Chapter 999
While driving, Tom reflected on the incident and said, "President Fuller, you said it's been three days since the incident. Has Miss Reed come up with a solution?"
When he heard Tom's words, Toby frowned.
Do I have a solution? Judging from my understanding of Sonia, she might have already found a solution. After all, I haven't seen any signs of worry or anxiety in the last three days and it's definitely not because of how well she acted. It is highly likely that she already has a solution, which explains why she is able to regularly continue our conversation. If she did not, she would definitely have been distracted and I'd have noticed it, sooner or later. So, she definitely has a plan, but will this solution resolve all her problems?"
Tom was not surprised when Toby remained silent; instead, he turned the steering wheel and continued, "I guess Miss Reed didn't come up with any solution because according to what we know about Paradigm Co., those components are crucial for them. We'll be in a serious problem if we can't recover them. The consequences are devastating and there are only two viable options right now. The first option is to get the components back whereas the second is to use the money to compensate for the missing components. However, Miss Reed may not be able to obtain that much money, or is she prepared to reimburse it?"
After speaking, Tom glanced in the rearview mirror to check on Toby seated in the backseat. I know that President Fuller had already given his supplementary credit card to Miss Reed and told her that she could use it at any time she wanted. As a result, her hesitating to use it is not crucial, but the question remains as to whether she is willing to withdraw the money. On the other hand, I feel that Miss Reed will be unwilling to spend President Fuller's money. How could she be willing to do so when she did not inform him about the incident?
Tom's hypothesis was verified by Toby's reply.
Toby lowered his gaze and muttered quietly, "She's not going to swipe my card."
"I knew it." Tom exclaimed, "I'm confused about why Miss Reed is so adamant, though. Even though it is clear that she has your support, she insists on taking responsibility for everything alone. However, she lacks the ability and strength to satisfactorily address many situations now; why does she even bother?"
If I were Miss Reed, I'd be ecstatic to learn that President Fuller is on my side and will provide me with resources to spend so that I won't be as helpless. Miss Reed's thoughts and actions are baffling me.
"Do you still think Miss Reed doesn't fully trust you, President Fuller?" Tom made a guess as he turned back to look at Toby.
"Shut up," Toby hissed as his eyes narrowed. What does he mean when he says Sonia doesn't trust me completely? No way. She has to have total confidence in me. Perhaps, she just didn't want to depend too much on me.
However, Tom's statements made Toby uneasy.
Tom lowered his head and kept driving in silence after he realized he had said something inappropriate.
Toby took out his phone, opened Messenger, and looked for Sonia's contact. He then clicked in, intending to send her a message but didn't type anything, despite his fingers hovering over the typing bar for a long time. After a while, Toby removed his finger from the screen and quit Messenger.
He couldn't think of anything to say and had no idea how to approach or ask her for the reason why she hadn't informed him about the incident. Nonetheless, there was no use in asking again because he already knew the answer. Let's hear her out once I return the components to her.
Also, Toby realized he needed to get the record straight with her instead of lowering his guard down in response to her confident demeanor. It was vital for him to be forthright with her about his generosity being inappropriate. Not for her, at least not right
now.
Meanwhile, after completing a document processing task, Sonia was a little unsettled and disturbed. It was akin to being caught with one's hand in the cookie jar.
"What's the matter?" Charles asked with concern as he watched Sonia's expression change while seated across her and playing games on his phone.
Sonia sipped her coffee and shook her head before responding, "It's alright. I'm a little anxious, but I'm fine right now."
