Chapter 726 Two Childish Men

“No. I’ll stay here with you.” Toby went to the couch and took a seat.

Sonia didn’t chase him out, and she went back to her desk. “Sure. As long as you’re not bored out of your mind.”

“Do I look like the kind of guy who gets bored easily?” Toby poured a cup of tea for himself and smiled.

Sonia smiled at him, but she said nothing. Then, she made a call.

When Toby saw her putting her phone against her ear, he rubbed the side of the cup. “Who are you calling?”

Since the call hadn’t gone through yet, Sonia took a second to answer, “Charles.”

Toby frowned. “Lane?”

“Yes.”

“Why are you calling him?” He sounded jealous. He knew Charles had given up on Sonia, but he knew the guy still had feelings for her, and that alone made Toby dislike him.

Sonia knew why Toby’s face fell, and she shook her head. “I want to thank him. He’s the first one who tried to clear my name right after Jessica launched her smear campaign. Oh, and Zane too, so I’ll have to thank him later. Stop getting jealous.”

Toby grunted and stayed quiet. Fine. I’ll let this one slide because they helped her. Despite him thinking that, he still stared at Sonia and listened closely in case the conversation got out of hand.

Sonia felt his gaze, and she knew why he was looking. She shook her head in amusement.

Charles heard her laughter, and he was confused. “Why are you laughing, Sonia?” Did I crack a joke or something? I don’t think I did.
