After all, Sonia's image couldn't be ruined in front of outsiders and it had to be maintained at all times. Moreover, it was that kind of thing, which she couldn't allow others to notice even more; otherwise, it would be embarrassing for her.
Thinking of this, Sonia pursed her lips again.
Over there, Toby arrived at the door of the office to grab the door handle and turned it to open the locked door to reveal Tom. When Tom saw Toby, he first smiled respectfully at Toby, then raised the oversized food box in his hand. "President Fuller, your lunch with Miss Reed has arrived."
Toby's good mood instantly vanished and he had a dark face again while facing Tom. He glanced at Tom coldly before impatiently asking, "Why are you so late?"
If Tom came earlier, he would not have interrupted Toby and Sonia. However, this man came neither too soon nor too late and messed up Toby's steamy moment with Sonia. Obviously, Toby was upset at him.
When Tom saw Toby being mad at him, he was startled and blinked his eyes in confusion. "H-How is this too late? As soon as lunch arrived, I immediately brought it to you."
So, how was this late? It didn't even take half an hour, yet Toby said that he was late. Did Toby expect him to become the Flash?
Tom felt a little aggrieved, but at the same time he felt that something was wrong. He knew that Toby was not the kind of person who would say that he was late for no reason. Yet, Toby said so at this time. Thus, there must be some special reason, but what was it?
A suspicious Tom looked behind Toby. On the sofa not far behind him was Sonia sitting there and drinking elegantly, but it seemed that this elegance had a sense of oddness. It had a kind of stiff and unnatural feeling about it as if she had done something wrong and was trying her best to mask her panic and keep her composure. After all, Sonia didn't even look at Tom but kept her head down.
This was definitely not like her usual style, so he was more determined now that she was guilty of something.
Nevertheless, Tom couldn't understand what she was guilty of, so he turned his attention to Toby.
At this point, he finally found something wrong with Toby. Toby's tie was missing while the collar of his shirt was wrinkled as if it had been grabbed by someone just a moment ago. There was also some redness on his Adam's apple as if it was bitten by someone.
Wait, bitten?
Tom's eyes widened and he suddenly understood everything.
No wonder Toby looked disgruntled and said that he was late. That was because he came at the wrong time and messed up Toby's intimate session.
Realizing this, Tom was immediately embarrassed and he chuckled. "Um, President Fuller, about this lunch...”
"Put it inside." Toby turned and walked into the office without looking at him.
Tom knew that Toby didn't want to see him at the moment, so he sighed and entered with his head down. Along the way, he didn't dare to look around for fear that he would see something that he shouldn't see. After all, the two of them were having fun in the office earlier. Although he didn't know how far they went, if they had gone all the way, there would have been some strange signs in the office.
Therefore, he tried his best not to look around, lest his eyes burned at the sight. Moreover, it would be terrible if he was scolded for it too. Thinking about it, he took a deep breath and placed the food box on the coffee table. Forcing out a smile, he told Toby and Sonia, "President Fuller, Miss Reed, lunch is here. Please enjoy."
Sonia smiled politely at him. "Okay, thanks, Tom."
