Sonia chewed on her lower lip as she pondered on the idea of burning the midnight oil.

Toby, on the other hand, was still in the main seat, and he grew sullen once more when he heard her request.

He had thought that she might ask him to clarify the points of discussion when she called him, but as it turned out, all she wanted was a copy of the security footage. She probably wants to replay the whole meeting in front of Carl or Charles!

Suppressing the frustration that boiled within him, Toby answered coldly, “The camera’s broken.”

 

“Broken?” Sonia froze, then became skeptical of this as she looked up at the security camera.

However, she was not at Paradigm Co., and she couldn’t just demand that the camera be checked to ascertain if it was working fine or not.

Just as she was seized with helplessness again, Toby added abruptly, “Go into my office.”

“What?” She gazed at him oddly. “Why do I have to go into your office?”

“You don’t have to. Unless you have no plans on handing in the analytical report tomorrow,” Toby said stonily, then grabbed his cane and walked out of the conference room.

It was only then that Sonia realized he had seen through her pretenses, and he was offering to explain to her in detail whatever had been discussed during the meeting. That being said, she was still surprised by his kind generosity.
