Nobody Else

Sonia was silent for a while. “Yeah. Maybe I was too hung up on that. I was drowning in their comments for years. It has stopped now, but it left a mark. I just couldn’t brush it off.”

“And now you can.” Toby patted her head.

“Yeah, now I can. You talked me through it. If I still can’t brush it off, I might kill off our relationship eventually.”

“Don’t say that.” He frowned in displeasure and put his finger against her lips.

She took his hand away in amusement. “Lighten up. It’s just a joke. Don’t be so uptight about it. I didn’t say anything that bad.”

“But you mentioned ‘killing our relationship’. That’s bad enough,” he said solemnly. “It’s not a good word. I want us to be safe and sound.” The last time she fell down a cliff left a traumatic impression on him. He had thought he lost her. From then on, he refused to let her risk her life, or he might do something really drastic just to save her.

“Alright, alright. I’ll stop.” Sonia noticed how much he was frowning. She knew he cared a lot about this, and she wouldn’t challenge him. Going with the flow was the best thing to do now.

He slowly stopped frowning after she stopped bringing that up. “It’s great that you’re brushing their opinions off. It’s the only way we can live our lives without any burden. We don’t need that negativity in our lives. It’s a sad life to live according to someone else’s wishes. The only people who’ll be happy about it are them, and not us.” He held her tightly, patting her head and kissing it.

She leaned against his chest. Sonia said nothing, but she was listening to him.

Toby eventually stopped, then he looked at her. “If you don’t care about the public’s opinion anymore, you won’t feel too much pressure asking for my help now, will you?

I know you still won’t do that, since you have your reason to settle this yourself, but you know you don’t have the power to settle your problem yourself, don’t you?”

Sonia looked at him again, and she was reminded of what Brian and Charles told her in the hotel. She shook her head. “I… Yeah, I know.” She didn’t know much about the business world or how to survive in it. Sonia was just a newbie, and she had no organization to call her own, nor did she have any connections.

They were important elements to survival in business, but she had none of it. There was no way she could solve anything on her own. She didn’t want to admit it, but that was the truth. She was in a bad condition. All she had was a company. She might be the boss of it, but that alone wasn’t enough to take her into the center of the business world. She couldn’t even deal with the D-listers of the business scene either.

Toby cocked his eyebrow. He was surprised that she would admit her powerlessness so easily.

Sonia caught that, and she pouted unhappily. “What? Surprised I’d say that?”

“So how did he know about the case about the parts?”

“Did you forget? Charles is a director-in-name at Paradigm Co., and he was the one who hooked Paradigm Co. up with Dwells. My company’s guys would tell Charles that someone took the deal from us, and that’s how he found out,” Sonia explained. Toby was getting angry, and she had to defuse him.

Oh, that’s one question answered. I see. He had no idea this happened. “So you didn’t ask for his help?” he asked, pursing his lips.

She nodded. “Of course. He came to Paradigm Co. after he found out about it. He asked me if I could handle this. I couldn’t, so he gave me a suggestion.”

“What kind of suggestion?” Toby squinted.

She rubbed her head against his chest. “He suggested that I use collateral to get a loan from the bank and throw money at the problem. I accepted his suggestion and used the Reed Residence’s deed as collateral. I called Brian, the president of Bank of Caruna’s Seafield branch.”

“So you went to see Brian after you had lunch with Charles?” He looked at her.

“Yes.” She nodded. “And he approved the loan. I got it half an hour ago. I was about to give it all to Daphne and have her handle everything about the missing parts, but you got the parts back for me before the loan was approved. So I guess this is extra money.” She smiled. Sonia looked like she was happy to get the money, as if it was a windfall.
