    Chapter 555 stic Surgery


    She remembered that she never asked for a nket before taking the pill and going to sleep.


    So, this nket must be something that he got for her.


    Just as Sonia had expected, Toby nodded. “It was me. I was afraid that you’d catch a cold, so I asked the


    air stewardess for nkets.”


    When she heard that, she felt warmth spreading in her heart. “Thank you.”


    “You’re wee. Are you able to walk?” Toby asked while he looked at her.

    She looked a little weak when she got up from the chair.


    So, he was worried that she wouldn’t be able to walk.


    Sonia moved her feet. “I think so. I’m still a little tired from the pill, but the longer I keep myself awake,


    the lesser the effects will be. I’ll be fine.”


    “That’s good to know. Let’s go.” Toby took Sonia’s bag.


    Sonia thought that he took her purse so that she could carry it on her shoulder with ease.


    However, a momentter, she witnessed Toby slinging the bag over his own shoulder instead.


    Toby was a man of six-feet-three in height; he was even in smart attire, which radiated a proud president


    vibe.


    The powerful-looking president was carrying a woman’s small purse on his shoulder, which didn’t make


    him look cool anymore. Instead, he looked a littleical.


    Sonia couldn’t help but burst intoughter.


    Toby looked at her. “What’s wrong?”


    “No… Nothing.” She hastily waved her hands in denial before she reached for her bag. “President Fuller,


    let me carry the bag.”


    “It’s fine, I’ll hold it for you. Let’s go.” He declined her offer.


    She raised an eyebrow. “This is my purse, so I can’t trouble you with it. President Fuller, please just


    return it to me.”


    “I want to carry it for you.” Toby looked at her. “I heard that men always carry their girlfriend’s bag. Even


    though we’re not in that sort of rtionship yet, I can still do what boyfriends do.”


    Sonia blushed. “Since you have said that a boyfriend will carry their girlfriend’s bag, are you doing this


    because you think we’ll be together in the future?”


    “Of course!” His thin lips curved into a smile. “I have the confidence, and I also have the feeling that we’ll


    be together in the near future.”


    With that, he walked toward the door.


    She looked at his back and pouted. “Quit saying nonsense, for that’s impossible!”


    However, she didn’t vocalize her thoughts. She didn’t know why she chose to mumble those words


    instead, which made her look like shecked the slightest bit of confidence.


    Outside the airport, Toby was looking at the car which came to pick him up. “Where will you be staying?”


    Sonia nced at her phone as she responded, “My friend has arranged a ce for me to stay. You?”


    He replied, “Hotel.”


    She nodded. “I see. We’re going separate ways then.”


    Toby was silent. So, she epted the amodation that the bridal couple had arranged.


    Had he known about it, he wouldn’t have declined the offer. He would have merely epted it on the


    basis that he would be staying close to Sonia right now.


    The regret in Toby’s heart was so deep that his expression darkened in an instant.


    At this moment, Sonia saw someone holding a card with her name written on it. She hastily turned to


    bid Toby adieu. “President Fuller, I see the person who’s here to pick me up. I’ll take my leave now.”


    With that, she walked toward the person holding the sign, her luggage trailing behind her.


    Toby watched as Sonia approached the said person before exchanging a few words and entering the


    car. He pursed his thin lips before he fished out his phone to make a phone call. “It’s me. Arrange some


    ce for me to stay.”


    The person on the other end of the line was stunned. “A ce to stay? Didn’t you already decline the


    offer?”


    “Quit nagging and get to work at this instance. I want to stay right across or next to a certain someone.”


    “Who is it?”


    Toby said Sonia’s name and immediately hung up as he was about to enter his vehicle before the callee


    could even say no.


    A few minutester, Toby received a message with an address and a house number.


    He smiled in satisfaction when he saw the line of numbers.


    Meanwhile, Sonia had arrived at the ce arranged for her—it was a small vi courtesy of her friend’s


    fiance.


