Chapter 1225

Sonia smiled gently at the young lady. "Of course. In fact, I will always support any one of you as long as you're working hard for your future. Therefore, I want you to know that there is nothing you should worry about besides working toward your goal."

Rita was touched upon hearing Sonia's words. She then wrapped her arms around the document and nodded with a bashful smile on her face. "Loud and clear, President Reed. You're such a kind employer."

"Thanks for the endorsement. Is there anything else?" Sonia was happy to hear her subordinate's compliment.

"Actually… yes. The departmental managers wanted me to ask you and see if you're done with the document they submitted earlier so they can proceed further."

Sonia's smile immediately stiffened when she heard Rita's words. The next second, she quickly shifted her gaze back to the document she was reading while awkwardly glimpsing the pile of files beside her. Oh my god! This is awkward. She then looked at Rita with a brittle smile. "Nope, I'm not done here. I wasn't in the right state of mind earlier, so I'm going to need more time. Please tell the departmental managers that I'll have the documents sent to them in an hour." In response, Rita smiled and nodded without asking Sonia why she was distracted before she excused herself.

As soon as Rita left, Sonia heaved a sigh of relief and leaned back on her chair, fixing her eyes on the ceiling. Now, pulling a prank on Toby is one of the biggest mistakes I've made today. If I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have been bothered by the thought that Toby might be mad. It's taken a toll on my productivity. I guess that's why we shouldn't do anything against our conscience because what goes around comes around.

At the thought of that, Sonia smiled helplessly and reached for her cell phone to send Toby a text message in an attempt to sound him out and see whether he was furious. However, instead of sending him a text message, she sent him an emoji and spent the next few moments staring at her phone, her heart beating like a jackhammer.

Oh dear, will he reply? Will Toby reply? If he does reply, that means things are not as bad as I think, and all I have to do is make him happy again; but if he doesn't, then I guess I'm screwed. That probably means he is mad.

Disturbed by the thought of the worst-case scenario, Sonia could not get over her anxiety as she kept praying for Toby to reply. Please! I hope Toby isn't too busy at the moment. If he is, he is probably going to miss my message for a while. If that's the case, I wouldn't be able to know whether he is really mad or not.


While Sonia was overwhelmed by her anxiety, Toby was talking to someone else over the phone in front of the window. "Alright, I heard you…" Before he could finish his sentence, he felt the vibration from his phone and frowned. Thus, he took a look at his phone and realized it was a message from Sonia. With a pair of knitted eyebrows, he lightened up and chuckled. "Haha." I bet she is sending this message to admit her mistake. However, the person on the other side of the phone had no idea what was going on. Thus, he couldn't help but feel worried when he heard Toby's chuckle.

"M-Mr. Fuller, did I say anything wrong?" the person nervously asked, wondering why Toby would suddenly chuckle. Did I say anything funny?

Meanwhile, Toby decided to check out Sonia's message later and resumed his tele-conversation, putting his phone back to his ear. "No, it has nothing to do with what you said. It was my kitty, actually."

"Your kitty?" The person was puzzled.

As Toby replied with an affirmative hum, the person on the other side of the phone laughed out loud in relief. "I didn't know you had a pet cat."

In response, Toby only chuckled without saying a single word. Yeah, she is a kitty, isn't she? Temperamental yet clingy and playful, just like a cat. At the thought of that, he couldn't help but feel his cheek with a pair of smiling eyes that showed on his face.

In the meantime, the person on the other side of the phone felt goosebumps running all over his skin when he heard Toby's chuckle once again, finding it hard to believe his ears. Already surprised by the fact that Toby had a pet 'cat', he was even more stunned to hear his tender chuckle. After all, Toby had always seemed like an indifferent man who barely smiled, as neither of them had actually witnessed that before. Therefore, the person to whom Toby was speaking couldn't believe that he had just heard Toby's chuckle. Although he couldn't see Toby's reaction when he was chuckling, he was able to imagine it, thanks to the stimulation of what he heard. However, what surprised him the most was not Toby's chuckle but instead the fact that he had a pet 'cat'.

A pet cat? Only a kind-hearted man would own a pet cat, but a nonchalant man like Mr. Fuller is far from that kind of person. Where did an impatient man like him find kindness and love for small animals? Well, I'm sure Mr. Fuller has an absolute love for the cat he owns, or he wouldn't have chuckled so obviously. No one is going to believe what I just heard anyway because no one has ever seen or heard a chuckle like that from Mr. Fuller.

While Sonie wes overwhelmed by her enxiety, Toby wes telking to someone else over the phone in front of the window. "Alright, I heerd you…" Before he could finish his sentence, he felt the vibretion from his phone end frowned. Thus, he took e look et his phone end reelized it wes e messege from Sonie.
