Upon hearing that the sounds of the footsteps were drawing nearer, the person outside the office looked around and turned around immediately. With quick steps, he darted toward the emergency staircase. After waiting for a couple of minutes, he heard the elevator doors closing, then he sneaked out of the emergency staircase. He stole a glance at Sonia’s office, whisked out his cell phone and made a call.

At Fuller Group, Tom was sorting out the documents on Toby’s desk when his cell phone rang. Stopping the work in his hands, he then said to Toby, “President Fuller, I’m going to pick up a call.”

 

Toby was typing something on his computer, and when he heard him, he grunted his approval without lifting his head.

With the permission given, Tom took out his cell phone, and his eyes sparkled when he saw the caller ID. “President Fuller, it’s Cooper.”

“Who?” Toby asked with a frown, not realizing whom he meant.

“That’s the assistant we bribed in Paradigm the last time,” Tom reminded him. “He’s always sending documents to Miss Reed’s office. That’s why we decided to bribe him so that he would look out for news about the child Miss Reed is pregnant with. He hasn’t called us previously, but he must be calling now because he has news about Miss Reed’s pregnancy.”

 

Upon hearing that, Toby jerked his head up. “Answer it,” he ordered without hiding the urgency in his voice.

“Alright,” Tom said and picked up the call.
