Chapter 605 Liking Her to the Point of the Unimaginable
“Is that too much?” Lowering his gaze, Toby had a gentle expression as he looked at Sonia. “I don’t think what she did was overboard. I even think that she was too lenient. If it were me, I would’ve smashed the person’s car who intentionally parked in my spot. Also, I would’ve blacklisted that person in the industry, so nobody would dare hire them.”
Sonia chuckled at his words.
Conversely, Jessica was left stunned and wide-eyed with disbelief. “Mr. Fuller, you…”
“What about me?” Toby raised his gaze, his eyes not holding even a shred of emotion as he looked at her.
Seeing his gaze made Jessica cower a bit, and she gulped before continuing, “Didn’t you stand up for me just now? Why are you now…”
Before she could finish her words, Sonia interrupted her with a laugh.
Tilting her head, Sonia looked at Toby. “Were you really standing up for her just now?”
Toby’s mouth twitched before he replied, “Do you think that’s possible?”
“Of course not.” Shaking her head, she murmured, “I’m just curious as to what you did that made her imply that you were.”
Pursing his lips, he also wondered out loud, “I’d like to know too.”
With that, Toby faced Jessica again. “You said I was standing up for you? What proof do you have?”
“You asked me what she did to me just now, didn’t you?” Jessica replied with eyes full of hope.
Failing to hold it back in, Sonia burst out into laughter yet again.
Feeling rather speechless, Toby said, “Wait—you thought that I was standing up for you just because I asked you this?”
Jessica bit her lip as she countered, “Wasn’t that it?”
With a dark expression, Toby replied bluntly, “You’re reading too much into it, and even if I really wanted to stand up for someone in this situation, that someone would be Sonia. Who are you to butt in?”
Her face turning pale, Jessica felt as if she just received a heavy blow as she staggered backward, mouthing, “Mr. Fuller, y-you…”
Jessica stated it in a way that made Toby sound like a playboy who broke her heart. When Sonia and Toby looked on, they felt absolutely speechless.
Holding onto his arm, Sonia said, “Enough of this. Let’s go. Just ignore her—she’s completely mental. If you do, she’ll just sink further into her delusions.”
Looking at the hand placed on his arm, Toby did not bother to hide his inner glee as he chuckled and murmured, “Alright.”
Turning around, they were about to leave.
However, Jessica, who finally saw Toby again, was not going to let them leave that easily.
Clenching her teeth, she chased after them until finally, she stopped in front of them, halting them from advancing. “Wait, Mr. Fuller!”
Annoyed, Toby peered at her. “What now?”
“Mr. Fuller, are you in love with my sister?” Jessica said this as she looked at Sonia with a flash of jealousy in her eyes.
Catching that flash of envy in the other woman’s eyes, a speechless Sonia felt a tinge of discomfort inside. And so, she proceeded to pinch Toby’s elbow.
Noticing the pain, Toby raised his eyebrows as he looked at the woman beside him. “What is it?”
After shooting him a knowing look, Sonia turned her head away, ignoring him.
Instantly, Toby knew what she was trying to say from her obvious gaze and he smiled gently. Just as he was going to speak, someone’s phone rang—turned out it was Sonia’s.
Taking out her phone, Sonia smiled upon noticing who the caller was. “I need to take this. It’s from my grandpa. It’s probably regarding the shareholders’ meeting today. Uncle King and him know each other, so maybe he called my grandpa beforehand.”
