Chapter 939 Going


    From the moment she helped unwrap the gifts, she knew that whatever the gifts were woulde


    as a shock. That was not to say that it was how priceless the gifts were that was shocking to


    Daphne, as she knew the gifts would have been valuable since they were given to Sonia by Toby.


    After all, if Toby''s gifts weren''t valuable, that would turn everything Sonia knew about him upside


    down. Hence, Daphne had expected Toby''s gifts to Sonia to be priceless from the very start.


    What was truly shocking to Daphne was how she could feel Toby''s sincerity, as these gifts were just


    perfect for Sonia. For the rich, they would be satisfied with giving women something valuable and


    expensive without considering the receiver''s feelings, not to mention whether the gifts would suit the


    receiver. All they knew was just the mere act of giving gifts, as they gave no further care to the


    aspects of the action itself.


    Hence, Toby''s gifts had very well set themselves apart in this aspect, as they were not only


    priceless, but, more importantly, also showed just how well Toby knew Sonia. The numerous


    cosmetics, handbags, perfumes, and pieces of jewelry were each very exquisite to the extent that


    any woman would not be able to keep their eyes away from them. Thus, one should always strive to


    give the most suitable gifts and not just simply give for the sake of giving, as it was the sincerity


    behind the gift that would make or break a gift.


    Look at all these gifts President Fuller gave Chairman Reed. Each and every one of them are well


    thought out and suits the chairman very much. If this doesn''t win a woman over, I don''t know what


    will.


    As Sonia listened to what Daphne said, she looked at the gifts, revealing a smile on her face. "I


    guess he is quite good at winning over someone." Toby had told her that the gifts he prepared for


    her would be better than the ones he gave to Grace. Looking at the gifts, it was far better than she


    had expected. This man, she thought while shaking her head with a smile.


    Daphne was also looking at the gifts on the table. "Chairman Reed, these all should be thetest


    products, right?"


    Sonia answered yes before she further rified, "These aren''t put up for sale yet. Toby got them in


    advance." "President Fuller does indeed have that power to do so." Daphne nodded before she


    started urging, "Chairman Reed, hurry up and try them out. I''ll take a picture for you."


    "Alright." Sonia nodded. Since she had epted these gifts from Toby, she would naturally choose


    to use them. If that man caught me not using his gifts, he would be overthinking things again. After


    all, what difference would there be between her epting the gifts but never using them and never


    epting the gifts in the first ce? Hence, when Daphne offered to take a picture for her, she


    readily agreed to try out the bags and so forth.


    As a result, the two of them started ying dress-up in the office.


    After Sonia was done trying out all the gifts, she got tired and took a seat on the sofa before taking


    a drink of water.

    Daphne, who was sitting next to Sonia, was sorting out the pictures she had taken for her. When


    she was done, she handed Sonia''s phone back to her. "Chairman Reed, these pictures came out


    good. What do you think?"


    cing her drink on the table, she then took the phone and started looking through the photos


    before giving Daphne a thumbs up. "These are good. Thank you."


    "You''re too kind, Chairman Reed." Daphne smiled, albeit feeling slightly embarrassed.


    Sonia then sent a few of the best photos to Toby. However, perhaps Toby was preupied at the


    moment, as there were no replies from him after she had sent the photos. Nevertheless, she was


    not disappointed about theck of reply; she was not the kind of person to force her significant other


    —regardless of whether they were busy—to immediately reply to her message as a show of her


    significant other''s love for her.


    Furthermore, she knew that Toby would reply the moment he was done with his matters. "Alright,


    looks like you have some juicy story for your circle of secretaries now that we''re done unwrapping


    the gifts," Sonia said with a smile after she kept her phone away and sorted the gifts on the table.


    Daphne stood up with a smile on her face. "Looks like it. I''m guessing the others are now beside


    themselves with anticipation. However, it''d be much more urate to say even the employees on


    the lower floors are hoping to get news from the top floor. After all, everyone just loves gossiping


    here. It would be impossible for only the top floor employees to be curious about President Fuller''s


    gifts." "That''s true. Well, since they are dying to know about it, you should quickly let them know,"


    Sonia said wryly.


    Daphne pushed her sses up. "Understood. Then, I shall take my leave here, Chairman Reed."


    Saying that, she bowed before turning around and walking toward the door.


    However, before Daphne could even take her third step, Sonia called out to her. "Wait a minute."


    "Chairman Reed, do you have anything more to add?" Daphne asked curiously after stopping.


    Sonia''s expression gradually grew stern. "Did you hear about Rentoor breaching the contract?" she


    asked.


    Since Sonia was talking about official matters, Daphne became serious as well. "I do. Jordan has


    notified me about it." Jordan was her assistant.


    Sonia nodded. "Good. I need you to draw up a detailed table about the money thepany would


    need under the assumption that a spare part could not be recovered." In the event that Sonia


    couldn''t get the spare part back, she would have to follow Charles'' suggestion to get a loan from the


    bank. With a detailed table breaking down the cost, she would know how much the loan she needed


    from the bank was going to be.


    "Understood. I''ll hand them to you before the end of the day, Chairman Reed," Daphne replied with


    a serious expression. Since she knew that this was a serious matter, she tried not to dy the


    report.


    Satisfied, Sonia replied, "Good. Leaving it to you does put me at ease. You can leave now."


    "Take care, Chairman Reed."


    After Daphne left, Sonia rubbed her temples before she exhaled and walked over to her desk.


    Soon, everyone in thepany would know just what Toby''s gifts to her were, as Daphne, who had


    her express permission, would be spreading the news out to the others in the secretary''s office.


    From there, the secretaries would further spread the news to the various cliques. In no time at all,


    the wholepany would have caught wind of the news.


    Soon, feelings of envy filled the air of the building. Naturally, some felt sour and even angry about it,


    as not everyone would only be purely jealous about the fact Sonia had received numerous


    expensive gifts. After all, there would always be conflict wherever there were people, and it was


    only human to feel envious, as well as jealous.


    Nevertheless, however jealous they were, they could not act on it, as there was nothing they could


    do.


    Regardless, the matter of Toby''s gifts to Sonia did not merely end with the employees of Paradigm


    Co. On the contrary, the news spread like wildfire and eventually made the headlines on the


    inte. At the end of the day, humans—who could not appease their jealousy and envy—would


    wish for others to share the same negative feelings they were feeling. Thus, the employees of


    Paradigm Co. had spread it all over the inte.


    The news of Toby and Sonia caught the eyes of a number of marketing and media teams. The


    moment they noticed the news, they immediately did articles of their own with many others following


    suit. As a result of the hype created by these marketing and media teams, the news of Toby’s gifts


    to Sonia eventually became the most trending topic on the inte.


    There were manyizens that had even gone to Sonia''s profile to take a look at the photos of


    Toby''s gifts, as they wished to open their eyes to how valuable and extravagant the gifts a rich man


    would give. There were even some that had gone to Toby''s profile to leavements containing


    words like ''Honey,'' ''Darling,'' ''Sweetheart,'' and all sorts of cringeworthy endearments while asking


    for gifts as well. Anyone watching suchments would definitely squirm inside. However, that was


    still not the height of it.


    It was when the photos of the gifts were posted online by someone who imed to be an employee


    of Paradigm Co. did the hype reach its climax. At first, without the photos, everyone was merely


    shooting the breeze andughing about it. However, with the photos, each and every one of the


    netizens went into a crazed frenzy.
