Chapter 496 Toby’s Getting Engaged

When the female assistant felt Sonia holding onto her, she thought she was about to be brought in for a lecture. Fear had just crept into her when she heard Sonia’s question. “What? Weren’t you about to reprimand me?” She was stunned.

The corner of Sonia’s lips twitched. “If I were to scold anyone, it would be your leader. What use is it for me to scold any of you assistants?”

Sonia’s fingers trembled as she clicked on the image, which revealed a shot of Toby and another woman standing in front of a hotel. The woman was holding onto Toby’s arm, and she was resting her upper body against his chest. Toby, on the other hand, had his head lowered to look at the woman—it was clear

Sonia let go of her mouse and slumped back into her office chair as she dug her teeth into her bottom lip. He’s really getting engaged to Lily, huh. Now I know why he decided to let go of me, and now I understand why he no longer needs me to care for him. It’s because he’s in love with Lily and is getting engaged to her.
