Chapter 1079
"That sounds more like it." Charles gave her a smile of relief, but he then pouted as he seemed to recall something. "Anyway, I'm speechless toward these people. If they wish to secure their positions by apologizing to you, they should at least do it more sincerely. I would feel more respect for them if they had at least perceived me as someone worthy of receiving an apology. But for the sake of achieving their goals, they chose to only apologize to you. Unfortunately, their actions reveal their true intentions.
They are so dumb!"
Then, Charles turned around to look at Toby. "I'm warning you, Toby; you shouldn't go easy on them just because they stepped forward to apologize to Sonia."
"You idiot." Toby gave Charles a look of disdain as he responded in a cold voice.
Charles was furious. Did this guy just call me an idiot? He was about to roll his sleeves up to start a fight with Toby when Sonia quickly spread her arms out to gesture for them to calm down. "Alright. Stop messing around. Don't worry, Charles. I won't let a single one of them go, and Toby won't do so either. So your concerns are unnecessary."
As Charles mentioned, if the media companies were to genuinely apologize to them, Sonia might actually go easy on them since they recognized their mistakes. Nevertheless, these media companies thought that they were clever by apologizing just to Sonia while ignoring Charles. They were too confident that they would be forgiven if they had just apologized to Sonia, and they thought that Toby would let them off the hook. Hah! What a joke. I wonder who gave them this stupid idea, Sonia thought.
"You can tell them their apologies are unappreciated and send the gifts back." Toby had already given Daphne his orders while Sonia was still scoffing about how dumb the media companies were. Daphne didn't want to stay at the door for long, either. The longer she stayed, the more likely she would gaze in Charles' direction. If that happened, Charles would eventually notice her, creating more unnecessary issues for her. So, Daphne was highly grateful to hear Toby's orders, and she quickly nodded in response. "I got it, President Fuller. I'll get that done immediately." She hurried off after that.
Charles didn't know what he felt as he heard the clicking sound of Daphne's high heels disappearing down the corridor. At that moment, he realized that he was no longer holding himself back, so he turned his head around to peep in the direction of the office's entrance. There was no one standing at the door by then, but Charles continued to stare in that direction. Sonia and Toby couldn't read the expression on his face, so they simply stared at him.
After looking at him for a while, Sonia used her eyes to send a message to Toby. Don't you think Charles is weird? Toby's eyes lit up as he responded with his gaze. Hasn't he always been weird? Sonia twitched her lips in exasperation as she gave up on communicating with Toby. At that moment, Sonia's phone started ringing. The sound of her ringtone brought Charles back to reality, and he turned around with a frown on his face. There was a hint of frustration in his eyes. It seemed almost as if he was angry at himself for staring at the spot where Dapline had been standing.
Toby gazed at the other man thoughtfully, and Charles finally sensed Toby's gaze this time. "What are you looking at?" Charles looked up and glared at Toby.
"So... You haven't sensed it," Toby taunted as he curled his lips into a smirk.
The person on the other end of the line interrupted her, and Sonia froze before she held her phone out to take a look at the caller ID. Her cheeks turned pink after she saw the name on her phone. "I'm so sorry," she uttered in embarrassment as she apologized to the person on the line. "I didn't do that intentionally. I thought that you were some horrible media company calling... I'm sorry.
Alright. I'll come over right now."
After she lowered the phone, Sonia patted her chest as she sighed. Well, that was awkward. I thought that it was a call from a media company, so I spoke in a really harsh tone. But once the other person started talking, I realized that I was the one who got it wrong. I embarrassed myself!
"Who called?" Toby glanced at Sonia's phone while knitting his brows. Charles looked at her as well. Sonia took a sip of water to calm herself down before responding. "It was a call from the police. They want me to visit the police station," she explained.
"The police station?" Charles tilted his head sideways. "What did you get yourself into this time, Sonia?"
