“Sonia? Sonia?” Carl waved his hand before her, trying to snap her out of her trance. Sonia blinked for a while and forced a smile. “What is it?” “You were in a trance. What happened?” Carl asked. Sonia wanted to answer, but she smiled instead. “It’s nothing. Let’s go in. I’m hungry.” “Sure.” Carl nodded. Sonia was about to go in, but Carl stopped her. “A minute, please.” “What is it?” She looked at him curiously. “Hold my arm.” He stood with his left arm akimbo. When Sonia saw that, she chuckled. “Very well then, handsome.” Carl blushed, but he took her into the restaurant anyway. The waiter then came up to them and led them to their reserved spot. The moment she sat down, someone from the next table gnashed their teeth.
“Sonia!” the woman growled. Sonia arched her eyebrow and looked at who was calling her. The sight that greeted her was none other than Tina, and she was glaring at Sonia. What a small world. Carl’s face fell. He never thought they’d bump into this madwoman here as well. “Let’s go, Sonia.” However, Sonia shook her head. “It’s fine. Just because we run into someone we don’t like doesn’t mean we have to leave.” Carl sighed. “But you might lose your appetite.” In response, Sonia smiled and replied, “I won’t, but someone else will.” She glanced at Tina after making that snide comment. Tina was holding her cutlery, poking at her plate as if it was Sonia. She was already overwhelmed by her anger, so of course she lost her appetite.
Oh, so she’s trying to annoy Tina. Carl stopped talking and sat back down. At the same time, Toby came back and was surprised to see Carl and Sonia beside them. Sonia’s here too? And with another guy? It was Zane last time, now Carl, so who’s next? Charles? She sure has a lot of men around her, huh? His face darkened, and he pulled his chair back. “You’re done, Toby?” Tina put her cutlery down and went to help Toby, but Toby refused her. He put his crutch aside and pushed against the edge of the table so he could sit down. Thus, Tina’s hand was left hanging in the air, and she looked awkward. But Tina quickly put her hand down and went back to her seat, pretending like nothing had happened. He’s still indifferent. I thought he finally wants to patch things up with me. What a joke. Sonia wasn’t surprised to see Toby, since Tina was around.
However, she didn’t say hi to him, and she just kept drinking her water. Carl glanced at Toby for a while, insecurity and jealousy glinting in his eyes. Indeed, he was jealous and insecure. He might be a famous and rich model who didn’t have to be jealous of Toby despite his wealth, but he simply couldn’t help it. After all, Toby was the only man Sonia loved, and he was insecure for a reason. Carl fiddled with his glass and stared at the table, hiding the darkness within his eyes. Everyone thought he was a gentle person, but nobody knew that was just his façade. In reality, he was a dark introvert who didn’t have a gentle bone within him.
