Tom exclaimed aloud before he hurriedly clapped his hands to congratulate Toby. “Congratulations, President Fuller! Your difficulties have finally come to an end." He was really happy for Toby because he had seen how hard Toby tried to win Sonia back and almost endangered his own life. So, knowing that Toby had finally reconciled with Sonia, Tom was exhilarated.
Upon hearing Tom's congratulations, Toby huffed. He's not bad at sweet talking.
By the way, President Fuller...” Tom looked at Toby and grinned. “President Fuller, now that you and Miss Reed are back together, will there be any benefit for us? You see, when other bosses become taken or get married, they either invite their employees to dinners or give bonuses to employees for them to obtain more good luck. Do you also wish to do something like that?"
Tom expectantly rubbed his hands together.
At that, Toby's face instantly darkened. “Benefits?”
I'm already being benevolent by not blaming him for stimulating my grandmother. How could he be so bold as to ask for benefits?
Of course, although Toby was extremely dissatisfied with Tom's behavior of asking for benefits, he thought that Tom had a point. Giving benefits to the staff was one way to obtain good luck for both himself and Sonia. As he and Sonia had just reconciled, they really needed all the good luck that they could receive. Although he personally didn’t believe in these, he had to do his best in this relationship.
Thus, it was necessary to give benefits to Tom. Thinking about this, Toby said with a cold face, “All the company employees will be paid an extra month's salary.”
Tom's eyes instantly lit up at that. “Thank you, President Fuller!”
Toby coldly snorted. Then, he no longer cared to pay any attention to Tom but instead leaned back in his seat to close his eyes.
He did not mind Toby's indifference either as long as he could receive the benefits.
“Drive,” Toby impatiently ordered.
Tom straightened his tie and hurriedly buried the excitement in his heart to start the car.
On the other hand, Sonia finally returned to her office. Daphne followed her in and looked at her unchanged clothes, then couldn't help but tease, “Chairman Reed, are you and President Fuller already living together?”
Knowing that Toby had helped to answer the phone for her earlier this morning, Sonia pulled a chair over and sat on it. “No, it’s just that I stayed overnight at his place last night for a personal reason.”
“Ah.” Daphne smiled. “But you’re about to live together, right?” Then, her gaze fell to the ring on Sonia's left ring finger. The ring wasn’t there yesterday, yet it was now here after Sonia’s overnight stay at Toby’s place. It clearly meant that they had officially reconciled. Nowadays, it was common for lovers to live together, which was why she guessed that Sonia could be living with Toby. Even if they were not, it definitely wouldn’t take long for them to do so.
To be honest, she was relieved when she saw the ring on Sonia’s finger. Although it was embarrassing to admit it, Daphne was actually ecstatic to see them together. Only when they were together could Charles give Sonia up, right?
Sonia didn’t know what Daphne was thinking about. She wanted to say that it was impossible for her and Toby to live together so quickly, but she thought about the tricks that he used in order to stay overnight at her place. Then, she quickly realized that it seemed not as impossible as she thought.
After all, the probability that Toby had the cheek to make her live with him was extremely high. Thinking about this, Sonia suddenly felt a little amused. She rubbed her temples before responding, “Well, let's not talk about that for now. How was the morning meeting?”
When Daphne heard Sonia talking about business, her expression also became serious. “The morning meeting had ended early because you weren’t around, but the good thing was that it’s not a very important meeting. That was the reason why I did not ask you to rush over. Those higher-ups were not satisfied that you did not attend, but due to your identity as the current chairman, they did not say anything about it. I recorded the meeting so that you can review it later.”
