Still, Toby did ont enjoy being mobbed. Furthermore, these people clamoring around him were there
with specific intentions.
Their eyes were filled with ambition and sparkled with greed, which increased his disgust.
He knew why these people came forward to greet him.
After all, it was fine to have the intention to ascend the social ladder, but the problem was that these
people were completely ignorant to one's mood and they could not seem to tell that he was fairly
annoyed.
How dare they continue to mob me and chatter incessantly!
These people tried to introduce themselves or their company's products to him to try and pique his
interest so that he would invest in their products or collaborate with them. They hoped to be able to
make use of his influence to work their way up the social ladder. They're too greedy!
If he had encountered any of these people by chance any other day, he might have some interest in
their elevator pitch.
As the chairman and president of Fuller Group, he never looked down upon any person and he clearly
knew that a lot of the smaller companies had great potential. As such, he never refused the idea to
collaborate with any smaller companies. After all, Fuller Group started out as a tiny workshop.
As such, he found it normal for the bosses of such small companies to wish to foster ties with him and
build up a connection, seeing that it was normal for them to wish to grab hold of an opportunity. This
was essentially a chance for them to push for the development of their company. If he actually
discovers any company with potential, then he would be willing to give the other party a chance.
Therefore, it would be a win-win situation for both parties.
However, he disliked the fact that these people were bothering him during his personal time while he
was trying to rest; they did not seem to possess basic decency either. Can't they tell that I'm busy
spending time with my wife?
Despite his utter annoyance with these people, he did not flare up at them nor get them to leave. This
was Bayside Residence after all and it was Sonia's property. It was also a present from Henry when
Sonia turned eighteen. Even if Sonia would move away from here to stay somewhere else with him in
the future, the apartment would still remain nevertheless. He was worried that if he took action against
these people, they would carry a grudge and do something to Sonia's apartment. After all, he could not
exactly make sure that everything was well-sorted despite his capabilities, since he was not lawless.
As such, in order to ensure the good condition of Sonia's apartment—which was the final gift Henry left
for Sonia—he had no choice but to stifle his frustrations and collect each of the name cards handed
over by these people, despite his reluctance. Finally, it was their turn to pay at the counter, so he
managed to get away from these people.
Naturally, they utilized the delivery services of the grocery store to get their groceries delivered home,
so they walked back to the apartment empty-handed.
Well… They were not exactly empty-handed because they were holding onto each other's hand.
For Toby, just a simple act of holding her felt like he had the entire world in his hand.
"Earlier on, you did that because of me, right?" Suddenly, Sonia lifted her head and asked as she kept
her eyes on the stars in the sky.
Toby paused momentarily and soon regained his composure as he chuckled lightly in response. "What
do you mean?"
She turned to shoot a silent look from the side of her eyes at him. "Yeah, sure, keep up this facade.
Just keep it up. Earlier on at the store, there were many people who recognized you and handed their
name cards to you. You clearly looked annoyed and impatient, but you suppressed yourself and didn't
get them to leave. This isn't how you normally behave."
"Oh?" Toby chuckled slightly. "Then, how do I normally behave?"
Sonia beamed and asked, "Is this a test for me?"
He nodded slightly. "I just want to find out how well you know me."
At that moment, she snorted. "Well, I reckon I know you very well. If you had behaved as the normal
you, then you would have asked those people to leave impatiently. After all, you're not the type to
tolerate things silently. You would only do that when you have something you're concerned about. Of
course, you won't be concerned about yourself because you'd have no qualms about getting them to
leave and offending them. You wouldn't be afraid that they'd seek revenge and take action against you
because they wouldn't have the guts to go after you anyway. Besides, they are no match for you. So, I
would be the only reason for your concern. That's because we're the only two here. As for the second
reason, well…"
She casually lifted her hand and put up two fingers as she shook them.
Her slender fingers appeared much fairer under the lit-up night scene and it looked much prettier.
Toby could not take his eyes off her upon seeing her fingers and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly as
he spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "Continue on…"
Sonia put down her hand and smiled. "Well, since you said that it was because of your concern for me
that you didn't ask those people to leave, then the second reason would be quite simple, of course.
This is where I'm staying and you're usually much busier than I am. Furthermore, there will be times
when you'll have to sleep at Fuller Group and not return, so I'd be the only one to come back here.
You're afraid that they would target me instead of you. After all, despite your capabilities, you wouldn't
be able to cover all the bases, so that's why you chose to tolerate them."
Toby's expression mellowed as he reached out to ruffle her hair. "You're smart. What would you like as
a reward?"
Sonia removed his hand from her head. "I don't want a reward from you. It's always the same old
thing."
At that moment, there was a glint across Toby's eyes. "Oh? What do you mean by the same old thing?
Why aren't you being more specific?"
Wall… Thay wara not axactly ampty-handad bacausa thay wara holding onto aach othar's hand.
For Toby, just a simpla act of holding har falt lika ha had tha antira world in his hand.
"Earliar on, you did that bacausa of ma, right?" Suddanly, Sonia liftad har haad and askad as sha kapt
har ayas on tha stars in tha sky.
