This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 1088

Chapter 1088 Playing Dirty

Now that Toby had persuaded her the second time, Sonia thought that she would let him down if she were to keep on hesitating. Besides, he did have a point. Some opportunities were hard to come across for the second time once she missed out on them; perhaps she’d never come across these opportunities again.

Naturally, she had to seize this golden opportunity. Moreover, these batches of goods were snatched from Connor by Toby. Even if her experiment with them turned out to be a failure, even if Paradigm Co. couldn’t modify parts of engines, it wouldn’t cause any losses to the company. After all, she didn’t spend a single penny on the raw materials. She believed that the company’s senior executives wouldn’t raise any objections upon learning about this.

At the thought of this, she finally made up her mind and nodded in agreement. “Okay, I’ll give it a try, then. Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. I know that you’ve always wanted to become successful as soon as possible, and I’m looking forward to it so that you won’t be stressed. Now that there’s an opportunity, I hope you can go after it fearlessly. I always have your back, you know,” Toby encouraged while looking into her eyes.

Sonia blushed a little. “Tom is still on the other end of the line. Don’t you worry that he’ll laugh at us after you say these things?”

Tom instantly shuddered on the other end of the line. Therefore, he promptly replied, “Miss Reed. this isn’t something to be joked about. Why would I laugh at you two? Plus, I don’t have the guts to do so.”

“Did you hear that? He says he doesn’t dare to do so.” Toby pointed at his phone. “So, why worry about him? Just say whatever we want to say.”

“Yeah, that’s right.” Tom nodded repeatedly.

Sonia covered her mouth as she chuckled. “Alright, cut it out. Just have the goods delivered to Paradigm Co. I’ll have Daphne arrange for somebody to wait downstairs and store the goods in the parking lot’s storeroom. Then, I’ll discuss what we’ll do about them at tomorrow’s meeting with the company’s shareholders.”

Toby lowered his eyes to look at the phone’s screen. “Did you hear that?” Obviously, the question was directed at Tom.

Tom pushed his glasses up his nose and said with a straight face. “Don’t worry, President Fuller. I’m not hard of hearing.” So you don’t have to go out of your way to ask me this.

“Since you’ve heard that, just do as she says,” Toby said impassively as his thin lips parted. You may get lost now, he thought.

Tom was only too eager to hang up the call. The instant Toby said that, he quickly bid his goodbyes, saying, “Goodbye, President Fuller.” Then, he wasted no time in ending the call.

This was Toby’s first time having his subordinate hang up on him, so he was involuntarily stunned for a moment. Then his handsome face darkened as he realized what had just happened. “How dare he hang up on me without my permission!” He clutched his phone as he looked at Sonia with a visible hint of disbelief in his eyes.

His shocked appearance amused Sonia, so she merely patted him on the shoulder. “Alright, don’t be angry. Didn’t you tell Tom to get it done in the first place? So, there’s nothing wrong with him doing so. You should feel lucky to have such a nice and obedient subordinate who does what you tell him to do right away.”

Toby replied with a snort, “Don’t think that I don’t know you’re making excuses for him because you don’t want me to take his behavior to heart.”

Sonia stuck out her tongue without saying anything to refute his words.

A hint of smugness flashed across Toby’s eyes when he sensed that she had submitted to him. As he gradually let down his guard, his arm slowly relaxed around her waist.

Naturally, Sonia noticed this subtle change, and her eyes gleamed shrewdly. Now’s the time! She narrowed her eyes as she held his shoulders and used the chance to push him away.

The moment Toby was pushed away, he was totally stunned. He blinked at her, staring at Sonia in a daze as she checked her appearance. I have actually been pushed away! He was filled with disbelief. Nonetheless, even if he couldn’t believe it, it was useless. What had happened had already happened, and Sonia had indeed pushed him away. Thus, he lowered his eyes to conceal his astonishment as he regained his composure and returned to his usual demeanor while regarding her with downcast eyes.

Sonia felt somewhat guilty under his stare, so she stopped fixing her hair. Her eyes flickered as she asked, “Why are you looking at me like this?”

Toby pursed his lips and uttered, “You played dirty.”

Sonia’s lips twitched. “How did I play dirty?”

“You purposely responded to my advances just now to let my guard down. But, then, you took the opportunity to push me away,” Toby said while looking at her with an even more bitter look. “I didn’t know there would be such a calculative side to you.” That’s right—she struggled whenever I kissed her all of a sudden in the past. Only when we slept together at night would she put up a token resistance before responding to my advances. At other times—especially outside, she’d only struggle without responding to me. I actually overlooked this and let her have her way just now. “I never thought there’d be such a cunning side to you!” He looked at her aggrievedly.

Sonia looked at him smugly before saying slyly, “Even an idiot would’ve learned to be smarter after being attacked by surprise so many times, so you can’t blame me for that. It’s your fault for kissing me again all of a sudden.”
