Sonia was surprised to see Tom, but she was even more surprised when he told her to get into the car. She glanced toward the back seat window. It was tinted, so she couldn’t tell if there was anyone sitting in the back. “Do I have to do what you say?” She was reluctant to go along with Tom’s words.

“President Fuller is the one who told you to get in,” Tom replied.

“No thanks.” Sonia’s gaze darkened when she heard Toby’s name. Similarly, Toby’s expression dimmed when he heard her rejection from his seat in the back of the Maybach. He immediately lowered his window to stick his stern, cold face out in the cold air. “Get in!” His voice made it clear that there was no room for negotiation.

Sonia shifted her calm gaze toward him. “I just said that there’s no need for that, President Fuller. Don’t you understand my words?” What’s up with this guy? Isn’t it normal for me to decline his offer? I’m not related to him, anyway. Who is he to get mad at me? What an odd guy.

He frowned when he heard the impatience in her voice. He was tempted to get Tom to drive off since she refused to get in. But he held his temper back when he saw her rosy cheeks that were flushed from the piercing cold. “What are you doing here?” he asked in a deep voice.

She could tell that he was tempted to leave, yet she didn’t know what made him stay. She couldn’t be bothered to guess what was going on in his mind. “I’m waiting for the tow truck,” she uttered flatly.

“It looks like Miss Reed’s car broke down, President Fuller,” Tom added after he took a glance at Sonia’s car.

Toby raised an eyebrow. I see. That explains why she’s squatting by the side of the road. “A major accident occurred on the highway just miles away from here, and the roads haven’t been cleared. I don’t think the tow truck will reach you anytime soon. You can get into the car now, or you can continue to wait here until the skies turn dark,” Toby uttered.

There was an accident. That’s why the tow truck is taking so long, Sonia thought as she squeezed her brows together. “I’m sorry, President Fuller. I can’t leave my car here; things would get more troublesome for me if I do that.” Sonia pressed her lips together after she finished her sentence. She knew that her license might be revoked if she was caught leaving her car on the road.

Toby shot his assistant a glare after he heard what Sonia said. Tom tugged his lips into a bitter smile when he understood what Toby meant. “Hop on, Miss Reed. I’ll deal with your car.”
