“I’m coming with you,” Charles said, springing up from his seat and looking very worried about her.

Feeling touched and amused at the same time, Sonia turned him down. “It’s fine. I’m just pregnant, not injured. I don’t need you to come with me. That’s it. I’m going now.” With that said, she grabbed her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and left the office. Then, she drove to the hotel.

 

Coincidentally, when she reached the doors of the hotel, she ran into Toby and Tom, who had also just arrived and looked a little surprised because they weren’t expecting to run into her at the entrance as well.

“Hello, Miss Reed,” Tom greeted.

In reply, she nodded slightly and turned to Toby to greet him. “Greetings, President Fuller.”

He simply grunted a reply and stopped in his tracks, thinking to let her through the door first. However, Sonia was having the same intention to let him in first. After all, Toby was the partnership initiator as well as the owner of this hotel. No matter what, he had to be the one to walk ahead.

 

As a result, all three of them stood at the hotel entrance awkwardly with none of them taking the lead to go in.

In the end, it was Tom who snapped back and figured out Sonia’s intentions. Clearing his throat, he then whispered to Toby, “President Fuller, Miss Reed is letting you in first. I know you want to let her go first, but as you’re the initiator of the collaboration, she wouldn’t go in unless you do.”
