Chapter 1151

If that was the case, then he'd tell her to dream on.

He never reciprocated her feelings, so no matter what she did, he would never let her have her way even if she used the child in her belly to threaten him.

The kind of people he hated most were those who threatened him.

Right then, Charles couldn't not think that Daphne was scheming something using her pregnancy.

He wasn't entirely to blame, for Daphne's pregnancy came way too coincidentally.

She affirmed that she had taken contraceptives, so why would there be a bun in the oven when she did?

Thus, he could only assume she didn't take the contraceptives and lied to him so that he wouldn't suspect a thing. That way, she'd have plenty of time to get pregnant without worry.

Once she managed to get pregnant, she'd be able to use the child in her belly to hold him accountable for her.

Yes, that must be it.

Charles grew more certain the more he thought about it, not changing the notion even when he knew Daphne had already made an abortion appointment.

Something must be wrong with the child for her to abort it, or why would she do so when she wanted to use the child to move up the ladder?

However, no matter the circumstances, he would make her sorry when she dared lie to him, hide her pregnancy from him, and even selfishly drop the baby.

To think he would one day let a woman wrap him around her little finger. I swear I won't be Charles Lane if I don't retaliate.

"Daphne Robinson!" Charles snarled through gnashed teeth as he glared grimly at the road ahead like Daphne was standing right there. His voice was filled with nothing but anger and hatred as though he wanted to mangle her.

There was desperation he didn't even realize interwoven in his voice.

Desperate for what, exactly? Perhaps only he knew.

However, all of that was oblivious to Sonia at the moment, for she went back to her long and dull work after seeing Charles away.

It wasn't until Toby called in the afternoon that she put the pen down, stretched, and relaxed that she answered it with a smile. "Hello?"

Her voice was kittenish and laced with a hint of fatigue, causing Toby to frown as he sat in the car. "Do you have a lot of work to do?”

"Not really. Why do you ask?" she asked with a smile while curling up in the chair.

Toby had parked his car on the side of the road beneath Paradigm Tower, and he rolled the window down and looked toward a window on the top floor of the building. Behind it happened to be Sonia's office.

"You sounded tired," he explained. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

She smiled in response. "Do I? Well, I am a little. I have to look at more and more papers now, and it has only been months since I joined in the first place. With more and more papers to look at, the more strenuous it is for me to go through them. After all, there are a lot of things that I still don't know. I even have to find out what a technical term means whenever I encounter them, or I won't know what the paper is talking about as a whole. Imagine the consequences I'll have to bear if I sign it blindly. I'd sometimes encounter some papers that, although I understand, I don't know the actual situation. I'll then have to call the guys for verification before I can sign the papers assuredly. Hence, I'd end up woozy at the end of the day. I'm not just tired physically but mentally as well."

"It's normal that you don't know a lot of things when you never systematically learned how to manage a company. You've moved up the position very suddenly, after all. You can only grasp some skills while exploring during work. Simply put, you won't be able to learn everything at all like this," said Toby as he rested his hand on the window while tapping it.

"Yeah," Sonia affirmed. "But as a newbie, I still haven't made a mistake after looking through so many papers. This proves that I actually have talent in business, doesn't it?"

"Of course." Toby acknowledged her talent without hesitation, making her giggle with pursed lips, feeling joyous.

Toby smiled upon hearing her laughter as well. "But you can't go on like this forever. It's still too slow if you learn and explore by yourself from practical work. You won't be able to catch up when Paradigm grows stronger when you don't have basic professional knowledge."

"I know, but..."

"What do you say to studying abroad after the holidays?" Toby interrupted her with his suggestion.

The suggestion stumped Sonia so much that she straightened her back subconsciously. "What did you say? Study abroad?"

"You heard me. You have to study professional knowledge in a college to make up for your lack of groundwork. Only then can you manage Paradigm with ease in the future."

"I know I should further my studies, but what school should I go to, and how do I get into one?" She scratched her head glumly.

This was where she hesitated.

Toby chuckled under his breath at that. "You don't have to worry about that. I will recommend a college that suits you best. As for how to enter, you can rest entirely assured. I—"

"Stop!" Sonia hurriedly interjected as she gestured a stop, looking grave. "Don't tell me you want to help me enter a school through the back door. I won't agree to it even if you want to do it. I'd rather not go than enter through the back door. Do you know how humiliating that sounds?"

Toby knew she would certainly take it the wrong way as soon as she interrupted him, and sure enough, with the way she put it, this was a pretty big misunderstanding.

He held his forehead helplessly. However, despite the helplessness, his eyes were filled with adoration for her. "Who said I'm getting you into a college through the back door? I just wanted to tell you the college I'm recommending has a global admission next year around the early second half of the year. I have connections, and I can get you an application to the entrance exam."

It was precisely because he knew she wouldn't accept his arrangements for her to enter a school directly that he didn't even think of doing so from the beginning but rather had her prepare for an entrance exam.

Knowing her pride, this was the best arrangement.

Sure enough, Sonia calmed down after hearing his explanation, and she chuckled somewhat embarrassingly. "Is that so? Sorry, I thought..."

"Don't worry about it. I should've made it concise. Well? What do you think?" Toby asked as he propped his head up with a bent arm against the window.

Sonia bit her lip and pondered with a lowered head instead of giving him her answer immediately.

She was tempted, but furthering her studies abroad was no small issue, for she didn't know when she'd be able to return after she left and whose care she should leave Paradigm Co. with.

These were all things she needed to mull over.

Toby knew her concerns as well, so he didn't rush her for an answer but waited patiently.

It wasn't until a couple of minutes later that Sonia sighed as she rubbed her temples. "You said the school is taking in students in the second half of next year. In other words, I have less than half a year to get ready for the exam, am I right?"

"Yes." He nodded in affirmation.

At that, she bit her lip. "Will I be able to pass when I have zero basic knowledge and at such short notice?"

She didn't have the slightest confidence in herself.

However, Toby thought otherwise, and he soothed her with a chuckle. "Don't worry. Have you forgotten that you have me? I'll be your teacher for the next half a year and guide you with dedication. I'm sure that you'll inevitably pass with my guidance."

Sonia chuckled at that. "Is it me, or are you flattering yourself?"

Toby smirked in response. "Do you not have confidence in me, then?"

At that, Sonia stuck her tongue out. "How can I not have confidence in you when you have a few doctorate degrees under your belt, great President Fuller? I'm just not confident in myself. I don't even know how well my brain functions. What if I can't do it?"

"You won't. Have faith in yourself. Also, you have to and need to do it for Paradigm Co. You have to get into this college, got it?" Seriousness enveloped Toby' face at this point.
