Chapter 1009 Why He Quit Smoking

When Tom caught up to Toby, the latter was already in front of the elevator. Seeing how the man gave off an oppressive aura through every pore, he knew that he was in a bad mood at the moment. After a moment’s thought, he fished his cigarette pack from his pocket, shook a cigarette out of it, and handed the cigarette to the man. “Wanna smoke a cigarette, President Fuller?”

Toby darted a look at it before straightening up. “No, I don’t need it. I’ve quit smoking.”

“Huh?” Tom was startled. “You’ve quit smoking?” When was that? Why don’t I know about that? Well, President Fuller wasn’t a heavy smoker, but he’d occasionally smoke a cigarette or two. I’ve not heard of him quitting smoking, though.

Raising his chin slightly, Toby replied with a note of unconcealed pride in his voice, “I quit smoking just a few days ago. Little Leaf forbade me to smoke, saying that it was bad for my health. Since she cares so much about me, how could I disappoint her?”

“Uh…” Tom’s lips twitched. “I see. Alright then, I’ll smoke the cigarette myself,” he said while putting away the cigarette.

Toby frowned. “You’re not allowed to smoke as well.”

Tom was just about to put the cigarette between his lips when he heard this. “Why?” he couldn’t help but ask curiously. “Could it be that you’re also concerned about my health, President Fuller?” Aww, I’m so touched! I’ve been working for this mean boss for over ten years.

Not only has he never cared about me, but he also leaves all kinds of dirty and heavy work to me. It’s no exaggeration to say that he’s a bully who exploits his employees. I thought I’d keep on living under his exploitation, but to think that he has finally become more like a human now! Really, I’m so touched. This is all thanks to Miss Reed’s taming of him!

Just when he was inwardly walking on air, Toby’s response dampened his spirits like a bucket of cold water pouring down on him, making him feel touched for nothing. “What are you dreaming about? Why would I care about a guy like you?”

Toby looked at him with a frown of disgust. “I forbid you to smoke because I don’t want to betray Little Leaf’s concern for me by breathing in secondhand smoke from you. What does that have to do with you?”

Ha ha. Speechless, Tom put his cigarette back into his cigarette pack with an expressionless face. I should’ve thought of this long ago. How could the wicked boss for whom I’ve worked for over ten years become so humane all of a sudden? If he were humane, he would’ve done so long ago, no?
