Chapter 550


    “I see.” Sonia nodded before she smiled. “Alright, then. I won’t take up any more of your time from


    work.”


    “Okay,” Daphne quickly replied before she headed out of the door.


    As she stared at Daphne’s retreating figure, Sonia couldn’t tell whether she was hallucinating or if


    there was indeed something odd with Daphne’s walking. Nevertheless, she figured that it was


    probably because Daphne wore a new pair of high heels and wasn’t used to it, so she didn’t ponder


    much about it and continued working.


    On the other hand, Daphne couldn’t calm down at all even though she had just left Sonia’s office.


    After she closed the door to Sonia’s office, she leaned against the door and slowly slid down into a


    squat before cing her head in between her knees. Such a position had rendered Daphne looking


    really helpless then.


    Up until this moment, she still felt that what happened two days ago was like a dream. All Daphne


    had done was follow Sonia’s order to keep an eye on Charles, so how did Daphne end up doing


    that kind of thing with him? She felt her heart being filled with a mixture of emotions when the


    thought of what had happened the other day made her happy and hurt at the same time.


    Daphne was happy that she finally had the man whom she loved and even managed to do the most


    intimate thing that a couple could ever do with him. As a result, it even allowed her to be as


    physically close to him as possible.


    However, she was hurt when he sobered up and coldly warned her to forget about what had


    ured between them and acted as if nothing ever happened. Most importantly, she wasn’t even


    allowed to inform Sonia about it.


    When Daphne recalled Charles’ cold gaze, she was experiencing shortness of breath. She felt like


    someone was slicing her heart and her face paled as if she was in deep pain.


    At this moment, another assistant who was about to enter Sonia’s office noticed Daphne crouching


    down in front of Sonia’s office and asked in a stunned manner, “Miss Daphne, why are you


    squatting here?”


    It was enough to cause Daphne’s gaze to immediately waver before she looked up and forced a


    smile. “I don’t feel well; that’s why I decided to squat for a little while.”


    “You’re not feeling well?” The assistant stared at Daphne’s face and noticed that she was


    completely pale before he offered in a worried tone, “Let me bring you to the infirmary.”


    Then, the assistant reached out to help Daphne up.


    However, Daphne rejected the offer as she used the wall as leverage to rise to her feet. “It’s fine. I’m


    much better now, so I don’t think that I’ll need to go to the infirmary. Didn’t you say that you wanted


    to see President Reed? Go on, then. You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll return to my office now.”


    Then, she straightened her clothes before heading back to the secretary department while walking


    in an odd manner.


    While watching Daphne leave, the assistant couldn’t help but feel that Daphne’s behavior was


    extremely peculiar. Still, he didn’t think much about it and shrugged before entering Sonia’s office.


    “President Reed, I’m here to collect the documents from you.” He walked toward Sonia and greeted


    while Sonia opened her drawer and produced a document. Then, she said, “Here. Remember to


    archive it once you have finished using it.”


    “Of course, President Reed,” the assistant replied with a smile.


    It was right after that when Sonia’s red lips opened a little. However, her phone suddenly rang when


    she wanted to say something. Upon seeing the caller ID, she grinned before dismissing the


    assistant. “You may leave now.”

    “Alright.” He nodded before leaving.


    Then, Sonia answered the call and ced the phone next to her ear. “Hey, Mrs.


    Lane.”


    “Hey, Sonny. I hope I''m not disturbing you from your work.” Grace’s gentle voice rang out from the


    other end of the call while Sonia grinned and shook her head. “Of course not.”


    “That’s good.” Grace sighed in relief.


    At this moment, a curious Sonia asked, “Mrs. Lane, is there a reason why you’re calling me at this


    hour?”


    It was at that moment when Mrs. Lane, who was on the other end of the call, looked at the room


    upstairs and sighed. “Something has happened. Can youe out for a while, Sonny? I have


    something to discuss with you.” “Sure, but may I know what you would like to talk about?”


    Grace chuckled. “You’ll know when the timees.”


    “I see. Sure.” Sonia nodded in agreement and wasn’t upset that she didn’t receive an answer from


    Grace.


