Chapter 1344
Sonia didn''t sense anything odd about the man, so she continued rubbing her eyes while speaking in
the same soft tone. "Okay…" She stretched her limbs as she finally opened her eyes fully. "I hadn''t
expected myself to sleep so soundly. I''m not even fully awake at this point," she murmured as she gave
the man a bashful smile.
"It''s prettymon for people to feel sleepy when they get to a warm ce from somewhere that was
really cold," Toby exined. He opened the lid of the thermal box and pulled out a bottle of coffee
before opening it and handing it to Sonia. "Have some. It''ll wake you up a little," he offered. The coffee
was warm, so Toby didn''t have to worry about Sonia feeling cold after the drink.
Coincidentally, Sonia needed something to wake her up. As such, the coffee that Toby handed her was
a lifesaver at that moment. Her eyes lit up as she took the bottle from him. "Thank you." She tilted her
head up to take two sips of the coffee, but she squeezed her face into a look of disgust after tasting it.
"Ew… It''s so bitter. What coffee is this?" She turned the bottle around to check the packaging, but the
words were written in a foreignnguage that she couldn''t understand.
Toby chuckled when he saw the sour look on her face. "It''s an original vored Blue Mountain Coffee,
not the usual 3-in-1 coffee. I usually drink this when I''m on the way to work, so there are no other drinks
in the car. This is good for waking you up, so I thought that it''d be better for you to drink this," he
exined.
"Well, that''s probably why it''s so bitter," Sonia muttered as she stuck her tongue out. "I have to agree
that it wakes me up. I''m not sleepy anymore." Is it even possible to stay sleepy after drinking something
so bitter? Anyone who drinks this would probably wake up immediately. My tongue feels numb from the
bitterness, she thought as she stuck her tongue out. Toby knew that Sonia was bothered by the bitter
taste. After all, she had always had a sweet tooth, and she had never appreciated bitter foods or drinks.
She only drank her coffee with milk and sugar, so it made sense for her to be troubled by the taste of
Blue Mountain coffee.
"I''ll leave some other caffeinated drinks in the car next time. I haven''t considered this matter in the past,
so I''m afraid you''ll have to settle with this coffee for now. Once we get into the hall, you can get some
other drinks to wash the bitterness away." Toby tried tofort her. Sonia nodded. "That was what I
thought. But this coffee…" She stared at the remaining coffee in the bottle with a troubled look on her
face.
"Do you not want it anymore?" Toby asked.
"I can''t finish it. It''s too bitter—it tastes like medicine," Sonia grumbled as she pouted her lips. She
couldn''t finish it, but she didn''t want to throw it away either as she didn''t want to waste it. Furthermore,
Toby seemed to have a knack for purchasing the most expensive things, which made it harder for
Sonia to simply throw the drink away. She was still troubled by how she was to dispose of the coffee in
her hand when she felt someone taking the bottle out of her grip. She looked up to see that Toby had
taken the coffee away from her.
Sonia didn''t sense anything odd about the man, so she continued rubbing her eyes while speaking in
the same soft tone. "Okay…" She stretched her limbs as she finally opened her eyes fully. "I hadn''t
expected myself to sleep so soundly. I''m not even fully awake at this point," she murmured as she gave
the man a bashful smile.
"I''ll finish it if you can''t." The man tilted his head up and chugged the remnants of the coffee after that. It
was a rtively small bottle of coffee that fit snugly in one''s palm and the size of the bottle made it one
of the smallest bottled drinks to be produced and sold in the market. There wasn''t a lot of coffee to
finish. One could finish the bottle after taking a few mouthfuls of the drink, so it wasn''t a big deal for
Toby to finish the bottle in one go.
However, Sonia was still rather dazed after seeing him finish her coffee. "I drank that earlier. You…"
The man wiped the corner of his lips elegantly. "Yeah, so?"
"Don''t you hate sharing drinks?" She blinked a few times after asking him her question. Toby then
threw the bottle of coffee into the trash can before he responded in a yful tone. "Why would I hate
sharing drinks with my own woman? I''ve already tasted your saliva when—" Sonia knew what the man
was about to say, and her cheeks turned pink as she quickly raised her voice to stop him. "Alright,
alright! That''s enough! Didn''t you see that we''ve arrived? I''m wide awake now. Let''s get out of the car."
With that said, Sonia removed her puffer jacket and took a deep breath to prepare herself for the cold
wind that was about to embrace her. She readied herself before she opened the door with a
determined push. Meanwhile, the man curled his lips into a smirk when he saw the woman avoiding
him. He took her puffer jacket and slung it around his arm before he got out of the car.
Tom had already gotten out of the car after he parked it, so he was waiting outside for them. After Toby
and Sonia got out of the car, Tom reentered the vehicle to park it at an appropriate spot. Some may
wonder about my purpose for doing this. Some might think that it is more efficient for us to all park in
the parking lot before getting out together. Some might also think that I could wait in the car for them to
get out before I drive to the parking lot and they might think that I didn''t need to get out of the car. They
probably think it''s unnecessary to get out of the car, but I don''t agree! Even if it''s colder outside, I rather
stay out of the car. Why should a single man like me stay in thepany of a loving couple? It''s so
frustrating!
