Chapter 776 Rich Enough

Sonia was amused. “I know you’re wealthy, but that doesn’t mean you should give your money to the shareholders for free. Those money are not even dividends. If you use your own money to help them with whatever difficulties they’re facing, they’ll only become greedier, and the next time something happens, they won’t be concerned since they know you’ll resolve the matter to avoid them from suffering any loss.”

Toby gently touched her nose before responding, “I know, but do you think I would let them take advantage of me for nothing? Only in their dreams.”

Hearing that, she nodded. “That’s true.”

“Okay, we shall stop here. Let’s go.” He held her hands tightly and insisted, “I’ll send you to the office. Don’t worry, it wouldn’t affect the meeting. The meeting is important, but a few minutes of delay is acceptable.”

Sonia knew that he was adamant about sending her, or else he wouldn’t have insisted on doing so after her repeated rejections.

Thus, she didn’t want to turn him down again and instead nodded in agreement. “Sure, since you have said so.”

When Toby heard that, he caressed the back of her palm and led her toward his office.

Seeing them arriving at the chairman’s office, Tom then politely opened the door for them.

Then, Toby walked into the office while holding Sonia’s hand. Tom did not enter the office, but he instead walked to the pantry next door.

The moment they were in the office, Toby released Sonia’s hand and gestured to the couch. “Wait for me here. You can watch television or play games. If you feel like doing neither, I have a large collection of books on the bookshelf behind the table. You can also sleep in my resting room if you prefer. The meeting later would last for at least a few hours and it would be better for you to take a nap instead of doing nothing.”

While speaking, he pointed in the direction of his resting room.

Sonia looked at the direction of his finger and nodded. “I know. Just attend your meeting and don’t worry about me. I’m already a grown-up and no longer a child. I will look for something to occupy my time. Arranging everything for me would only make me feel like I’m just a child or even a guest as I can only do what you’ve said and nothing else.”

Guest? This word of hers made Toby frown. “You’re not a guest. You’re my lover and this is my place, which makes it yours too. So, you can do anything you want. I won’t arrange anything for you anymore.”

At least I have some freedom now,” she replied while
