Chapter 772 Interception
When Toby heard Sonia, he was stunned for a few seconds before he stared at Sonia in disbelief. “What did you just say? You want to accompany me to work?”
“Yeah.” Sonia nodded.
Upon getting the confirmation that he didn’t mishear her, his disbelief turned into happiness. “Why would you suddenly want to accompany me to work?”
While folding her coat, Sonia replied, “Because you’re injured.”
Toby touched the bandage that was wrapped around his forehead. “I wouldn’t call this an injury, though.”
He didn’t sustain any heavy injury that needed him to be under others’ surveillance or assistance, as he only suffered a slight scratch due to him banging the back of his head.
“Who says that it’s not?” Sonia pulled his hand away from his forehead. “You knocked your head, after all. What if you get nauseous symptoms later on?”
Who could tell if something like that would happen later on?
In short, Sonia was worried about Toby resuming work. She knew him well enough to know that he wouldn’t stop once he started working, which was bad for his body.
Thus, Sonia had decided to accompany Toby for a day so that she wouldn’t be worried about him.
“I won’t.” Toby pressed Sonia’s hand slightly. “Why would I feel nauseous when I don’t have a concussion? You don’t have to come along.”
“Are you sure?” Sonia narrowed her eyes at him.
At the same time, he pursed his lips, and a hint of hesitation flashed past his eyes before he finally nodded. “Yes.”
However, Sonia rolled her eyes. “That’s enough. You need to tell me what you really think. To be honest, you wanted me to accompany you, didn’t you? If not, your eyes wouldn’t have brightened up when you heard my question. Besides, why did you have a moment of hesitation just now?”
An awkward look appeared on Toby’s face after his lover exposed him for not being truthful.
Although he had to admit that he was pleased to know that Sonia wanted to accompany him to work, he didn’t want her to know how happy he felt, so he acted coldly.
Nevertheless, Toby didn’t expect Sonia to notice his excitement, despite what he said.
Still, he was relieved that Sonia had exposed him because he got worried that Sonia might drop the idea of accompanying him to work, and he really didn’t want that.
Not knowing what Toby was thinking, Sonia frowned and urged when Toby kept quiet. “Come on, do you want me to go with you? If you really don’t want me to go, I won’t go.”
While Toby still remained quiet, he made his intentions clear by holding onto her hand.
When Sonia lowered her head and looked at their intertwined hands, she couldn’t help but smile. “How can someone as shameless as you get so bashful at times?”
Clearing his throat, Toby replied, “My reaction varies depending on the situation.”
Sonia’s lips twitched a little. “Enough of that. Let’s get you discharged. You don’t want to take up other patients’ spaces, don’t you?”
“Yeah.” Toby nodded.
Then, the two of them held hands and left the room together. At the same time, Tom was waiting for Toby and Sonia at the hospital’s parking lot.
Upon Toby and Sonia’s arrival, Tom quickly kept his phone and went forward to help them carry their stuff.
Nevertheless, Toby didn’t have much to take with him as he was only admitted for a day, so Tom only helped Sonia carry the daily necessities she had packed for Toby.
When Sonia was informed about Toby’s accident, she reacted quickly by packing up the essential necessities for Toby, considering he might be admitted to the hospital as she thought that he had sustained heavy injuries.
Nevertheless, she didn’t expect all of the things that she packed weren’t needed at all.
Still, that was good news, after all.
“Get in.” Toby got to the car and opened the car’s door so that Sonia could enter.
After humming in acknowledgment, Sonia bent down and wanted to get into the car.
Right then, the sound of the wheelchair rang out behind them. At this moment, the gentle voice of a woman could be heard. “President Fuller, I’ve finally found you.”
Upon hearing that voice, Sonia immediately had her face darkened while Tom scowled and cursed at Anya mentally.
What the hell? Why is she here? Didn’t I ask her to leave?
A glint of anger appeared in Tom’s gaze when he turned around and saw Anya, who was in her wheelchair.
As expected, it’s her! She actually didn’t leave! How dare she pull such a dirty trick by waiting in the parking lot even though she promised me she would leave?
Tom had seen all sorts of women after working by Toby’s side for a long time, but this was his first time seeing such an annoying one.
Even Tina wasn’t this annoying! Hopefully, President Fuller won’t blame me since I really did make her leave.
At the thought of that, Tom turned toward Toby.
When he noticed Toby was frowning with a stony expression on his face, he got anxious.
As expected, President Fuller is angry. I bet Miss Reed is probably upset as well.
Tom turned toward Sonia tensely to see that Sonia’s face darkened as well. Right then, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Looks like I’m surely getting a lecture after this!
“Who are you?” Toby narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman in front of him. Although he knew who she was, he acted like he didn’t know her before asking emotionlessly.
Nevertheless, Sonia glanced at Toby because she didn’t believe that Toby couldn’t recognize Anya. Tom had told him that the person who caused their accident was a woman in a wheelchair, after all.
Even though Toby might not be able to recognize Anya’s looks, her wheelchair was enough to explain her identity.
Still, if Toby could recognize Anya but acted as if he didn’t know her, it probably means that he’s just trying to humiliate her.
At that thought, Sonia walked toward Toby while her bad mood upon seeing Anya was lifted up.
On the other hand, Anya was taken aback because she didn’t expect Toby to ask her who she was.
Does he not know who I am? How is that even possible?! I won’t believe that he wasn’t informed about me, so is he just trying to humiliate me now?
Anya’s face stiffened when she thought of that before she gripped her armrest tightly in anger.
However, she didn’t let her anger show on her face. She quickly reacted by smiling and acting as if nothing had happened without any hints of awkwardness.
“Hello, President Fuller. My name is Anya Steinfeld, and I’m the person who caused your accident.” Anya looked up at Toby with a guilty look on her face.
Meanwhile, a disdainful look flashed past Sonia’s eyes before she went toward Toby’s side and held his hand while giving Anya a grin. “Are you here to apologize, Miss Steinfeld?”
Anya’s eyes dimmed when her gaze landed on Sonia and Toby’s intertwined hands before she quickly smiled and nodded. “Yes. I’m here to apologize to President Fuller.”
Then, she turned to look at Toby with a guilty look on her face. “President Fuller, I’m honestly sorry for what happened last night. You wouldn’t have injured yourself if it weren’t for me. All of this happened because of me, and I’m really sorry about it!”
Anya bent down to bow at Toby. Currently, she acted as if she wasn’t hoping that he’d forgive her, and she looked really pitiful.
At this moment, men who were into women like Anya would have already helped her up and forgiven her.
Nonetheless, Sonia turned to the man next to her and gave him a warning look as if she was telling them to prepare for the worst if he got soft-hearted.
Upon seeing that, Toby chuckled lightly. “What are you thinking about?”
Then, he reached out and flicked Sonia’s forehead softly while Sonia harrumphed. “I’m not overthinking things. There are many men who are into girls like this, and I’ll surely show you what’s coming for you if you’re into this as well!”
