Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 25

President Fuller?

Sonia looked at the door of the private

room, just in time to meet Toby’s cold

gaze. After just one second, she averted her eyes and released the

teapot in her hand.

“President Fuller, why are you here?” Chester, who was sitting next to Sonia, stood up and asked politely.

The men in the private room were all

one generation older than Toby-some

even two-but Toby’s power in the

industry was obvious to everyone.

Coupled with the fact that the Fuller

Group was currently at the peak of

their power, they wouldn’t dare get into a public dispute with Toby.

Toby shot Sonia a glance, then walked

in and said in his deep voice, “I heard

that you were here playing cards, Mr.

King, so I came to say hello.”

“It’s Friday today. It’s fine. Come and

play some cards.” As opposed to the

arrogance he displayed in front of

Sonia, at this moment, he was

speaking to Toby with a smile. “It just

so happened that President Reed

came to talk about the order of the

goods, so she stayed to play a few

rounds with us.”

Chester smiled and chimed in. “That’s

right. I’m friends with Sonia’s father, He’s very good at playing cards, but she must be rather unlucky, because she keeps losing.”

The other two bosses muttered a few

words in agreement as well, then they

took the opportunity to exchange

business cards with Toby.

Meanwhile, Sonia was silently fiddling

with her cards.

After receiving the business cards

from the two men, Toby strode toward

Paul and said blankly, “You guys carry

on playing. I’ll just watch.”

Paul understood the man’s actions as

soon as he saw it, so he immediately

gave up his seat.

Toby pulled out the chair and sat down.

It was only at such a close distance did

he notice that Sonia’s turtleneck was

wet, and a little bit of hair was sticking

to her fair neck.

“Cough, cough!” While she was playing,

Sonia suddenly coughed twice.

Toby felt the chill, then saw that the

window was wide open, so he went

over and closed it before calling the

waiter over and instructing, “Bring me a

blanket.”

Paul and the rest’s expressions

changed when they saw the way Taby

However, Sonila turned a blind eye and

ear to Toby and his words. After arranging her cards, she threw one out.

In no time, the waiter delivered the

blanket.

“Thank you, but I’m not cold.” Sonia

politely accepted the blanket, then

stuffed it behind her chair before

continuing with the game.

Seeing how stubborn she was being, Toby frowned and felt annoyed.

This woman had never even been in the

business circle before, yet she dared to come here and play cards with a bunch of cunning old foxes. Isn’t she afraid of being eaten alive?

Perhaps it was because Toby was

there-or perhaps because everyone in the private room knew about his relationship with Sonia-the

atmosphere in the private room

suddenly became very harmonious,

and no one talked about anything

indecent

Paul and the others even quietly fed Sonia good cards.

How could Sonia not know the true

nature of these people? Letting out

inward sneers, she pretended not to understand their actions and continued to throw down random cards.

The cards in her hand got worse and

worse. The men wanted to win, but

they didn’t dare do so.

Toby saw Sonia coughing a few more times, and his brows furrowed even more. When she was about to play a card, he leaned over, then took another

card and threw it out.

When Sonia caught a whiff of the cold

scent from the man’s body, she grew

even more lightheaded, so she leaned

back.

Afterward, Toby basically picked cards

for Sonia and laid them down,

Paul glanced at Toby, then said to

Sonia almost apologetically. “A few days ago, an old customer of mine suddenly placed an order, and I didn’t inform the commerce department

before signing with him. It’s only today

that I learned that your company

urgently needs the foreign goods, President Reed. I’m really sorry. I’ll call

the commerce department later, and I’ll

sign the contract at 9.00AM tomorrow.

I’ll definitely ask the factory to produce

your goods as soon as possible.”

Since Paul was showing such kindness, Sonia accepted it. “Then, I’ll have to trouble you with it, Mr. King.

Couah, cough.”

