She’s a pretty quick-witted woman! She appeared flustered just moments ago, yet it only took her a short while to calm down. Furthermore, she managed to find a reason for the missing red mole in less than ten seconds. Her reason makes sense, and it didn’t evoke any further questions from Julia’s end.
Can Sonia and Zane have full control over a woman as smart as her? If this woman decides to betray them, they might end up in a horrible situation! At that thought, Toby retrieved his phone and dialed Tom’s number as he walked toward the elevator.
“President Fuller.” Tom’s voice came from the other end of the line. Toby pressed his lips together before he spoke in a stern voice. “I want you to get someone to monitor Taylor secretly. I want to be informed whenever she does anything out of the ordinary.”
He simply couldn’t allow a woman like Taylor to threaten Sonia. If someone like Taylor comes up with a nasty idea, I’ll have to destroy her before she tries to do anything. Tom didn’t understand Toby’s intentions, but he nodded in agreement. “I got it, President Fuller. Do you need anything else?”
“That’s all.” Toby ended the call.
Meanwhile, Sonia drove over to the court. Carl and Charles were already waiting for her at the entrance, and they walked over together once they saw her getting out of the car. “Sonia,” Carl greeted. “Baby!” Charles cried.
“How long have you guys been here?” Sonia asked as she shut her car door.
“We’ve been here for a while, but we couldn’t go in since it isn’t time yet. We had no choice but to wait outside.” Carl handed her a cup of milk tea that he had bought earlier.
“Thanks, Carl.” Sonia took the cup from him.
“You’re welcome.” Carl gave her a warm smile. Charles pointed toward the crowd opposite them. “Those reporters are staring at you, darling.”
Sonia sipped on her milk tea as she glanced in the direction that he was pointing. There were reporters snapping photos of her. If it weren’t for the security officers standing outside the court, these reporters would have probably rushed over once I arrived, huh? This trial will determine Tina’s sentence, so the reporters are probably curious to hear my thoughts on it.
“Just ignore them, Sonia. You shouldn’t let them affect your mood.” Carl only took a brief glance in the direction of the reporters.
Sonia nodded. “I’m not going to let them bother me. But aren’t you worried that they might recognize you?” Although Carl was wearing a cap and a mask, his height and body shape was distinct enough to attract looks from others. If the reporters stared for a while more, they might even recognize him.
Carl shrugged. “I don’t mind if they happen to recognize me.”
“It might affect your work,” Sonia replied. Carl’s gaze darkened a little. “It’s fine. I’m not sure if I’m going to continue pursuing a career in this field, anyway.”
“What do you mean?” Sonia and Charles exchanged glances before they both looked at him. “You aren’t thinking of leaving the industry, are you?” Charles placed an arm around Carl’s shoulder. Carl shook Charles’ arm off before he gave Sonia a smile. “I do have the thought of leaving the industry, but I’m still in the midst of contemplating my decision.”
“This is sudden.” Sonia frowned. “Isn’t it your dream to become an internationally-known top male model? Did something happen, Carl?” How else could one explain his sudden wish to give up on his dreams? Sonia wondered.
