Chapter 792 President Fuller Is an Incubus
Looking at the woman who was sleeping in his embrace, Toby knew that she must have been exhausted, and he blamed himself as he felt bad for her.
He knew that he did not hold back this night, but this wasn’t exactly his fault either.
What man could hold it in when doing the most intimate thing in the world with the woman they loved the most?
Rubbing his forehead, Toby thought of apologizing to Sonia after she woke up and buying a present for her.
At that thought, he carried Sonia to the bathroom before washing her and himself up. It was only then that he did sleep, with the woman in his embrace.
Yet, Toby did not sleep for long. At around 7 AM, he was already awake. After washing up and putting on his clothes, he then pecked Sonia’s cheek and exited the room silently, leaving Bayside Residence.
The idea that was pushed forth the day before was unanimously voted on by everyone. So naturally, he would have his fair share of work cut out for him today.
The reason he had to leave so early was because he needed to go inspect every factory. Otherwise, Toby would’ve accompanied Sonia until she woke up.
“Morning, President Fuller.” In the parking lot, Tom, who had been waiting beside Toby’s car for quite a while, immediately extinguished the cigarette and greeted him while standing up straight the moment he saw Toby coming.
Toby greeted him with a nod. Then, he ordered Tom, “Tell Daphne that Little Leaf will be arriving late to Paradigm Co. today.”
Upon hearing his words, Tom immediately knew what was up. He nodded after a short laugh. “I understand, President Fuller.”
He’s good, making Miss Reed unable to get up as usual and go to work. Now I see how capable the president is in that area.
Toby glanced sideways at Tom after catching him laughing.
Understanding that he had exposed his somewhat dirty side, Tom immediately stopped laughing and tried to cover it up with a cough. With a straight face, he commented, “Sorry, President Fuller. I’ve a somewhat sore throat today.”
Not in the mood to care about such things, Toby instead opened the door and boarded the car.
While Tom was fastening his seatbelt after hurriedly getting into the driver seat, he heard another order coming from behind him, “When it’s about 9 AM, let the hotel prepare a set of breakfast and send it to her residence, but don’t knock. Let the waiter stand at the door and only give it to Little Leaf when she wakes up. Don’t let them disturb her sleep.”
“Yes, President Fuller.” Tom nodded.
With no further orders, Toby then took out his phone, lowering his head and looking at the screen.
At the same time he put away his phone, Sonia’s phone in her room also buzzed as the screen lit up.
Hearing the buzzing, Sonia, who was still on the bed, frowned and moved her eyes around, looking like she was about to wake up.
But alas, due to her eyelids feeling like metal shutters, she could not open them up after trying for quite some time, so she just gave up and went back to sleep.
It was a phone call that thoroughly woke her up after sleeping for another two to three hours.
“Hello?” Sonia, who still had not opened her eyes, only used her hand to reach in the direction of the bedside table.
With the habit of putting the phone at the bedside table before sleeping, she reached for her phone on the first try. Then, using muscle memory, she unlocked the screen and put the phone to her ear.
At the other side, Daphne only heard a sleepy and hoarse sounding Sonia struggling to get up. After a bit of silence, the former proceeded to speak, “Chairman Reed, it’s me.”
“Ah—Daphne.” Recognizing the woman’s voice, Sonia rubbed her eyes before finally opening them. Lying flat on the bed, she gazed at the lights on the ceiling.
Nodding, Daphne replied, “Yes, it’s me, Chairman Reed. Have you… just woken up?”
Daphne asked this in a careful tone.
In the morning, she had already received a call from Toby’s assistant, Tom, informing her that Sonia would come in very late today, as usual.
Daphne then realized that Sonia and Toby must have done the deed the night before. Otherwise, why would she show up late?
If it was the old Sonia, she would clock in to the company on time everyday but ever since she handed herself to Toby these few days, she did not show her face at Paradigm Co. at all.
Sonia was supposed to come today, but there was still no sight of her even as it approached the afternoon. It turned out that she was still on her bed, asleep.
My word! I did not think that President Fuller would be such an incubus that would suck Chairman Reed dry! What a devilish man!
Not knowing what Daphne was complaining deep down, Sonia only felt her face flush, as she looked toward the other side of the bed when her secretary asked if she was already awake or not.
The space beside her had already been empty for some time, seeing as how it was cold to the touch. It seemed like Toby was already long gone, but she did not know since when.
Angry and embarrassed, Sonia cursed the man deep down for not even waking her when he woke up. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be stuck in this situation, needing her own secretary to ask her if she had woken up or not.
At this point, Sonia was quite certain that Daphne knew the reason why she woke up so late.
This is so embarrassing that I could die!
Covering her face, Sonia replied in a helpless voice, “I’m getting up now.”
Since Daphne already knew that she just woken up, what else could she do except admit it?
Sonia’s dignity had no meaning to it now, so she might as well just admit it.
“Alright,” Daphne murmured with a light chuckle.
Rubbing her temples, Sonia then sat up.
After a whole night’s worth of ‘extreme exercising’, her body, although still sore, was feeling much better than the day before.
The most important thing was, she could feel Toby using the same amount of vigor as before, but she did not feel as uncomfortable as back then.
Obviously, this meant that her body was slowly adapting to this kind of thing.
This conclusion made Sonia’s face flush again.
Even she did not know whether this was considered a good or a bad thing.
But she was absolutely certain that for Toby, it was a good thing.
Coughing awkwardly, Sonia quickly repressed such dirty thoughts and changed the subject, instead asking about her secretary’s intention in calling her. “Right, Daphne, why are you calling me at this time? Did something happen?”
“It’s nothing too important.” Adjusting her glasses, Daphne then put on a serious expression. “Yesterday, you said that a woman would be apologizing to you through the Internet, and that you didn’t want any malicious comments to surface that would make it into a cyberbullying incident. You wanted me to closely monitor the public relations side, right?”
“Yup.” Nodding, Sonia then asked, “And? Did that woman, Anya, apologize?”
“She did.” Daphne nodded. “At 8 AM today, she went live on the Internet after informing the reception of her intentions. She publicly apologized to you, Chairman Reed. Then, she proceeded to cry her heart out and said sorry profusely. It all sounded quite unpleasant.”
“Oh?” Sonia raised her eyebrows. “Did she do anything else?”
If even her apology could disgust Daphne, that meant that there’s more than meets the eye.
“You guessed right, Chairman Reed. Even though she did not do anything out of place, I could not hear any sincerity from her apology. Even when her tone when she was directly apologizing to you was like it was you who wronged her instead of the other way around. And she intentionally cried so tragically, trying to sway the public’s opinion and making it seem like she was forced to do so by the president. That b*tch pisses me off so much!” Daphne said agitatedly.
Although Sonia had a smile on, there was no trace of joy in her gaze. Instead, her gaze looked sharp and cold. “Alright, don’t get so worked up now. She’s not wrong in trying to sway public opinion as I did force her to apologize publicly like this.”
