Chapter 749


    Chapter 749 Jessica Wants to See You


    Deep down, Tom was aware of Toby’s insecurities even after Toby rekindled the old mes with Sonia,


    as she still appeared to reject him somehow. Therefore, he believed Toby should probably feel more


    uplifted and confident now that he had managed to win Sonia overpletely.


    As Tom had anticipated, Toby curled his lips upward upon hearing his congrattions. “Alright, that’s


    enough. What’s there to congratte me for? After all, what we did was nothing umon,” Toby said


    as he barely hid hiscency.


    Tom rolled his eyes upward in a speechless manner but still responded with a smiling face. “Of course,


    President Fuller.”


    “By the way, why did you call up?” Toby asked and continued to say, “I told you I won’t be in the office


    today, so don’t bother looking for me for anything because I’ll only be back to look into them tomorrow.”


    “I know, but I must tell you this because it’s not about ourpany’s affair but Jessica.” Tom sounded


    serious.


    As soon as Toby heard Jessica’s name, he sat up straight and showed a keen interest. “Really?


    Jessica?”


    “Yeah.” Tom nodded. “I got a call from the police station this morning and was told that Jessica would like


    to see you.”


    “What?” Toby knitted his eyebrows. “She wants to see me?”


    “Yeah.”


    “Are you sure Little Leaf is not the one she wants to see?” Toby had no idea why Jessica wanted to see


    him because there was nothing personal between him and her. Instead, he reckoned Sonia should be


    the one she wanted to see before going to jail.


    “I’m pretty sure it’s not Miss Reed she wants to see because that was not what the officer said. In fact, I


    was surprised after confirming with the caller because you’re indeed the one Jessica wants to see, not


    Sonia,” Tom replied.

    Toby pursed his lips. “Alright, I heard you. By the way, did Jessica mention why she wanted to see me?”


    “Yeah, she did.” Tom nodded. “The police said Jessica wants to see you for something about Miss Reed,


    so I called to inform you about the matter.” Tom knew Toby would be interested in learning anything


    about Sonia, or he would have turned Jessica down on his behalf in the first ce.


    After all, Jessica had nothing to do with Toby at all, and Tom wouldn’t have mentioned her request to his


    boss. However, the situation became different when Sonia was involved.


    “About Sonia?” Toby squinted warily. “Did she say what it was about?”


    “No, she didn’t, and the police weren’t sure about it either. After all, Jessica’s political rights were not


    stripped of her, and she has the right to maintain silence.” Tom helplessly asked, “So, would you like to


    meet her, President Fuller?”


    Toby grunted in a ponderous manner as he jutted his chin. “Tell the police I’ll be there tomorrow. I want to


    hear what thatdy has to say.”


    “Alright.” Tom nodded and continued to say, “In that case, I’ll hang up the call and leave you and Miss


    Reed to it, President Fuller. See you!” As soon as he finished his words, he immediately hung up the call,


    unlike his unusual response to end the call only after Toby did that.


    Thinking he was doing Toby a favor by leaving him alone with Sonia, he doubted his boss would be


    angry with him. After all, he was aware that Toby would be blinded by his affection for Sonia as long as


    he was distracted by anything rted to her. Therefore, he wasn’t worried about angering him at all, and


    as it turned out, he was right about his intuition.


    On the other hand, Toby instantly lightened up after hearing what Tom said, despite his initial irritation


    toward thetter’s audacity to hang up on him. Well, Tom is still wise enough to choose his words


    carefully. Otherwise, he could just forget about the bonus this month.


    Toby grunted coldly and put his phone away, getting up from the bed, whereupon he nned to make


    Sonia some porridge in the kitchen before waking her up. Although he knew she was tired from what


    they did the night before and might hence be reluctant to wake up, he reckoned it was necessary for her


    to eat a little something for the sake of her health.


