Seeing that he had understood what she said and had admitted his mistake, Sonia let it go immediately.
Waving her hand, she muttered, "It's fine as long as you don't do it again. But why did you do that just now?"
"Because I'm overjoyed," Toby replied, his lips curved.
"Overjoyed?" She casted a sidelong glance at him. "What are you overjoyed about?"
"Your promise." The curve on his face widened. "You said you will not leave me as long as I do not betray you, regardless of the difficulties you face. That means you've promised not to leave me forever, as I will never do you wrong. That's what makes me so happy."
While saying this, he slightly puffed out his chest, appearing confident and even smug.
If he wasn't a human, Sonia could almost see his tail wagging behind him.
Does that really make him so happy?
She smiled and shook her head. "No matter how happy you are, you shouldn't stop the car anywhere you like."
"Don't worry. I'll hug and kiss you in a safe place next time."
That instantly made her blush. "I'm not referring to that! What I mean is that you must ensure your own safety. Safety. Not taking advantage of every opportunity to hug or kiss me!"
Toby patronizingly nodded, but he clearly didn't take it seriously.
Of course he would pay attention to his safety.
But hugging and kissing her was also a
priority!
After all, he had to fight for such opportunities.
He couldn’t very well expect her to take the initiative, could he?
Seeing his patronizing demeanor, Sonia knew what he was thinking and was amused by the man.
Forget it. Let him think whatever he wants, she thought.
He wouldn't take anything she said seriously anyway.
They conversed happily the rest of the way to the police station.
Meanwhile, Titus and Connor were in deep trouble.
Toby's revenge had finally been exacted, and Titus was the first to experience it.
Titus and the investigation team were leaving the conference room, and both parties stood at the door.
Titus shook his hand with Chief Dunlap, the leader of the investigation team. With his sickly face and a warm smile, Titus said, "It's been hard on you, Chief Dunlap." "Not at all," Chief Dunlap replied smilingly. "You're the one having a hard time, President Gray. Thank you so much for bringing us around for the past few days despite your poor health. We'll feel bad as if your physical condition deteriorates."
"Don't mention it at all," Titus courteously replied. "This is my company. Of course, as the president, I have to show you around and brief you on the issues at hand. After all, I am in charge of Triforce Enterprise. The investigation will conclude tomorrow, and I will rest well after that. There's nothing to be concerned about." "Thank you for saying so, President Gray. We're all done for the day, and we'll head back to our hotel first. Let us not disturb your rest any further." Chief Dunlap drew his hand back and continued, "You don't have to send us off. President Gray. Goodbye.”
"Let me send you all downstairs," Titus said while gesturing them the way.
At that, Chief Dunlap didn't say anything further. He nodded and led the way, with Titus walking beside him.
Their subordinates followed them from behind.
The group then proceeded to the elevator.
Just as they were about to enter the waiting area for the elevator, they heard a sound resonating from it.
