Sonia could already tell that she had ruffled his feathers. As she looked away, she had a faint smile. “Oh, my apologies, President Fuller. This is my real side. I always show my blunt side to my enemies.”

Her enemy? Toby clenched his fists as he was shocked after learning that she saw him as an enemy.

 

The only question that bothered him was the reason behind her hostility. Is she unfriendly to me solely because of my behavior, or is she angry because of Tina?

“I will not kick you out of the candidate list. Didn’t I reassure everyone that there shall be no favoritism in this partnership?” he questioned as he rubbed his forehead.

She flicked her hair. “Oh, is that so? I feel at ease then, but why are you waiting for me?”

“I’m bringing you to visit Grandma at the hospital,” Toby answered.

 

Sonia was slightly taken aback at the reason he offered.

“I’m sorry. I will not go with you. I came here in my car and I can drive there on my own,” she rejected him coolly.

 

Toby frowned at her and was about to reply when the elevator chimed before the doors slid open. A cart full of overflowing cardboard boxes suddenly appeared from within the elevator. Since the boxes were stacked high, one could not see the person wheeling it. Similarly, the said person could not see the road ahead and almost rammed into Sonia.

“Look out!” Toby’s eyes flickered and he sternly warned her.

As Sonia was confused by the situation, she only came to the realization when a great force knocked into her from behind in the next second, causing her to lurch to the front.
