Chapter 25
President Fuller?
Sonia looked at the door of the private
room, just in time to meet Toby’s cold
gaze. After just one second, she averted her eyes and released the
teapot in her hand.
“President Fuller, why are you here?” Chester, who was sitting next to Sonia, stood up and asked politely.
The men in the private room were all
one generation older than Toby-some
even two-but Toby’s power in the
industry was obvious to everyone.
Coupled with the fact that the Fuller
Group was currently at the peak of
their power, they wouldn’t dare get into a public dispute with Toby.
Toby shot Sonia a glance, then walked
in and said in his deep voice, “I heard
that you were here playing cards, Mr.
King, so I came to say hello.”
“It’s Friday today. It’s fine. Come and
play some cards.” As opposed to the
arrogance he displayed in front of
Sonia, at this moment, he was
speaking to Toby with a smile. “It just
so happened that President Reed
came to talk about the order of the
goods, so she stayed to play a few
rounds with us.”
Chester smiled and chimed in. “That’s
right. I’m friends with Sonia’s father, He’s very good at playing cards, but she must be rather unlucky, because she keeps losing.”
The other two bosses muttered a few
words in agreement as well, then they
took the opportunity to exchange
business cards with Toby.
Meanwhile, Sonia was silently fiddling
with her cards.
After receiving the business cards
from the two men, Toby strode toward
Paul and said blankly, “You guys carry
on playing. I’ll just watch.”
Paul understood the man’s actions as
soon as he saw it, so he immediately
gave up his seat.
Toby pulled out the chair and sat down.
It was only at such a close distance did
he notice that Sonia’s turtleneck was
wet, and a little bit of hair was sticking
to her fair neck.
“Cough, cough!” While she was playing,
Sonia suddenly coughed twice.
Toby felt the chill, then saw that the
window was wide open, so he went
over and closed it before calling the
waiter over and instructing, “Bring me a
blanket.”
Paul and the rest’s expressions
changed when they saw the way Taby
However, Sonila turned a blind eye and
ear to Toby and his words. After arranging her cards, she threw one out.
In no time, the waiter delivered the
blanket.
“Thank you, but I’m not cold.” Sonia
politely accepted the blanket, then
stuffed it behind her chair before
continuing with the game.
Seeing how stubborn she was being, Toby frowned and felt annoyed.
This woman had never even been in the
business circle before, yet she dared to come here and play cards with a bunch of cunning old foxes. Isn’t she afraid of being eaten alive?
Perhaps it was because Toby was
there-or perhaps because everyone in the private room knew about his relationship with Sonia-the
atmosphere in the private room
suddenly became very harmonious,
and no one talked about anything
indecent
Paul and the others even quietly fed Sonia good cards.
How could Sonia not know the true
nature of these people? Letting out
inward sneers, she pretended not to understand their actions and continued to throw down random cards.
The cards in her hand got worse and
worse. The men wanted to win, but
they didn’t dare do so.
Toby saw Sonia coughing a few more times, and his brows furrowed even more. When she was about to play a card, he leaned over, then took another
card and threw it out.
When Sonia caught a whiff of the cold
scent from the man’s body, she grew
even more lightheaded, so she leaned
back.
Afterward, Toby basically picked cards
for Sonia and laid them down,
Paul glanced at Toby, then said to
Sonia almost apologetically. “A few days ago, an old customer of mine suddenly placed an order, and I didn’t inform the commerce department
before signing with him. It’s only today
that I learned that your company
urgently needs the foreign goods, President Reed. I’m really sorry. I’ll call
the commerce department later, and I’ll
sign the contract at 9.00AM tomorrow.
I’ll definitely ask the factory to produce
your goods as soon as possible.”
Since Paul was showing such kindness, Sonia accepted it. “Then, I’ll have to trouble you with it, Mr. King.
Couah, cough.”
Cough, cough…
That‘s right
