Watching a Movie
“Go. Let’s not stay here any longer. We should hurry up and go back to write the news so that we can
be the first to send this out. Then, we don’t need to worry about finding another hot topic this month.”
The influence of the Fuller Group was enormous. As the president of the company, Toby himself was a
big shot that drew everyone’s attention, so every news about him would end up trending on the
Internet.
After the two reporters carefully hid their cameras away, they stealthily ran toward a dilapidated van on
the side of the road before driving away.
Without knowing that they were photographed, Sonia and Toby left the city center and came to the
outskirts of the city.
Looking at the scene outside the car window, Sonia asked with her eyes twitching, “Toby, are we going
to a cinema in Berthull?”
He replied, “Yes.”
“Why?” She turned toward him. “There are so many cinemas in the city center. Why don’t we watch the
movie there? Why do we have to go all the way outside the city?”
He lowered his eyelids slightly to cover the flickering light in his eyes as he answered her calmly, “Tom
said that the cinema in Berthull is left over from the last century, so the architecture still maintains the
style of the past. Also, the movie that we are watching today is a patriotic film, so the atmosphere in
this cinema should be good.”
Tom, who was currently driving, couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he heard Toby’s explanation.
Nonsense! I didn’t say any of those words. It was him who decided where to watch the movie. When I
was buying the tickets, I also wondered why President Fuller chose such a remote cinema in Berthull.
At that time, he only gave me a simple answer, which is that it will take a long time for them to get back
home. But in the end… he’s pushing all the blame on me and as a pitiful subordinate, I have no choice
but to take that blame!
Tom grumbled deep down but outwardly, he tugged at his tie and maintained a smile. “That’s right, Miss
Reed. We should pay attention to every aspect when watching a movie. Not only must the plot be
exciting, the environment is another important aspect too. If the environment matches the subject of the
movie, the audience will be more immersed in the plot and moved by it.
Listening to his explanation, Sonia nodded. “That’s quite reasonable.”
“Thank you for your praise, Miss Reed.” Tom smiled and pushed his glasses before quickly glancing at
Toby through the rearview mirror.
At the same time, Toby looked at him and their gazes met.
Quickly, Tom silently asked him with a flattering gaze, President Fuller, how did I do?
Upon noticing that, Toby lifted his chin elegantly. Not bad.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Tom retracted his gaze and continued driving the car.
Then, Sonia suddenly asked again, “By the way, what’s the name of the movie?”
Lately, history had become a popular topic in the entertainment industry, so most of the films and TV
shows shot recently were related to patriotism or the war times.
This month alone, Sonia heard that there were three patriotic movies being released, so she didn’t
know which one Toby was bringing her to watch.
Therefore, Toby took out two movie tickets from his suit pocket and handed them to her. “The film’s
name is on it.”
“Let me see.” She took the tickets and lowered her head. Then, she slowly uttered the name shown,
“‘The International Spy’. So this is what we are going to watch.”
“You’ve seen it before?” Toby’s eyes were full of surprise.
She shook her head and replied, “Nope, but I heard that this movie is really popular. Many employees
in Paradigm Co. chatted about this movie. I heard that the plot is nice and the romance between the
hero and heroine is really moving. That is why I’m a bit interested in it. However, I was too busy lately,
so I didn’t have the time to check it out. Thanks to you, I can now see how good this movie really is.”
With that, she returned the tickets to him and smiled.
Toby felt a weight lifted from his heart slightly.
Thank god she hasn’t watched the movie yet! If I brought her here to watch a movie that she saw
before, there won’t be any surprises.
Seated in the driver’s seat, Tom also breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s great that Miss Reed hasn’t seen the movie before. If she saw it before, President Fuller is going to
torture me all over again by asking me to look into which movie is better and telling me to buy
everything once more.
“Maybe we should leave them to you.” Toby shoved the tickets right back into Sonia’s hands. “You can
keep them.”
She looked at the tickets and her bag before nodding her head. “Alright. I’ll keep them. When we arrive
at the cinema later, I’ll give you yours.”
“Okay.” He nodded.
Soon, they arrived at the cinema.
After Tom parked the car, Toby was the first to exit the car so that he could reach out to the woman
sitting inside.
Sonia placed her hand on his and allowed him to help her out.
Then, Tom poked his head out of the driver’s seat. “President Fuller, Miss Reed, I’ll go find a place to
park the car. You can contact me after the movie so that I can drive over to pick up you two.”
“Go on,” Toby replied impatiently while pursing his lips.
Listening to him, Tom couldn’t help but roll his eyes deep down.
Gosh, looks like I’m being a hindrance again, but I’ve only said a few words this time. How long is that
going to distract them? Can’t he stand me for another few seconds? I’ll just leave then!
While pursing his lips, Tom withdrew his head and drove away.
Now that the hindrance was gone, Toby regained his peaceful look that he had when he first got out of
the car. The speed of how he changed his expression had left Sonia speechless.
When she got out of the car just now, he wanted to say something to her but before he could utter the
words, Tom had interrupted him, which was why Toby was so annoyed.
Now that Tom was gone, he looked much happier as he regained his peaceful expression. In all
honesty, such a quick change in expressions had left her surprised.
Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but laugh.
I didn’t know that he has two faces and for some reason, it makes him look a bit adorable.
Meanwhile, Toby didn’t know why Sonia suddenly laughed, so he asked, “What are you laughing at?”
She waved her hands. “It’s nothing. Let’s go in. It’s almost time.”
“Okay.” He nodded and entered the cinema while holding her hand.
This cinema had nearly a hundred years of architectural history, but most of the facilities still
maintained the style of the last century. The moment they stepped into the place, they felt as though
they had traveled back in time.
Tom was right. It is indeed suitable to watch a patriotic movie here.
When they came to the ticket gate, Toby suddenly tugged Sonia, who was about to take out the tickets
and check in, to a stop.
She lifted her eyes and looked at him. “What is it?”
He pointed at the vending area in front. “Do you want to eat something?”
He saw a lot of people lined up there buying popcorn and drinks.
The women look so happy when the men buy some popcorn for them. Some of them are even giving
the men a kiss on the cheek. If I also buy some popcorn, will Sonia happily give me a kiss?
Just as Toby thought about how high the possibility was, Sonia suddenly shook her head and said,
“There’s no need for that. If the plot is good enough for me to get fully invested, I will forget that I have
something to eat, so I practically won’t eat anything during the whole movie. It’ll just be a waste. Let’s
go.”
“I want to buy it.” He stood there motionless while gesturing at the other girls. “If they all are having
popcorn, I want you to have it too. Please wait for me.”
After that, he let go of her hand and walked toward the vending area.
Looking at his back, she smiled gently while her red lips twitched.
He is being obscene all of a sudden again, but I must say that I’m quite moved by his words because
this shows how important I am to him that he doesn’t want me to lose to other girls.
