Chapter 66

Sonia had never expected things to go so smoothly with the government. It only took an hour for a contract to be signed. As thanks to her for a few years of free land use rights, they promised to help her build her factory and have a machinery plant set up for her.

By the time she exited the department,

the sky was already dark. As if on cue,

her stomach grumbled loudly. Hearing

 

it, Charles threw an arm around her

shoulders. “How about we have steak

 

for dinner, baby?”

“Sure.” She nodded in agreement.

“Let’s go!” Still with his arm around her,

he lengthened his stride in the

direction of their car.

Half an hour later, they arrived at one of Seafield’s most famous restaurants. The moment they walked inside, Sonia heard a familiar voice behind her.

“Miss Reed, Mr. Lane, we meet again.”

Instantly, Sonia’s smile faded. Much less politely, Charles rolled his eyes. “Why is it you both again?”

It was none other than Tina and Toby.

With a gentle smile, Tina asked, “You don’t wish to see us, Mr. Lane?”

* “You don’t need to ask to know that,”

he retorted, spreading his arms.

Nonetheless, her smile stayed on her

face. She didn’t seem angry. On the other hand, Toby was silent. His gaze was fixed on the bandage on Sonia’s head with an unreadable look in his

eyes.

Feeling his stare, Sonia gave him a curious glance and quirked her lips. “Aren’t you afraid your fiancee will get

jealous of you staring at me like that,

President Fuller?”

At her question, the smile on Tina’s face finally slipped. While Tina knew Sonia was purposely trying to provoke her and Toby, she had no way of

denying that Sonia was telling the truth and that Toby had, indeed, been staring

at her. Even though jealousy flashed

across Tina’s eyes and brewed even more potently in her heart, she made an effort to bring a smile back to her

face.

“What are you saying, Miss Reed? How could I possibly be jealous? You’re standing in front of me and Toby, so it’s

not so strange that Toby is looking at

you. Not to mention, he’s seen plenty of

female employees at Fuller Group every day. If I got jealous of every one of them, I’d be very busy. Wouldn’t you say, Toby?” She wrapped her hands around Toby’s arm.

Feeling the force of her grip, Toby frowned slightly but didn’t pull his arm

away.