    For that, Toby made his way to the kitchen and started getting down to work. With the cooking


    experience he had the night before, he found it easier to prepare food, although he only knew how to


    make a few simple dishes. By the time he was making porridge, it was already three-something in the


    afternoon.


    Toby took a look at the time and realized it was about time to wake Sonia up, so he turned off the stove


    and took off his apron. When he arrived in the room, he saw Sonia still sleeping soundly, like a log. Thus,


    he trod carefully while making his way to the bed, where he sat down and gently shook Sonia’s shoulder.


    “Wake up, Little Leaf.”


    Meanwhile, Sonia was still in her dream, in which she was happily flying in the sky until a huge palm


    appeared out of nowhere and nudged her, causing her to plummet to the ground. It was then that she


    woke up from her sleep in fright, screaming out loud while opening her eyes.


    At the same time, Toby was awakened by her sudden scream as he was caught in a trance for two


    seconds before he asked, “Did you just have a nightmare?”


    Sonia blinked and took a moment to calm herself down. Then, she red at the man. “Yeah, you were


    the nightmare!”


    Toby speechlessly curled his lips upward. “Why was I your nightmare?”


    “You were the nightmare.” Sonia grunted and said, “I was flying in the air until I got dragged down by


    someone’s hand. The next moment, I woke up to the fall that felt so real, and this is all your fault!”


    Noticing the man’s hand on her shoulder, Sonia was sure that Toby was the one who frightened and


    woke her up from her sleep. Whose fault is it if it’s not his?


    Seeing her bitter face, Toby was amused by her expression. “Alright. Alright, it’s my bad. Okay, I’m sorry.”


    “Hmph! That’s more like it.” Sonia grunted and chuckled, propping herself up with her arms. However,


    she had no memory of what happened the night before, so she sat up straight like she normally did, only


    to copse onto the bed due to her sore body.


    As her face turned pale, the soreness on every inch of her body seemed to be reminding her of


    something that she had just gone through. At that moment, she stared nkly at the ceiling, her eyes


    slowly filled with lust as the memories of what happened the night before, including how she felt, slowly


    flooded her mind. Soon, she was able to recall the fact that she intentionally made herself drunk, in order


    to muster the courage necessary to help her initiate her intimate approach with Toby.


    What have I done? And Toby… He acted like an animal, a machine that could never get tired of torturing


    me. “Ugh!” The more Sonia dwelled on that matter, the more she felt angry and embarrassed about it.


    Soon, she grabbed the nket and covered her head, as if she wanted to detach herself from the world.


    Deep down, she couldn’t believe she was the one who got drunk and started everything that happened


    after that. What made her even more ashamed was the fact that she provoked and encouraged Toby to


    proceed with their intimate moment, so she reckoned it was technically her own fault for what Toby did to


    her.


    In the meantime, Toby was stunned when she saw Sonia covering herself. Wondering what was wrong


    with her, he reached out for her nket to lift it. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you burying herself


    underneath the nket? Come on, lighten up, and let go of the nket.”


    “It’s none of your business.” Sonia wouldn’t release her tight grip on her nket, refusing to let the man


    lift it while her voice was so muffled under the sheets.


    Toby furrowed his eyebrows. “I’m your lover, so whose business is it if it’s none of mine? Therefore, listen


    to me and let go.”


    While Sonia was still reluctant to let go, Toby eventually stepped up his approach and pulled the nket


    away from her. In that instant, Sonia was left staring at him with her eyes wide open, finding it hard to


    believe that he would be this straightforward. “You…”


    Noticing Sonia’s blushed cheeks and the embarrassment that filled her eyes, Toby suddenly understood


    why she wanted to stay hidden underneath the nket, as he believed she was feeling shy about what


    happened the night before.


    “Alright, that’s enough. What’s there to be embarrassed about? It’s not like we did something


    embarrassing.” Toby tossed Sonia’s nket aside, keeping his head down while looking at thedy with


    a smile.
