Chapter 1023
"I'm already downstairs. I'll be back soon," Toby replied in a warm voice.
Hearing that, Sonia smiled. "That's great. I was just finishing up the last dish and was worried that it won't taste good if it gets cold. Hurry up, it's almost time to eat."
Toby nodded and hummed in reply.
After the call ended, he put down his phone and uncrossed his legs as if he was finally ready to get out of the car. Sure enough, as soon as he put his phone away, he immediately opened the car door and bent over to exit.
Tom hurriedly lowered the window at the driver's seat and called out to the man who was about to walk toward the elevator. "President Fuller."
Toby stopped and frowned, as if he was displeased with Tom stopping him from going home. "What is it?" He pursed his lips, his tone clearly impatient.
The corners of Tom's mouth twitched. What now? Blaming me for keeping him from going home? He rolled his eyes inwardly. Who was the one who stayed in the car and refused to move earlier? Toby wasn't rushing to get out of the car and go home just now, but now that Sonia had called him, he immediately wanted to rush home. Ha, men will always be men!
Although he was ranting in his mind, Tom didn't show it on his face and asked with a smile, "Do you need me to pick you up tomorrow?"
"What do you think?" Toby asked expressionlessly.
Tom glanced at Sonia's empty parking space and fell silent. After a few seconds, he spoke again. "I understand, President Fuller. What time should I arrive tomorrow morning?"
"Eight o'clock." Toby thought for a moment before giving him a time.
Tom nodded, making a note of it in his head.
Then, when Toby turned around and was about to leave, Tom suddenly recalled something and extended his hand from the car window, calling him again. "President Fuller!"
Toby was getting a little angry this time, and he turned around with a dark expression. "You'd better have something important, or you can go back to the company to work overtime now."
Tom fell silent as his breath got caught in his chest. This man really was vicious!
"President Fuller, I want to say that no matter what happened between you and Miss Reed, I hope that when you go back tonight, you will have a good talk with her and try to resolve the misunderstanding as much as possible so that it wouldn't cause you any problems in the future. After all, you almost gave your life to pursue Miss Reed, and I don't want you two to break up because of a minor issue. President Fuller, d-do you understand what I'm saying?" Tom looked at Toby and asked cautiously.
As an assistant, it was out of line for him to be involved in his superior's private life. However, he really couldn't bear to see Toby falling back into his pain after breaking up with Sonia. Hence, he plucked up the courage and boldly gave his advice, hoping that Toby wouldn't blame him.
In fact, Toby really didn't mean to blame Tom. He was not the kind of person who didn't know any better of himself. He knew that Tom was worried about him when he said those words, so he would not punish him indiscriminately for stepping out of line.
"I don't need you to tell me that. I was going to do that myself." The displeasure on Toby's face disappeared, replaced by an indifferent calm.
