Chapter 1002 Picking Fights at the Door
Toby wanted to let Charles know that he was aware of their lunch together.
Simultaneously, he wanted Charles to dispel the secret hilarity about eating with Little Leaf that he had assumed Toby was unaware of.
Tom had known Toby for many years and could tell what he meant and what he was thinking just by looking at him.
As such, Tom’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. President Fuller is so childish!
He just said that he won’t be jealous of Miss Reed and Mr. Lane having lunch together, because he’s broad-minded.
And now, he wants to prove his existence in front of Mr. Lane by reminding him that he comes first to Sonia??
Isn’t this a bit childish?
“Why are you staring at me like that?” Toby asked coldly with his brows furrowed when he saw Tom’s speechless expression in the rearview mirror.
Tom realized that he had been exposed, so he coughed and smiled quickly. “No, President Fuller. You’re mistaken. I wasn’t staring at you. I was thinking about something else.”
“Huh. Do you think I believe it?” Toby sneered.
Tom quickly lowered his head and fell silent when he heard that.
“Just do as I say,” Toby reminded as he opened the door to exit the car.
“Yes,” Tom replied before scurrying down the car. All of a sudden, a thought flashed through his mind, so he raised his head and carefully examined Toby’s back. “Miss Reed will definitely think we sent someone to follow her, President Fuller. Are you not concerned that she will become enraged by this misunderstanding?”
Toby paused briefly, his face slightly frozen as he tidied up his cuffs.
He clearly never considered this.
When he heard Charles was having lunch with Sonia, he simply wanted to brag in front of the other man. I should’ve thought of that.
When Tom noticed Toby was quiet, he seemed to understand something and fell silent.
After a few seconds, Toby turned around and looked at Tom. “It’s none of your concern. I’ll take care of it myself. All you have to do is follow my instructions.”
“Yes,” Tom answered, twitching the corner of his mouth. However, he was secretly grumbling. He said he will handle it? How will he deal with it??
He’ll probably coax Miss Reed as he always does.
I’m sure Miss Reed will easily be amused with some nice, sweet words.
President Fuller must have thought so too…
Hmph! Men! Tom snubbed his nose at Toby.
Toby had no idea Tom was looking down on him. After straightening his clothes, he walked toward the hotel door.
Tom was quick to follow, pulling out his phone and ordering his subordinates to carry out Toby’s orders.
Soon, they were at the door of a presidential suite on the hotel’s top floor.
Toby took a step back, turned his head and gave Tom a look.
The witty assistant, on the other hand, nodded knowingly and took a step forward before ringing the doorbell.
Thereafter, a voice from the loudspeaker located above Tom’s head asked, “Who is it?”
He raised his head, fixed his gaze on the loudspeaker and responded, “Is this Mr. Connor’s assistant, Mr. Little? Hello, my name is Tom Brown and I work as Toby Fuller’s assistant.”
Xander was sluggish in the room, but his expression changed dramatically when he heard Tom’s words. He was wide awake now and his eyes had widened from the shock.
What? It is Toby’s assistant, Tom, standing outside the door!
Xander’s expression darkened as he became panicked and apprehensive.
He quickly took a deep breath to regain his composure and leaned against the door to avoid losing the battle. With lowered eyelids, he greeted, “Oh! It’s Mr. Brown, President Fuller’s assistant. Good day, Mr. Brown. May I know how I can help you?”
They had been in Seafield for a long time and they did not deliberately hide their location, therefore, President Fuller could not have been unaware of their arrival.
After all, Mr. Salzburg had also gone in search of Toby’s woman.
Toby’s woman must have informed him that Mr. Salzburg had arrived.
Hence, Toby had known Mr. Salzburg was coming to Seafield from the beginning, but he remained nonchalant for the past few days as if he was completely unaware of Mr. Salzburg’s arrival.
Xander had assumed that Toby would keep up his pretense until Mr. Salzburg left Seafield and returned to Westsanshire.
However, Toby’s entourage arrived unexpectedly today.
This had to be what Toby meant!
When Tom heard Xander’s question and turned around, he motioned to Toby for assistance.
Nevertheless, the man remained silent and only raised his chin.
Tom understood his boss’ action in an instant, so he turned around and replied impatiently, “President Fuller travels all the way here to see Mr. Connor. We hope that you will be able to invite Mr. Connor to come forward and greet President Fuller. Otherwise, don’t hold it against us for breaking in and humiliating Mr. Connor. We’re warning you ahead of time.”
Tom had no desire to befriend Connor or his subordinates as there was no need to beat around the bush.
Furthermore, Tom and Toby came here to meet Connor on their own initiative, so Connor should be grateful to them and extend a warm welcome to them.
After all, Toby could simply disregard Connor because of his inferior identity even if the latter begged to meet him one day.
As a result, Tom no longer had to be polite to Connor and his people because of their identities; he could simply get straight to the point.
Of course, Toby had given him the permission to do so.
Xander, who was standing on the other side of the door, was enraged and gritted his teeth upon hearing Tom’s unkind and harsh words.
Nonetheless, Xander was rational and he knew that the man outside was one of Toby’s lackeys. Therefore, he could not afford to offend Tom right now; he needed to be patient for the time being, no matter how angry he was.
Xander’s face was gloomy as he took another breath, but he politely replied, “I understand that President Fuller has requested to meet with our boss. I’ll report to Mr. Salzburg now. Please wait for a moment, Mr. Brown.”
“Hurry up! President Fuller is right next to me, so don’t make him wait too long. Or else, believe it or not, I’ll kick down the door,” Tom yelled in rage, crossing his arms in a fierce gesture he had learned from Zane.
Undoubtedly, Xander was fuming, though he had no choice but to grit his teeth and respond, “Mr. Brown Zhang, rest assured, Mr. Salzburg will be here shortly.”
After he finished speaking, he squeezed his hands tightly together and walked into the house.
Tom assumed Xander had left when he heard silence from his end. “President Fuller, what do you think of my performance earlier?” he asked, turning his head to Toby while flashing a smile.
“Not bad,” Toby complimented with his lips pursed.
Tom grinned when he heard that. “Thank you for your kind words. Mr. Coleman taught me this. Despite his lack of trustworthiness in daily circumstances, he excels during crises.”
At the very least, his demeanor appeared to be highly offensive.
At first, Tom had no desire to learn; after all, he was part of the elite, so how could he learn hooliganism?
However, learning was required as Mr. Coleman’s hooliganism was lethal when it came to enraging people.
Toby had a higher status than Connor in both Seafield and Westsanshire. Connor should be the one who paid a visit to him instead. Now that Toby had taken the initiative to see Connor, it implied that he wanted to retaliate.
As a result, Tom was putting on a show earlier to let Connor know that Toby had come to visit him. Since Toby was the far more superior one, Connor must not disrespect him at all costs.
