Chapter 895 A Talk
I see. Sonia heaved a sigh of relief. And I thought he was a psychic.
A lock of her hair had fallen out of place from the running earlier and she pushed it behind her ear. She looked at Connor and said, “I imagined quite a different person, Mr. Salzburg. I never thought you’d look so friendly. I apologize for looking so surprised.”
She was just being polite, though. Connor’s looks were deceiving, but she knew he was not friendly at all. He was just putting on an act, but thanks to that front, she was not feeling as nervous anymore.
He ignored the little white lie and waved her off with a smile. “It’s nothing. If anyone should apologize here, it’s me. I’m sorry for scaring you, Miss Reed. I spoil my assistant a little too much, so he can be quite arrogant. I’m really sorry for his behavior.”
Connor was about to bow when Sonia stopped him. “It’s alright, Mr. Salzburg. You don’t have to do this.” She would have let him bow to her, but he might get back at her for this, so she stopped him. People like him thought they could do no wrong, and all their apologies or bowing were just for show.
If she did not stop him, he would get back at her someday for this. He might be smiling on the outside, but he would have already thought of Sonia as his enemy on the inside. Whatever courtesy they offered was just for show.
If someone was stupid enough to let them do it, they would think that the other person was at fault, not them. Just as Sonia expected, Connor started beaming the moment Sonia stopped him. He straightened his back and said, “My, you’re such a kind person, Miss Reed.”
Sonia forced a smile. “You flatter me, Mr. Salzburg.” Yeah right. I would have let you bow if it weren’t for the fact that you’re a hypocritical snake. The fact that he betrayed Toby’s mother disgusted her despite them not meeting before. Sonia was a woman, so of course she would take the women’s side and reject jerks like Connor.
“You’re too modest, Miss Reed. I’m just speaking the truth.” Connor’s warm smile had still remained.
She looked at his smile, and she frowned. For some reason, the way he carried himself felt familiar. A lot of people were gentle, and she had seen a lot of people like Connor, but due to their differences, everyone was different despite them being gentle.
It was her first time seeing Connor, but the way he carried himself was really familiar. She must have seen it before, or she would not feel this way. Who is it?
She bit her lip and wracked her brain to search through her memories. A moment later, the image of a young man in a white shirt popped into her mind. She opened her mouth in disbelief. Toby? Toby’s the one who gave me that feeling before?
Sonia quickly faced Connor again and compared him to the young, gentle Toby in her mind. In the end, she noticed that Toby acted just like Connor when he was younger.
There’s no way two men can carry themselves in the exact same way, unless one of them is modeled after the other. Connor can’t be modeled after Toby.
The guy is about twenty years older than Toby is, so Toby must be modeled after Connor. The younger they are, the easier they are to sculpt. There are only a few people who would model Toby after someone though. It’s either his grandmother, father, or mother.
