Chapter 66


Sonia had never expected things to go so smoothly with the government. It only took an hour for a contract to be signed. As thanks to her for a few years of free land use rights, they promised to help her build her factory and have a machinery plant set up for


her.


By the time she exited the department,


the sky was already dark. As if on cue,


her stomach grumbled loudly. Hearing


it, Charles threw an arm around her


shoulders. “How about we have steak


for dinner, baby?”


“Sure.” She nodded in agreement.


“Let’s go!” Still with his arm around her,


he lengthened his stride in the


direction of their car.


Half an hour later, they arrived at one of Seafield’s most famous restaurants. The moment they walked inside, Sonia heard a familiar voice behind her.


“Miss Reed, Mr. Lane, we meet again.”


Instantly, Sonia’s smile faded. Much less politely, Charles rolled his eyes. “Why is it you both again?”


It was none other than Tina and Toby.


With a gentle smile, Tina asked, “You don’t wish to see us, Mr. Lane?”


* “You don’t need to ask to know that,”


he retorted, spreading his arms.


Nonetheless, her smile stayed on her


face. She didn’t seem angry. On the other hand, Toby was silent. His gaze was fixed on the bandage on Sonia’s head with an unreadable look in his


eyes.


Feeling his stare, Sonia gave him a curious glance and quirked her lips. “Aren’t you afraid your fiancee will get


jealous of you staring at me like that,


President Fuller?”


At her question, the smile on Tina’s face finally slipped. While Tina knew Sonia was purposely trying to provoke her and Toby, she had no way of


denying that Sonia was telling the truth and that Toby had, indeed, been staring


at her. Even though jealousy flashed


across Tina’s eyes and brewed even more potently in her heart, she made an effort to bring a smile back to her


face.


“What are you saying, Miss Reed? How could I possibly be jealous? You’re standing in front of me and Toby, so it’s


not so strange that Toby is looking at


you. Not to mention, he’s seen plenty of


female employees at Fuller Group every day. If I got jealous of every one of them, I’d be very busy. Wouldn’t you say, Toby?” She wrapped her hands around Toby’s arm.


Feeling the force of her grip, Toby frowned slightly but didn’t pull his arm


away.


“That’s very magnanimous of you, Miss Gray.” Sonia pretended not to see Tina’s forced smile.


After yawning, Charles said, “Baby, why


are you still talking to them? I thought you were hungry. Let’s go get ourselves


a table.”


“Of course.” She nodded.


With that, Charles put his arms around


her waist and followed the waiter.


As Toby watched them walk away


intimately, he lowered his eyes and pursed his lips into a straight line. All of a sudden, he had an urge to rush up and separate them. Nonetheless, he held back. Keeping his head lowered to hide the expression in his eyes, he said


to Tina, “Let’s go.”


“Alright,” she answered cheerfully.


On the way to their private room, Charles couldn’t resist grumbling, “Do you think Tina gets tired of faking a smile when she’s clearly jealous of you but pretending she isn’t?”


“Do you get tired of eating and sleeping?” Sonia asked without


answering


Perplexed, he shook his head. With a smile, she pointed out, “Well, there you


have it. Some people consider


pretending as a vital part of their


survival– just like eating or sleeping.


So, why would she feel tired?”


“That’s true.” He curled his lips. After a moment of thought, he grinned playfully. “Baby, what’d you say if we tore away her fake mask; wouldn’t


she–”


“That’s enough.” She gave him an


elbow. “She hasn’t done anything to us


at the moment, so we’re not going to


do anything to her.” Of course, if Tina


made the first move, it would be a


different matter altogether.


Just then, they reached their private room. The couple ordered the


restaurant’s famous steaks. Halfway


through the meal, Sonia wiped the corners of her lips and stood up. “I’m


going to the restroom.”


“Do you need me to accompany you?”


he teased playfully, waggling his


eyebrows.


She gave him a faint smile. “What do


you think?”


Seeing the dangerous glint in her smile, he shuddered and chuckled, “Heh, forget it. Come back soon.”


Humming her acknowledgment, she


picked up her purse and left. After using the toilet, she tidied her clothes and headed to the sinks to touch up


her makeup.


All of a sudden, the stall behind her


opened and Tina stepped out. When


she saw Sonia, her first reaction was to


pause. Following that, she walked up to the sinks with a smile and pulled some makeup powder out of her bag


to apply to her cheeks.


“What a coincidence, Miss Reed,” she


greeted as she fixed her makeup.


Currently, Sonia was reapplying her


lipstick and only answered mildly, “It is indeed, to run into each other even in


Toby‘s taste certainly is unique, she thought to herself. I can‘t believe he


could like such a phony


Of course, given that she was once in love with him, her own taste wasn’t


necessarily good. Fortunately, she was


correcting course now.


Twisting the cap back onto her tube of lipstick, she then tossed it back into her purse. “Of course not. I’ve already been handsomely compensated. How


would ljustify continuing to blame


you? However, I am curious why you


asked that question. Are you saying I’m


petty?”


“No, no!” Tina waved her hands. “It’s


just that your attitude is so cold that I


assumed you must still blame me.”


Turning her head, Sonia regarded Tina


with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.


“Well, I’ve always treated my friends


and my enemies very differently. If !


liked you, I’d be very warm toward you.


Naturally, if I didn‘t like you, I’d be cold toward you. What I don’t understand is why, Miss Gray, when you already know


that I don’t like you, you keep offering yourself up as a punching bag?”


At the question, Tina heard someone laughing from within one of the stalls, and she reddened with anger and


indignation


the restroom.”


Closing the lid of her powder case, Tina looked up at the bandage on Sonia’s head. “Are your injuries any


better?”


Sonia pursed her lips without even bothering to look at Tina. “Far from it, thanks to you.”


“Do you still blame me?” The rims of Tina’s eyes abruptly grew red.


Nonetheless, Sonia only found that


amusing. After all, she hadn’t done


anything to Tina. Why was Tina crying


like she had been bullied?


Nonetheless, Sonia merely looked away from her. “So, I hope you’ll stay far away from me when you see me in the future, Miss Gray. Stop making things hard for yourself. Haven’t you


realized that you’ve never been able to


beat me whether in speech or in


deeds?” With that, she zipped up her


purse and walked past Tina out of the


restroom


Left alone in the restroom, Tina bit her


lower lip and glared with a hawk-like gaze in the direction of the door. Internally, she sneered. Yes, right now, she was constantly losing. But the


future was another matter.


“At that thought, she picked up her


purse and exited the bathroom. In the


corridor on the way back to her private room with Toby, an ordinary-looking waiter walked toward her. Right as he reached her, he suddenly pulled out a handkerchief and covered her nose


and her mouth with it.


Shocked, she let out a muffled cry and stared at him with wide, terrified eyes, but passed out before she could


struggle.


Meanwhile, after finishing their meal, Charles and Sonia were preparing to pay the bill and leave. Right as they stood up from their seats, someone


knocked on their door.


When Charles walked over to open the


door, he saw Toby standing outside. At


this moment, Toby looked tense and


was frowning tightly. There was an almost imperceptible urgency in his


eyes.


Since she knew him so well, Sonia instantly started to wonder if


something was wrong.


However, Charles blocked his way and


asked rudely, “Why are you here?”


Ignoring Charles, Toby looked straight toward Sonia. “Is Tina here?”
