After listening to the voice message, Toby frowned. It was the first time he felt repulsed by Titus’ actions. It was somewhat despicable to use such a method to quash her just because he was unable to purchase the land.

All of a sudden, his phone vibrated. Pulling his thoughts back to the present, he lowered his head to look at the screen only to discover that it was another text message from Sonia. ‘What do you think I should do?’

There was even the emoji of a little person sighing with their face cushioned against their palm at the end of the message. It was very cute. As he looked at the emoji, his mind inexplicably replaced it with the image of her face. Perhaps she was doing the very same thing at this moment.

Nonetheless, he quickly realized he was forming thoughts he shouldn’t have and rearranged his expression back into a cold one. Whatever she looks like at the moment has nothing to do with me! How can I think about such things?

 

And so, he answered, ‘I don’t know.’

When she saw the reply, she felt somewhat lost.

Previously, it was his idea that helped her acquire Continental Co. For some reason, she was subconsciously treating him as a sounding board and hoped to get some help from him again. Only now did she realize it was the wrong mentality to have.

“I swear you’re regressing, Sonia!” she muttered at herself, slapping her forehead before picking up her phone and typing, ‘Sorry, I was just asking casually. Don’t take it to heart. My friend and I will come up with our own ideas.’
