Chapter 783 Happy to Help You
As Sonia spoke, she found Toby’s social media and sent the recording to him.
Toby heard his phone vibrating, but he did not take it out of his pocket and instead stared at her with a
deep gaze. “Dangerous? Do you know what danger is?”
He had a peculiar tone, which made Sonia look up at him with suspicion. Seeing his gloomy
expression, the smile on her face slowly solidified before it finally disappeared. Feeling a little uneasy,
she asked, “What’s wrong with you? Why do you have such a terrible expression? I didn’t offend you,
did I?”
Toby sighed before he took her phone away from her hand, after which he grabbed her wrist. As he
pulled her forward, he embraced her in his arms tightly before he said, “Sonia Reed, do you know how
dangerous it was to record that man?”
This time, he called out her full name. In the past few days, he had been calling her by her nickname
and she was already used to it. Now that she heard him call her christened name, she was no longer
used to it. After being taken aback for a while, she also realized that he was admonishing her like that
because he was exasperated. She also comprehended that he was angry about the recording that she
took.
Of course, it was not that she shouldn’t record it, but it was the fact that she didn’t care about her own
safety when she recorded it. He was angry that she didn’t protect herself well.
After thinking about this, Sonia gradually relaxed her stiff body. She then raised her arms and returned
Toby’s hug. As she leaned her chin on his shoulder, she replied with a slight smile, “I know, but don’t
worry. Am I not fine now?”
“Yes, you are fine now, but if something really happens, can you still speak in front of me like this?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtToby slightly pushed her away from his arms and stared at her face. “Do you know how nervous and
worried I was when I saw the messages you sent me after the meeting? I was worried that you were
discovered by Damon’s subordinate. I know that person; he is a ruthless man. If he found you, he
would definitely not let you go, so I rushed to the office in fear. When I came to the office, I found the
door was locked. I didn’t know if it was you who locked it or that person did it. All I knew was that when
I opened the door, my hands were shaking. I was afraid I would see that you were…”
He didn’t finish his words, as if he didn’t dare to say it, and he didn’t seem to want to say it either.
However, Sonia knew what he meant. What he was afraid to see was her lifeless body.
It seemed that she had really scared him this time.
A touch of guilt rose in Sonia’s heart before she took the initiative to hug Toby. “I’m sorry. I should’ve
sent you a message at the end to tell you that I’m fine. I didn’t think of this at that time and it made you
worried.”
Toby stroked her hair. “Yeah, I was worried, but fortunately, when I opened the door, I saw that you’re
fine.”
She smiled again. “That person didn’t find me. I was quite lucky, I guess. I went to the bathroom to
wash my hands after eating the cake, and just as I was about to come out after washing my hands, I
heard movement outside. I thought at first that it was you, but when I heard that person talking, I
realized that it wasn’t you, but someone hostile to you. That person was calling another guy to say that
he was looking for some documents, so I knew I couldn’t go out and couldn’t be found. If I was found,
that person would definitely be against me, so I stayed in the bathroom quietly and didn’t plan to head
out. At the same time, I took out my phone and recorded everything. Anyway, I didn’t go out until he left
the place. I was the one who locked the door of your office because I was afraid that the person would
come back. Speaking of which, I was extremely lucky that the person didn’t look in other rooms, else
he would have found me.”
After listening to Sonia, Toby felt his heart constrict. Although she had described it very plainly, as if
what happened had already passed and she no longer cared, it still made him tense when he heard it.
She knew that it would be dangerous to head out at that time, so he could imagine how scared she was
when she was alone in the bathroom at that time.
Thinking of this, Toby wrapped his arms and hugged Sonia so tightly that he wanted to melt her into
him. His voice was a little broken as he responded, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have left you alone in the
office. At that time, you were petrified, right?”
In the morning, he should have insisted on not letting her come here. If she hadn’t come, she wouldn’t
have encountered such a dangerous situation.
Although she was lucky at the time and happened to head to the bathroom, what if she didn’t go to the
bathroom at that time? Or what if she went to the bathroom and came out without hearing any
movements outside? Or maybe that person didn’t just rummage through his office area, but snooped
around all the rooms?
He couldn’t imagine it, and he didn’t dare to think about it. In short, he never wanted to experience this
kind of thing again. This time, it almost drove him crazy.
Sonia didn’t know what Toby was thinking. When she heard his words, she bit her lower lip slightly, and
a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. “Yeah, I was a little scared. This is the first time I have encountered
such a thing, and I have no experience. So, I was afraid, of course, but I quickly calmed down again. I
didn’t let myself make a sound or go out, and I just calmly recorded with my phone, and finally locked
the door. Speaking of which, I feel that I was very brave.”
Saying that, she laughed.
Toby knew that she was intentionally laughing to show him that he should not worry because the matter
had passed, and she was safe now. He stroked Sonia’s hair while his gaze softened, and his voice was
much lower and hoarser. “Yeah, you were very brave, and you did a good job.”
His office was not like this at first. At first, it was an office with only one bathroom and no other rooms.
Later, Tom thought it was too uninteresting, so he changed it. Toby had thought it was too troublesome
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmat the time and didn’t even want to remodel his office, but now, he felt extremely fortunate that Tom
insisted on remodeling the office.
Otherwise, Sonia would have had nowhere to hide.
Thus, he had to thank Tom for that.
“Then are you still mad at me?” Sonia looked up at Toby.
Toby shook his head. “I’m not mad at you anymore, but I’m only mad at myself. I didn’t do a good job of
safeguarding the office. In the entire Fuller Group, no one dares to trespass my office and I didn’t
expect someone to sneak in, so I just neglected its safety and didn’t have security around it.”
“It’s not your fault.” She shrugged. “You’re not God. How could you have expected this? If it were me, I
wouldn’t have imagined that someone would dare to sneak into my office.”
Toby looked at the emptiness behind her with slightly squinting eyes. His gaze was filled with killing
intent as he said, “This incident has brought fear to you. I will avenge you, and I will not let any of these
people off the hook.”
Sonia knew that he was going to deal with the person who trespassed in his office seriously as well as
the mastermind. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with that. After all, Toby should deal with
this kind of enemy who took advantage of him.
Otherwise, he would be the one in trouble in the end.
“You don’t have to avenge me. This is your own enemy. You can handle it by yourself. Although the
whole situation frightened me, I’m still quite happy,” Sonia cajoled with a smile.
Toby frowned. “Happy?!”
He didn’t understand why she was elated about it.
She nodded. “Yeah, I’m happy, I’m happy that I was able to help you. All along, you have been the one
helping me in my affairs and I’ve never returned the favor, but I helped you this time. Of course, I’m
happy because I know I can do something for you now too.”
