Little Leaf has an inferiority complex. She would take the initiative to end our relationship if Harry told her she is unworthy of me.Even if she does not agree, this will scar her and she will begin to doubt her relationship with me.Afier all, it is my respected teacher who dissuades her Little Leaf will undoubtedly feel inferior if Harry deems us to be unfit.
Toby massaged his temples.
It appears I should prevent them from seeing each other.I should also visit him less frequently. Ugh, I hate to listen to his criticisms every time I see him.
Toby sighed lightly before facetiming Sonia.
Meanwhile, Sonia was completing some paperwork. She took much longer than usual to process a document since she was suddenly dragged into a pool of Internet scandal out of nowhere. Had she not distracted herself with work, she would have been preoccupied with the online scandals instead.
As such, the former seemed like a much better and healthier option to go on with the day. After all, what more could she do than to keep reading those self-destructive comments online?
Suddenly, her phone that had been set aside rang unexpectedly; it was a video call.
Sonia set down her pen and turned to take a look at her phone screen, which flashed with Toby's invite to a video call.
She assumed he was done with his meeting and Tom had informed him about what was going on, hence his phone call.
She pursed her red lips and complicated her expression as she looked at Toby's call ID on the screen. She had no intention of answering the phone; instead, she zoned out for a long time as the phone rang.
When the FaceTime invitation was finally disconnected, she awoke in a trance to find that the video had been hung up.
Sonia bit her lower lip as a guilty expression flashed across her face.
She was upset at herself that she spaced out and missed Toby's video call.
With that being said, she had no plans to call him back. As the anxious feelings stemmed from the uncertainty of the culprit's relationship with Toby, Sonia was concerned that once he had found out the identity of the mastermind, he would advise her to proceed in a low-profile manner instead.
If so, she would be at a loss for how to deal with Toby and her feelings for him. It's okay, I don't need to take the call. At least I will be at peace of mind for a little while...
"Miss Reed." Several knocks outside the door were followed by Daphne's voice.
Sonia looked up and saw Daphne standing at the door before getting up quickly, "You're back."
"Yes," Daphne nodded before approaching the president.
"So?” Sonia asked worriedly.
"Miss Reed, the surveillance footage has been deleted, just as we suspected," Daphne said, shaking her head.
Hearing Daphne's words, Sonia's anxiety faded.
Am I disappointed?Yes, but not so much.Afier all, I've predicted it and I'm mentally prepared for it.
The answer Daphne gave was a confirmation of Sonia's initial guess.
"What should we do now, Miss Reed? The identity of the person is obviously extraordinary given that they are able to enter a large hotel and delete the surveillance footage," Daphne asked while looking at Sonia.
"I know exactly who did this," Sonia piped up.
"Really?" Daphne asked in surprise.
"Yes."
"That's great. Now that you know the culprit, despite their complicated identity, everything will be simple to discuss as long as you hand it over to President Fuller. That person will definitely obey his words. They will also unquestionably hand the surveillance footage to him once President Fuller demands." Daphne gave a broad smile.
Sonia, on the other hand, remained expressionless.
When Daphne saw this, her cheerful mood abruptly froze. "What is the problem, Miss Reed? You don't seem to be in a good mood."
"How can I be? Do you have any idea who did this?"