    “Let’s meet at Prince Cafe in an hour,” Grace responded before sending Sonia the address to the


    cafe.


    Sonia agreed with a smile. “Sure, Mrs. Lane.”


    After the call ended, she kept her phone aside as her finger tapped on her desk before her smile


    was reced with a conflicted look. Despite Grace evading her question, Sonia could already guess


    what the woman wanted to talk about. It was probably about Charles.


    Since they had to discuss this sooner orter, Sonia had no choice but to agree to meet up with


    Grace. Then, she massaged her temples before getting up from her seat to grab her purse and


    leave.


    Half an hourter, Sonia arrived at the cafe that Grace told her about. Since Sonia had arrived half


    an hour earlier than their agreed time, Grace wasn’t here yet. Under the guidance of the waitress,


    Sonia was led to a seat near the window before she ordered two cups of coffee and waited for


    Grace’s arrival while sipping on her own coffee. After waiting for a while, she suddenly heard a


    familiar voice from her back.


    It was Taylor!


    Sonia ced her coffee down before she turned. She saw at a booth about three tables away from


    her, Taylor was seated with her back facing Sonia while speaking to another person on her phone.


    “What are you talking about, Mom? You want to check whether your kidney ispatible with


    Dad’s?” Taylor’s volume suddenly increased.


    Upon hearing that, Sonia couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. Julia Ramsay actually wants to


    check whether her kidney ispatible with Titus Gray ? What a loving


    couple, I suppose.


    “Mom, do I have to do it as well?” An anxious Taylor bit her lips before asking.


    After hearing Julia’s answer on the other end of the call, relief appeared on her face. “Is that so?


    Alright, I’lle back in a bit... Yes... Goodbye!”


    While eavesdropping on Taylor’s conversation, Sonia sipped her coffee before a sneer appeared on


    her face. From the conversation alone, it was clear that Taylor didn’t want to be an organ donor for


    Titus. If it weren’t so, she wouldn’t have asked Julia about it in such an anxious manner.


    After that, Julia probably told Taylor that she didn’t have to do so, which resulted in Taylor sighing in


    relief. From this action of hers, it was obvious that Taylor didn’t want to sacrifice herself and donate


    her kidney to Titus.


    Even though there was nothing wrong with her decision, the Gray couple was probably


    disappointed by it. No child would be patient enough to take care of their sick parents for a long


    time.


    However, if Titus really reached the point of undergoing a kidney transnt, he might really ask


    Taylor to go for the procedure for his sake. By then, if she was unwilling to do so, chaos would really


    ur within the Gray Family.


    While Sonia pondered to herself, there was suddenly a new figure next to her. Taylor’s gaze met


    Sonia’s lowered head before shock appeared on the former’s face. “Miss Reed?”


    Oh no! She has noticed me! Sonia ced her cup of coffee down on the table before she looked up


    with a nonchnt look.


    “Miss Gray.”


    “What a coincidence for me to run into you at this cafe as well.” Taylor crossed her arms before she


    took the seat in front of Sonia.


    Sonia was displeased upon saying that. “It’s really lovely to be able to meet here, Miss Gray.”


    Taylor could sense Sonia’s obvious displeasure. However, instead of being exasperated, Taylor


    smiled. “I just wanted to talk to you for a while before I leave. I hope that I’m not stopping you from


    enjoying your coffee.”


    “What is it that you want to talk about?” Sonia leaned backward and stared at Taylor before asking


    coldly.


    Nheless, Taylor pushed her beautifully styled hair before answering, “I just wanted to say that


    I’m sure you are aware that Tina isn’t dead, right, Miss Reed?”


    Sonia nodded. “Yeah, what about it?”


    “My parents are also aware of it.” Taylor’s expression twisted in an ugly manner. “My father has


    reacted well to it, but my mother really wants Tina back and I’ll never allow Tina to ever return again.


    So, how about this, Miss Reed? Why don’t we work together?”


    “Work together with you?” Sonia narrowed her eyes.


    Then, Taylor nodded. “That’s right. Let’s work together to locate Tina. I’m sure you hate Tina too,


    don’t you, Miss Reed? After all, she has tried to murder you on so many asions before. Why


    don’t we look for her together and subdue her forever?”
