Toby didn’t answer that. Instead, he asked, “Are you at the company now?”

“Yes.” Tina nodded. “I’m at the lobby.”

Toby massaged his forehead. “I see. We can talk after the meeting’s done, so wait for me there.” With that, he ended the call.

Tina stomped her foot angrily. He hung up on me! That’s the first time he did that.

After Toby came back into the conference room, everyone stopped gossiping. Toby’s face fell, and when he realized Sonia was smirking at him, he knew everyone was talking about him in his absence. “Let’s resume the meeting,” he said darkly.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, but eventually, it came to an end.

Everyone started filing out, and Sonia was the last one to go, as usual. Before she could get out, Toby stopped her. “A minute, please.”

“Yes, Mr. Fuller?” Sonia stopped.

Toby handed a file to her.

“And this is?” She took it from him, though she was curious about the content.

“Titus’ proposal. The one Tina switched. I thought it was yours, so I added a lot of suggestions. You can take a look. It’ll help with the project,” he explained calmly.

Sonia opened the file and saw the suggestions written in red. She looked at them for a few moments and closed the file. “Why’d you do this for me, Mr. Fuller?” She looked at him curiously.

Nobody knew the proposal was Titus’, so everyone thought it was hers. Why’d he make so many suggestions? Won’t it waste his time? There was no need for that. The amount of suggestions alone was enough to show how rubbish the proposal was. He could have just tossed it in the bin and called it a day. So why did he help me out? Weird.

Toby was surprised she’d ask that, so he looked downward to hide that look in his eyes. “I helped everyone, not just you.”

“I see.” Sonia nodded, obviously believing that excuse. He doesn’t like me, so there’s no point in specially helping me out. “I see. I’ll take your suggestions into account. Thank you.” She bowed to him.
