The assistant let out a sigh of relief before she smiled. “You’re such a nice person, President Reed.”

“Enough with the nonsense. Tell me—what were you guys talking about earlier?” Sonia repeated her question.

“Oh, yes. We were talking about how President Fuller from the Fuller group might be getting engaged again,” the assistant replied.

However, the assistant could sense a rather peculiar change in Sonia at the mention of Toby. “Yeah, that’s what the Internet says,” the assistant replied without thinking much of Sonia’s change in demeanor.
