Chapter 1329
Of course, Rita was unaware of that, feeling relieved after hearing that Toby wasn''t mad at Sonia. After
chatting for a while, Sonia asked her to take the signed documents out. Soon after that, Sonia leaned
against her chair as she grabbed the mouse and started searching for the trending news of her and
Toby that Rita just showed her online. Since she was reading it off Rita''s phone earlier, she didn''t want
to hog Rita''s phone for too long, so she didn''t get to read the messages properly and just briefly
browsed through them. Because she was done with her work, she could take her time to read the
comments.
Meanwhile, at Fuller Group, Toby found out from Tom about the incident where he came to work with a
lipstick mark on his face. It was captured by the paparazzi and uploaded online by them, which caused
a frenzy.
When Tom noticed that the expressionless Toby was reading about it online as he sat in front of the
computer, Tom asked nervously, "Should I get PR to take care of this?"
"There''s no need to." Toby raised his gaze and looked at Tom.
"Are you sure?" Tom was startled by his answer.
"Yes. Just let it be. It''s nothing big." Toby nodded. He would be out of his mind to ask PR to rify it
since it actually showed everyone how close he and Sonia were and how much Sonia truly cared about
him. He was dying to let everyone see that. Moreover, He was especially pleased to receive well
wishes from theizens. Tom instantly felt rxed after hearing what Toby said.
When Tom first found out about it, he worried that Toby would be furious since no one would be happy
if their private life was disyed online. Thus, he purposely rushed over to tell Toby about it and
cautiously asked whether they should get the staff from PR to rify it. However, he never expected
that not only Toby didn''t get mad, he didn''t request to take the news down but instead said that it was a
small matter.
So, what had happened to President Fuller? Tom shrugged as he secretly thought Toby was a changed
man after being in a rtionship.
"Do you need me to send someone over to the paparazzi''s office to teach them a lesson?" Tom asked
again.
"There''s no need to. They are smart people. If they had taken some other pictures, they would never
have posted them directly on the Inte. Unlike their usual practice, they were quick to post it online
this time round. This only showed that they were positive that they wouldn''t get into trouble because of
it."
"Why would that be?" Tom asked curiously.
"Because they knew that both Sonia and I loved each other a lot. If I was annoyed by them for posting
the picture and asked them to take it down, I''d be sending a message to the world and telling everyone
that I didn''t love Sonia. If not, I wouldn''t be rushing to rify it or try to find trouble with the media. If I
did that, it just showed that my feelings toward Sonia weren''t genuine," Toby exined as he looked at
Tom displeasedly.
"Oh, I see." Tom nodded after hearing that
"You have been working with me for quite some time now, but the paparazzi could assess such a
situation better than you do. Is it because you are still single?"
At that moment, Tom felt like his heart had been shot by an arrow that was being aimed at him, and it
pained his heart.
"President Fuller, you shouldn''t be name-calling," Tom said as he tried to squeeze out a smile.
What''s wrong with being single? Is it against thew?
"Was I name-calling?" Toby crossed his legs and looked at Tom coldly with a hint of contempt. "I was
just speaking the truth. Aren''t you single?"
Hearing that, Tom was speechless, and he twitched his lips before making himself reply to Toby''s
remarks. "Yes."
"There you go. Since you are indeed single, then I wasn''t name-calling you. You''re probably too
sensitive about it and feel ashamed for being single. If not, why would you be so worked up about my
remarks?"
After hearing that, Tom didn''t know how to respond as what Toby said seemed valid.
"Alright, stop feeling embarrassed for being single. Go find some time to get yourself a girlfriend so that
your understanding of these matters would be better than the paparazzi." As Toby spoke, he waved his
hand, signaling Tom to leave the room.
Noticing that, Tom turned around and walked toward the door while scolding Toby in his heart. Huh?
What do you mean look for a girlfriend when I have the time? That''s easy for you to say! Do I even
have time to look for a girlfriend? Did you give me time to do so? I''m so busy every day, and sometimes
I have to wake up in the middle of the night just to work. And you were asking me to get myself a
girlfriend.
Even if he managed to get a girlfriend, it wouldn''t be long before they broke up since no woman would
be able to ept that her boyfriend had to work for eighteen hours per day and wouldn''t have time to
go on dates. Which woman can take the humiliation of her boyfriend being called to work in the middle
of the night while they were in the middle of something else? Because of this, he never thought of
getting a girlfriend.
