Chapter 1134 A Stressed Out Tom

Toby frowned at once and looked at his assistant with contempt, causing the corner of Tom’s lips to twitch. Why is the president looking at me like I’m an idiot? Have I gotten something wrong?

As the thought crossed his mind, he noticed something. There were bite marks and scratch marks on the exposed collarbone beneath Toby’ slightly opened bathrobe collar.

Tom might not be as experienced, but he was no naive little boy either. So he understood how those marks came to be and what they meant at once, and he couldn’t be any more mortified.

Kitten and scratches? Clearly, the president was referring to a human rather than an actual cat. As for who specifically, who else other than Miss Reed?!

In other words, Toby and Sonia probably had another round in the morning, and the man was so sated that he even answered the door with a smile.

If that was the case, Toby’ smile wasn’t directed at him at all. In fact, it was because the president hadn’t managed to put it away, having just finished making love to Sonia. He encountered a rare occasion where he saw Toby smiling.

The most embarrassing part was that he had assumed his boss’ smile was directed at him, thinking Toby was happy to see him.

What did I say? How is that possible?! Thank goodness I didn’t look touched, or things would get really awkward…

As Tom thought mortifyingly, Toby’ monotonous voice came. “What are you here for?”

Tom looked up only to find Toby’ smile had been replaced with nothing but impassiveness and impatience, precisely like every other time he showed up at Toby’ door.

Sure enough, this was the treatment a subordinate like him deserved. Everything that had happened earlier was just his imagination.

While sneering in his heart, Tom pushed his glasses and answered deferentially, “Have you forgotten, President? You asked me to bring the car over and also bring some breakfast over in the meantime.”

With that, he handed a bag to Toby, who quirked a brow, clearly having only remembered that he had indeed said so the day before.

He took the take-out bag from Tom and wanted to shoo him away when the sound of footsteps came from behind him.
