Chapter 749 Jessica Wants to See You

Deep down, Tom was aware of Toby’s insecurities even after Toby rekindled the old flames with Sonia, as she still appeared to reject him somehow. Therefore, he believed Toby should probably feel more uplifted and confident now that he had managed to win Sonia over completely.

As Tom had anticipated, Toby curled his lips upward upon hearing his congratulations. “Alright, that’s enough. What’s there to congratulate me for? After all, what we did was nothing uncommon,” Toby said as he barely hid his complacency.

Tom rolled his eyes upward in a speechless manner but still responded with a smiling face. “Of course, President Fuller.”

“By the way, why did you call up?” Toby asked and continued to say, “I told you I won’t be in the office today, so don’t bother looking for me for anything because I’ll only be back to look into them tomorrow.”

“I know, but I must tell you this because it’s not about our company’s affair but Jessica.” Tom sounded serious.

As soon as Toby heard Jessica’s name, he sat up straight and showed a keen interest. “Really? Jessica?”

“Yeah.” Tom nodded. “I got a call from the police station this morning and was told that Jessica would like to see you.”

“What?” Toby knitted his eyebrows. “She wants to see me?”

“Yeah.”

 

“Are you sure Little Leaf is not the one she wants to see?” Toby had no idea why Jessica wanted to see him because there was nothing personal between him and her. Instead, he reckoned Sonia should be the one she wanted to see before going to jail.

“I’m pretty sure it’s not Miss Reed she wants to see because that was not what the officer said. In fact, I was surprised after confirming with the caller because you’re indeed the one Jessica wants to see, not Sonia,” Tom replied.

 

Toby pursed his lips. “Alright, I heard you. By the way, did Jessica mention why she wanted to see me?”

“Yeah, she did.” Tom nodded. “The police said Jessica wants to see you for something about Miss Reed, so I called to inform you about the matter.” Tom knew Toby would be interested in learning anything about Sonia, or he would have turned Jessica down on his behalf in the first place.

After all, Jessica had nothing to do with Toby at all, and Tom wouldn’t have mentioned her request to his boss. However, the situation became different when Sonia was involved.

“About Sonia?” Toby squinted warily. “Did she say what it was about?”

“No, she didn’t, and the police weren’t sure about it either. After all, Jessica’s political rights were not stripped of her, and she has the right to maintain silence.” Tom helplessly asked, “So, would you like to meet her, President Fuller?”

Toby grunted in a ponderous manner as he jutted his chin. “Tell the police I’ll be there tomorrow. I want to hear what that lady has to say.”

“Alright.” Tom nodded and continued to say, “In that case, I’ll hang up the call and leave you and Miss Reed to it, President Fuller. See you!” As soon as he finished his words, he immediately hung up the call, unlike his unusual response to end the call only after Toby did that.

Thinking he was doing Toby a favor by leaving him alone with Sonia, he doubted his boss would be angry with him. After all, he was aware that Toby would be blinded by his affection for Sonia as long as he was distracted by anything related to her. Therefore, he wasn’t worried about angering him at all, and as it turned out, he was right about his intuition.
