“Go. Let’s not stay here any longer. We should hurry up and go back to write the news so that we can be the first to send this out. Then, we don’t need to worry about finding another hot topic this month.”
The influence of the Fuller Group was enormous. As the president of the company, Toby himself was a big shot that drew everyone’s attention, so every news about him would end up trending on the Internet.
After the two reporters carefully hid their cameras away, they stealthily ran toward a dilapidated van on the side of the road before driving away.
Without knowing that they were photographed, Sonia and Toby left the city center and came to the outskirts of the city.
Looking at the scene outside the car window, Sonia asked with her eyes twitching, “Toby, are we going to a cinema in Berthull?”
He replied, “Yes.”
“Why?” She turned toward him.
“There are so many cinemas in the city center. Why don’t we watch the movie there? Why do we have to go all the way outside the city?”
He lowered his eyelids slightly to cover the flickering light in his eyes as he answered her calmly, “Tom said that the cinema in Berthull is left over from the last century, so the architecture still maintains the style of the past. Also, the movie that we are watching today is a patriotic film, so the atmosphere in this cinema should be good.”
Tom, who was currently driving, couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he heard Toby’s explanation.
Nonsense! I didn't say any of those words. It was him who decided where to watch the movie. When I was buying the tickets, I also wondered why President Fuller chose such a remote cinema in Berthull. At that time, he only gave me a simple answer, which is that it will take a long time for them to get back home. But in the end... he’s pushing all the blame on me and as a pitiful subordinate, I have no choice but to take that blame!
Tom grumbled deep down but outwardly, he tugged at his tie and maintained a smile. “That’s right, Miss Reed. We should pay attention to every aspect when watching a movie. Not only must the plot be exciting, the environment is another important aspect too. If the environment matches the subject of the movie, the audience will be more immersed in the plot and moved by it.
Listening to his explanation, Sonia nodded. “That’s quite reasonable.”
“Thank you for your praise, Miss Reed.” Tom smiled and pushed his glasses before quickly glancing at Toby through the rearview mirror.
At the same time, Toby looked at him and their gazes met.
Quickly, Tom silently asked him with a flattering gaze, President Fuller, how did I do?
Upon noticing that, Toby lifted his chin elegantly. Not bad.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Tom retracted his gaze and continued driving the car.
Then, Sonia suddenly asked again, “By the way, what’s the name of the movie?”
Lately, history had become a popular topic in the entertainment industry, so most of the films and TV shows shot recently were related to patriotism or the war times.
This month alone, Sonia heard that there were three patriotic movies being released, so she didn’t know which one Toby was bringing her to watch.
Therefore, Toby took out two movie tickets from his suit pocket and handed them to her. “The film’s name is on it.”
“Let me see.” She took the tickets and lowered her head. Then, she slowly uttered the name shown, ‘“The International Spy’. So this is what we are going to watch.”
“You’ve seen it before?” Toby’s eyes were full of surprise.
She shook her head and replied, “Nope, but I heard that this movie is really popular. Many employees in Paradigm Co. chatted about this movie. I heard that the plot is nice and the romance between the hero and heroine is really moving. That is why I’m a bit interested in it. However, I was too busy lately, so I didn’t have the time to check it out. Thanks to you, I can now see how good this movie really is.”
With that, she returned the tickets to him and smiled.
Toby felt a weight lifted from his heart slightly.
Thank god she hasn't watched the movie yet! If I brought her here to watch a movie that she saw before, there won't be any surprises.
Seated in the driver’s seat, Tom also breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s great that Miss Reed hasn’t seen the movie before. If she saw it before, President Fuller is going to torture me all over again by asking me to look into which movie is better and telling me to buy everything once more.
