Chapter 1223 Her Lipstick Stain

It almost looks like Sonia wants nobody to find out what she just did, but she didn’t do anything wrong in the car, did she? At the thought of that, Toby raised his eyebrows, thinking he should put it behind him and drive off after failing to figure out the reason behind Sonia’s strange reaction. However, little did he know that the lipstick print was still clearly noticeable on his cheek, if only he would look in the rear mirror.

Nevertheless, Toby was too engrossed with his eyes fixed upon the road. Furthermore, since there were no other cars behind, there was really no reason for him to look at his rear mirror, which was why the lipstick mark had remained unnoticed even until he arrived at the Fuller Group.

After parking his car, he unbuckled himself just as the valet came to open the car door. “President Fuller.” The valet bowed to Toby politely and greeted him, one hand on the door with the other one on the edge of the door frame.

Toby replied with a grunt and bent over to step out of the vehicle, whereupon he tossed his car keys to the valet for him to park his car. As soon as the valet got the keys, he immediately sat in the driver’s seat, but when he straightened his body, the lipstick kiss mark on Toby’s cheek immediately caught his attention. “President Fuller, your…” The valet was stunned.

“What’s the matter? “Toby’s brows furrowed.

Intimidated by the indifferent man, the valet had no idea what to say as he only shook his head and said, “N-Nothing.”

“Go ahead and park my car then.” Toby fixed his suit and demanded.

The valet responded affirmatively while peeping at the mark on Toby’s face. At the same time, he pursed his lips in an attempt to keep a straight face without laughing. Afraid that Toby would see through him, he quickly kept his head down and closed the car door before driving off. On the other hand, Toby, who was standing in place, stepped forward to the building’s entrance after he fixed his suit.

“Greetings, President Fuller.”

“Good day, President Fuller.” The employees, whom Toby came across, stopped by to greet him.

Despite Toby’s indifference toward his employees, he wouldn’t usually leave them in the cold and ignore their greetings. Instead, he would either respond with a nod or a grunt to signify his respect for them. Hearing his response, his employees would usually walk away and attend to their work without sticking around him for too long. Nonetheless, they somehow stayed behind this time, even after hearing Toby’s response, looking at him with surprised looks on their faces, as if there was something strange about him.

Soon, Toby began to feel puzzled when he noticed the reaction from the employees around him. Thinking about the valet’s similar reaction he had met earlier, he couldn’t help but wonder what was going wrong. I might be overthinking if only one or two of them acted strangely, but why is everybody reacting like I’m some alien that doesn’t belong to this planet?

At the thought of that, he squinted, growing curious to find out what was wrong with him. However, he didn’t give in to his curiosity and ask them, but he decided to find out by himself when he returned to the office instead.

After all, Toby wanted to protect his reputation by playing it cool without showing his curiosity, thinking he would no longer be the calm superior he had always been to his employees should he do the opposite. Therefore, the man quickly scurried toward the elevator without saying anything and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
