Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36

“She is definitely something to be able to hang out with Melody Stryder.” Rebecca shot a glance at the woman next to Tina as she quietly explained, “Melody is the granddaughter of one of the ministers in Norfolk who has just retired-Mr. Stryder. If you can hang out with her, you don’t have to worry about your connections.”

Sonia had seldom mingled in society

before this, so she did not know many

people in the business circle, let alone

folks from another city. No wonder Tina

has drastically lowered her stance.

Tina’s background was nothing to a figure

like Melody

“Oh, so you’re President Fuller’s ex-wife?”

Melody shot a disdainful glance at Sonia without a slightest trace of respect at all. “Since we have all met each other, let’s have a few rounds of games together. Are you willing to join us?”

Let alone poker, Sonia did not even want to

talk to Tina

However, Sonia had learned how to read

people’s facial expressions after suffering in Jean’s hands over the years. As soon as Melody started speaking, she knew that this was not a person whom she could

cross

“Of course. The person we are waiting for is only arriving at 10:00 PM.”Sonia was

well aware that she was nothing at this

moment. Hence, she did not want to be in

a situation where she was bullied by

Melody just because she had annoyed Melody. I’m not good at poker, though. I hope you don’t mind.”

Melody merely shorted before she left in her high heels.

“Don’t worry. It’s just for passing the time.” It was only after Melody left that Tina

dared to speak. “If you really can’t play,

we’ll go easy on you.”

Tina had learned from her friends that

Sonia lost hundreds of thousands when

she played poker with Mr. King from

Dwells.

According to the waiter, Sonia was just a

beginner who could not even play poker.

I’m definitely taking my revenge for the

annor felt at the match etara in the

anger i felt at the watch store in the afternoon!

Sonia smiled. “Thanks, Miss Gray.”

While walking with Sonia to the private

room, Rebecca asked quietly, “President

Reed, are you really bad at poker? Why

didn’t you reject them? I think she thinks of

you as an enemy. What if she lays a trap for you while you are playing with them?”

“She already laid the trap when we met

earlier. Melody is obvious on Tina’s side.

Even if she lays a trap later, I have to

knowingly walk into it.”

Rebecca shot her a glance. “Oh! You are

too miserable!”

When the lour of them entered the private room, they walked to a table for poker and quickly started the game after the distribution of cards.

Rebecca did not know how to play poker, but she quickly searched for some tutorials and knew the basic rules. When

she looked at Sonia playing again, she felt

quite sorry to see the scene that she

almost wanted to take over Sonia’s place.

Upon seeing how Sonia lost to both Tina

and Rebecca for two consecutive rounds,

a striking smile appeared on Tina’s face.

“Miss Reed, do you have a tattoo around

your waist with the words ‘TF?” Tina

suddenly asked. “It’s the abbreviation of

Toby’s name, isn’t it?*

Sonia played a card, but she did not reply

to Tina

Even though Tina was also playing, her gaze was fixated on Sonia’s face. “I don’t feel comfortable that you still have a tattoo of his name on your body even after you guys have divorced. Why don’t we bet on the game? If you lose, I’ll ask the tattoo guy to immediately remove your tattoo.”

Upon hearing that, Rebecca could not stop

herself from responding, “Miss Gray, this is over the top. It’s President Reed’s freedom

to choose whatever tattoo she likes for her

body. Her card skills are quite lousy, yet

you are using this as the bet. You are

obviously bullying her.”

“Miss Reed hasn’t even started speaking,

so why are you interjecting7” Melody pouted her red lips in annoyance. “How annoying!”

Rebecca blushed in anger and wanted to

retaliate, but Sonia stopped her.

“I accept it.” Sonia smiled gently with

peace and calmness in her eyes.

“However, what would you do if you lost,

Miss Gray?”

While looking at the cards that Sonia

played, Tina replied firmly, “If I lose, I will

leave Toby as well as Seafield and I will

never return again. If you think I’m bullying

you, I can ask someone else to teach you

poker. We can start our bet once you have

learned how to play.”

“It’s fine. I think I’m pretty good at the

game. Are you really planning to have this bet with me? It’s not a joke7” Sonia asked,

Tina replied confidently. “I‘m serious.

Everyone here is our witness.”

“Alright. Then, the winner will be the one to win two out of three rounds.” With that, Sonia played a card that increased Tina’s

odds of winning

When Tina looked at the card, her smile

even looked vindictive. I’m definitely

winning this round!

