Chapter 1225

Sonia smiled gently at the young lady. “Of course. In fact, I will always support any one of you as long as you’re working hard for your future. Therefore, I want you to know that there is nothing you should worry about besides working toward your goal.”

Rita was touched upon hearing Sonia’s words. She then wrapped her arms around the document and nodded with a bashful smile on her face. “Loud and clear, President Reed. You’re such a kind employer.”

“Thanks for the endorsement. Is there anything else?” Sonia was happy to hear her subordinate’s compliment.

“Actually… yes. The departmental managers wanted me to ask you and see if you’re done with the document they submitted earlier so they can proceed further.”

Sonia’s smile immediately stiffened when she heard Rita’s words. The next second, she quickly shifted her gaze back to the document she was reading while awkwardly glimpsing the pile of files beside her. Oh my god! This is awkward. She then looked at Rita with a brittle smile. “Nope, I’m not done here. I wasn’t in the right state of mind earlier, so I’m going to need more time. Please tell the departmental managers that I’ll have the documents sent to them in an hour.” In response, Rita smiled and nodded without asking Sonia why she was distracted before she excused herself.

As soon as Rita left, Sonia heaved a sigh of relief and leaned back on her chair, fixing her eyes on the ceiling. Now, pulling a prank on Toby is one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made today. If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have been bothered by the thought that Toby might be mad. It’s taken a toll on my productivity. I guess that’s why we shouldn’t do anything against our conscience because what goes around comes around.

At the thought of that, Sonia smiled helplessly and reached for her cell phone to send Toby a text message in an attempt to sound him out and see whether he was furious. However, instead of sending him a text message, she sent him an emoji and spent the next few moments staring at her phone, her heart beating like a jackhammer.
