Chapter 1107 Keeping the Photo
Oh my God, my ship is sailing right in front of me!! This is so romantic! Also, President Fuller is so gentle toward Miss Reed. He isn’t as cold to her as he did to me.
This must be what they meant online when they said that he was only gentle toward one person. As expected, a man needs to be as caring as President Fuller so a girl can feel safe.
I don’t like men that are too soft. Men like President Fuller are the most popular. With both hands on her cheeks, she looked at Toby and Sonia with an absentminded smile.
Her obvious gaze made it hard for them to ignore it. As such, the two then looked at each before noticing the amusement in each other’s eyes. After that, Toby locked the phone and handed it back to the girl. “I’m sorry for taking your phone. Here.”
The girl accepted it in a daze before replying timidly, “I-It’s fine.”
“You frightened her.” Sonia slapped the man’s arm. Toby frowned. “I didn’t.”
He did not do anything to the girl, so much as even glanced at her coldly. Sonia is framing me. Pursing his lips, he looked at Sonia with a wronged gaze.
The girl quickly waved her hands. “You’re mistaken, Miss Reed. President Fuller didn’t frighten me. I am afraid of him, so don’t blame him.”
“Afraid of me?” Toby’s frown deepened. “I didn’t do anything to you, so why are you afraid of me?”
The girl tucked her chin in and lowered her head without responding.
On the other hand, Sonia smiled and explained on her behalf, “You don’t need to do anything. Just your presence alone can intimidate anyone.”
“What do you mean?” The man was upset at her comment.
She looked at him while smiling. “What do I mean? Look at how emotionless your expression and how sharp your gaze is. Anybody would think that you’re about to teach them a lesson.”
That’s right!
The girl agreed with Sonia inside.
Closing his eyes, Toby fell into self-doubt.
Am I really so intimidating?
“I’ll change from now on,” Toby replied calmly.
Yet, before Sonia could say no, the girl answered on her behalf, “No, President Fuller. You don’t have to change. You’re the best when you only treat Miss Reed like she’s the only one in your world. Who cares about how you treat others? They may be afraid of you, but it’s fine as long as Miss Reed isn’t. Right, Miss Reed?”
The girl looked expectantly at Sonia with the words ‘praise me’ written on her face.
As a result, Sonia gave her a thumbs up satisfyingly.
Seeing how she responded, the girl smiled so widely that her eyes became a slit.
Meanwhile, Toby praised the girl too. “You’re right. Besides, you did a good job, rebuking those people online.”
The girl did not expect nor imagine that she would ever receive Toby’s praise. Naturally, she dove into a pool of disbelief and excitement upon hearing his words.
Oh my world. President Fuller just praised me.
Mom, this is the highlight of my life.
Seeing how excited the girl was, Sonia smiled while shaking her head. “Are you really that happy?”
“I am.” The smile on the girl’s face was about to overflow. “I only came out here because I wanted to buy some snacks. Normally, I don’t ’cause I’m an introvert. I never thought that I would be so lucky to see you and President Fuller grocery shopping. Also, I saw how well you two were getting along. I think I’m the only fan to witness this. At last, I even got praises from both of you, so of course, I’m happy! Overjoyed, even.”
The girl then jumped around excitedly with her phone in her hands.
Then, she recalled something and stopped before looking at Toby and Sonia. “Miss Reed, do you and President Fuller live around here?”
“Yup.” Sonia nodded.
The girls’ eyes shone. “You really live around here?”
“We do.” Sonia nodded.
“But, with you and President Fuller’s stature, shouldn’t you be living in a wealthier area?” The girl pointed at Sonia before pointing at Toby.
Although the neighborhood is touted as a place for the rich to stay, the homeowners of Bayside Residence knew that this was for the well-off, as the truly rich would think of this place as more like a slum.
The truly wealthy all had villas and estates of their own, for they would not want to live in a neighborhood with so many people.
This was why the girl was so shocked to know they resided here.
“We’re only living here temporarily.” Toby held Sonia’s hands and calmly stated, “We’ll move in the future.”
Sonia hugged the man’s arm and added, “That’s right. It’s my property, not his. He moved in with me for some time now.”
She gently tapped the man’s arm while stating that and Toby silently agreed with her.
Nodding, the girl stated, “So, I see. Then, doesn’t that mean that I missed a lot of chances to bump into you guys?”
The girl looked very forlorn all of a sudden.
Seeing this, Sonia laughed. “Now that you know we’re living here temporarily, that means that we might run into each other in the future.”
“That’s right.” Her words of comfort made sense to the girl as she became happy again.
Sonia pursed her lips and smiled.
What a charming girl.
Checking the time on her watch, Sonia noticed that the time was getting late, so she let go of Toby’s arm and said, “Alright now, little girl. We still have things to buy, so let’s end here. We’ll talk if we see each other again. It’s my honor to be able to meet a fan such as yourself.”
Sonia extended her arm.
The girl held her hand in shock. “O-Okay, Miss Reed. It’s my honor to be able to meet you and President Fuller. This is my luckiest day. I hope you two live a happy life.”
She then looked at Toby. “President Fuller, you must treat Miss Reed with all your heart and never let her down, especially the incident concerning that crazy lady from the Lore Family. You should teach her a proper lesson. After all, she wronged Miss Reed. You can’t let her off the hook.”
Toby smiled. “I won’t.”
“That’s that, then.” The girl was reluctant to let go of her hand.
Toby nodded as a promise with the girl.
Fidgeting her fingers, the girl started to draw circles with the tip of her foot as she became shy. “Also…”
“Just say what you want. It’s okay,” Sonia said gently.
After hearing the encouragement, the girl calmed down and clenched her fists before voicing her thoughts, “Can I keep the picture I took earlier? I also want to upload it. I believe that the other fans will be green with envy when they see it. Miss Reed, President Fuller, may I?”
She looked at them carefully with expectant eyes. At that moment, she looked like an adorable tiny animal.
This sight made Sonia reluctant to reject her. Yet, she could not decide on her lonesome, so she turned and looked at the man.
Toby nodded gently at her. “Do what you wish. You don’t need my permission.”
“If you say so. I’ll decide, then?” Sonia smiled.
Toby nodded. “Okay.”
“Great.” Sonia turned back and focused her gaze on the girl. “Keep it if you want; upload it if you wish. But, I have a request.”
