Chapter 894 This is Connor
Of course Xander thought it was humiliating. He had strutted in like a peacock, thinking that a mere woman would never refuse him. He thought she would do as he said, but Sonia was not the coward he thought she was. Instead, she had great courage within her, and it was a reminder of his earlier foolishness. It was as if she just broke his pride, and it made him snap.
Sonia noticed the veiled threat, and she tightened her grip on her handbag. “My answer is still the same no matter how many times you’re going to ask. I won’t go.” I’d be mad if I went with him. Who knows what would happen if I did? I’m not going, just in case.
Xander finally ran out of patience, and venom dripped in his eyes. “Since you’re not coming with me, then I might have to take you by force, Miss Reed.”
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” She froze up for a moment and took a step back. Fear bubbled within her, but she held it down and looked at the man cautiously.
“You’re at Bayside Residence, one of the high-end condominium complexes in Seafield. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. Touch me and it won’t be pretty. Same thing goes for your boss. Do you think Toby will let this slide?” She used Toby to threaten them.
Xander stopped in his tracks, and the anger on his face subsided. It was replaced by concern and worry. He was just trying to finish his task and take her to him, but he forgot that he was in Seafield. He was on Toby’s turf, not somewhere he could do whatever he wanted.
He was the outsider here, and if Toby found out that he attacked Sonia, he would fly into a rage and ruin Connor’s plan. Xander clenched his fists as he was out of ideas.
The sight of him stopping in his tracks told Sonia that her warning worked. She heaved a sigh of relief in silence, and she was touched at the same time.
Toby did protect her at all times. Even though he was not around, his name alone made her feel safe. As long as he was there, she had nothing to fear. He actually managed to be my biggest defender and protect me at all times, just like he promised.
Sonia took a deep breath and put those thoughts aside. It was not the time for sentiments. She was planning on leaving and escaping into her home while Xander was still in a trance. She would then call Toby and tell him that Connor had come to Seafield.
Sonia stared at Xander as she slowly retreated. She planned to turn back and run once she had put some distance between them. If she ran right away, Xander would be alarmed, and he would catch up to her in no time.
She closed her eyes and retreated, keeping her breathing and mind calm at all times. It was imperative to stay collected, or she might slip up and get caught.
However, Xander had already snapped out of it even though Sonia did not make any mistakes. He noticed her backing off and realized what she was trying to do. He shot her a fierce look. “You think you can run?”
Sonia looked shocked that he saw through her. She ditched her original plan and made a run for the complex right away.
Xander tried to go after her, but then a deep male voice sounded. “Xander, stop.”
