“Huh?” Sonia was surprised to hear what the elderly said.
What did I do?
The lady in the elevator smiled again. “It's normal for young couples to quarrel, but you shouldn’t go too far. I think this young man is very sincere in admitting his mistake. He bought you breakfast, so you should forgive him. It’s hard to find men like him these days. If you don’t cherish him, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”
“Wait. What? I—”
Ding! The elevator had reached the designated floor.
The lady patted Sonia on the shoulder and cut her off. “Girl, think about what I said.”
After finishing speaking, the lady looked at Toby again. “And you, young man, don't make your girlfriend angry anymore. It's fate that brought you together, and you have to cherish it.”
“Yes. I will. Thank you so much.” Toby nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
He knew very well that he didn't cherish Sonia in the past, but he would put her first in the future.
Seeing that Toby had listened to her words, the lady took the arm of the man next to her and walked out of the elevator with a smile.
Sonia, on the other hand, didn't walk out as she still hadn’t reached her floor.
She grabbed her hair and said irritably, “What the hell is wrong with you, Toby Fuller? How thick-skinned can you be? When the lady took us as a couple, how dare you admit it!”
Toby first pressed the close button for the elevator doors. “I just didn’t want the old couple to be embarrassed if they found out they made a mistake.”
“Bullsh*t!” Sonia glared at him. “You obviously have ulterior motives.”
Toby raised his eyebrows and acquiesced.
Sonia rubbed her brows and finally calmed down a little. “Okay, I will let it go this time, but if there is another time, Toby, I won’t let you off so easily.”
She looked at him coldly.
Toby felt a shot of pain in his heart. He lowered his eyelids to cover the sadness in his eyes and said, “Okay. Then this breakfast—” “I don’t want it.” Sonia faintly spat out these words before waking out of the elevator without a backward glance, then she walked to the place where she had parked.
Toby also followed her with the breakfast bag in his hand.
Sonia naturally heard the footsteps behind her and ignored it while taking out the car key from her bag. Then, she unlocked her car and opened the door before she got in and left quickly.
Meanwhile, Toby could only stand in place and watch her leave while pursing his thin lips slightly in disappointment.
Tom, who came to pick Toby up, was not far away from the scene and witnessed everything unfold before him. Feeling bad for his boss, he could only shake his head and heave a heavy sigh.
It seems that President Fuller still has a long way to go in his pursuit of his wife!
In Paradigm Co.
Sonia was busy processing the mountain of documents when Daphne knocked on the door and came in. “President Reed, someone from Stone Incorporated is here to see you.”
“Stone Incorporated?” Sonia frowned as she heard what Daphne said.
Daphne nodded in response. “Yes. He is the president of Stone Incorporated.”
“It's about Cynthia, huh?” Sonia hooked her lips.
“Yes, he mentioned that he is here to apologize to you on behalf of Cynthia Stone,” Daphne
replied.
Sonia snorted, “He didn't even bring any gifts for the apology. I’m sure this apology is not sincere at all, just like last time.”
The last time, it was Carmen Fletcher who had blocked her at the door of the court, saying that she wanted to apologize to her. She begged her to let Cynthia go, but she didn’t bring any gifts with her as well.
Of course, she was not greedy for the gifts. That being said, if one was here to apologize but didn’t even bear a gift, it would only show that they were insincere.
And this time, it was the same with Oliver Stone.
She couldn’t help but be amazed at how similar the Stone couple were—they were indeed a couple. Maybe Carmen even knew that Sonia would not let Cynthia off this easily, so she specially asked Oliver to come to her in person.
But did she really think that I would just let Cynthia go Just because Chairman Stone dropped by? Oh, dream on! I don’t even care about Titus Gray, let alone the Stone family, who can’t even come close to comparing with Paradigm!
“President Reed, do you want to meet him?” Daphne looked at Sonia and asked.
