Chapter 1276 Finally Meeting
“Shoot, she did that?!” Lynette’s plan stumped Sonia. “Who allowed the ones guarding the Lores to let people in?!” Toby hit the roof.
Knowing they were in the wrong, Tom answered, “You just said not to let them out, President. But you didn’t say other people couldn’t go in. So, Lynette used the loophole to get away.”
So, it’s my fault?! Toby turned grimmer by the second, making Sonia snigger. “Is Mr. Lore still inside?” Toby asked while rubbing his temples.
“He is.” Tom nodded. “Only one server went in, so only one could leave. Since Lynette ran away, Mr. Lore had to stay.”
“Right,” Toby replied. “From now on, I don’t want anyone else going in or out until I get there. Get the food and drinks ready for Mr. Lore, and also have someone check on him every ten minutes. I want him safe and sound.”
“Yes, sir.” Tom nodded in acknowledgment. He knew well that Toby didn’t really mean ‘safe and sound’ but rather that Mr. Lore wasn’t using his life to threaten anyone.
“Also, find another two people to guard the door and send the ones originally keeping watch back to security school to work on their vision. What use do I have for them when they can’t even tell the wrong person left the door?!” Toby ordered through gnashed teeth.
Tom, too, agreed with Toby. It was indeed time to send them back to security school when they couldn’t even tell Lynette had passed by them. “Understood. I’ll get to it right away, but Lynette…”
“She’ll definitely come to the banquet. Have someone find her,” Toby ordered. “Yes, sir.”
“One more thing.” Toby narrowed his eyes. Tom listened quietly as Toby gave his order. “Tina went to Kosovo?!” Tom exclaimed in shock.
“It’s a fact yet to be verified. So, these are your next tasks,” said Toby plainly.
“Understood, sir.” Toby turned solemn. “I’ll send people over right away, and Westsanshire, too.”
Toby ended the call with a hum, then put the phone down and reached for the wine. However, Sonia placed her hand over the glass.
“What is it?” The man looked at her with bafflement.
“Don’t drink anymore,” said Sonia as she pushed the glass further. “You’ve already had a lot. You’re going to get drunk if you keep at it. Have some of this.”
She poured half of her juice out and handed it to him, who smiled as he looked at the juice in the wine glass. “Alright, no more wine. You’re the boss. I’ll have this.”
“Props to you.” With that, she ate a piece of fruit using the expensive-looking fork, then put it down and stood up after she was done.
“Where are you going?” Toby looked up at her.
“The washroom. I’ve had too much juice,” answered Sonia as she grabbed her bag.
“I’ll go with you,” Toby suggested as he put the glass down.
“You want to go into the women’s bathroom with me?” She rolled her eyes at him.
“I’ll wait outside,” announced Toby as he stood up.
“No need.” Sonia found it ridiculous. “I’m not a child that needs attending to. Besides, there are so many people here. It wouldn’t be good if someone caught you waiting outside the women’s washroom. Alright, just wait for me here. I’ll be back in a sec.”
With that, she made her way to the washroom.
Meanwhile, Toby’s gaze turned enigmatic as he watched her saunter away, and he picked up the glass of juice to take another sip.
At the washroom, Sonia reapplied her lipstick at the bathroom vanity after doing her business.
