Chapter 1081 Charles Likes Daphne

“Yes.” Sonia kept her phone in her bag before she casually leaned against the seat and stretched. Then, as if she were a furry cat, she curled up in the seat and responded softly, “But Charles and Daphne were university mates who later worked together for a few years.

Throughout that time, they remained purely subordinates. Daphne has never revealed her feelings for Charles, and all this while, he did not dislike her as well. It was after that incident that their relationship changed dramatically, and his attitude toward her deteriorated.”

“Perhaps Charles doesn’t truly dislike your secretary. He is simply refusing to face his feelings for Daphne. As a result, he subconsciously changed his attitude toward her, as if doing so would allow his feelings to remain hidden and undiscovered by others,” Toby said, his gaze fixed on the road ahead of him. Sonia was stunned by his words. “What do you mean?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” He came to a complete stop in front of a red light, giving him enough time to turn around and look at her. “Charles has nothing against your secretary. In fact, the opposite was true. He has feelings for her, but he is unaware of them.

He subconsciously wants to care for her without realizing that this is his love for a woman. Instead, he assumed there was something wrong with him that was caused by Daphne. That’s why his attitude toward her changed.”

Toby’s words hit Sonia like a bomb, leaving her stunned for a few moments before she regained her senses and her voice. “W-What?! Charles has feelings for Daphne, but he is unaware of it?”

Toby gave a nod. “That’s correct.” He then saw the green light was on and resumed his journey.

Sonia, on the other hand, was gripping her seatbelt tightly, her mouth wide open in shock. Her dazed expression indicated that she was still reeling from what Toby said. “How could this be possible?”

Wasn’t she the one Charles adored?

It wasn’t that she desired his love. Instead, Charles was the one who told her that he had loved her since he was a child, and that his feelings had not changed over the years.

Furthermore, he was head over heels with her previously.

And now, Toby said that Daphne, not Sonia, was the one Charles truly loved!

Sonia almost didn’t believe it.

“Why isn’t it possible?” Toby looked dashing as he steered the wheel with only one hand. “How else would you explain Charles’s concern for your secretary?”

That almost choked Sonia.

True. Charles seems to be overly concerned about Daphne. She could still recall Charles’ overreaction to Daphne earlier in the day at the office.

“He is concerned about her; you’re right on that. But does that necessarily imply he has feelings for her, no?” Sonia was skeptical.

While she spoke, Toby honked at the slow driver in front of him. “Indeed. But the thing is, he has said that he dislikes her. Would he be so concerned about her if he truly dislikes her? Will you?”

Then, he went on, “He’d undoubtedly believe Daphne was the one who persuaded you to tell him that they should get together. All of his annoyance and frustration will be directed and vented toward her as a result.”

“Could things really get that serious?” Sonia went pale as she heard that.

“Of course it will.” Toby nodded assertively. “As I’ve said, his ignorance of his feelings is due to his refusal to admit that he now loves someone else. If you point it out to him, instead of being surprised, he will get angry instead, thinking that you and your secretary are conspiring to deceive him. While he may not do anything to you, I can’t say for sure that he won’t do anything to Daphne.”

“What should I do, then?” Sonia was anxious. “Do I just pretend to be ignorant and leave them alone?”

“Yes. Just don’t get involved,” Toby agreed. “Directly pointing it out to him will only make matters worse. Therefore, it will be better for you to pretend to be unaware and wait for Charles to realize it himself.

In this way, he would be more willing to accept his true feelings, because time may have passed before he realizes it, and they may have been through a lot of things together during that time, resulting in his attitude toward her may have changed by then. It would be easier for him to accept that he has feelings for her at that point.”

Sonia did not respond to Toby’s words. She lowered her head, pondering whether what he said was plausible. After much thought, she concluded that Toby’s consideration was valid and even thoughtful in all aspects.

“Perhaps you’re right.” She felt relieved and nodded. “Fine. I’ll just pretend I don’t know anything.” “Good move,” Toby said, raising his chin.

Sonia, on the other hand, squinted and looked at him with suspicion. “When did you become an expert in relationships? Even I had no idea Charles had feelings for Daphne, but you did! You even considered the possible outcomes if I mentioned it to Charles. This is not at all like you! Pray tell, what causes you to act this way?”
