Chapter 1036

On the other side of the line, Brian shuddered upon hearing Toni's forewarning. His expression turned solemn and he nodded. "I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Brown. Please inform President Fuller that there will be no second time."

He was not that dull. Some things were meant to be done only once; repeating the same thing would be digging one's own grave.

"Okay. If there's nothing else, I shall end the call." Tom hummed before hanging up the phone. Following that, he informed Toby about Brian's thank-you call through text.

In Bayside Residence, Toby was going to the room for a nap after drying his hair. Taking merely one step forward, he heard his phone ringing in the bathrobe pocket. He checked the message and replied 'Got it.' before keeping it and heading toward the room.

He stood beside the bed while looking at the woman, who was fast asleep with red cheeks. Smiling helplessly, he bent over to lightly pinch her nose. He muttered, "You heartless one. How could you fall asleep when someone is actually scheming against you instead of helping you?"

"Hmph..." With her nose pinched, Sonia could not breathe and frowned while squirming.

Noticing that she was going to wake up, he released his hand and patted her shoulder gently to lull her to dreamland again. Soon, she stopped moving and was in a deep slumber.

He let out a soft chuckle and lifted the blanket to tuck himself in bed. After hugging her in his arms, he turned off the lights and closed his eyes.

The next day, Sonia was dealing with some documents in her office when Charles rang her.

"Sonia, what happened?" he questioned as soon as the line got through.
