This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

At the thought that Charles might get into trouble, Daphne felt her stomach twist, and without another word, she rushed out of the conference room to chase after him.

When she had left, Sonia resumed her seat and patted her cheeks tiredly, then took out her phone to text Toby. ‘Do you think I’m the one at fault here?’

Meanwhile, Toby had been busy going through documents when he heard his phone buzz with a new message. He put down his pen and grabbed his phone to take a look.

A gentle smile broke out over his impassive face when he saw that it was a message from Sonia. He clicked into it, only to be a little confused when he saw that there was no context to her message. At last, he decided to call her instead of making guesses.

Sonia, on the other hand, was waiting for Toby’s reply, and she jumped when her phone rang instead. She scrambled to hold onto her phone, almost dropping it in the process. Having recomposed herself, she answered the incoming call and pressed the phone to her ear, greeting, “Hello?”

Toby sounded concerned as he asked, “Hey, did something happen?”

She bit her lip and said slowly, “Not exactly. It’s just Charles.” She told Toby about the conversation she had had with Charles earlier, then asked with a hollow look in her eyes, “So, do you think I’m the one at fault here?”

Amusement flashed across Toby’s features when he heard the whole story, and his warm smile was like springtime after all the ice melted. “You did the right thing. If you can’t reciprocate his feelings, then putting a stop to this now would be better than letting him fall deeper. He’d only end up getting hurt in the end.”

“That’s what I thought,” Sonia said, relieved to hear that he agreed with her. It was as if his words had led her out of her daze.

“I’m really happy,” Toby said.

She tipped her head to one side and asked, “What are you happy about?”

“I’m really happy that you came to me to clear your doubts,” he pointed out, chuckling lightly.

A flustered look flashed in her eyes as she retorted, “Hey, I only came to you because I don’t know who else to talk to. You’re just a substitute at best.”

“Still, I’m really happy about it,” he countered easily. Besides, I can tell whether or not you see me as a substitute.

“Okay, let’s just talk about something else. How’s your ankle?” Sonia asked out of concern, straightening up in her seat.

Toby glanced down at his injured ankle and answered, “It’s not as painful as it was yesterday, but I still can’t walk.”
