Chapter 751 Sonia’s Worry

Toby raised his eyebrows, feeling slightly surprised about Sonia’s indirect way of complimenting him, making his day because he reckoned she approved of him. “Eat more if you like it. There’s plenty left for both of us.” Toby smiled and pulled the chair, sitting down on it before the two of them began to dig in.

When they were halfway through enjoying their meal, Toby put down his bowl and gazed at Sonia. “Stay home at rest while I’ll head out to take care of some business. I’ll be back when I’m done.”

“Sure.” Sonia nodded. “Actually, you don’t really have to keep me company because I’m going to work later.”

“Work?” Toby glimpsed at the balcony and looked back at the lady with a strange gaze. “Are you sure about that?”

“Yeah.” Sonia nodded, still unable to notice Toby’s unusual response.

Toby propped his head and smiled ambiguously at her. “Do you have any idea what time it is now?”

Sonia’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that, as she had a bad feeling that surged through her. “W-What time is it now?” Don’t tell me it’s noon now.

Then, Toby reached for his phone and showed it to Sonia, who got stunned after looking at the time on the screen. “Sixteen hundred hours?” According to the time in Westsanshire, it should be around 4 PM now. At the thought of that, she exclaimed with her mouth wide agape in disbelief. “What?! I was asleep for so long?!”

“You were beat and exhausted, so it’s not surprising that you had a long sleep.” Toby put away his phone and nodded.

“What do you mean it’s not surprising?” Sonia covered her face in frustration. “I was supposed to visit the site and inspect the renovation, but…” The renovation team should already be gone by now, yet here I thought it was just noon by now after I woke up. Wait a second.

“By the way, when did you wake up?” Sonia stared at the man and asked.
