Chapter 496 Toby’s Getting Engaged

When the female assistant felt Sonia holding onto her, she thought she was about to be brought in for a lecture. Fear had just crept into her when she heard Sonia’s question. “What? Weren’t you about to reprimand me?” She was stunned.

The corner of Sonia’s lips twitched. “If I were to scold anyone, it would be your leader. What use is it for me to scold any of you assistants?”

The assistant let out a sigh of relief before she smiled. “You’re such a nice person, President Reed.”

“Enough with the nonsense. Tell me—what were you guys talking about earlier?” Sonia repeated her question.

“Oh, yes. We were talking about how President Fuller from the Fuller group might be getting engaged again,” the assistant replied.

All Sonia could think of was how Toby might be getting engaged again.

With a dazed look on her face, Sonia turned around and walked to her own office.

Why does she look as if her soul has just left her body?” The assistant couldn’t make sense of the situation, so she simply shrugged before returning to her desk.

Once Sonia got into her office and stepped behind her desk, she reached her hands out and felt for her chair before sinking into her seat. Once she sat down, she remained paralyzed in her seat for a long while, almost as if she had completely lost her mind. Her gaze was empty as she stared at her computer. There was a tightness in her chest that wouldn’t seem to leave, and her face was burning so much that it stung her skin.

Just the night before, Sonia had assumed that Toby wouldn’t get engaged, yet reality slapped her in the face the very next morning. He’s still going to get engaged! And he’s getting engaged to…
