He wouldn't push the woman he loves away otherwise. I think I should stop being on guard around him now.
"So how are you gonna reward them?" Sonia asked curiously, holding his hand.
He patted her head. "That'll be my business. Don't worry.
I'm not gonna be stingy on this."
Sonia rolled her eyes. "Never said you would. You're rich. I don't think you'd be a scrooge about this."
Toby smiled. "I should feel happy that you think so highly of me."
"You should." She grinned.
Toby flicked her forehead. "Right. The rewards are settled, so now's the time for punishment."
"Wait, punishment?" Sonia froze, and she looked at him in confusion. "Who's getting punished?" Toby didn't answer.
Instead he gazed at her, and her heart sank. What?"Wait.
Are you saying it's me?" She pointed at herself.
Toby didn't give her a straight answer. "I'm upset that you hid things from me, so a punishment is in order. You're spending the night with me," he whispered the last part into her ear and nibbled on her earlobe. Toby made it sound beguiling on purpose.
Sonia shivered. She understood very well what he meant by 'spending the night with me'. Darn it. She blushed. "You really know how to work the system. You just have to get all the rewards you can, huh?"
Toby chuckled. "Let's go then." He bent over and carried her in his arms, then they went to the room.
Sonia gasped in surprise. "Let me go. We haven't finished dinner yet."
