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

Chapter 1138

At that moment, Grayson, who had a strong dislike toward Sonia, felt even more unhappy with her, thinking she

was purposely stalling and making him wait.

After all, Sonia was the only person who was daring enough to do that to him, which he assumed must be because

she thought Toby had her back. How arrogant this lady is! Why are you so cocky, Sonia? You're nowhere close to

Lynette. What makes you think you're a perfect match for Toby?

As Grayson grew tired of waiting and was about to barge into the building, the receptionist suddenly put down the

phone after saying something to Sonia on the inside and turned her attention to the man. "I'm sorry to have made

you wait, Mr. Lore. Chairman Reed has agreed to see you now. Please come with me." She then extended her arm

and showed the two men the way.

Grayson lightened up a little when he heard her words, but he remained haughty and insolent. At the same time, he

waved his hand and grunted. "At last, she made the right move."

When the receptionist heard the man's words, she secretly rolled her eyes upward in disdain. What the hell is wrong

with this man?! He is on someone else's turf, yet he won't keep his arrogance in check at all. I suppose I shouldn't

be surprised to see a man like him with a shameless daughter who wants nothing but to be a mistress! No wonder

people say like father, like daughter!

The receptionist's mind was filled with disgust toward Grayson, but due to her status as an ordinary employee

working at the front desk, she didn't dare to express her disdain as she continued to lead Grayson and his assistant

to the elevator. Nonetheless, she hoped that Sonia would teach them a lesson later.

In the meantime, Grayson, who was following behind the receptionist, kept looking around the building. Noticing the

old interior design, Grayson didn't even bother to hide the contemptuous look on his face. In fact, he even wiped

the elevator to degrade Sonia's company, although there was barely any dust inside the elevator. Then, he blew his

own hands and clapped them like he was trying to dust his hands. At the same time, he went on to mock the

company by asking, "What's with this design? I can't believe Paradigm Co. is so old-fashioned."

Meanwhile, the receptionist felt even more disgusted when she saw what Grayson did. After all, she worked at the

front desk and had come across countless people day in and day out. Thus, she considered herself quite a keen

judge of character and was able to see through Grayson's ill intention behind his gestures.

How cheap! This guy is just trying to make Paradigm Co. seem bad. As one of the employees of her company, she

had to admit that Paradigm Co. was not in its best financial state at that moment. However, she was grateful that

the company had never forgotten the benefits that they deserved. At the same time, she was never worried about

Paradigm Co.'s respect and her own future, considering the relationship between Sonia and Toby.

Because of that, every single employee had a strong sense of belonging in the company. Thus, the receptionist

could not stand it when she heard someone degrading her company, but despite her displeasure, she wasn't going

to express it anyway because she was just an ordinary employee who worked at the front desk.

Other than knitting her eyebrows and reacting with an indifferent attitude, there was only so much she could do.

Nevertheless, she was determined deep down to tell Sonia what she saw, thinking her boss was in a better place to

refute Grayson than she was.

Well, even if Chairman Reed can't do anything, I'm sure Mr. Fuller can handle this guy. At the thought of that, the

receptionist only kept her eyes on the elevator door without even bothering to look at Grayson. While she continued

to smile, she answered nonchalantly, "Paradigm Co. was built more than twenty years ago, so it's not surprising that

the interior design seems old school. Although it's barely comparable to the trend right now, the design was one of

the most popular ones back then."

"No wonder." Grayson smiled nonchalantly. "You may be right, but after more than two decades, don't you think it's

time for your company to go through a makeover? After all, your company's appearance is the most obvious factor

that influences how people think of it. If your management won't do anything to change it, it'll only seem to others

as if it hasn't progressed at all without anything worth looking forward to." The man implied that Paradigm Co. was

just like an outdated property, destined to be left forgotten.

The receptionist clenched her fists and faked a smile. "I beg to differ, Mr. Lore. The reason the interior design in

Paradigm Co. remains the same is not because we can't afford to change, but because our leaders are nostalgic of

the past. Furthermore, with the relationship between Paradigm Co. and the Fuller Group, I'm sure it's only a matter

of time before they do something about changing the interior design. In fact, even if we don't make any changes,

I'm sure whoever works with our company will respect us due to our alliance with the Fuller Group. After all, no one

is going to disrespect us just because of our outdated interior design, which is why I don't think it's that important of

a matter to change the interior design. Moreover, Paradigm Co. is backed by the Fuller Group just as Chairman

Reed is backed by Mr. Fuller."

On the other hand, Grayson could also tell what the receptionist was insinuating, knowing she was trying to point

out the fact that the Lore Family had gotten on the wrong side of Toby, making it even harder for them to align

themselves with the Fuller Family again.

In that instant, Grayson was overwhelmed with anger, yet there was nothing he could do to the receptionist. After

all, he didn't want to be embarrassed if word about him, a corporate president, messing around with an ordinary

receptionist got out. Despite his frustration and annoyance with the receptionist's reply, he couldn't do anything

except put up with her.

Because of that, the elevator was shrouded in silence as Grayson fixed his cold gaze on the receptionist. Deep

down, Grayson was annoyed about his failure to degrade Paradigm Co., but what irritated him even more was that

his petty attempt to insult the company ironically put him in an embarrassing position.

Soon, the elevator arrived just as the door opened. Then, the receptionist stepped out of the elevator and heaved a

sigh of relief, pretending as if nothing ever happened. At the same time, she extended her arm and politely invited

Grayson and his assistant to step out of the elevator. "This way, Mr. Lore. We're almost reaching Chairman Reed's

office."

Grayson glimpsed the receptionist and grunted coldly, fixing his collar as he stepped out of the elevator with his

assistant following right behind him closely.

"We're here," the receptionist said to Grayson and his assistant, whereupon she knocked on the door.

Sonia's voice could soon be heard from inside the door. "Come in."

The receptionist soon opened the door. "Chairman Reed, Mr. Lore is here."

Sonia then put down her pen and looked up, setting her eyes on the receptionist while nodding. "Let them in while

you make us some tea."

"Alright," the receptionist replied with an affirmative hum, showing Grayson and his assistant the way into Sonia's

office before she left to make them some tea.

The next moment, Sonia stood up and walked closer to Grayson. "Mr. Lore, welcome to Paradigm Co. Please take a

seat." She pointed at the couch not far away from her, signaling Grayson to sit there. However, Grayson was seen

with a disgusted look on his face when he saw the old-fashioned wooden couch. Thus, he directly approached the

couch without responding to Sonia and sat down as if he was the boss who owned the place.

When Sonia saw that, she squinted with an indifferent look on her face. Just as she was about to say something, the

receptionist, who was supposed to make some tea, peeked from the door and spoke. "Chairman Reed, I can't find

the tea leaves, so could you please come here?" The receptionist mustered her courage and waved her hand at

Sonia.

Sonia raised her eyebrows upon hearing the receptionist's words. What? She can't find the tea leaves? That's

impossible. They have always been in the same, obvious spot in the cabinet. She must have something she wants to

talk to me about. Sonia was sure that the tea leaves should still be there, and she instantly saw through the

receptionist's intention of beckoning her over. Because of that, she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll meet you in the

pantry."

In the meantime, the receptionist heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Sonia's affirmative reply, whereupon she

disappeared at the door.
