Tom had a death grip on Charles outside the door because he was afraid that Charles would cause a ruckus in the room. On the other hand, Charles could only look at the ceiling in helplessness.
The door opened at that moment.
Immediately, Charles’ eyes brightened as he turned toward the door, thinking that it was Sonia. However, his face darkened when he saw Tyler and snapped, “Toby, you better ask your man to let me go!”
After Toby glanced at him, he turned toward Tom. “Let him go.”
Tom then released his grip on Charles.
Once Charles was freed, he walked over and
stood in Toby’s way. “Why were you inside for so long? What did you say to Sonia?”
“It’s none of your business,” Toby replied before he headed to the elevator while Tom ran after him.
At the same time, Charles watched them entering the elevator before he left with a dark look on his face. Then, he swung his aching arm that was forcefully grabbed earlier before pushing the door to enter Sonia’s office.
“Darling, Toby didn’t do anything to you, did he?” He rushed to Sonia’s desk before he asked in a worried tone.
Nevertheless, Sonia looked disengaged as she sat on her seat. She looked like she was in a daze.
Charles knelt down before he waved his hand in
front of her. “Sonia?”
“Huh?” Her eyes wavered before she came back to her senses. “What happened?”
“I asked whether Toby did anything to you. Why were you in a daze?” He gave Sonia a suspicious look while she lowered her head to mask her expression. “I’m just thinking about something. Don’t worry, he didn’t do anything to me.”
“What did he talk to you about?” Charles asked while rubbing his chin.
His intuition was telling him that the reason why she had zoned out was because of Toby.
Nevertheless, Sonia massaged her temple. “It’s nothing important.” “But, you look—”
“Charles, can you please stop asking me questions? I want to be left alone,” she solemnly responded as she looked up at Charles.
Sonia still hadn’t recovered from what Toby had told her and she needed time to recompose her emotions.
After staring at her for a while, Charles finally shrugged. “Alright. In that case, I’ll head back first. Contact me if anything happens.”
“Sure.” She nodded.
Then, he left.
Meanwhile, Sonia supported the weight of her head with her hand and she looked depressed.
A while later, she suddenly took her phone out and tapped into her university group chat that she hadn’t viewed in a long time. Then, she searched for a username called ‘Mayflower’ and sent a voice message.
Her voice message was opened and listened to shortly after that. Moments after that, she received a voice message from a woman, who sounded shocked. “Sonia, I can’t believe you actually messaged me! This is rare!”
