Chapter 1185 Put the Blame on Others
Sonia knew Toby like the back of her hand. So, she knew that he loved to shower her with affection and then push his chances for something more.
Now that she had kissed him, if she stayed put until he regained his composure, he would definitely kiss her back and directly aim for her lips. Moreover, he would not let her go until he had enough. Therefore, she had to seize the chance and make her escape to freedom.
Thus, she quickly opened the door, got out of the car, and closed the door. It took her less than a minute to do it, and the whole process was smooth and swift. She had always maintained the mantra ‘slow and steady wins the race’. Hence, judging from her speedy actions, it just indicated how ‘frightened’ she was about how he showed his affection.
Still, after Sonia got out of the car, she looked through the window and waved with a smile. The window was tinted, and she couldn’t see him clearly, but it didn’t stop her from waving her goodbyes before walking around the back of the car and toward Paradigm Co.
Toby, who was inside the vehicle, finally snapped back to his senses. He touched his cheek and looked at the empty seat beside him. Then, he abruptly turned to look out the window and saw Sonia’s figure rounding the rear of the car.
He knew that she was walking to the office, so he quickly wound down his window.
She happened to hear the sound of the window lowering, so she instinctively halted her movements and turned to look. Toby’s handsome face greeted her as their eyes met.
“You escaped after you kissed me, huh?” Toby opened his lips and teased in a low and pleasant voice.
“Of course!” Sonia grinned. “If I waited any longer, you might kiss me back and not let me leave, am I right?”
A trace of guilt flashed across his eyes because she was correct in her assumption. He coughed lightly and blurted, “No, I wouldn’t do that.”
“Yeah, right! Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking?” Sonia crossed her arms and huffed. Then, she smiled brightly. “Hurry up and go. Goodbye! See you tonight.” She waved at him again.
Toby knew that it was impossible to ask her to come back and kiss her other cheek, let alone kiss her more passionately. He sighed under his breath, and the disappointment on his face was apparent. “Bye. See you tonight.”
She knew precisely why he was disappointed as she noticed the forlorn expression on his face. She rolled her eyes in exasperation and continued to saunter toward Paradigm Co.
Toby did not roll up the window and ordered Tom to drive away. Instead, he kept looking at her as she strode forward. It wasn’t until she entered the Paradigm Co. building that he rolled up the window and knocked on the partition.
Tom, who was behind the wheel, heard the knock and knew that it was Toby’s silent order for him to drive. He immediately started the car and lowered the partition with a grin. “Mr. Fuller, it took Miss Reed quite some time to get out of the car. I bet you guys spent a long time saying your goodbyes, huh?”
Well, what he meant by ‘saying goodbyes’ was the physical intimacy between a couple, such as kissing, hugging, and whatnot.
However, Toby was not in the mood to respond to Tom’s teasing. Instead, he glared at him with a cold expression and hissed, “Your bonus for this month is deducted by half.”
“What?!” Tom gasped in utter bewilderment, and his expression changed radically. “Why?”
Wait a minute! Why does Mr. Fuller want to deduct my bonus?! He should give him an increment, shouldn’t he?