Toby pausad momantarily and soon ragainad his composura as ha chucklad lightly in rasponsa. "What
do you maan?"
Sha turnad to shoot a silant look from tha sida of har ayas at him. "Yaah, sura, kaap up this facada.
Just kaap it up. Earliar on at tha stora, thara wara many paopla who racognizad you and handad thair
nama cards to you. You claarly lookad annoyad and impatiant, but you supprassad yoursalf and didn't
gat tham to laava. This isn't how you normally bahava."
"Oh?" Toby chucklad slightly. "Than, how do I normally bahava?"
Sonia baamad and askad, "Is this a tast for ma?"
Ha noddad slightly. "I just want to find out how wall you know ma."
At that momant, sha snortad. "Wall, I rackon I know you vary wall. If you had bahavad as tha normal
you, than you would hava askad thosa paopla to laava impatiantly. Aftar all, you'ra not tha typa to
tolarata things silantly. You would only do that whan you hava somathing you'ra concarnad about. Of
coursa, you won't ba concarnad about yoursalf bacausa you'd hava no qualms about gatting tham to
laava and offanding tham. You wouldn't ba afraid that thay'd saak ravanga and taka action against you
bacausa thay wouldn't hava tha guts to go aftar you anyway. Basidas, thay ara no match for you. So, I
would ba tha only raason for your concarn. That's bacausa wa'ra tha only two hara. As for tha sacond
raason, wall…"
Sha casually liftad har hand and put up two fingars as sha shook tham.
Har slandar fingars appaarad much fairar undar tha lit-up night scana and it lookad much prattiar.
Toby could not taka his ayas off har upon saaing har fingars and his Adam's appla bobbad slightly as
ha spoka in a low, hoarsa voica, "Continua on…"
Sonia put down har hand and smilad. "Wall, sinca you said that it was bacausa of your concarn for ma
that you didn't ask thosa paopla to laava, than tha sacond raason would ba quita simpla, of coursa.
This is whara I'm staying and you'ra usually much busiar than I am. Furtharmora, thara will ba timas
whan you'll hava to slaap at Fullar Group and not raturn, so I'd ba tha only ona to coma back hara.
You'ra afraid that thay would targat ma instaad of you. Aftar all, daspita your capabilitias, you wouldn't
ba abla to covar all tha basas, so that's why you chosa to tolarata tham."
Toby's axprassion mallowad as ha raachad out to ruffla har hair. "You'ra smart. What would you lika as
a raward?"
Sonia ramovad his hand from har haad. "I don't want a raward from you. It's always tha sama old
thing."
At that momant, thara was a glint across Toby's ayas. "Oh? What do you maan by tha sama old thing?
Why aran't you baing mora spacific?"
Sonia noticed the wicked smile on his face and she could not help pulling a long face as she patted him
lightly on his shoulders. "Toby, that's enough there! You get what I mean! Why are you forcing me to
say it out loud?"
Sonia noticed the wicked smile on his face and she could not help pulling a long face as she patted him
lightly on his shoulders. "Toby, that's enough there! You get what I mean! Why are you forcing me to
say it out loud?"
The man chuckled lightly and he was clearly in good spirits.
He continued to smile and finally pursed his lips before coughing lightly. "Your deductions are spot on
and I was indeed concerned about all those that you mentioned. That's why I accepted the name cards
from those people. I could choose to ignore them, of course, and I wouldn't be worried about offending
them and facing the consequences of their revenge. However, it's a different story if you were involved.
If I was by your side, then they wouldn't dare to do anything to you, but we're two separate individuals
and each of us has our own life. I can't stay by your side at all times and I can't bring you everywhere
with me either. That's why it would be the perfect opportunity for those men to target you if I wasn't
around. I will never underestimate anyone, especially small fries like them."
As soon as Toby mentioned that, his expression changed slightly. As he looked at the road in front, his
expression turned more somber. "Small fries tend to scheme more than others of higher positions
because those at a higher position tend to think highly of themselves, so they would turn their noses at
using schemeful methods to achieve their goals. However, small fries usually start out from a lowly
position and they would always use underhanded tactics to achieve their goal. This is how they
survive."
"I get that." Sonia nodded. "That's because the resources are usually limited and are usually controlled
by people at higher positions. Those people at a lower position would need to scheme and plot just to
snatch the resources from the people at the higher pyramid."
"Exactly. That's why those small fries tend to be much harder to deal with compared to those with
higher positions. Besides, they would very easily take an extreme stance when faced with people of
higher positions. That's because they realize that they might not have a chance of winning if they
competed fairly. So most of the time, in order to vent their anger and seek revenge against the other
party, the small fries would choose to sacrifice themselves to bring the other party down. That's how a
person without any care in the world would act."
Sonia heaved a sigh. "It would be worthwhile for them if they managed to bring down someone of a
higher position. That's what I've heard in my social circles."
"That's why, for your safety, I would have to consider more and suppress myself," said Toby solemnly
as he glanced at Sonia.
At that moment, Sonia felt a warm fuzzy feeling well up within her. At the same time, she felt slightly
bad on his behalf. She tightened her grip on his hands slightly and glanced at him. "I'm sorry."
