Chapter 1262 It’s Anya
The ladies were giving the girl in the wheelchair weird looks. Looks of disdain. Of scorn. To them, this woman was nothing but a gold digger wishing to marry into a rich family. Such women would gain nothing but contempt from them, not to mention the woman was someone who couldn’t even stand up on her own two feet. In most cases, they wouldn’t look down on those with disabilities.
However, their circle could be ableist when it came to marriage. They didn’t think this cripple was a worthy match for Toby. She was even worse than Sonia, for goodness’ sake. At least Sonia has fully functional limbs. But this woman has nothing, and she’s a cripple. She has no right to approach President Fuller. They’d rather see Toby marry Sonia than have this woman talk to him.
One of the ladies suddenly asked, “Does anyone have Sonia’s number? Call her right now. Tell her some wench is hitting on President Fuller.”
“We don’t have her number. Not like we’re friends with her.”
“Yeah. We should get a waiter to do this for us instead.”
“Alright. Get a waiter, then.”
A server came to them a while later. The ladies embellished the story and told him to tell Sonia about it. The server nodded and looked at Toby for a moment before he went to do his job.
Sonia had no idea that the ladies who were jealous of her dating Toby just became ardent supporters of her relationship with Toby just because of another woman hitting on him. They even went as far as to help her out, too. Yet, she had not the slightest idea of it as she was currently chatting with the host.
Even Toby had no idea a woman was trying to hit on him. He closed his eyes and sipped on his wine, enjoying the moment of peace. However, the moment he heard the sound of a wheelchair, he stopped twirling his glass altogether. Apparently, the wheelchair’s appearance had soured his mood.
Still, he didn’t open his eyes. He thought someone was just passing through. This wasn’t his turf, after all. Everyone made it look like it was, but that didn’t mean nobody could pass through his vicinity.
As long as they didn’t disturb him, he wouldn’t care even if they passed through his vicinity. Since he thought the person was just passing by, he didn’t think he had to open his eyes to check who it was.
However, he soon realized his guess was wrong. The person wasn’t passing by. They were coming toward him. The sound of the wheelchair was getting louder, and he could smell the scent coming off that person. It’s a woman.
Toby’s face fell. This woman’s appearance soured his mood once more. Probably another lady trying to hit on me. Ignored what I said and came to me, eh?
He didn’t think all women would fall for him, but as long as he was the most powerful man in the city, he knew most women would want to date him. And he knew it was not for love, but for power, money, and status instead.
