Chapter 909

Chapter 909 A Lavish Gift Postpartum recovery wasn’t just for women who had given birth. Those who didn’t get to give birth to their baby––had a miscarriage or abortion, could do so as well. In fact, they were encouraged to do so as it was beneficial for their body’s recovery.

However, Daphne shook her head and rejected Sonia. “It’s fine, President Reed. I don’t need that. I grew up in a different culture from yours, and people in our culture generally don’t believe in postpartum recovery, so I’m not planning to do that as well. Like I’ve said, I’m afraid that I might get lazy after taking a break for a few days because I might not be able to get used to the high intensity work-life after I return, so a month’s break is definitely not going to do. If that’s the case, I don’t think I can carry on with my job anymore.”

After saying what she wanted, she chuckled.

However, Sonia frowned. “Is your job more important than your body? Daphne, I know that you’re a career-minded woman, but you can’t just disregard your health because of your job. I know that going through a postpartum recovery is not prevalent in your culture, but it must have its reason for being so well-practiced here. I’m doing this for your own good. If you return to work right after your operation, you won’t be able to continue working if your body gives in on you.”

Daphne went quiet and didn’t say anything because she knew that Sonia was only suggesting she go through a postpartum recovery for her own good.

Truthfully, she wasn’t against doing so, but she was just afraid that she might feel uncomfortable during that period, and it would remind her that she just aborted her baby.

Daphne was afraid that she might start thinking of Charles following that and start regretting getting an abortion.

If I keep thinking about the baby, I’ll definitely start regretting my actions...

The reason why she didn’t want to go through postpartum recovery was that she wanted to use her busy job to numb and distract herself from the uncomfortable feeling of her body so that she wouldn’t think about the baby or Charles.

However, she couldn’t say that because she didn’t want Sonia to know about it.

If Sonia knew, she would definitely think that Daphne was trying to use her job to harm herself.

Noticing that Daphne had her head hung low without saying anything, Sonia sighed. “Just listen to me. Rest at home after your operation, and don’t come to work before the one-month mark. Even if you come, I’ll get someone to send you home, is that clear?” she said with a stern voice.

Right then, Daphne’s mouth moved a little. It seemed like she still wanted to argue against Sonia, but Sonia immediately glared at her. “Alright. That’s enough. I’ve made my decision, and you’re not allowed to argue against me. I’ll visit you when I’m free, and I’ll be pissed if I find out that you’re not resting at home.”

Daphne was taken aback by Sonia’s stern expression before she chuckled. “President Reed, seriously... Fine, I get it. Thank you for worrying about me. I’ll make sure to rest well.”

I guess I’m really lucky to have such a nice boss, She thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Sonia’s facial expression softened. “That’s good to know. Is anyone accompanying you for the operation tomorrow?”

“Yes. My friend will be with me,” Daphne replied.

Upon hearing that, Sonia was put at ease. “I’m relieved to know that someone will be accompanying you. I’ll pay you a visit at the hospital later on.”

“Alright,” Daphne agreed.

After that, Sonia reached out for the documents that Daphne placed on her desk previously. “It’s settled. You may leave now if there’s nothing else.

Get off work earlier today so that you can prepare for tomorrow.”

“Alright. Thank you, President Reed.” Daphne bowed a little before leaving the office.

After Daphne left, Sonia massaged her temples before grabbing a pen from her pen holder and started going through the documents.

When she was halfway done, the landline on her desk suddenly rang.

She grabbed the receiver and held it between her shoulder and her head before saying while signing the documents, “This is the president’s office.

May I know who is on the line?”

“President Reed,” A polite voice of a woman rang out. “This is the reception calling. Someone from Fuller Group came over with a lot of bags claiming that they are gifts that President Fuller prepared for the elders. He wants you to check them to see if they’re suitable, or if you want them to prepare more.”

Upon hearing that, Sonia paused for a moment before quickly coming back to her senses.

I guess those are gifts that Toby prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Lane, huh? I thought that he would bring them over to the Lane Residence tonight after his preparation, but I didn’t expect him to send them over for me to check because he’s afraid that they might not be enough.

Grinning, Sonia replied, “I see. Please send someone to bring them up for me.”

“Alright, President Reed,” the receptionist replied.

Then, Sonia placed the receiver back on the landline and continued working.

About ten minutes later, someone knocked at her office door.

After getting Sonia’s permission to enter, two security guards came in with bags of gifts. Thereafter, Sonia instructed them to place the gifts on the couch of her lounge. “Be careful. Don’t knock them over.”

“Don’t worry, President Reed.” The security guards assured her while moving the gifts, and Sonia gave them two bottles of water after they were done. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“You’re welcome, President Reed.” The security guards were surprised by her gesture and quickly motioned around with their hands as they were afraid of accepting her goodwill.

They only reached out for the water bottles after Sonia demanded them to take it, and she sent them down after that.

The office became quiet once again.

Sonia walked over to the gift bags and noticed that all of them looked exquisite. It was obvious that the gifts in these gift bags were extremely expensive.

Opening every single one of the gift bags, she found a lot of wine and makeup products.

Then, she started separating the gifts for Grace and Curtis before going through them.

Toby got Curtis a few bottles of estate-bottled wine.

Although Sonia didn’t know much about wine, she knew the price of an estate-bottled wine.

One bottle of these wines was extremely expensive, and some of them couldn’t even be bought just with money. Only those that fulfilled the requirements of having money and a high social background were able to get their hands on an estate-bottled wine.

Thus, having a bottle of estate-bottled wine was enough for one to brag around, not to mention a few bottles of them.

Toby was extremely generous for gifting Curtis five bottles of estate-bottled wine from different estates as if he was stamp-collecting.

I bet Mr. Lane would be extremely delighted when he sees these.

Chapter 1211 Ending Sonia grinned before placing the wine bottles at a side carefully. Then, she started going through Grace’s gifts.

After opening all of her gift bags, Sonia realized that Toby had prepared not just makeup products but perfumes, handbags, scarfs, shoes, and other accessories as well.

This is literally a full gift collection of women’s favorite items. Although everything added here is not as expensive as those few bottles of wine, Mrs.

Lane probably wouldn’t mind since the things that she likes are different from what Mr. Lane likes.

She was guessing that Grace would be delighted to see these gifts just like Curtis.

Following that, Sonia repackaged the gifts so that they wouldn’t look like they had been opened before massaging her temples and sighing. “He has really outdone himself this time.”

It is enough to prepare a gift for each of them since we’re only going out for dinner. I can’t believe he actually prepared so many gifts. Does he want them to get a stroke from being too happy or something?

At the thought of that, Sonia’s phone that was on her desk started ringing.

Immediately, she stopped what she was doing and headed to her desk. When she glanced at her phone and saw Toby’s name on the caller ID, she smirked.
