Chapter 110
“Aren’t you going in?” By now, Toby was also aware that Sonia was here for the meeting, even though he had no idea how she managed to secure a place in the meeting
She bit her lower lip in hesitation and answered, “Why don’t you head in first? I don’t want to enter at the same time as you.”
At that moment, she could tell that the room was bustling with activity from the muffled sounds.

After that, he pushed the door open and entered the room, leaving her standing alone and gawking at him.
