Chapter 538 Toby’s Bodyguards

“Right away,” Tom replied solemnly, then left to carry out Toby’s orders.

Presently, Sonia lifted her arm to glance at her watch and saw that it was drawing close to 4.30PM. Letting her arm fall back to her side, she was about to bid goodbye to Toby when he beat her to the chase. “Well, if you’re going to sign off on the factory, then you should probably get going now. Go straight home as soon as you’re done, or it won’t be safe after nightfall.”

“Okay,” she agreed, rising to her feet. “Ill be leaving now.”

Just then, he picked up his phone and stopped her. “Hold on. I’ll get someone to escort you back.”

“Oh, that won’t be necessary. I can drive,” Sonia said, turning him down with a cursory wave of her hand.

He looked at her gravely and pointed out, “I think it’s entirely necessary. I don’t like the idea of leaving you on your own; who knows if Tina will ambush you along the way?”

Upon hearing this, Sonia fell silent, and she pictured herself driving along the way and running into Tina. She’d probably step on the gas and crash into my car, then hope that the impact would be enough to kill me.

Sonia shuddered at the eerie thought of this and decided to take up Toby’s offer. Bowing her head in polite gratitude, she said, “Thank you.”

He nodded once, then sent out instructions through his phone. After that, he set his phone aside and announced, “Done. You can head down to the lobby now; the team I’ve arranged to escort you will be waiting for you there.”

She gave a small nod. “Okay. I’ll get going now, then.”

Toby gave a casual flap of his hand to dismiss her. “Go on.”

With one last glance at his bandaged ankle and a gentle reminder that he should keep the area dry, Sonia slung her purse over her shoulder and walked out of his office.

As she stepped out of the elevator and into the lobby, she indeed came upon the men whom Toby had arranged to escort her. These men were uniformed bodyguards who towered over her and boasted strong, bulky physiques, attributes that instantly made her feel a sense of security.

That being said, what surprised Sonia the most was not the bodyguards’ physiques, but the way they intended to escort her. She would be driving back with one of their cars tailing her and the other in front of her.
