Chapter 824

Chapter 824 Lovey-Dovey Despite Toby’s silence, he couldn’t agree more with Zane’s words. Well, we’re all just puppets and toys to our own fate, aren’t we? Then, he rubbed his forehead and asked Zane with a tired look on his face, “Well, do you think I should tell Sonia about her actual identity?”

“Unless I want to see her suffer, I think you should tell her the truth.” Zane bitterly shook his head.

“In that case, you ought to keep your lips sealed as well. After all, we both don’t want her to know anything more than she should,” said Toby as he grunted coldly.

“Don’t worry, I know what I must do.” Zane waved his hand without saying a single word more.

Since Toby was a man of a few words himself, the subsequent moments went on without a response from either of them. Soon, the atmosphere in the office was filled with an oppressive silence.

It was only a few moments later that Zane started speaking with a slightly confused expression on his face. He asked, “Toby, I know that you’re holding out on Sonia about her identity for her own good, but some secrets can never be buried forever. Have you ever thought about what would happen if she finds out about it one day? By then, don’t you think she is going to be so mad at you knowing that you kept her in the dark all this while?”

Toby fiddled with his fingers for a while before he replied, “She will certainly blame me for it, but I believe she will come to understand why I did it sooner or later. After all, she is smart, and I trust she knows what to do.”

“I hope you’re right.” Zane shrugged his shoulders.

Then, Toby picked up the cup and guzzled down the coffee in it. “Well, now that you know everything you’ve wanted to know, is there anything else I can help you with?”

Zane sensed that it was Toby’s hint for him to be gone, so he curled his lips upward and smirked. “Hey, you and I are like brothers in arms, but why do I feel like I’m something disposable that you merely use and throw away? Don’t you think it’s a little too mean to treat your comrade like that?”

While Toby reacted by shooting an annoyed gaze at his friend, Zane stood up and said, “Fine, stop giving me that look, okay? You’re scaring me. I’ll get going now.”

“Tom!” Toby called out to his assistant.

Tom, who was waiting outside the door, heard his name and quickly pushed the door open before coming in. “Yes, President Fuller?”

“Please see him out.” Toby jutted his chin toward Zane.

“Sure.” Tom smiled at Zane. “This way, Mr. Coleman.”

Zane rolled his eyes. “Were you waiting outside the door all this while? Were you aware of that too, Toby? Damn, you two had this all planned seeing how ready you are to see me out of here the moment you got the chance, am I right?”

“I’m glad we’ve made ourselves clear about that, Mr. Coleman. This way, please.” Tom gazed at Zane with a smile. Well, I wouldn’t make a fuss if I were you. Otherwise, things will turn ugly.

As soon as Zane understood Toby’s implicit gesture, he pursed his lips in speechlessness and walked away with Tom.

Instantly, the office returned to its usual quiet and peaceful state. At the same time, Toby looked in the direction of where Zane had left, feeling uneasy and restless as the latter’s words reverberated in his mind.

In fact, he was somewhat worried that Sonia would blame him when she found out about the truth, but even so, he’d rather take his chances because he thought he was doing the right thing for her.

Thus, he told himself that he would not regret his decision just as a determined look flashed across his face before it disappeared.

Later that afternoon, Toby finished his work before it was time to go home and drive to Paradigm Co. By the time he arrived there, it was already 6.00PM.

However, he remained in his car and sent Sonia a text message to inform her about his arrival, but when he didn’t get a reply from her a few moments later, he began to feel a little anxious and wondered if she wasn’t replying to his messages intentionally because of the call they had earlier that morning.

As he pursed his lips, he placed his phone in his pocket and grabbed the coat lying in the front passenger seat next to him before he wrapped the scarf Sonia had made for him around his neck. After that, he stepped out of his car and made his way to Paradigm Co.’s lobby.

Soon, Toby’s appearance in Paradigm Co.’s lobby immediately stunned everyone, causing many heads to turn as they didn’t expect to see him there.