Cough, cough…

Seeing how badly she was coughing, to the point where her cheeks were slightly flushed, Toby felt even more agitated. He pulled out the blanket

from behind her chair and was about

to wrap it around her, but Sonia noticed

it and suddenly stood up to avoid

contact with him.

“President Fuller, Mr. King, I still have things waiting for me to deal with at

the office. You guys continue playing. Today’s bill is on me.”

With that, Sonia picked up her bag and

left.

Her high heels made crisp clattering sounds on the tiles, and her slender figure quickly disappeared outside the door of the private room.

Chester was unbothered as he

watched Sonia leave. While he played, he issued Toby with an invitation.

“President Fuller, there’ll be a cocktail

party at 7.00PM tomorrow. Do you

have time to attend and have a taste of

some good wine?”

“I’m not free tomorrow night,” Toby

answered simply as he drew a card,

but he didn’t look at it as he stood up.

He glanced at Paul and the several

other people at the table. His gaze was

extremely sharp, and his voice was deep. “No matter how bad my ex-wife’s card skills are, no one can bully her. Mr. Yancey, don’t you agree?”

“Y-Yes.” Chester forced a smile. “President Fuller, you’ve

misunderstood. We didn’t bully Miss

Reed.”

“Mr. Yancey, regarding your plan to

build a resort in the Northern District,

I’ve read the proposal, and I’m not

interested.” Toby threw the cards onto

the table, then stated with a blank

expression, “Mr. Yancey, go find a new

partner.”

The man then picked up his coat and

strode off.

Paul uncovered Toby’s cards and was shocked when he saw them. “Sonia’s cards were so bad, but after President Fuller took over, he was able to get winning cards…”

Meanwhile, Chester seemed paralysed

in his seat, as if his soul had left his

body. “Aren’t they divorced?”

That‘s right

The few of them exchanged confused

looks with each other.

Everyone knew that Toby’s marriage

with Sonia was completely ruined, but

anyone would be able to discern that

Toby was protecting his ex-wife just

now.

When Sonia left the private room, she NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

saw that it was still raining, so she

went to the front desk to ask for an

umbrella.

Not only was it raining heavily outside,

it was also cold. As the cold wind blew

on her, her coughing got even more

severe. When she reached the front of

the car and was about to open the car

door, her wrist was tightly grabbed.

When Toby felt how cold the woman’s

hands were, his eyes darkened, “You

can’t drive like this. I’ll send you back.

“President Fuller, let go,” Sonia tried hard to pull her hand out while saying coldly: “Even if I can’t drive, I can call for a driver. You don’t need to bother about mel”

In the past, Sonia was docile and

virtuous, and she never spoke like this.

Now, when she called him “President

Fuller”, it sounded piercing.

“Sonia, we’re just divorced. I’m not your

enemy.” Toby summoned his patience

to talk to her. “You can tell me if you

need anything. There’s no need to

suffer by coming here to play cards

with Mr. King and the rest.”

Curling her lips, Sonia sneered.

“Compared to the grievances I suffered during our marriage, what happened today were trivial matters.”

At this moment, Sonia’s phone rang.

Ignoring Toby, she took out her phone

and saw that it was Charles calling, so

she quickly answered the phone. “Hey,

are you done settling your company’s

business?”

“Not yet. I went to Norfolk for a

business trip. I won’t be back until next

Wednesday.”

“Okay. That’s fine. Settle your affairs first,” Sonia replied, then lowered her

head and coughed. “Dwells will sign

the contract with us tomorrow.”

VE

“Didn’t I say that I’d deal with it after i return? Did they bully you?”

“Yeah.”

Toby was standing next to her, so even

though the call wasn’t on speakerphone, he could vaguely hear their conversation.

He watched as Sonia brazenly behaved

coquettishly with Charles, and she

even asked him to go to a branded

store to bring two new items back.

Compared to the docile person she

was before, she was a completely

different person, which caused an

insuppressible sense of irritation to

rise in Toby’s heart.
