Chapter 1038 Scandal

Seeing how Sonia would not tell him, Toby raised his eyebrow and decided not to force her. Instead, he let out a faint smile. “Fine, let’s not talk about Tom anymore. I’ll be feeling uncomfortable if you mention another guy. Why did you call me?”

“Sure.” He nodded without hesitation. “What do you want? As long as you want it, I’ll do anything for you.”

The way Toby stared at her was so serious that it made her shy. “Who needs a reward from you? Let’s get back to business. About the commerce port cooperation with Lane Corporation, is it your way to show your gratitude to Charles?”