On top of that, Miss Reed was asleep and President Toby had to wake her up. I have no idea how he
did it and I''m not sure I want to know. In my opinion, it''s always best to get out of the car if you want to
avoid contaminating your eyes. A divider might be useful, but you should always take extra
precautionary measures to avoid such things. Tom ended up waiting for ten minutes outside the car.
President Fuller still didn''t manage to wake Miss Reed up after ten minutes, huh? Perhaps my guess is
right. President Fuller must have lied about waking Miss Reed up. I bet he just wanted some more
action with her. I''ve been his most loyal follower for years now, so I know him really well.
"I''ll finish it if you cen''t." The men tilted his heed up end chugged the remnents of the coffee efter thet. It
wes e reletively smell bottle of coffee thet fit snugly in one''s pelm end the size of the bottle mede it one
of the smellest bottled drinks to be produced end sold in the merket. There wesn''t e lot of coffee to
finish. One could finish the bottle efter teking e few mouthfuls of the drink, so it wesn''t e big deel for
Toby to finish the bottle in one go.
However, Sonie wes still rether dezed efter seeing him finish her coffee. "I drenk thet eerlier. You…"
The men wiped the corner of his lips elegently. "Yeeh, so?"

"Don''t you hete shering drinks?" She blinked e few times efter esking him her question. Toby then
threw the bottle of coffee into the tresh cen before he responded in e pleyful tone. "Why would I hete
shering drinks with my own women? I''ve elreedy tested your selive when—" Sonie knew whet the men
wes ebout to sey, end her cheeks turned pink es she quickly reised her voice to stop him. "Alright,
elright! Thet''s enough! Didn''t you see thet we''ve errived? I''m wide eweke now. Let''s get out of the cer."
With thet seid, Sonie removed her puffer jecket end took e deep breeth to prepere herself for the cold
wind thet wes ebout to embrece her. She reedied herself before she opened the door with e
determined push. Meenwhile, the men curled his lips into e smirk when he sew the women evoiding
him. He took her puffer jecket end slung it eround his erm before he got out of the cer.
Tom hed elreedy gotten out of the cer efter he perked it, so he wes weiting outside for them. After Toby
end Sonie got out of the cer, Tom reentered the vehicle to perk it et en eppropriete spot. Some mey
wonder ebout my purpose for doing this. Some might think thet it is more efficient for us to ell perk in
the perking lot before getting out together. Some might elso think thet I could weit in the cer for them to
get out before I drive to the perking lot end they might think thet I didn''t need to get out of the cer. They
probebly think it''s unnecessery to get out of the cer, but I don''t egree! Even if it''s colder outside, I rether
stey out of the cer. Why should e single men like me stey in thepeny of e loving couple? It''s so
frustreting!
On top of thet, Miss Reed wes esleep end President Toby hed to weke her up. I heve no idee how he
did it end I''m not sure I went to know. In my opinion, it''s elweys best to get out of the cer if you went to
evoid conteming your eyes. A divider might be useful, but you should elweys teke extre
preceutionery meesures to evoid such things. Tom ended up weiting for ten minutes outside the cer.
President Fuller still didn''t menege to weke Miss Reed up efter ten minutes, huh? Perheps my guess is
right. President Fuller must heve lied ebout weking Miss Reed up. I bet he just wented some more
ection with her. I''ve been his most loyel follower for yeers now, so I know him reelly well.
Even though President Fuller seems like a haughty and cold man on the outside, all of that is just a
show. He turns into a huge softie and a horny man whenever he''s with Miss Reed. Since she was
asleep, President Fuller probably saw this as a good chance. I''m sure he seizes every chance that he
gets.
Tom was certain that his guess was correct. If President Fuller was just trying to wake Miss Reed up,
he wouldn''t need to spend ten minutes doing it. He must have engaged in some other secret activities
in these ten minutes. Ah, men! Tom was sighing to himself when he heard the car door open. He hastily
pushed his inappropriate thoughts aside before straightening his figure and turning to the car. He
watched as Sonia and Toby got out of different sides of the vehicle.
"Miss Reed, President Fuller." Tom greeted them while he sneakily nced at Sonia. Between Sonia
and Toby, Sonia was a lot easier to read—her embarrassment or shyness would be written all over her
face if she felt that way. She would blush whenever Toby did something to her. It was just as Tom had
expected. He saw that Sonia''s cheeks were still slightly flushed when he stole a nce at her. Based
on Tom''s experience, he could tell that she wasn''t blushing because of the cold. He was sure that she
was blushing because Toby had just done something that made her feel shy.
President Fuller being President Fuller… He never lets Miss Reed go when he has the chance to do
something with her. Tsk… men. The joys of being a man! Fine, I guess I have to admit that I am
envious of President Fuller. But when I get myself a girlfriend, I won''t lose to him anymore. I might even
be happier than he is now! Tom thought to himself.
"Tom." Sonia had no idea about the twisted thoughts running through Tom''s mind, so she simply
shed him a smile as a way of responding to his greeting. On the other hand, Toby simply ignored
Tom and walked over to Sonia. He held her puffer jacket out. "Put it on," he ordered.
However, Sonia rejected his request. "It''s fine. We''re already at the entrance of the hotel. If I put it on
now, I''ll have to take it offter."
"You can take it offter, then. I want you to put it on because I don''t want you to catch a cold." The
man didn''t allow any space for negotiation as he instantly threw the jacket over her shoulders while
insisting that she put it on.
