Carl smiled. “It’s nothing much. I just called to congratulate you. You’re finally free of all the nasty rumors!”
“Thank you.” A smile formed on Sonia’s face as well. Yeah, my name is finally cleared. I feel so much more relaxed now. “It’s all thanks to Tim,” Sonia continued. “This issue wouldn’t have been resolved so quickly if Tim hadn’t left those two videos behind.”
Upon hearing her words, Carl lowered his gaze a little to conceal the disappointment in his eyes. Why did she say that it’s all thanks to Tim? I was the one who uploaded those two videos.Ding dong! The doorbell rang out of nowhere, and Sonia leaped to her feet. “All right, Carl. I’ll talk to you later. Someone’s here.”
“Who is it?” Carl asked.
Sonia headed toward the door. “I’m not sure. I’ll go take a look.”
“Okay. Don’t forget to check who’s outside before opening the door. You need to remember to protect yourself,” Carl reminded in a gentle and caring tone.
She nodded. “Don’t worry. I got it.” Once the call ended, Sonia put her phone aside and went to the monitor to check who was her visitor. She only opened the door when she saw that the person outside was a guy dressed in a uniform from some delivery company.
“Hello, are you Miss Sonia?” the deliveryman asked her.
“Yeah,” she answered with a nod.
“These are your flowers. Please sign here.” As he spoke, the deliveryman knelt down and picked up a large bouquet of roses from the ground.
The roses looked freshly cut, and there were still beads of water on the petals, which made it look especially gorgeous.
Sonia didn’t take the bouquet immediately. Instead, she eyed the deliveryman suspiciously. “I’m sorry, but is this a mistake here? I didn’t order any flowers.”
“Someone else gifted it to you,” the deliveryman replied.
She was more puzzled than ever. “Who was it?”
“I’m not sure about that. My job is just to deliver the flowers,” he replied with a shake of his head. However, he seemed to recall something just moments later. “There’s a card in here. The answer you’re looking for might be there,” he added.
She immediately took a glance at the bouquet to see a card stuck in the middle of the flowers.
Only then did she reach her hand out to take the flowers from the deliveryman. “Thank you. Safe trip.”
“No worries.” The deliveryman nodded and turned to leave. She shut the door and walked back to the living hall while flipping the card open. There were only a few words written on the card. ‘Congratulations on reclaiming justice for yourself!’
“It’s him!” Sonia frowned as she whispered to herself. There wasn’t any signature at the bottom of the card, but she could clearly recognize the handwriting on the card. It belonged to Toby. Toby is the one who gave these! I thought it was Zane at first. Zane practically gives me tiny presents and flowers every time he sees me after all. I can’t believe my guess was wrong.
