Chapter 645 More Powerful

She took the initiative to ask him to go pick her up.

Toby’s pupils dilated slightly and he straightened up on his seat, the smile on his face widening.

This was the first time Sonia requested for him to do something on her own accord.

This showed that she had started to rely on him more and had stopped being so courteous with him. At the same time, she gradually accepted the change in their identity and started to treat him like her boyfriend.

“Sure, I’ll drop by this afternoon.” This time, instead of typing the message, he chose to send her a voice message because he found that the happiness and excitement that he was feeling at the moment was indescribable with words.

On the other end, Sonia tapped on the voice message and heard Toby’s deep, mellow voice. Did he purposely speak in a deeper voice? she thought, her ears flushing.

As she touched the tip of her ears, she replayed the voice message, and his pleasant voice that rang out made her blush again.

However, this time, she noticed something different in Toby’s voice—happiness. I only asked him to come and pick me up in the afternoon. Did that make him that happy?

She pouted, but her eyes revealed her smiles. She then texted, ‘Sure. I’ll call you or text you in the afternoon. I’ve got to attend a meeting now.’

After sending the message, she kept her phone away, taking a deep breath to calm her heart that had started to race when she heard his voice. Thereafter, she took her laptop and exited the office.

“Chairman Reed.” Daphne stood outside Sonia’s office with a hand raised. It was obvious that the former was about to knock on the door when the door unexpectedly opened before she managed to do so.

Upon seeing Sonia coming out, Daphne put down her hand. “I was going to come get you.”

“Sorry for the delay.” Sonia smiled apologetically and asked, “Has everyone arrived?”

“Yes, which was why I was here to inform you.”

“Okay, I understand. Let’s go.” Sonia closed the door behind her and headed toward the elevator with Daphne following her from behind.

The two ladies arrived at the meeting room. The moment they stepped into the room, everyone instantly focused on Sonia. Their gazes contained excitement and delight, as well as complexity and anxiousness.

The former belonged to those that sided with her, while the latter belonged to those that sided with Asher.

Sonia knew very well why they looked at her with such gazes. It was because of the news that had been reported that morning.

Those that sided with her were glad that she had gotten back together with Toby, since this suggested that Paradigm Co. would be able to collaborate with the Fuller Group and nothing would go wrong in the future. At the same time, the shareholders’ profits would be guaranteed.

On the contrary, those who sided with Asher were anxious for the same reason—it being she was now with Toby again.

They were aware that she had been dissatisfied with them. If it wasn’t because of the fact that she would have a hard time finding people to replace their positions, she would have kicked all of them out of Paradigm Co.. As such, she had no choice but to bear with them although they had supported Asher and had given her many troubles.

Nonetheless, at present, all of that wouldn’t matter if Sonia was really in a relationship with Toby.

After all, the Fuller Group was full of talents. They could easily allocate some of them over to replace them. Therefore, it would only be natural for this group of people to feel worried and apprehensive.

Even Asher couldn’t afford to be arrogant at that moment; the way he peered at Sonia was rather complicated, totally unlike how he had used to view her as an eyesore.

He had been giving her a hard time by making use of his seniority in Paradigm Co., but because of Toby, he dared not do the same right now.

As a matter of fact, when Sonia took away the management rights from Asher after being promoted to become the chairperson, the situation had proven that he was no match to her. He dared not oppose her openly, so all he had planned was to find an opportunity to kick her out of the position using some underhanded means.

Unexpectedly, Sonia actually got back together with Toby before such an opportunity arrived. Now that this had happened, how could Asher deal with her? He was afraid that Toby would get rid of him before he actually took any action, as he was well-aware of the fact that Toby was an incredibly protective man.

“My apologies for arriving late and having you all wait for me.” A simple glance at everyone in the meeting room was enough to allow Sonia to gauge their thoughts. She smiled, then pulled her chair back to take a seat.
