Chapter 38
The man wore a black coat that accentuated his attraction. However, because of his naturally cold attitude and his distant gaze, it made people unable to get closer to him.
When Sonia’s eyes rested on his face, her heart could not help but skip a beat and she naturally lowered her head.
She did not expect that even after being
divorced from him for such a long time, he
still had an effect on her.
“President Fuller, you’ve arrived.” Even
though Cynthia had been annoyed by
Rebecca, Cynthia immediately greeted
Toby with a smile when she saw him. “I
heard from Tina that you are inundated with work. Are you here to pick her up7”
He hummed politely as a reply. When his gaze flitted past Sonia, he frowned in unhappiness. Has this woman forgotten about the lesson she learned at Sakura Heights?
When Zane called him half an hour ago
and told him that Sonia and Tina were
playing poker together in a room in Luna Club, Toby did not believe him. He knew
that Sonia was quite bad at cards and
thought that she would not be that silly to
play with Tina
Knowing that Toby might not believe him,
Zane even sent a picture. It was only until Toby received the photographic evidence
that he drove to the club.
He immediately walked to Tina and his tone softened when he saw her looking frail. “Didn’t you say in the afternoon you were coughing? Why are you here to play poker?”
She gave him a slight smile. “It’s just a
slight cough. Don’t worry about it. On top
of that, Melody is in Seafield, so I want to
show her around.”
Toby knew about the Stryder Family in
Norfolk and he was acquainted with
Master Stryder.
Toby removed his scarf and wrapped it
around Tina. Even though it was a tiny
movement, it was enough to make the
women around them qush,
Cynthia commented, “My, oh my, President Fuller. We all know that you care about Tina a lot, but the heater here is switched on. You’re just trying to show off your love for Tina in front of us.”
Upon hearing Cynthia’s teases, Tina
blushed and she glared. “If you say one
more word of nonsense, get out of here.”
“Alright. I won’t say anymore.”
When Sonia saw Toby carefully wrapping
the scarf around Tina and him passing a
warm drink the moment he sat next to
Tina, their intimate behavior had caused
Sonia’s eyes to hurt.
She had deliberately walked into Tina’s trap to punish hier into leaving Toby and never returning to Seafield, but he had appeared.
After seeing how affectionate he had treated Tina, Sonia no longer had the
desire to continue the battle.
Toby shot a glance at Tina’s cards and said coolly, “Miss Reed is not good at playing poker. Let’s forget it after this round. You guys won’t have much fun
playing with a beginner like her too. I’ll play
a few rounds with you instead.”
The smile on Tina’s face froze before she
gently responded, “Okay.”
On the other hand, Cynthia continued to
glance at Sonia’s deck of cards and
realized that Sonia had a good chance of
winning the round. As Cynthia was slightly worried, she was about to inform Tina when Sonia separated her set and placed
a cand out
Upon seeing that, Tina was elated and she slowly revealed her cards as well. “Thank you, Miss Reed.”
“Wow! You are amazing, Tina! I can’t
believe you have a royal flush!” Cynthia
exclaimed agitatedly after seeing Tina’s
cards.
“Sonia, Tina has already won three rounds.
You have to concede defeat.” With a cold
laugh, Melody pressed a button to ask the
waiter to come into the room. Then, she
passed him a stack of money. “Ask a
tattoo artist to come here as soon as
possible.”
“Alright. Please wait for a moment.”
When Toby saw all these, he slightly frowned and asked Tina, “What is going
“I heard from Tyler that Miss Reed has a tattoo bearing the abbreviation of your name…” Tina explained in a low voice after biting her lips. “Apart from that, she even
insisted on betting with me. She said that
if she lost the bet, she would remove the
tattoo.”
Rebecca rested her chin on her hand while
looking at Tina. “Miss Gray, you are the
one who ran into President Reed at the
restaurant’s entrance and asked whether
she had a tattoo on her waist bearing the
initials ‘TF’. You were also the one who
poker. And now, you’re saying that President Reed wanted to bet with you? Oh, how good you are with words!”
“Enough.” Sonia stopped Rebecca from arguing further and calmly spoke to Tina. “Since I’ve lost this round, I’m willing to concede defeat.”
words ‘TF’ on it.
and since it was such a long time ago, I can’t remember anymore.” She shook her head and held his arms as she lifted her head to ask, “Toby, have … done something wrong by asking Miss Reed to remove her tattoo?”
