At the sight of her confidence, Toby shook his head with a laugh. "All right. I'll leave it to you, then. Show me what you've learned."

He wanted to see if she really didn't need him anymore.

Sonia turned and glowered at him. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing. I'm just teaching an ungrateful person a lesson," he replied with a shrug.

She shot him a glare. "Hey, who are you calling ungrateful?"

"I'm not wrong." Toby unfolded his arms and spread them outward. "I just finished teaching you, and you pushed me aside now that you don't have a use for me. If that isn't being ungrateful, what is it? Not only that, but you don't have a conscience either."
