Chapter 826 Toby Looks Hilarious
Toby instinctively loosened his grip. “What’s wrong?”
At this moment, Sonia’s face was red as she whispered, “Someone’s staring at us.”
A look of realization appeared on his face.
And here I thought she didn’t want to be near me, but it looks like she just didn’t want others to see us like this.
Toby ruffled Sonia’s hair gently, after which he looked up and turned to the higher executives staring at them
before giving them an indifferent look. “The meeting has ended. Are you all not going to excuse yourselves?”
Upon hearing that, all of them caught on that they were in the way of the lovebirds, so they chuckled in
embarrassment.
“We are leaving now.”
“Yeah. Let’s not disturb President Fuller and Miss Reed any longer.”
Those who said that were employees from Sonia’s side, as they sincerely hoped for those two to be in a good
relationship.
If Sonia and Toby were in a good relationship, Paradigm Co. could always rely on Fuller Group, and these people’s
interests would be secured.
In no time, all of the higher executives hurried off the meeting room.
Nevertheless, humans were curious by nature, especially the locals.
Although all the higher executives left in a rush, they turned around to glance in Sonia and Toby’s direction after
walking a distance away.
Upon seeing them hugging each other, a few of them were satisfied, while a few others’ facial expressions soured.
Of course, Toby and Sonia, who were completely engrossed with each other, couldn’t be bothered by any of their
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreactions.
At this moment, Sonia was lying in Toby’s arms obediently as she rested her head on his shoulder. “I thought you
wouldn’t get off work so early, so I started a meeting without informing you about it. If I had known earlier, I would
have told you about it so that you didn’t have to wait for me.”
“It’s alright.” Toby ruffled her smooth hair gently. “I didn’t inform you that I’m getting off work on time because I
wanted to give you a surprise.”
“So we were both not thoughtful enough.” Sonia looked up at him while he chuckled. “Well, that’s a good thing
because it adds on to surprises occasionally.”
“You’re right.” Sonia chuckled as well.
They embraced each other for a while before heading to the elevator hand-in-hand. When they got back to Sonia’s
office, Toby let go of her hand and looked at her before asking, “Are you going to continue with your work?”
Sonia shook her head. “Nah. I did initially have some work scheduled. I was thinking I could stay a little longer to
finish my work since you were busy recently and had been working overtime and coming home late. However, now
that you’re here, I’m obviously placing you as my priority. Well, I’m going to work on these tomorrow, as they’re not
really important. Shall we go back now?”
Toby’s lips curled up as he was in a good mood. “Sure. Let’s go home together.”
“You’ll have to wait for me for a moment. I have some things to tidy up.”
“Sure.” Toby nodded while Sonia headed to her desk to pack her stuff in preparation to clock off.
Just then, Toby started trailing behind her, following her everywhere she went, as if he was a duckling.
Although Sonia found his actions funny, she didn’t stop him from doing so.
I guess I’ll let him trail behind me if he wants to. Plus, it’s kind of funny seeing a tall man like him trailing behind me.
A while later, Sonia tidied all her stuff and locked them in her drawer before she dusted her hands off.
Upon seeing that, Toby asked, “Are you done?”
She nodded. “Yes. We can leave after I grab my coat and handbag.”
“Here.” Toby took it upon himself to walk over to Sonia’s coat rack to grab her coat and her handbag.
Just then, he slung Sonia’s handbag over his shoulder before unfolding her beige coat and motioned for her to slip
her arms into her coat.
At this moment, Sonia smiled and didn’t refuse Toby’s advances to help her to get into her coat. Instead, she
slipped her arms into the sleeves and wore her coat with his help.
It’s normal for a boyfriend to help his girlfriend to wear her coat, so why should I refuse his advancement? Besides,
it’s rare for something like this to happen, and he might get upset if I reject him.
Sure enough, Toby’s mood lifted when Sonia wore her coat with his help.
While Sonia didn’t notice the man’s expression, she extended her hand toward the man after tying the belt around
her waist with a knot. “You can hand me my bag now.”
“It’s fine.” Toby pulled on the bag’s strap before he shook his head. “I’ll carry it for you.”
Sonia raised her eyebrows. “Are you sure?”
Is he actually going to carry my handbag for me?!
Toby nodded seriously. “Of course.”
Staring at the beige handbag slinging off the man’s shoulder and his good-looking suit, Sonia couldn’t help but feel
bewildered as he looked mismatched.
It was already odd to see a man carrying a woman’s handbag, not to mention a well-dressed and charismatic man
carrying a feminine handbag. Those who didn’t know who Toby was might even think that he was a twisted pervert.
Right then, Sonia couldn’t help but purse her lips to avoid laughing as she looked at Toby, who was carrying her
handbag. If it weren’t for the fact that she was worried that his pride would get hurt if she started laughing, she
wouldn’t have refrained from doing so.
At that instance, Sonia was really struggling not to laugh.
“Sure. You can carry my handbag if you insist on doing so. I’ll take this chance to relax, then,” she cleared her
throat before saying and covered her mouth so that Toby couldn’t see the smile on her face.
Not noticing Sonia’s reaction, Toby pushed the strap of the handbag on his shoulder before humming in
acknowledgment. “Let’s go.”
“Alright.” Sonia lowered her gaze to mask the smile in her eyes.
Then, the two of them left the office, one after another.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRight after they left the office, the door to the secretaries and assistants’ office next door opened as well. Following
that, a few secretaries and assistants came out of the office along with their bags, as it was already time to get off
work.
When they noticed Sonia and Toby, all of them halted before greeting them. “Miss Reed, President Fuller.”
While Toby didn’t react to them, Sonia smiled gently at them. “Hey guys, do get home safely.”
“Alright, Miss Reed,” they nodded before replying with a smile.
Just then, Sonia looked away and held onto Toby’s arm before they started heading toward the elevator while the
others stared at their retreating figures in awe.
Suddenly, one of the assistants’ eyes widened before their mouth fell open in disbelief when they noticed Toby
carrying a woman’s handbag. “Look at that.”
“What?” the person next to them asked in confusion.
The assistant pointed to Toby’s left. “Look at that. President Fuller is carrying a woman’s handbag. That must be
Miss Reed’s.”
Surely, all of them noticed the beige handbag when they looked in the direction that the assistant pointed.
Upon seeing the bag and staring at Toby’s large build as well as the suit that he was wearing, they glanced at each
other before breaking into laughter at the same time.
“Oh my goodness! President Fuller looks hilarious carrying that tiny handbag!”
“I know, right? It doesn’t fit his image at all.”
“Still, that’s much a caring move. Although knowing that others might make fun of him, he still helps Miss Reed to
carry her handbag. Looks like President Fuller really loves Miss Reed. I’m so jealous of her.”
“Who isn’t, though?”
The few secretaries and assistants gathered around and exclaimed among each other, staring in the direction
where Sonia and Toby left together.