The moment that the first round started

was when Rebecca knew Sonia was bound

to lose after she saw the cards that Sonia

had.

Rebecca could no longer bear to watch the

game and sighed, “I really don’t want to

See you lose. I’ll go out and take a walk.”

After leaving the private room, she headed for the public restroom. As soon as she

entered the toilet cubicle, she took a

cigarette from her bag and lit it. At this

moment, her phone rang.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m at a club watching my boss playing poker with someone else,” she responded lazily with a puff of smoke. “Why? Are you

coming over?”

“asked you to look for someone in

Seafield, yet you really think you are an

employee?”

“Stop prompting me! He deserves it! He

décorted his wife and hic children in the

beginning. Now that he’s about to die, he only remembers his son and wants to make it up to him. Then, he asked us to find that son of his! You better advise that old man to die sooner and donate all his money to charity so that those few sons of

his won’t fight to death because of this

small amount of money. My leg was almost broken by them the last time

around!”

“Rebecca, how could you talk about them in this manner? You are the bodyguard of

the Hayes’ Family. If they let you live, you

live; if they want you dead, you have to die.

How could you curse your boss to die

soon?”

Rebecca took a puff of smoke before she

unwillingly responded, “I’m sorry for saying

that. I won’t do that again.”

*The fourth young master’s men have already gone to Seaview. You better be careful.”

“Got it,” she replied, “Send the information about the Stryder Family in Norfolk to me. I’m being bullied by one of their people.”

“Rather than wasting your time with small characters like them, you better start

looking for the young master. I’ll ask my

people to send the information to your

email later. I have received news that he

had once stayed in Jordain County, When you are free, head over there and have a

look.”

“Got it, Mr. Bayes.”

Rebecca’s mood worsened after a few

minutes of the phone call. She headed out

of the washroom when she flushed the cigarette away. On her way back to the private room, she saw a tall man in the club’s black uniform with a platter in his hands while he spoke

to his colleagues.

When she saw his face, her pupils constricted.

Rebecca quickly turned around and ate two peppermint candies to get rid of the cigarette smell in her mouth. Then, she

quickly walked to him and patted his

shoulder. “You’re the mechanic?”

Zane turned around at the woman who

suddenly appeared in front of him. After he

narrowed his eyes, he quickly recalled who

she was. “And you are the pretty girl from

4S Automation who fixed the generator?”

Yeah.” She smiled. When she saw his attire, she was quite shocked. “Aren’t you a mechanic? Why are you here as the waiter? Are you that poor?”

Upon hearing that, Zane was speechless. Since when have I looked poor?

In actual fact, he lost a bet with his friends. Hence, he had to be a waiter for the day and send drinks to them.

He knew that Rebecca had gotten the wrong impression, but he was too lazy to

explain the situation. Instead, he even

added, “Yeah, I’m really poor. I have to

work three jobs a day. I’ve just started my

shift here after I finished teaching

students.”

“Oh, teachers don’t earn a lot and it’s

exhaustina!” With that. Rebecca took out a

piece of paper and whole a phone number on it. “This is my number. Just take it. I’ll recommend you to be my boss’ driver. The treatment is quite good.”

“Is that so?” Zane arched his eyebrows. “It seems like your company is rather big and your boss is wealthy?”

“Well, we’re getting by. Have you heard of

Paradigm Co.?”

“Yeah.” At this point, he felt that something

was wrong. “And your boss is?

“Sonia Reed.”

Zane looked at Rebecca with mixed

expression. “I know her. She’s the new vice

president of the company.”

“That’s right. She’s quite a nice person. If you are her driver, she will not ill-treat you.”

Rebecca did not notice anything wrong with his expression. Before she left, she even added, “I know you guys have a commission for the drinks. You can send a

few more expensive drinks to room 1288.

I’ll foot the bill later.”

When he heard that, Zane was speechless

As soon as she left, a waiter came to him

and asked, “Boss, President Reed from

Paradigm Co. is playing poker in room 1288. Do you want to take a look?”

After thinking about it, Zane asked the

waiter, “Is there another gorgeous woman

with a mole on her forehead?”

When he was at the restaurant earlier, he

When he was at the restaurant earlier, he had seen Tina speaking to Sonia

“Oh, have you been to that room?”

“Interesting.” Zane touched his lower lips in excitement. “I wonder what President Fuller’s expression would be when he hears that his ex-wife is playing poker with his current girlfriend.”