    After Sonia settled in, she prepared to head out and purchase some medicine for a hangover in


    anticipation of the heavy drinking that would ensue during the wedding banquet when she received a call


    from her friend.


    Her friend had informed her that the vi would be expecting another visitor who would be staying with


    her and it was a man.


    When Sonia heard that, she frowned.


    Initially, the said friend had assured that the vi was hers alone and there was no arrangement for


    others to stay there.


    Now that she had changed her mind and even arranged for a man toe to the vi, it made Sonia feel


    a little ufortable.


    No matter how ufortable she felt, she could only go along with the new arrangements.


    After all, this vi wasn’t hers, so its owner naturally had the final say as to who was allowed to stay in


    the vi.


    All Sonia could do right now to persevere.


    Fortunately, she was only staying for two nights, so she only had to exercise more caution and protect


    herself for the entire duration.


    With that thought in mind, Sonia rxed a little as she kept her phone away and headed out.


    The sky had darkened considerably by the time she obtained the medicine.


    Now that Sonia had her medicine in hand, she prepared to return to the vi where she would change


    into her evening dress to attend the wedding banquet.


    As soon as she walked out of the pharmacy, she ran into someone walking toward her.


    “Ow…” Sonia frowned and staggered a few steps backward upon the impact.


    The other person had it worse, for they fell to the ground on their backside.


    When she saw that, Sonia quickly steadied herself. After rubbing her aching shoulder, she strode over


    and reached out with a hand toward the person while apologizing, “Sorry. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean it.


    Are you okay?”


    The person was about to fly into rage, but when they heard Sonia’s voice, their eyes widened under their


    hat. As a result of that, they immediately looked up to meet her gaze.


    Upon seeing Sonia, the stranger clenched their hand that was under therge sleeve as their body


    shook ever so slightly. It IS her! Why is she here?


    Now that she saw the stranger on the floor looking at her without saying anything, she was a little


    puzzled. Is there something wrong with my face? Why is this person staring at me?


    As she thought that, Sonia bent down and prepared to ask whether there’s something wrong with her


    face. However, she suddenly saw the person’s face and a look of surprise flitted across her eyes.


    Like a mummy, the person’s face was wrapped in bandages.


    Of course, it was a human because mummies wouldn’t exist in this day and time.


    However, there was only one possibility for someone to have their face wrapped in bandages—they must


    have undergone stic surgery.


    No wonder the person was dressed like they were on guard—they wore a scarf and a hat in addition to


    wrapping themselves up to hide their bandaged face.


    Sonia didn’t have much of an opinion on stic surgeries since she believed that everyone had their own


    right to pursue beauty.


    As such, her surprise was quickly reced by her calm expression as she gave an apologetic smile.


    “Sorry, did you get hurt?”


    She was afraid that the earlier impact would affect the stranger’s face.


    If anything happened, she wouldn’t be able topensate for the injuries sustained.


    The person lowered their head, as if they never heard Sonia.


    Upon seeing that, Sonia secretly sighed in relief.


    The person’s face must have been fine by the looks of their behavior.


    If not, they wouldn’t have remained so calm.


    “Um… Are you able to get up?” Sonia reached out with a hand toward the person again, meaning to help


    them on their feet.


    However, when they saw her hand, they gritted their teeth and reached out to p her hand away.


    “Ahhhh!” There was searing pain on the back of Sonia’s hand as she quickly retracted her hand. When


    she looked at the spot on her hand where the stranger had pped it, she drew in a sharp breath. Gosh,


    it’s reddening.


    The amount of force that the person had packed into the p was obviously deep.


    Apart from that, Sonia even felt some hatreding from the person when they pped her.


    She was puzzled. She didn’t even know who this person was, so why would they hate her with such


    vengeance?


    As Sonia was about to ask, the person suddenly rose from the ground and red at her before turning


    around to flee the scene.
