Chapter 642


    At that moment, Sonia was stunned. Her eyes widened and she couldn’t quite react just then.


    Meanwhile, Tom, who was in the driver’s seat, didn’t expect his casual nce in the rearview mirror


    to reveal such a scene. And so, he took a deep breath and quickly operated the divider upward as


    he kept his eyes focused on the road.


    Gosh! I’d better be on my game. If President Fuller realizes it, I’ll definitely get told off! At the very


    least, my workload is going to increase, and the worst would be having my bonus deducted! I have


    to say, though, it’s quite tempting to take a peek. I’m quite impressed that President Fuller actually


    has the courage to forcefully kiss Miss Reed. This would not have been possible in the past!


    Indeed, Miss Reed''s eptance to get back together with President Fuller has definitely boosted


    his courage! Tom thought to himself as he smacked his lips.


    In the backseat, Sonia finally came back to her senses after some time and she shoved Toby aside.


    Holding a hand over her lips, she red at him. “Toby Fuller, how dare—"


    “Is it sweet?” Toby touched his thin lips with his thumb and asked in a hoarse voice.


    Just then, Sonia finally realized that there was something in her mouth. She touched it with her


    tongue and realized that it was the candy.


    He had actually transferred the piece of candy into her mouth.


    Gosh, I might have choked to death on that candy if I had actually swallowed it by ident! Sonia


    red at him with a disgruntled look on her face and she turned in the other direction, the tip of her


    ears red from embarrassment.


    Never in a million years did she expect that this was what Toby meant when he said that she should


    taste the candy. Indeed, his behavior was as roguish as his tititing words, and he seemed to have


    endless moves which made one unintentionally lower their guard. At that thought, Sonia moved her


    lips and coughed slightly. “It tastes alright. I''ve got to go.” With that, she hurriedly opened the car


    door and rushed out.


    Meanwhile, Toby wound down the window and poked his head out of the window. “Sonia, can I


    come over again to your ce tonight?”


    Upon hearing that, Sonia turned around and said, “No.” With that, she walked off toward the


    elevators.


    Just then, Toby shook his head with a smile. No? Well then, I’ll still go''. I don’t believe that she


    would kick me out if I were at her doorstep.


    “Let’s go.” Toby knocked on the divider.


    Although Tom couldn’t hear Toby, the former felt the vibration from the divider so he hazarded a


    guess. Subsequently, Tom started the ignition and drove off in the opposite direction.


    On the other end, Sonia sucked on the candy in her mouth and she had a slightly resigned look on


    her face.


    Logically, the candy had been in someone else’s mouth before this, so she should spit it out as it


    was quite unhygienic. However, she had already kissed Toby so thoroughly earlier. This was just a


    piece of candy and it didn’t seem that uneptable at that point.


    Soon enough, Sonia came to the elevator and she pressed the button to open the door.


    The elevator was on its way down and she waited patiently while staring at the disy screen.


    Suddenly, someone carrying a camera leaped out from behind a car.


    “Chairman Reed!”


    Startled, Sonia turned back to look in that direction and she noticed that the guy was obviously a


    reporter. A frown on her immacte brows.


    What''s going on ? Didn’t Toby arrange for someone to get rid of all of the reporters waiting at


    Paradigm Co. ? Why is there another one here?


    The man seemed to be able to tell what was on in Sonia’s mind and he chuckled. “I grabbed the


    opportunity to hide behind a car when the security guards came over to kick us out, so I was lucky


    to be able to stay on.”


    Sonia narrowed her eyes when she heard that. “So that’s why—you’re quite lucky indeed.”


    “Yeah! I’ve finally managed to get hold of you, Chairman Reed.” The reporter directed his camera at


    Sonia as he spoke. “Can I ask you a few questions? Have you actually reconciled with President


    Fuller of the Fuller Group, who is your ex-husband?”


    “Sorry but I’ve got noments for the time being.” With a deepening frown, Sonia stared at the


    elevator disy screen, which showed that the elevator was currently on the tenth floor.


    Meanwhile, the reporter was evidently displeased with her reply, so he continued to interrogate her,


    “Chairman Reed, you didn’t answer my question but you didn’t deny it either. Does that mean that


    you’ve indeed reconciled with your ex-husband?”


