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?"

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

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