Chapter 1260 Befriending the Ladies

Sonia regretted making that joke. I shouldn’t have said that, especially when it comes to something like this. Just then, Toby broke her train of thought. “What are you thinking about?” She forced a smile. “Nothing. It’s just…”

“Hm?” “Well… About what happened just—” She didn’t get to finish her sentence as Toby had spotted something. He pointed at a group of ladies not far from them. “She’s right there.”

Sonia looked in the direction where he was pointing and saw a few ladies standing in the center of the hall, chatting away. All of them were in expensive clothes, and all looked regal. The one in the center of the group was the one Sonia wanted to talk to this time. She felt elated the moment her gaze landed on the lady she was looking for. “Oh, it’s her. I’ll be going, then.”

“Do you want me to come with you?” He stopped and looked at her. She shook her head. “No. You already helped me a lot tonight. I’ll do it myself. I’m the one who has a favor to ask, not you. I’d like to try it out myself. Besides, it’s all ladies there. I don’t think a guy showing up would be appropriate.”

He patted her head softly. “Alright, I’ll stay around, then. Gotta say hi to my grandpa’s friend.” He then pointed at the rest area and said, “I’ll be waiting for you there.”

Sonia nodded in acknowledgment. “Sure. I’ll be going now.”

“Okay.” Toby nodded. “Go. I’ll go after you manage to start talking to them.”
