Chapter 798 The Laughing Stock of the Company

 

Toby ignored him and rapped his knuckles against the top of the front desk.

 

The receptionist at the front desk was in her seat with her head low as she jotted something down into her files, and she didn’t notice that there was someone at the counter at all until she heard the knock.

She jumped in her seat and stammered, “P-President Fuller!”

Toby frowned, but he didn’t look like he planned on giving her a hard time. He knew his presence was a terrifying one to entry-level employees, so he wasn’t surprised to see how intimidated the receptionist was. In fact, he was already used to being greeted with such fear and respect.

 

“Did anyone from Paradigm Co. come by?” he asked after withdrawing his hand from the countertop.

The receptionist blinked at him and repeated inquisitively, “Paradigm Co.?”

Toby hummed in response, and behind him, Tom immediately realized what was going on.
