She took the breakfast and said thanks to the waiter. Sonia closed the door and went back to have her food. The breakfast was as big as usual, and it was all her favorite. He really remembers what I like, huh? Sonia thought as she ate. Despite how great the breakfast was, she felt that Toby's absence took away some of the enjoyment.
She massaged her forehead and sighed. It hasn't been too long, and I'm already missing him just because he's not around for breakfast. At this rate, will I lose all my appetite just because he isn't around? No, no, no. She shook her head. I can't let this happen. She patted her cheeks.
She was fine with missing him, but not to the point it controlled her. If they were to break up in that state, she would lose everything. She must not lose herself and feel demotivated just because Toby was not around for a while. I can't become a girl who can't do anything without him. I should be more rational about this.
True love was cherishing your partner while they were around and doing your own thing while they were not. Staying calm at all times was key. Losing all motivation to do anything while they were gone would be dangerous. I should put him aside for now. He'll be back at night, and we can spend a lot of time together then. Now that he’s working, I should get to work too. Love is important, but work takes priority.
If she were to lose love, at least she would still have her career. If she put love before her career, she would be left with nothing if the love was gone. Sonia took a deep breath and put Toby aside for now. She finished her breakfast and took a shower. She then got changed and went out.
Right after she came out of the complex, a man in a black suit suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood before her. "A minute, Miss Reed."
Sonia looked at the man, a frown furrowing her brows. "And you are?"
The man seemed like an ordinary Joe in a suit and glasses, and he had a professional smile on his face. He looked like Tom, and Sonia thought he must be someone's assistant. "Hello, Miss Reed. Allow me to introduce myself." He adjusted his glasses. "I'm Xander Little, and I came here on my employer's orders. He wants to see you."
"Your employer?" Her frown deepened. "Who is he? Why does he want to see me?"
Xander was still smiling. "His surname is Salzburg. I think you can guess who he is, Miss Reed."
Salzburg? Sonia froze up for a moment, and a name popped into her mind. Connor? Her eyes widened, and she looked at Xander in shock.
The look on Xander’s face did not change, though there was a mysterious air about his smile now. "I see you know who he is. Yes, he's the head of Westsanshire's Salzburg Family—Mr. Connor Salzburg. Miss Reed, if you may. He's right outside the neighborhood." Xander extended his arm outward, inviting Sonia to go with him. He seemed demanding though, apparently telling her that she had to go whether she liked it or not.
