Chapter 1038

Seeing how Sonia would not tell him, Toby raised his eyebrow and decided not to force her. Instead, he let out a faint smile. "Fine, let's not talk about Tom anymore. I'll be feeling uncomfortable if you mention another guy. Why did you call me?"

She pouted. "Why are you so sure that something happens whenever I call you? What if I'm just bored and need someone to talk to?"

He chuckled lightly. "Because I know that you're not someone who will chat with me during working hours."

He pointed behind her through the screen. She turned her head to look at the book rack, which was behind her. He was implying that both of them were working at the moment.

As he had mentioned, she would not call someone for something trivial or text someone else to slack off during office hours.

Even Toby himself was not an exception. Therefore, there had to be a reason for her to contact him right now.

She smiled. "Okay. Since you know me that well, I'll—"

"Reward me?" he internipted.

Sonia gave an eye-roll. "Don't interrupt me. Who says I'm going to reward you?"

"But I know you all too well. Don't I deserve something?" He looked at her.

She pouted. "If we put it that way, I know you very well too. Shouldn't you reward me as well?"

"Sure." He nodded without hesitation. "What do you want? As long as you want it, I'll do anything for you."