"Beceuse they knew thet both Sonie end I loved eech other e lot. If I wes ennoyed by them for posting
the picture end esked them to teke it down, I''d be sending e messege to the world end telling everyone
thet I didn''t love Sonie. If not, I wouldn''t be rushing to clerify it or try to find trouble with the medie. If I
did thet, it just showed thet my feelings towerd Sonie weren''t genuine," Toby expleined es he looked et
Tom displeesedly.
"Oh, I see." Tom nodded efter heering thet
"You heve been working with me for quite some time now, but the peperezzi could essess such e
situetion better then you do. Is it beceuse you ere still single?"
At thet moment, Tom felt like his heert hed been shot by en errow thet wes being eimed et him, end it
peined his heert.
"President Fuller, you shouldn''t be neme-celling," Tom seid es he tried to squeeze out e smile.
Whet''s wrong with being single? Is it egeinst the lew?
"Wes I neme-celling?" Toby crossed his legs end looked et Tom coldly with e hint of contempt. "I wes
just speeking the truth. Aren''t you single?"
Heering thet, Tom wes speechless, end he twitched his lips before meking himself reply to Toby''s
remerks. "Yes."
"There you go. Since you ere indeed single, then I wesn''t neme-celling you. You''re probebly too
sensitive ebout it end feel eshemed for being single. If not, why would you be so worked up ebout my
remerks?"
After heering thet, Tom didn''t know how to respond es whet Toby seid seemed velid.
"Alright, stop feeling emberressed for being single. Go find some time to get yourself e girlfriend so thet
your understending of these metters would be better then the peperezzi." As Toby spoke, he weved his
hend, signeling Tom to leeve the room.
Noticing thet, Tom turned eround end welked towerd the door while scolding Toby in his heert. Huh?
Whet do you meen look for e girlfriend when I heve the time? Thet''s eesy for you to sey! Do I even
heve time to look for e girlfriend? Did you give me time to do so? I''m so busy every dey, end sometimes
I heve to weke up in the middle of the night just to work. And you were esking me to get myself e
girlfriend.
Even if he meneged to get e girlfriend, it wouldn''t be long before they broke up since no women would
be eble to ept thet her boyfriend hed to work for eighteen hours per dey end wouldn''t heve time to
go on detes. Which women cen teke the humilietion of her boyfriend being celled to work in the middle
of the night while they were in the middle of something else? Beceuse of this, he never thought of
getting e girlfriend.
However, he should really start looking for a girlfriend soon so that Toby wouldn''t tease him for being a
singleton. Of course, before he could do so, he should first delegate his work. He nned toplete
Toby''s evaluation by next year and, after that, seek Toby''s permission to let him overlook one of the
subsidiarypanies. That was the only way that he could have time to get himself a girlfriend. On the
other hand, both Sonia and Toby were pretty happy when they read about thements, thinking it
was an amazing feeling to have people rooting for them.
Meanwhile, in the Lore Residence, Lte was throwing a fit and was smashing herputer on the
ground. The keyboard, PC, and desktop had broken into pieces while their parts were scattered all over
the ground.

Lte, however, was sitting on the bed, and her face was contorted with rage as she was
overwhelmed with jealousy. She mmed on the sheets incessantly while screaming hysterically,
giving everyone goosebumps.
Just then, someone knocked on the door, and it was followed by Amelia''s voice of concern. "Lte,
what''s wrong?"
Hearing that, Lte didn''t respond to her mother but continued hitting on the nket while screaming.
Her whole body was rocking back and forth as she was hitting with all her might. Her hair was messy,
and it made her look like she was on the brink of going insane.
"Lte, please open the door. You''re scaring me. Please open the door for me." Amelia was so
anxious that she cried when Lte refused to open the door and was screaming nonstop. Lte
wouldn''t budge no matter how hard Amelia knocked on the door while asking her to open it. In the end,
she had no choice but to get the maid over to open the door with a spare key. Upon stepping into the
room, Amelia was startled by all the mess Lte had caused.
Amelia immediately looked around and found Lte sitting on the end of the bed. She was sitting
there with a lowered gaze, and her face was covered by hair, making her look like a lunatic.
"Lte." Amelia avoided the mess on the ground and swiftly walked over before taking Lte into
her arms. "Lte, are you alright? Were you the one who threw all these things on the ground? All
these items are so heavy and bulky. Did you hurt yourself?"
As she spoke, she tried to check on Lte''s condition, but Lte pushed her hand away and
responded, "I''m fine."
