Chapter 1240


    Only did Grayson look at Sonia when he heard her words. Then, he looked at the teacup in front of


    him, but he then frowned as he looked at the tea inside it. "What variety of tea is this?" he asked.


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Lore. I won''t serve you any premium tea. This is just a normal cup of green tea."


    Sonia crossed her legs and smiled.


    When Grayson heard her words, he had a grim expression. "A normal cup of green tea? Is this how


    Paradigm Co. treats their guests?"


    While listening to his words, Sonia sipped her tea and said faintly, "I can''t do anything about this. My


    company is small, and I can''t even change the furniture that I have been using for twenty years. What


    makes you think I can serve you premium tea? A normal cup of tea is all I can do for you, so bear with


    it. After all, I still see you as a guest. Otherwise, I would''ve simply handed you a cup of water." As she


    spoke, she emphasized the twenty years of furnishing.


    Although Grayson didn''t have any outstanding abilities in business, he was not a fool. When he heard


    her words, he knew that the receptionist had told her about what he said in the elevator. Thus, Sonia


    was using this as a chance to treat him offhandedly by serving him an average cup of tea. With that


    thought in mind, he was fuming in anger.


    "Do you even serve just water?" Grayson squinted his eyes at her. "Aren''t you Toby''s girlfriend?


    Considering the years that you have been with him, I don''t believe that you haven''t taken anything from


    him. Does he dislike you? Is that why he isn''t even willing to buy you premium tea brands? That''s


    probably why yourpany only has this kind of cheap stuff."


    Sonia didn''t get mad and was still grinning when she heard his remarks. "You must have


    underestimated me, Mr. Lore. Toby did give me a lot of good stuff, including premium tea. However, I


    don''t want to serve it to you. I only serve good tea to people who are polite and respectful, not some


    arrogant man like you. People like you should only be amodated with regr tea. It''s even


    ridiculous that you said Toby dislikes me. If so, he wouldn''t have disassociated himself from the Lore


    Family. Don''t you think so?"


    "You…" Grayson was furious at her words that he couldn''t even make out a sentence.


    ording to her words, she''s implying that my family isn''t worth drinking premium tea and can only be


    served cheap, regr tea. Not only that, she''s also boasting about the fact that Toby chose her over


    my family. This is just… just… As Grayson thought about it, he was breathing heavily from frustration.


    At that moment, he couldn''t think of anything to criticize Sonia.


    Seeing that he was furious to this point, Sonia furrowed her eyebrows as she was afraid he wouldn''t be


    able to handle his emotions. She restrained herself and put down the cup, asking coldly, "Alright, Mr.


    Lore. I was only joking, so please excuse me for it. After all, you do know that we youngsters like to


    joke about everything. I''m sure you don''t mind it, do you?" She smiled at him.


    When he heard her words, Grayson was even more furious. There was nothing else he could say since


    she had put it that way. He couldn''t possibly say that he didn''t think it was a joke, for it would make him


    seem like a killjoy. However, he couldn''t let himself agree with her words either as he would need to


    endure it. Moreover, he knew that she was not joking. She was clearly provoking him and being


    boastful about it!


    When Sonia saw Grayson shaking from anger, she sighed inwardly. To think that such an impatient


    man is the boss of apany. He is even worse than a newbie like me.


    A hint of mockery shed across her eyes as she thought about it. "Enough with all the talking now, Mr.


    Lore. Why don''t we talk about business? If I remember clearly, there aren''t any intersections between


    your family and me. Is there a reason for your visit today?" she asked.


    As Grayson''s assistant soothed him, he slowly calmed down and regained hisposure, but he still


    had a grim expression. He looked at her coldly and said, "I don''t think we have to beat around the


    bushes, Sonia. I believe that you know why I am here."


    "I''m sorry, but I don''t have a clue. Why don''t you just say it? I''m not fond of guessing things." Sonia


    smiled, implying that she wanted him to say for himself rather than admit she knew what exactly


    happened.


    When Grayson heard it, he was furious as he didn''t expect her to be such a cunning person.


    He was here to apologize to her, but he didn''t want to take the initiative and say it. After all, he would


    not be in control of the situation if he were to say it first. Initially, he was nning to let Sonia ask about


    it. That way, it would be easier for him to express his words. However, his n was now in vain since


    Sonia insisted on him saying it. If it weren''t for Harry''s orders, Grayson believed he would have just left


    on the spot. After all, he had never been in such a situation with any youngsters other than Toby.


    Seeing how Grayson''s expression changed, Sonia shrugged and said, "Since you are not going to say


    anything, I guess this will be the end of our conversation. You can alwayse to me when you''ve


    carefully thought about what you want to say. However, I can''t promise that I will still have the time for


    you."


    As soon as she finished her words, she stood up and shouted in the direction of the door. "Security,


    take him away!"


    "Wait!" Grayson didn''t expect her to kick him out without saying anything. He quickly stood up and


    stopped her. "There''s no need to kick me out now, Miss Reed. I''ll say it, okay?"


    When Sonia heard his words, a glint shed across her eyes as she smiled. "I''m listening, Mr. Lore.


    Please have a seat." Then, she motioned for him to have a seat.


    "I didn''t expect you to be such a difficult person, Miss Reed." He looked at her gloomily as he sat down.


    Sonia flipped her hair and sat back down. "You tter me, Mr. Lore. We should always have some


    tricks up our sleeves when doing business, right? Now, please begin your speech, Mr. Lore. I''ll give you


    thirty minutes to say it, for I''m going to have lunch afterward." She looked at her watch and motioned


    him to start talking.


    However, her gesture was as if she was signaling him to start putting on a show rather than speaking.


    She is treating me like a clown! he thought.


    Although Grayson was trembling in rage, he couldn''t do anything. So, he took a deep breath to surpass


    his anger and said slowly, "Miss Reed, I''m here to apologize to you. I''m sorry that my daughter,


    Lte, caused you trouble yesterday. As such, I''m sorry for not educating her well enough. Please


    excuse her for her behavior, Miss Reed."


    The smile on Sonia''s face turned into a sneer as she heard his words. "You are here to apologize on


    Lte''s behalf," she said. Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Yes," he replied.


    Then, Sonia shifted in her seat. Her sneer was even more visible, and her eyes were icy cold as she


    spoke. "However, with all due respect, this is the first time I have seen such an apology."


    As Grayson heard her words, the expression on his face stiffened. "What do you mean by this, Miss


    Reed?"


    "Isn''t it obvious?" Sonia shrugged. "When people apologize, they bring the instigator over and some


    apology gifts. Not only that, they are typically well-mannered as they bow and ask for forgiveness.


    However, I don''t see that in you, Mr. Lore."