    Sonia pursed her lips but decided to remain silent.


    As soon as the reporter noticed her silence, he was even more convinced that he was right, and he


    suddenly became quite excited as he moved closer to her with the microphone. “Chairman Reed,


    why did you and President Fuller decide to get back together? A few months ago, didn’t you speak


    up at the press conference regarding the mental abuse and mistreatment you suffered at the hands


    of the Fuller Family? Didn’t you also mention that President Fuller did not love you at all? Why are


    you now running into the rings of fire and reconciling with him? Do you intend to go back to the


    previous tormenting lifestyle?”


    Sonia’s expression turned thunderous. Though she didn’t like being interrogated by the reporter,


    she had to admit that she had mentioned those words before.


    However, that was before she knew that she would go through so much with Toby. Furthermore, she


    hadn’t expected herself to fall back into love with Toby someday.


    Looking back, Sonia’s words were indeed quite ironic.


    “Chairman Reed, why aren’t you answering the questions? Do you feel embarrassed?” The reporter


    inched closer.


    Just then, the elevator finally arrived.


    At that point, Sonia was very happy and she instantly walked into the elevator as soon as the door


    opened. The reporter trailed after her upon seeing that. “Chairman Reed, please answer my


    questions. Did that car which you arrived in earlier belong to President Fuller? Was he inside the


    car? Were you guys together the whole time since yesterday afternoon after leaving together in the


    car? Did you two—"


    “That’s enough, sir!” Sonia could no longer stand his words and she pressed the button to shut the


    doors of the elevator. Meanwhile, she looked at him coldly. “This is Paradigm Co. and if you


    continue trying to shove your way inside, don’t me me if I call the cops on you. I’ll press charges


    on you for trespassing on private property and being a threat to public safety.”


    Perhaps it was because of Sonia’s stern and domineering voice, or perhaps it was the threat of the


    police that caused the reporter to eventually retreat and no longer tried to force his way into the


    elevator.


    Sonia heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that. Subsequently, she pressed the button to shut the


    doors.


    The doors to the elevator slowly slid shut as she tiredly massaged her temples. What’s with all this?


    Soon, the elevator arrived at the


    topmost level.

    As soon as she walked out of the elevator, her cell phone rang.


    Sonia didn’t even bother to look at her phone and she answered the call directly by cing the


    phone by her ears. “Hello, Sonia speaking.”


    “Sonia, is the news on the Inte true or not? Have you actually reconciled with Toby?” Zane’s


    frantic voice rang out from the phone as he questioned her.


    Meanwhile, Sonia made her way toward her office while murmuring, “More or less.”


    Zane’s expression darkened the moment he heard her reply. So it''s true! He had seen the news


    earlier this morning when he turned on hisputer. Initially, he had scoffed upon seeing the


    headlines as he found it pretty much impossible.


    Although Sonia had fallen in love with Toby once again, she hadn’t realized her own feelings so


    before she realized it, there was no way on earth she would get back together with Toby.


    However, Zane started to have doubts upon seeing the photo attached to the news.


    Though the photo was quite grainy, he could clearly see that she was smiling at Toby, and her smile


    looked very natural and tender too.


    Her smile clearly wasn’t meant for a normal friend, but it was specifically for her lover. That was


    because Zane had seen it way too often on his dad’s face each time he looked at his mom.


    As such, he hurriedly called Sonia to verify the news of whether they had actually gotten back


    together.


    At that instance, Sonia’s reply had caused his heart to sink.


    “When did this happen?” Zane opened his mouth slightly and it took him some effort to ask her with


    a slightly hoarse voice.


    Meanwhile, Sonia didn’t quite understand why he had such a reaction, but she didn’t think too much


    of it. She merely replied, “A few days ago, I guess. I promised to get back together with him but our


    official reconciliation will be in a few more days.”


    Although Zane didn’t understand why their official reconciliation had to take a few more days, the


    words ‘promised to get back together with him’ were in fact already quite hard for him to ept.


    During this period, the Colemans had been busy handling their political opponent, which were the


    Waces, and both parties fought quite hard. As such, Zane had been extremely busy so he had no


    time to seek Sonia out.
