Chapter 31

Toby lowered his gaze. It’s fine. Lets go on.Sonia placed her phone aside as she nodded. Nearly an hour had passed when Toby finished explaining the details to Sonia. Sonia gave him a rare smile as she shut her notebook. Thank you, President Fuller. I think Ive understood most of it. Ill just need to do some reading on my own once I get home tonight.” 

That‘s great. Well be having a tour of the factory at 9.00AM tomorrow. Dont be late.Toby uttered as he got to his feet

Right then, Tom opened the doors to the meeting room and pushed a trolley in. There were tons of deliciouslooking dishes placed on it, and the mouthwatering scent quickly filled the room. Sonia hugged her notebook against her chest. Ill make a move now since its time for your lunch, President Fuller. Goodbye.”

Well, I feel rather bad for President Fuller because he needs to use their partnership to get Miss Reed to share a meal with him
