Chapter 546 Daphne Is Sick
Toby’s reply was quick. ‘Alright. I’ll wait for you.’
The smile on Sonia’s face deepened when she read his text. Placing her phone back in her chest pocket, she quickly went back to her office to pack up her stuff before going downstairs.
In no time, Sonia reached Toby’s car. However, right when she wanted to knock on his car window, it rolled down before his handsome face was revealed as he grinned at her. “Get in.”
“Alright.” Sonia nodded before she walked to the other side of the car and entered.
After Sonia settled down in her seat, Tom started the car engine and drove away. In the meantime, she was staring at Toby’s leg. I wonder if his leg is better now.
Still, she couldn’t see anything, as his leg was covered by his pants.
I guess I’ll only find out when we reach the hospital.
At the thought of that, Sonia straightened her posture.
At this moment, Toby started telling her about Tina. Upon knowing that Tina was backed by others, Sonia frowned. “Looks like we still don’t know Tina well enough.”
If they understood Tina fairly well, they would have known who was backing her.
Toby didn’t say anything regarding Sonia’s comment. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely lure her out.”
“I know.” Sonia nodded, not questioning Toby’s determination to capture Tina, considering how Tina wanted him dead as well. Reasonably, he wouldn’t let Tina go unpunished,
After all, Toby and Tina were nemeses now. Even if he didn’t manage to catch her, he surely wouldn’t let him off the hook as well.
“I heard that you visited a few security firms during these two days?” Toby suddenly asked.
Right then, an odd glint flashed past Sonia’s eyes. “How do you know that?”
“There’s a security firm under Fuller Group, and most of the bodyguards in the firm are retired special forces, so most of the security firms in Seafield would often hire bodyguards from us to be their trainers. When you visited that security firm yesterday, one of the bodyguards in my firm saw and recognized you, so he told me about it,” Toby explained while Sonia nodded in realization. “I see. Well, it’s true. I visited a few security firms recently.”
“Are you looking to hire bodyguards?” Toby stared at Sonia before she made a sound of acknowledgment. “Yeah. Since Tina escaped and hid somewhere, I’m worried that she might appear out of nowhere while I’m not prepared to give me a fatal blow. I’m thinking of hiring two bodyguards so that I can at least feel safer. Still, I can’t find anyone suitable for the role, even though I’ve already gone through a few firms.”
“Why didn’t you come to me?” Toby pursed his lips.
At the same time, Sonia lowered her head. “I’ve already caused too much trouble for you, so I don’t feel comfortable asking for help from you again.”
Besides, she thought that it was impossible for her and Toby to end up being together, so why should she ask him for help?
Immediately, Toby’s expression darkened, and it was obvious that he wasn’t satisfied with Sonia’s answer. “What do you mean? You’re never a burden to me!”
Sonia’s eyes widened a little as a hint of warmth flowed through her body. “You—”
However, she was cut off by her phone’s ringtone before she could say anything.
Right then, Toby frowned while Sonia gave him an apologetic smile and took her phone out. “Let me get this call.”
“Alright.” Toby nodded, despite being annoyed by the caller. How distasteful.
After getting Toby’s approval, Sonia swiped across the green button before placing her phone next to her ear. “Hello?”
It was a call from Daphne.
At this moment, Daphne’s weak voice rang out. “President Reed, I’m sorry, but I haven’t gone to the office after noon today.”
“It’s fine.” Sonia smiled. “I was the one who made you leave, so you don’t have to be sorry for it.”
“Thank you, President Reed, but can I get a leave for tomorrow?” Daphne asked.
Upon noticing that something sounded wrong from Daphne’s voice, Sonia had a worried look on her face. “Of course. However, you’ll have to tell me what’s wrong. You sound tired. Are you sick?”
On the other end of the call, Daphne’s gaze wavered a little before she replied, “A little. I ran under the rain during the afternoon just now, and I might have caught the flu.”
