Chapter 779 Seeing Toby Making a Fool of Himself
Documents? Sonia’s expression froze as she suddenly realized that the person was a business thief. Taking advantage of Toby’s absence, he sneaked into Toby’s office to steal some documents.
As for who Mr. Lore was…
She frowned and thought about it before she suddenly remembered that Toby had called Tom once and mentioned this person before.
Apparently, it was an old shareholder of the Fuller Group and Mr. Lore was around way before the Fuller Group achieved its current standing. He did not want to be a silent shareholder who only raked in the money without caring about anything else. Instead, he wanted to be a hands-on shareholder with real power and who could threaten Toby’s position in the company.
Therefore, when Toby called Tom, his expression was terrible because Mr. Lore had sabotaged him. Although it did not cause any substantial harm to Toby, it was enough to make Toby annoyed for some time.
Since Sonia was Toby’s girlfriend, she naturally did not have a good impression of those who were enemies with Toby.
Thus, the Mr. Lore whom the thief mentioned was probably the same one that Toby spoke of on the phone the other day.
Since she had stumbled across the thief, she naturally had to help Toby.
So, Sonia looked at the phone in her hand and pursed her red lips.
As the thief outside was still rummaging and banging things, she didn’t dare to head out because she was afraid that he would discover that there was someone in the office and then kill her or something.
She felt that she was not really thinking too much because this kind of thing had really happened before in the business world. After all, some people could become ruthless for money, power and fame.
Therefore, for her own safety, she decided to remain where she was!
Sonia tightly clenched her phone and stood quietly behind the bathroom door, trying her best not to move or make a sound so as not to be discovered by the thief.
After a long time, the man still didn’t seem to locate what he wanted in the end. Cursing Toby for being extremely cunning, he stopped moving things around and the room fell silent.
Sonia felt that the thief had probably left because she heard the door closing earlier. Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, saved the recording, and gently opened the bathroom door.
She didn’t open the door all at once, but only a small crack first before she secretly peeked through the gap. After confirming that there was indeed no one outside, she breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door wide.
As she walked into the office, she lightly patted her chest where her heart was racing before she locked the door of Toby’s office. Finally, she opened Messenger, ready to tell Toby what had just happened.
After all, this kind of thing was not a trivial matter. She was afraid that she would forget if she waited until his meeting was over.
Having typed the matter out to Toby in detail, Sonia then sat on the sofa to calm down. “Phew…”
She took out a piece of tissue and wiped her face. God knew how nervous and frightened she had been earlier! Cold sweat had broken out on her forehead with chills running down her spine too.
Sonia had always known that the business world was like a battlefield, and there were all kinds of individuals in a company. Paradigm Co. too had scum like Asher Dafoe, let alone such a massive company like the Fuller Group where there would be no shortage of scumbags.
However, it never occurred to her that she would encounter it as soon as she came. The situation earlier had been grave and she didn’t dare to even breathe for fear of being discovered.
Fortunately, in the end, the person was merely looking for something in Toby’s office area and didn’t search the other rooms. Otherwise, something bad would have happened if Sonia was discovered.
Rubbing her brows, Sonia glanced at her phone that was placed on the coffee table. The screen of the phone was black and there was no reply from Toby, but she was not in a hurry either.
Toby was still in a meeting at this time; he might not have had his phone on him, so naturally he would not be able to instantly read her messages. After he was done, he would attend to all of them. Anyway, she had already told him before she forgot about it.
On the other side, in the conference room situated in the Fuller Group, Toby was standing in front of the big screen, and holding a laser pointer in his hand. He was telling the others what needed to be improved in the project planning during the meeting.
