Chapter 42
Dur to the aftermath of her binne drinking,
headache and massaged her temples while leaning against the headboard. As
she did so, her blanket slid off her body
and she could feel the cold air on her skin.
She lowered her head and realized that
she was merely clad in a camisole. What’s going on?
She was about to fling the blanket off her
to get off from bed when she caught sight
of a man next to her pillow from the corner
of her eyes; he was currently topless and sound asleep. The hair on his forehead
was slightly tousled and he had handsome facial features. At that moment, her eyes
widened in disbelief to the point where she
was completely
s chliess. She had recalled that she was drinking excessively the previous night to the point where she
was tipsy, but she somehow remembered
hearing Toby’s inaudible voice in the background. Did I simply grab a guy off the streets and sleep with
him after being so triggeredlast night?
As soon as she realized that she’d slept
with a random guy, she couldn’t even bear to cast another look at the guy next to her. Then, she
collected her clothes from the
chair and dressed up. She was just about
to get some money from her purse when
she realized that her bag was nowhere to
be found despite her searching high and
low for it.
Sonia grabbed hold of a notepad and was
about to leave her phone number on it
when she realized that there was already a string of numribers on it. Perhaps that guy nust have left his
number because he was worried that would flee the scene if I woke up earlier. Subsequently, she tore
off that particular piece of paper on the notepad and left in a hurry.
About half an hour later, Sonia caught a
cab to work after she freshened up with a
shower at home. However, she still hadn’t
fully regained her composure as she was
experiencing the shocking after-effects
from her fling last night.
“President Reed’s here!”
Sonia had just alighted from the cab and
she didn’t even manage to steady herself
when a bunch of reporters rushed toward
her from all corners to surround her. There

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfrom her fling last night.
“President Reed’s here!”
Sonia had just alighted from the cab and she didn’t even manage to steady herself
when a bunch of reporters rushed toward
her from all corners to surround her. There
were multiple flashes of light directed at
her face.
“President Reed, who’s the man in the
mudio recording?”
“That voice doesn’t sound like that model, Carl! Could you provide an explanation?!”
“President Reed, are you here to work at
Paradigm Co. or to exploit your identity as the vice-president to pursue other guys?!”
Sonia was speechless as the stinging
questions from the reporters were aimed
at her like repeated explosions.
Although she was unaware of the audio
recording that the reporters referred to
she quickly regained full composure and
hid every sign of abnormality from them.
Through the crowd in an attempt to leave
“Excuse me, please give way.”
“President Reed, why are you evading our questions? Do you have a guilty conscience7” One of the
reporters interrogated, “It’s been speculated that you and President Fuller had a divorce
because of the indiscretions of your
private life.”
“GAY
It was after a moment of silence that
Charles forced his way through the crowd
and wrapped his arms around Sonia in a
protective stance before he rebuked, “You
mentioned that it’s a speculation, so how
Can that be true?! I’ve heard rumors that
“Furthermore, my girlfriend and President
Fuller have amicably ended their marriage. As for infidelity…” Charlies snorted with laughter. “Why
don’t you guys ask President Fuller what he means by
showing so much concern to another
woman at the hospital every single day before he is legally married to her?”
“Well, that’s all. I’ve said everything I have
to say, so please leave!” He shoved the
reporters aside and pushed his way out of
the circle.
“My girlfriend is quite timid, so don’t
frighten her! You won’t be able to get any
Sensational news from her. I heard that
President Fuller is about to remarry, so
perhaps you guys should pursue that news
instead. It should be easier to get your
monetary reward from there.”
Meanwhile, Sonia remained silent.
Charles showed and kicked the reporters with his limbs. Soon, he managed to break free from the
crowd with her in tow before
they entered Paradigm Co.
Sonia turned around to glance at the
reporters still waiting outside and she
flashed a thumbs-up at him. “That was
such a great job there! You’ve proved your
worth today and all the meals you have
had at my house since you were young
were not in vain after all.” After the divorce,
I would have been in deep trouble if it hadn’t
been for Charles’ help.
“We‘ve been buddies for twenty years,
Don’t tell me this is the first time you have
realized my capabilities?!” Charles snorted
as he steered her toward the elevator with
his arms around her. After hressing the
his arms around her. After pressing the
button to the intended floor, he regarded her from top to bottom intently. You didn’t come home after
leaving last night. Where
did you go without even bringing your
bag?” He interrogated, “Did you go out and have a fling with some random stranger?”
it was only after hearing his words that
she recalled the shock from this morning’s
scene and she suddenly had a guilty
conscience.
“I was feeling unwell last night, but I
noticed that you guys were having fun sol left earlier without disrupting you guys.”
Sonia lied without a change in demeanor
and changed the topic soon after that.
“What did the reporters mean by an audio recording?”
Charles furrowed his brow as he took out
his cell phone while scolding under his breath, “Someone installed this in the
room last night.” Then, he clicked on the
recording and played it for her.
The audio recording was taken in the room
last night during the moment when he had
teasingly provoked Sonia. In the end, she
had ended up explaining the situation to
Rebecca, but some parts of the recording had been intentionally edited to include
explicit noises of men and women. It
would have elicited a strong response in
those who heard the recording.
“That person is rather dedicated to ruining
my reputation by going through so much
effort to edit the recording!” Sonia
sneered. “Can you figure out who the
culorit is hy noinn through the security
culprit is by going through the security cameras?”
“I can’t seem to figure that out. It’s arduous.” Charles shook his head with a sigh. “There were a
few waiters who
entered the room last night, but I don’t
know which one of them made the move.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI’ve interrogated each of them with no conclusive outcome from that.”
Sonia was well aware of the complexity of
the situation and her face subsequently
turned quite solemn. However, she had a
clear suspect in mind as to who the
mastermind of this situation was-Tina.
Sonia had recently undergone the divorce
proceedings with Toby. Moreover, she
didn’t have that many acquaintances in her
current social circle and she couldn’t recall
offending anyone al all.
Tina was the only one who seemed to be
at odds with her. Besides, Charles had also
rudely humiliated Tina in the room last
night, which gave Tina the motive to lake
revenge against her. However, there was
no concrete evidence to prove that Tina
was the one behind all this.
While Sonia was lost in her thoughts, he
kept a close eye on her and didn’t miss the
look on her face. He shrewdly sensed that
something was wrong. “Be honest: did you
have a casual fling last night?!”
“I told you I didn’ti” She rolled her eyes at
him and tried hard to keep calm. “I
wouldn’t be able to find someone as
handsome as you anyway!”
Charles was michmentarily sunned by her words. Then, he studied her from top to
bottom while straking his chin and clicking
his longue. “I’m quite keen to provide you comfort with my flesh but ihen again, Sonia, you’re
emaciated and just not my type. I peter someone more voluptuous with huge breasts and a perky buti.”
Meanwhile, Sonia was completely at a loss
for words.
She strode out immediately as soon as the
elevator doors opened, “Go back to your
office if you have nothing else to do! I don’t
need your help!”
“Babe, you’re so heartless.” He trailed after
her and wrapped his arms around her
shoulders
shoulders
“If it wasn’t for me earlier, you would have been thrown off your feet by the questions
from the reporters! Now that you have no
use for me, are you just going to discard
me like that?! You’re my girlfriend! Even if
there was a crisis at my office, you would still take priority over that!”
Daphne had just placed some documents
in Sonia’s office and she walked out in
time to catch Charles’ Words. Upon
noticing his arms around Sonia, a shocked
Daphne almost fell into speechlessness
when she saw his affectionate manner
toward Sonia. “President Reed, the two of
you… Are the two of you in a relationship?”
