Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 799

Chapter 799 Don’t Even Think About It

While Tom was resigned to this humiliation, he couldn’t help but pray fervently that the delivery guy from Paradigm Co. would show up soon. If he did, then Tom and Toby would be spared from this embarrassment.

Perhaps the heavens decided to take pity on Tom and moved to spare him and Toby from the awkward situation, because not long after that, a man in a suit came through the entrance with a thermal container in hand.

As soon as Tom spotted the man, he stood up and announced enthusiastically, “President Fuller, the guy from Paradigm Co. is here! I remember that thermal container he’s holding because Miss Reed used it while she was taking care of you!”

Toby had been glancing at his watch when he heard Tom’s words and looked up immediately. Sure enough, the familiar thermal container came into view, and as for the man carrying it, Toby decided to pay no mind to him at all.

A smile tugged on his lips as he rose from his seat and walked up to the man from Paradigm Co.

On the other hand, the man was a little startled to see Toby approach him personally. “President Fuller,” he greeted.

“Give it to me,” Toby said in clipped tones as he reached for the container.

Without delay, the man quickly handed it over and smiled respectfully as he said, “President Fuller, this is the soup Chairman Reed made for you and had me send over here. She also wants to remind you to drink it while it’s hot.”

Toby grabbed the thermal container and replied warmly, “Thank you. You may go back now.”

“Very well,” the man said courteously with a nod.

Then, Toby turned and headed for the elevators with Tom hurrying after him.

It was only after the two of them had disappeared into the elevator that the receptionist let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the two heads of Ceberus are gone! It was as if she had been brought back to life after turning into stone. She didn’t have to gird her loins or bear with the suffocating pressure anymore!

She wiped off the beads of cold sweat that had broken out over her forehead and smiled in tired relief. After that, she picked up her phone and immediately texted into the group chat to tell her colleagues what had happened.

Everyone in the group clamored to guess what Toby could have been doing at the lobby, and when it was revealed by the front desk receptionist that he had been there to personally collect the soup Sonia made for him, everyone burst into an uproar.

None of them would have thought that he was there for such a simple reason, for it seemed too surreal.

However, the female employees in the group chat seemed to have descended into a frenzy. Each of them thought it was incredibly romantic of Toby to wait in the lobby just so he could personally collect the soup Sonia had made for him. More importantly, it only went to show just how much he cared for and loved her. This is a fine example of a good man!

Following that, the male employees in the group chat were mercilessly criticized for not being as romantic or considerate or devoted as Toby. Alas, they could make no retort even if they thought the criticism and comparison were unfair. After all, they were being compared to the president of Fuller Group, and any protest on their part could easily be construed as an insult to Toby.

If they were caught muttering even a word of dissatisfaction about Toby, then it would only take 10 minutes before their supervisors came up to them and demanded an explanation. As things were, they could do nothing but swallow their pride and reluctantly admit their own shortcomings.

Meanwhile, Toby and Tom had returned to the office. The latter was just about to ask if there were any documents to be sent to relevant departments in the company when Toby spoke first. “Bring me a bowl.”

Oh, yes, by all means, set aside important work just so you can enjoy your precious soup, Tom thought sarcastically while suppressing the urge to roll his eyes. He maintained a smile as he very obligingly went into the utilities room to retrieve a bowl and a spoon.

When he returned, he saw that Toby had already twisted open the lid of the thermal container. Sure enough, the soup was still piping hot, and white smoke unfurled from the opening of the container. This was coupled with the savory, appetizing scent of the bone broth.

Tom took a sniff and swallowed as he stared longingly at the thermal container. “President Fuller, Miss Reed sure has a way with making bone broth! That smells delicious!”

“Of course,” Toby agreed proudly as he lifted his chin at a haughty angle. My Little Leaf is the best at cooking, and the bone broth she makes is the finest there is!

At the sight of Toby’s smug look, Tom rolled his eyes. I’m not complimenting you, so wipe that grin off your face, sir! But even as he thought this, he uttered not a single word and hurriedly passed the bowl and spoon over.

Toby took the utensils and promptly served himself a bowl of soup.
