.”

“Alright, I understand that we are not able to buy it, but what about this woman?

“Well, Miss Reed is able to buy it,” she replied. “She became our VIP customer three years ago as shehas spent enough

money here.”

Once again, upon hearing those words,

Tina was at a loss of words again.

When she heard what the saleswoman said, she spent a lot of effort maintaining

the gentle and calm composure on her

face.

Sonia had enough of the drama and took

the watch from Tina’s hand before she

passed it to the saleswoman. “Since you

are not able to buy it, Miss Gray, I’ll take it

instead.”

In a short moment, she took the receipt and the wrapped watch back with her.

Sonia said her thanks, but she paused next to Tina just as she was about to leave and apologized, “MissGray, there are some things that you can’t buy even if I give the opportunity to you.”

When Tina heard Sonia’s words, it felt like a slap to her face and she even felt her

cheeks burning.

As she glanced at Sonia’s leaving figure,

Tina recalled what Tyler had said when he

accidentally called her during last night.

Her gaze then slowly darkened. Why is she

always after what I want?

Sonia was in a great mood aller witnessing the drama. When she took the elevator to the basementparking lot, she Si’w a familiar face.

“President Reed.”

She quickly recognized the tall and slender woman in front of her. “Rebecca Harper?”

Rebecca was Charles’ ex-classmate. She was initially about to work for his

company, but when he learned that Sonia

did not have any support in Paradigm Co. he asked Rebecca to help Sonia out.

Even though Sonia had been recently busy.

she knew that Rebecca worked at the

finance department as an accountant and

she was rather careful at the job.

*There are many employees in the company, so I’m quite surprised that you remember me.” Rebeccasmiled as she held a cake in her hand. “There’s a dessert store here that serves tasty desserts. I’m

on my off day today, so I’m here to buy some desserts. What about you, President Reed? Are you hereto buy some clothes?”

“It’s Charles’ birthday today, so I’m here to

buy some presents for him.” Sonia shook the bag in her hand. “Do you have any plans tonight?”

“No. I just plan to head home and watch a

few movies on the couch.”

“Why don’t you join our celebration? The

more the merrier. Since you are his ex classmate, we are all familiar with each

other,” Sonia responded.

“Since you have invited me, I’ll gladly join you, President Reed!” Rebecca did not

reject Sonia and pressed the button on the

elevator to head down. “Let’s go to the Second floor then. I’m going to buy a lighter for him. After all, Ican’t attend his

birthday celebration empty handed.”

Rebecca had the looks of an innocent girl.

She was fair, slender and exceptionally

beautiful, but she was a chatterbox at the same time. Once she started speaking, it was difficult for her tostop, so she became loquacious.

This was the first time that Sonia had met

Someone even more talkative than

Charles, so she felt quite exasperated

about it.

Just as she was about to bring Rebecca to

Luna Club, Charles gave her a ring. “My grandmother has insisted on spending the night with me andwants me to return home to have dinner together. Argh!! guess I’ll only arrive at Luna Club by around10:00PM.”

“Sure. We’ll have dinner first before we’ll wait for you in the private room there.” After she hung up thecall, she brought

Rebecca for dinner.

Once they found a spot, Rebecca looked

around before asking Sonia, “President

Reed, I heard that you need to inform Luna

Club your salary range before you could

enter. Is that true?”

Yeah, so I booked the place under

Charles’ name.”

“Why didn’t you use President Fuller’s name? Aren’t you guys marrie? It is probably more convenient tojust use his card,” Rebecca asked curiously

Sonia’s expression did not change much, but she asked indifferently, “How did you

know that we are married to each other?”

“Everyone knows that. It’s not a secret after all.” Rebecca shrugged. “However, I’m

curious-you are his wife and Paradigm

Co. has not been doing well lately. Why didn’t President Fuller help you out?”

After many years of marriage, he didn‘t even

look at me, let alone help me “He has way

too many things on his hands, so he’s

rather busy.” Sonia lowered her head to

look at the cup of tea in her hands. “Tve

already divorced him a few weeks ago, so

I’m no longer his wife.”

Upon hearing that a shocked Rebecca exclaimed, “Oh! I see.”

She quickly saw that talking about this topic had rendered Sonia in a terrible mood, so she lifted her cupof tea and

toasted Sonia. “Congratulations for becoming single again, President Reed! It’s

great to be single-we don’t have so much to worry about. It’s an amazing thing! If

you want to remarry, you can consider

Charles! Since you guys grew up together

and he takes good care of you, you guys

are beyond compatible!”

Sonia smiled after she heard Rebecca’s

jokes as it helped to lift her mood quite a

bit.

When dinner was over, she challed with Rebecca while they walked around the place. She planned tohead to the private room to start the karaoke while waiting for Charles to arrive.

Just as Sonia and Rebecca walked out of

the restaurant, they met a few women.

Sonia was about to make way for those

women, but she did not expect that Tina and her friend, whom she saw at the watch

store in the afternoon, were among them.

Upon seeing this, she was stunned.

As Tina did not expect to see Sonia twice

in a day, she almost failed to maintain her

composure

“Miss Reed.” This time around, she

forcefully spoke through aritted teeth. “I

heard that Paradigm Co. isn’t doing quite well recently. You’d need to reveal your salary here.”

Sonia merely gave a slight smile. “Yeah, I know. I’m using my boyfriend’s card. Do you have anythingelse to say about that, Miss Gray?”

Tina’s pink lips were pressed together in a firm line, but she soon recalled something

and answered gently, “I’m about to play

some card games with my friends and we

are one person short. It’s good that we met

here. Since we are all acquainted with

each other, let’s play a few rounds

together.”

With that, she introduced Sonia to her

friends. “Meet Sonia Reed, the vice

president of Paradigm Co.”

As Tina spoke respectfully to the woman

next to her and even lowered her stance in

a slightly ingratiating way, it made Sonia

take a second look at the woman, who

wore a beautiful black dress. It made the

woman stand out and overpower her peers

with just her looks.

“Who is this Miss Gray? Why is she so defensive toward you?” Rebecca inched

closer to Sonia and asked quietly.

“My ex-husband’s lover.”
