Chapter 1153 Rose’s Gift

Sonia naturally felt the animosity coming from Asher. After all, the feeling wasn’t inchoate but a long-existing one. Thus, she made no reaction toward his hatred-filled stare but only looked straight ahead as though she hadn’t noticed it and walked right past Asher, going out of the building.

Asher, on the other hand, was so livid that his clenched fists trembled when Sonia disregarded him entirely. Standing behind him, his crony even more so stirred his anger by huffing, “Look at how arrogant that woman is, President. Even if she’s the chairman, she’s still your junior. How can she be so rude as to not even say hi to you?!”

To that, Asher sneered. “How can she not be when she has Toby backing her? But one day, I’ll see that she can never be arrogant again.”

“Ain’t that the truth, President.” The crony very much agreed with him and was confident Asher would succeed. “Alright, enough flattery. Let’s go.” After taking a gander in the direction Sonia left, he withdrew his gaze and barely calmed down as he made his way to the elevator.

Of course, Sonia had no clue what Asher and his cronies talked about behind her back, but she didn’t want to know, nor was she interested in knowing. Right after seeing Toby’ car, she waved and jogged over to it with a smile.

Toby, on the other hand, hurriedly got out of the car and spread his arms wide apart upon seeing so.

The next second, Sonia fell into his arms, completely wrapped in his embrace.

“What are you running so fast for? What if you fall?” Toby put an arm around Sonia’s back while ruffling her hair with the other.

“But I don’t want you to wait for too long.” She looked up at him.
