Chapter 937


    Just like what the man had said, women, in general, would be pleased when receiving things such


    as clothes, shoes, bags, and cosmetics.


    Sonia was no exception.


    Nheless, Sonia hadn''t the slightest ounce of displeasure when Toby had given these gifts to


    Grace. After all, Grace was like a mother figure to her. Naturally, she, as a daughter, would be


    pleased when her mother figure was given such wonderful gifts, especially since she herself had


    inspected the gifts beforehand.


    Hence, Sonia had neither dissatisfaction nor problems with Toby giving these gifts to Grace. Neither


    had she thought of wanting these gifts for herself as well. However, she had not expected Toby to


    feel that his actions were inappropriate. Not to mention, for Toby to secretly prepare gifts that were


    much better than the ones given to Grace for her.


    Without doubt, Sonia, as a woman, had her vanity utterly satisfied at this particr moment. She


    was moved, as joy filled every corner of her heart due to the fact that the man beside her could


    have such thoughts, which in turn proved how sincere and genuine he treated her. When these


    thoughts crossed her mind, the tip of her nose gradually reddened and tears began to well up in her


    eyes.


    Looking at her red-rimmed eyes, Toby instantly panicked. "Why are you crying?" He reached his


    hands out and wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes.


    Grabbing the man''s hand that was wiping her tears, Sonia smiled tearfully. "It''s because I''m happy.


    It''s because I never thought you would prepare these for me as well."


    Relieved, Toby chuckled. "You are the love of my life. How could I just prepare gifts for others but


    not for you? While we''re on that topic, if someone else has them, you would naturally have them as


    well. Not only that, but what you have will be much better. Since the ones Mrs. Lane had were


    premium editions, the ones I''ve gotten for you are all limited editions. So, do you like them?"


    Sonia smiled at the man. "Since you''ve already said that much, wouldn''t it be insensitive if I said I


    didn''t like them? " Saying that, she immediately went toward him and embraced the man. "I love


    them. I can tell that you prepared all these sincerely. That''s why, I''m happy.


    Thank you, Toby."


    The man returned her embrace and nted a kiss on the top of her head. "As long as you''re happy.


    Then I assume you won''t refuse these gifts, right?"


    Sonia shook her head. "I''ll ept them. After all, I can tell these gifts are filled with your heart for


    me. If I reject them, wouldn''t you be sad?"


    Although he felt relieved, Toby kept his poker face and his silence. He always knew that Sonia


    would dislike him giving her expensive gifts, so he always practiced restraint when it came to her


    gifts. Otherwise, he would have practically given her a gift every day, and it would all be different


    ones at that.


    Regardless, Toby was beside himself with apprehensiveness when he prepared these gifts, as he


    was worried that Sonia would not ept them. Fortunately, she did not reject this time.


    "Want to open them now?" Toby gently released his embrace after a while.


    However, Sonia shook her head. "Nope, I won''t open them now. I''ll take them back to the office and


    slowly open them one by one. I mean, if I were to walk into the office with all these gifts with me, I''m


    sure I''ll draw a few envious eyes on me, right?"


    Ah, so she wants to brag about it. Toby chuckled before he gently brushed the bridge of her nose


    with his finger. "Alright, then bring them back to the office and slowly open them there."


    "Naturally." Sonia raised her head proudly. "I just want to tell the others that these are all gifts from


    you so that the others would know you''re a good man. A good man that treats me very, very well."


    "If you go around showing me off like this, won''t you be afraid that other women would start eyeing


    me?" Toby frowned.


    Sonia grunted in response. "There are already many women who have their eyes on you anyway,


    so what''s a few more? Not to mention, even if they do express their interest in you, you''re still going


    to be mine. Unless of course, they have the ability to steal you away from me."


    "Not a chance!" Toby immediately replied.


    Sonia smiled and said with confidence, "And that''s why I have nothing to be afraid of."


    Looking at Sonia''s confidence, Toby knew that it was due to her trust in him. This fact alone was


    enough to warm the corners of his heart.


