Upon seeing the ridiculous comments that popped up in support of Tina’s false sob story as well as the wretched girl’s triumphant smirk, Sonia clenched her fist and slammed it on the desk in blatant fury. The loud bang that followed echoed around the room, sending ripples across the stifling silence.

Toby instantly reached for her wrist and lifted her hand for inspection.

“What are you doing?” Sonia pulled away and shot him a wary look.

When he saw how defensive she was of him, he was a little hurt. As he lowered his gaze, he answered quietly, “I only wanted to see whether you bruised your hand or something.”

 

She turned away from him and muttered, “Please, it’s not as if I was jackhammering the desk. There’s no bruise at all.”

He hummed in response. “Glad you’re okay and all, but the next time you’re angry, try not to beat up sturdy inanimate objects. You’ll only end up hurting yourself.”

“I know. There’s no need to nag,” she grumbled after briefly pursing her lips.

Toby drew his hand back and he was about to say something when the office door swung open from the outside.

The next second, Asher stormed into the room like an angry bull as he thundered, “What is this news about you delisting, Sonia?”
