Chapter 1020
On this side of the phone, Sonia's red lips twitched as she listened to Daphne's guess. She thought that Toby might
have done it as well. In the entire Seafield, he was the only one who did not have to respect Connor and was able to
take the parts back from him without any effort. After all, Connor would never take the initiative to return it.
However, how did he know that Connor stole her company's parts? She was pretty sure she had never told him.
Could it be that he had placed a spy in her company again, and was really watching her as Charles had guessed
before? As she recalled what Charles had said in the past, Toby must have placed some of his people in Paradigm
Co., and it was not impossible for him to receive reports about her in every detail all the time. Otherwise, how could
he know about the parts?
As she pondered, Sonia frowned, feeling a little unhappy. How would she be happy? Nobody would be glad that the
person they loved sent someone to monitor them and report their movements all the time. It was like being a
prisoner without having any privacy. In short, Toby's behavior was completely distrustful and he didn't believe in her
performance. Besides, he had done this before, but she had told him to withdraw the spies placed in her company.
Though he agreed, he did not keep his word at all.
Sonia pursed her red lips, and it took a while for her to respond to Daphne's words. "I will verify whether it is Toby or
not and give you a reply tomorrow. As for the parts, it's a good thing that they are back. Hurry up and notify the
processing department to start processing so that we don't miss the construction period."
"Yes, Chairman Reed." As she listened to Sonia's instructions, Daphne had no objections and immediately agreed.
When the call ended, Sonia slowly took her phone away from her ear with a stiff expression. After a few seconds,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe rubbed her eyebrows, then tapped on her contacts to dial Toby's number. She wanted to know if he was the
one who had gotten the parts back, and if he was, why didn't he tell her beforehand?
When the call went through, Sonia quietly listened to the beeping sound on the phone. However, after a while, the
dial tone was still ringing, and it was not replaced by his low and pleasant voice. She frowned again and brought her
phone to her face to have a look. It showed on the screen that she had already been dialing for more than twenty
seconds. If Toby hadn't answered the phone for so long, it probably meant that he wasn't free.
When she thought of how Fuller Group had thousands of people in their headquarters alone, she suddenly couldn't
be angry with Toby for sending someone to monitor her, and she only felt worried for him. After all, she already felt
exhausted managing hundreds of people in Paradigm Co., let alone the Fuller Group headquarters with more than
2,000 people. Besides, many subsidiaries of the Fuller Group submitted hundreds of documents every day and sent
them to the headquarters for processing, so it was clear that he worked so much more than her.
She had backache every single day, and Toby, who worked so much more than her, naturally had it worse.
However, because he was a man, he never showed these things on his face, so the person she saw was always in
good spirits. It seemed that she had neglected him quite a lot. Sonia lowered her eyes, feeling shameful and guilty.
If it weren't for the fact that Toby didn't answer the call this time, she might not realize how busy and tired he
usually was. She had really been spoiled.
Recently, he almost always pushed his work back, or pushed it aside just to make time to be with her. Even if he
was not by her side, as long as she contacted him, he would almost always respond as soon as possible. So much
so that over time, she forgot that he was the president of Fuller Group, and he was so much more tired and busy
than her.
A helpless smile came from the corner of Sonia's mouth. Didn't this mean that she was spoiled? He spoiled her, and
yet she had neglected him so often. In the future, she would have to pay more attention to him, and she couldn't
gradually abandon him like this. It was unfair to him.
At the thought, Sonia hung up and gently sent a message to Toby.
At the same time, in the president's office in Fuller Group. Toby was sitting behind his desk with a fountain pen in his
hand and his head slightly lowered, going through documents one after another. The time each document spent in
his hand would not exceed three minutes, and he was as precise as a ruthless machine. After the documents were
processed, he tossed them directly to Tom who was standing opposite the desk and sorting out the documents.
Meanwhile, the documents in Tom's hand had already been piled high into a tall mountain, all of which Toby had
completed in a single afternoon. Though Toby could work without getting tired, Tom felt that in the two or three
hours he had spent standing here, his eyes were losing focus and his legs were sore. However, as he looked at
Toby's cold expression and the pressuring aura that emanated from his body, he couldn't seem to persuade him to
rest for a while and let him go. Instead, he could only grit his teeth and force himself to endure the pain in his sore
legs, pretending as if nothing was wrong as he organized the documents in silence.
That was until a minute ago, when Toby's phone rang, and Tom glanced at the screen. Seeing that it was a call from
Sonia, he suddenly became excited, thinking that Toby would answer her call no matter what, which meant that he
could also take the opportunity to move his legs around and rest. Unexpectedly, Toby didn't mean to answer the
phone at all, as if he hadn't heard or seen Sonia calling, and he didn't pause in going through the documents.
Though Tom was disappointed that he had lost the chance to rest, he couldn't help but feel his heart stop as he had
a bad premonition. What was going on? Toby didn't answer Sonia's call, and he even indifferently pretended not to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhave seen it. They weren't facing relationship problems, were they?
Tom looked at the phone that was already quiet, and then at Toby, who was looking at another document on the
opposite side, and panicked a little. No way. That can't be true, right?
He took a breath and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "President Fuller, the call just now was from Miss Reed. Didn't
you see the caller ID?"
Still, he knew how unnecessary his question was. How could Toby not be aware? When he looked at Toby's phone
screen, he saw that Toby had also glanced at it, so it was impossible for him not to know. He had seen it, but he
deliberately didn't answer the call.
Toby's hand stopped in its tracks as he raised his eyes to look at Tom. Those eyes were full of darkness and
indifference, but they were enough to pierce through a person. Tom almost felt as if Toby could see through his
mind, and he quickly lowered his gaze.
"I saw it." The second Tom lowered his eyes and avoided Toby's gaze, Toby spoke up, answering him in a cold and
curt tone.
Hearing that, Tom abruptly lifted his head. "You saw it?"
Toby did not reply to his question.
Tom's mouth gaped. "Then... why didn't you answer?"
Toby still remained silent, only looking at him gloomily.
Tom felt a shiver run down his spine from Toby's stare and lowered his head again, feeling his heart race with panic.
It's over. These two are definitely having relationship problems.
