I should, have known better; President Fuller behaves oddly whenever Miss Reed is involved. So, why do I seem to forget this and have to ask him about it? Now, I have to bear all of these sappy moments.
At this very moment, Tom was feeling queasy as a direct result of his boss excessive display of regard for love. It was as though he needed to ingrain it in his memory to keep from asking questions that he should not be asking in the future. If not, he would suffer emotional harm nonetheless.
I am still a single man. What if I eventually lost interest in the process of looking for a girlfriend for myself? When that day finally arrived, I would be miserable.
While pondering this, he rubbed his cheeks while simultaneously preventing a series of profanities from exiting his mouth. To preserve his professional demeanor, he smiled and asked, "President Fuller, what should we do with that old git now?"
When Toby opened the door, he was met with the sight of a large parking lot. Keeping his eyes on a nearby car, he walked toward it and said, "Keep him in for now. We will have more use for him in the future.”
"Noted," Tom said calmly.
Toby hopped in as Tom walked to the driver's side to take over. "Are we going to Paradigm Co. to see Miss Reed, President Fuller?"
"No." Toby narrowed his menacing eyes. "To Connor's hotel."
Tom's hand froze as he heard that, just as he was about to start the engine. He turned his head in astonishment. "To Connor's hotel? Are you going to meet him, President Fuller?"
Toby's rage was overlooked due to his downcast gaze. "Isn't it appropriate for me to pay my guest a visit after he's been here for so long? Furthermore, he has no right to exploit Sonia after his actions."
Even though he nodded his head in agreement, Tom was annoyed. "It is inappropriate of him to steal components from the Paradigm Co. to blackmail Miss Reed into releasing Anya. Even smaller companies do not employ such petty practices. If he weren't the head of the Salzburg Family, he could easily be mistaken for a lowly underling. How could he use such horrible measures to threaten a woman? He disgusts me."
Indeed, it was repulsive. Even though business people often resort to deceit and conspiracies, it is highly uncommon for someone to sink to the lowest of the low to take advantage of some smaller companies. Despite their superior resources and might, they reject the idea of resorting to this dishonorable solution. On the other hand, Connor does not appear to be the least bit embarrassed by his actions.
Hearing his assistant's critics, Toby slightly raised his gaze. "It’s not surprising for him to do that. The fact that he shares a past with my mother is enough to tell that he is a complete jerk."
Tom smiled sheepishly. "You're right, President Fuller. As I've expected, you're the best at criticizing a scumbag. I have more to learn from you."
Toby ignored his flattering words while looking down. "Regarding Little Leaf s components, have you found out where Connor moved them to?"
Tom kept his eyes on the road and shook his head. "Nope. Although I haven’t looked into it thoroughly, I believe it is still in Seafield. The old git from the underground reports that Miss Reed cooperated with him to purchase twenty tons of components. With such a significant quantity, it would be impossible to transport it out of the city in three days owing to the sheer number of procedures required. After discovering that Connor had taken Miss Reed's company components, I made a personnel inquiry with the various checkpoints. They informed me that no such components were being transferred out of the city, indicating that the parts are still within the city."
