Chapter 921 A Serious-Looking Toby
Sonia patted Toby’s back and urged, “Come on, get up. I need to accept the call.”
Upon hearing her, Toby pursed his lips and got up reluctantly.
Then, Sonia propped herself up from the couch and reached out for her phone in her coat’s pocket, ignoring her messy hair.
When she saw the caller ID, she quickly said, “It is Mrs. Lane. She probably wants to know what time we are coming.”
Sonia accepted the call and placed the phone against her ear. “Hey, Mrs. Lane.”
Meanwhile, Toby sat next to her and started combing through her unruly hair gently.
On the other end of the call, Grace was sitting on the couch in her living room with her phone in her hand as well. With a gentle smile on her face, she asked, “Sonny, it is already 7.30PM, what time are you guys coming over?”
At that, Sonia quickly lowered her head to glance at her watch before answering, “I am sorry that we took so long to get ready, Mrs. Lane. We are heading out now and will arrive at around 8.00PM.”
Since Paradigm Co. was not really far from the Lane Residence, reaching there would only take approximately 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, Grace nodded after she heard Sonia’s answer. “Alright. I will get the chefs to start preparing dinner now. We will be waiting for you guys.”
“Alright,” Sonia replied with a smile.
After the call ended, she placed her phone down and pulled Toby up. “Come on, Mrs. Lane is asking about our whereabouts already. We should hurry.”
While talking, she grabbed the giftbags on the couch as well.
Nevertheless, Toby quickly moved forward to take most of the giftbags from her. “Let me take those. You can carry these two instead.”
He left two giftbags in Sonia’s hand, which contained two of the lightest handbags.
Toby had taken all the heavy ones away and let her carry all the light ones.
Although Sonia was touched when she realized what he was trying to do, she still snatched two gift bags from him. “I know that you do not want me to carry heavy things, but your arm has not completely healed yet, and I cannot bear watching you lift all these on your own, so why not we carry them together? I will let you carry everything in the future once your arm is completely healed, alright? Let’s go.”
She chuckled before heading toward the door.
At the same time, Toby stared at her retreating figure before glancing at his left arm. At that moment, he felt like his heart was about to melt.
On the other hand, Sonia had already walked out of her office.
However, she paused and was confused when she noticed that Toby was not trailing behind her. Immediately, she rolled her eyes and shouted, “What are you doing, Toby? Stop daydreaming. Let’s go!”
When Toby heard her voice, his gaze wavered slightly before he came back to his senses. “I am coming.”
He quickly ran out to catch up to Sonia, and the two of them took the elevator down to the first floor, as Sonia’s car was parked at the spot outside of Paradigm Co.’s lobby instead of the basement parking.