    "Alright, it''s time for us to go back to our offices,” said Sonia after she took a few pictures of the gift-


    filled trunk with her phone.


    Toby gently petted her head. "Okay."


    Inside the car, Sonia kept fiddling with her phone and would asionallyugh to herself. Since


    Toby was never a snooping man, he didn''t ask her about it nor did he try to sneak a look, even


    though he had no idea what she was doing on her phone. However, Soniaughing piqued his


    curiosity. "What are youughing at?" "There are many enviousments on the picture I''ve just


    posted on my social media." Saying that, Sonia handed her phone over to Toby to show him the


    comments.


    After looking at thements, Toby replied, "Let them be green with envy. There''s still more to


    come." After all, to him, others should be envious of Sonia, as he would only give her the best there


    was to offer. "Alright, you should stop ying with your phone, or you''ll be dizzyter." He returned


    her phone to her before admonishing her with concern.


    Sonia knew that he was just looking out for her, which was why she didn''t brush him off and


    obediently put her phone away.


    Soon, they arrived at Paradigm Co.


    Sonia, who had rejected the man''s suggestion for him to escort her in, was walking into the building


    of Paradigm Co. with her hands full of Toby''s gifts. Unbeknownst to her, the upper floor employees


    that had seen her post had spread word about it all the way to the employees on the lower floors.


    Hence, everyone in the building knew that Toby had given her all those gifts.

    Therefore, the moment Sonia entered the building, all eyes were instantly drawn to the several bags


    she was carrying with her. Although they knew the bags contained Toby''s gifts, they did not know


    exactly what they were. Nevertheless, they had already assumed that the gifts would be valuable


    and expensive, as they knew the worth of Toby Fuller. It was because they knew Toby''s


    worth that their curiosity grew; they were interested to know what kind of extravagant gifts would a


    rich man like him bestow upon Sonia.


    Naturally, Sonia had sensed the curious eyes on her. Nevertheless, she chose neither to keep a low


    profile nor to try hiding the bags she had, but to deliberately hold the bags higher— as though she


    was on a shopping spree—by holding the bags over her shoulders before she paraded over toward


    the elevator.


    It was only when the elevator Sonia was in had its door closed did the employees—who had their


    eyes glued on her ever since she entered the building—dare to speak up boldly.


    "See? President must''ve done that on purpose."


    "That''s so true." One of the employees nodded approvingly. "The president must have lifted those


    bags up high to show them off to us." "Ahhh, the president is so mean. Just because she finally got


    herself a man doesn''t mean she should be showing off to us singletons.”


    "Right?"


    "But, I am curious to know just what President Fuller had given to our president for her to be this


    smug."


    "I want to know too. Should we ask around about it?"


    "But, who do we ask?"


    The moment the question was asked, the gossipers became silent. After all, the employees here


    were all at the lowest level. To seek the answer to their question, they would have to ask the


    employees on the top floor, as only the employees there would have some contact with Sonia. The


    only problem was that they didn''t have the opportunity to make friends with the employees on the


    top floor.


    Although Sonia, who was in the elevator currently, was not privy to the details of the lower floor


    employees'' conversation, she knew that they would gossip about her. Regardless, she held no


    interest in the details of the gossip, as she had achieved what she wanted to do—to show off the


    gifts.


    Upon entering her office, she ced the gifts on the sofa, nning to open them after she had


    checked her schedule, as she wanted to open the gifts with peace of mind. After checking that there


    wasn’t anything important for today''s schedule, Sonia felt relieved and went over to the sofa.


    However, just when Sonia was about to open the first of the gifts, there was a knock on her office


    door. She then stopped what she was doing and turned her attention to the door. "Come in."


    In the next instance, the door opened with Daphne entering the office.


    Sonia was surprised the moment she saw who it was, and she immediately stood up before asking,


    "Miss Daphne? Why are you here? Shouldn''t you be in the hospital for your surgery today?"