After all, Toby was the Fuller Group’s president. He was the youngest and richest man in Seafield and the whole country, not to mention the fact that he was also among the top few wealthiest men in the world.

Therefore, the employees present felt fortunate to have run into him after work, thinking that he was there to see Sonia. While everyone else was wondering about the purpose of his visit, Toby couldn’t care less about the attention that was directed at him and walked toward the front desk emotionlessly.

As Toby got closer and closer, the receptionist at the front desk felt more and more nervous. She tried to talk but struggled to do so, and she stuttered while her cheeks blushed wildly. “G-Greetings. P-President Fuller... How may I help you?”

The receptionist wasn’t inept; she was simply just too stunned to entertain Toby. After all, she hadn’t even met Sonia in person, let alone someone else even more powerful than her chairman. Nonetheless, she was still able to pull herself together and speak.

“Is Little Leaf still here?” Toby asked calmly.

“Little Leaf?” The receptionist appeared confused.

“I mean Sonia Reed.” Toby pursed his lips.

At that moment, the receptionist realized that Little Leaf was her chairman, Sonia.

None of us has ever heard about Chairman Reed’s nickname. In fact, we’ve never heard President Lane calling her that way either. Well, I guess this is a name uniquely given by President Fuller to Chairman Reed. Oh, my gosh! This is so sweet!

At the thought of that, the receptionist’s face blushed even more as she felt thrilled on the inside. After all, she was a big fan of both Toby and Sonia and had been following all kinds of news about them on the internet, but now that she got to see the man in person, her ecstasy and excitement took over her mind.

Deep down, she thought to herself that she would scream in joy if she was at the right place at the right time. Then, she told herself that she would drop a message in the group chat that was centered around Toby and Sonia to flaunt her encounter with the man and make everyone else envy her.

Oh, dear! Even the thought of that is making me so excited!

Upon taking a few breaths, the receptionist tried her best to calm down and smiled at Toby. “Chairman Reed is still in the office. There’s an urgent meeting which requires her presence, so she is probably in the meeting room with all the other directors and department heads.”

No wonder she didn’t reply to my messages. After learning the truth, Toby put his mind to ease and responded with an affirmative hum before walking toward the elevator.

Meanwhile, the receptionist, who had her eyes glued to the man, clenched her fists and celebrated in excitement. Then, she texted the group about his arrival. I mustn’t be the only single lady who feels the pain. After that, she proceeded to sign into her Facebook account and continued to show off about her encounter with Toby to the other fans.

Needless to say, Toby was unaware of what the receptionist was doing as he soon arrived outside the meeting room, and there was another front desk there. One of Sonia’s assistants was seated there; when he heard footsteps approaching, he looked up and shifted his gaze away from his monitor, only to catch sight of Toby’s face. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately rose from his seat and greeted the man by saying, “President Fuller.”

Toby glimpsed the man and replied with an affirmative hum, whereupon he shifted his gaze to the meeting room’s door. “Is the meeting still going on?”

The assistant nodded his head. “Yes, but I think they’re about to wrap things up soon. After all, Chairman Reed and the rest have been there for more than an hour. Are you here to see Chairman Reed, President Fuller?”

“Yes.” Toby nodded. “I’m here to take her home.”

Despite feeling a sting of pain in the face of Toby’s loving attitude toward Sonia, the assistant tried his best to keep a smile on his face. “Please give me a moment, President Fuller. I’ll inform Chairman Reed about your arrival at once.”

“There’s no need for that.” Toby put a hand up. “Let’s not interrupt her meeting. I’ll wait until she is done.”

Upon hearing Toby’s words, the assistant politely showed him where to sit instead of trying to change his mind. “In that case, please sit here and wait, President Fuller. I’ll get you a cup of tea.”

Toby nodded and walked toward the place where the assistant had pointed at. Then, he sat down and waited for Sonia to be done with her meeting.
