Boss, Your Wife's Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Tina skimmed through Sonia's proposal, but the more she read, the worse she looked. She might beinept in business, but that didn't mean she couldn“t appraise a proposal. After she took a look, sheknew Sonia's proposal was a top-tier one. In fact, it was loads better than the one she handed in.She couldn't believe Sonia could come up with such a great proposal after taking over Paradigm Co.for a mere two months.

No. She couldn't have come up with this. She must have hired someone to do this. I bet she did. Tinabrushed her jealousy aside and insisted that Sonia couldn't have come up with that brilliantproposal on her own. But either way, she couldn't deny the fact that Toby could very possibly gowith Sonia's proposal. The fact that Sonia might get a spot while her family didn’t was unacceptablefor Tina. “I can't let this happen.”

Tina bit her lip. And all of a sudden, a plan struck her. She put both Sonia's and her proposal on thetable, then she unclipped them and swapped the proposals. Since the name tag was only there onthe file, Sonia's and Titus’ proposals were successfully swapped. After she did all that, Tina smiledsmugly. Suddenly, she heard sounds of footsteps coming closer. Tina knew it must be Tom, so shepanicked. She quickly closed the files and put them back in their original positions.

After that, she went back to the sofa and pretended to scroll through her phone. As expected, Tomcame in a moment later. “Sorry for the wait, Miss Gray.” “Not at all,” Tina answered politely. Tomdidn't notice anything wrong with the room, and he put the cup of coffee in front of Tina. She wasjust about to take a sip, but then her phone rang. “Sorry. I'll need to take this.” She smiledapologetically while taking her phone out.

"Hello? Cynthia? You're out?” Surprise colored Tina's face. Tom arched his eyebrow at her. Cynthia’sout? “Okay, I'll be right there.” After she put her phone down, Tina looked at Tom. “Please tell Toby Iwon't be seeing him, Mr. Brown.” She wanted to see Cynthia. Even though she only thought ofCynthia as a disposable lackey instead of her friend, she had to keep Cynthia by her side, sinceCynthia had been loyal to her.

And I can use her to defend me if something were to happen. Can't cut our “friendship” off just yet. “I'llpass the message to him, Miss Gray. You go ahead and do your thing.” Tom nodded, smiling. AfterTina was gone, Tom went to the top floor with the stack of documents in hand. He then knocked onToby's office's door. “Enter.” Toby's cool, magnetic voice sounded from within. Tom went into theoffice. “President Fuller, these are the proposals everyone handed in.”

Toby stopped writing and looked at the stack of documents. “Everyone?” “Yes.” Tom nodded. Toby'seyes glinted. “Where's Sonia's?" He regretted it the moment he asked Tom, since Tom might thinkhe was caring about Sonia too much. After all, he only asked for her proposal. He didn't know whyhe cared about her proposal so much though. But when he noticed that Tom wasn't surprised abouthis question, he calmed down.

Maybe Tom doesn't think I'm caring about Sonia. However, unbeknownst to Toby, Tom wasn'tsurprised because he knew Toby still liked Sonia. In that case, he wasn't surprised when Toby askedfor Sonia's proposal. “Here.” He handed Toby Sonia's proposal. Toby opened the proposal, curiousand excited. However, he frowned the moment he saw the proposal, and his excitement was gonewith the wind. Bad. This is just bad.

This proposal is too general. There's nothing exciting here. It's not competitive at all. How can she evenhand in something like this? Toby pursed his lips, and his disappointment showed on his face. Tomnoticed it too. “Is something wrong with her proposal, President Fuller?” He pushed his glasses up."Have a look for yourself.” Toby tossed the file to Tom. Tom caught it and skimmed through it, butafter he was done, the corner of his lips twitched.

“This... Maybe it's Miss Reed's first time getting involved in alternative energy technology, and sheprobably doesn't know much about it, so she ended up with this proposal...” Tom's defense madesense to Toby, and his frown unraveled. “Leave her proposal here. Filter the rest and bin the badones. I'll look through the remaining proposals and pick the best one.” “Understood.” Tom noddedand left with the remaining files, but he glanced at Sonia's proposal before he left. President Fullertold me to bin the bad ones. In that case, Miss Reed's proposal should be binned as well, but he singledher proposal out. Ah, so he wants to give her a chance. And here I thought this would be a faircompetition. Tom rolled his eyes. So President Fuller does have double standards too. After Tom wasgone, Toby flipped through Sonia's file again. He picked up his fountain pen and started writingdown suggestions on the parts he thought that could be improved.

But Sonia didn't know anything about that. While Toby was writing his suggestions down, she hadalready arrived at the Reed Residence. Her parents bought it more than two decades ago rightbefore they were married. She grew up in this place, and it contained a lot of memories. But afterher mother passed away twenty years ago, everything changed. Her father remarried and had adaughter with his second wife.

The Reed Residence was no longer her place of refuge. Since then, it was just a common inn for her.Nay, an inn had more warmth than this shell of a home. Six years ago, her dad passed away as well.After that, her stepmother and stepsister ran away with his money, leaving only this villa behind.Since then, Sonia sealed this place down and never came back. Until this day, it was still the samevilla, but everything had changed over the years.

She sighed and was about to unlock the gates, but then she remembered something. A frowncreased her forehead, and she took out the key Rose gave her. “Odd.” She stared down at the keys.One of them was given to her by Rose, while the other one was her own. Rose told her it was thekey to the Reed Residence when she gave it to her. But my key also unlocks the residence as well.Hmm, both of them are different though. When she took the key Rose gave her, she didn't realizeshe had the Reed Residence’s key as well, so she didn't notice that Rose's key was different from theone she already had.

The only reason she brought her own key here was because the access card was attached to thekeychain. I guess Grandma's key is more than meets the eye. Either the villa’s lock has been changed,or this key unlocks some other door. Sonia glanced at the front door for a moment.

When she tried to unlock it, she realized it was still the same lock. So Grandma's key unlocks anotherdoor, but I have no idea which door it is. "Guess I should take a look,” Sonia mumbled as sheunlocked the front door, then she went inside. There was nothing in the villa. Her stepmother andstepsister sold everything valuable in this place, leaving nothing but a sheet of thick dust behind.Every step Sonia took left a footprint on the ground.
