Toby gave it some thought, apparently interested in the idea.
Kurtis added, “And also, since you’re affected by her, that means you can look into your case through your fiancée. Maybe she knows something. She is the only one who gains something from it.”
“Good point. Thanks for coming over, doctor.” Toby extended his hand
Kurtis shook it. “No problem. Call if you need anything, Mr. Fuller.”
“Sure.” Toby nodded, then he called Tom to come in. “Send the doctor off.”
“Yes sir,” Tom answered before inviting Kurtis to go with him. After he sent the psychologist to the elevator, Tom went back to the office. “Are you alright, sir?” he asked with concern.
Toby nodded. “I’m fine. Call a few more psychologists for me.”
The request shocked Tom. “What’s wrong, sir?” He wants more? One isn’t enough? Is he that sick already?
Toby looked at him impatiently. “Just do it. I’m not asking for your opinion.”
“I’m just worried.” Tom pouted.
Toby massaged his temples. “Alright, shut it. And look into Tina. I want to know if she has seen any psychologists over the last six years. Especially ones who specialize in hypnosis.”
He suspected that Tina hired someone to hypnotize him, since she stood to gain a lot from this. Even if she wasn’t the mastermind, she was definitely involved. At this thought, Toby added, “And look into the Grays.”
“Sir, about the first request… Dr. Lancaster has mastered the art of hypnosis, and he’s Miss Gray’s friend. If she needs a psychologist, he’d be her first choice,” Tom said.
Toby squinted, his eyes glinting coldly. “Then look into Tim Lancaster.”
“What about the Grays then?” Tom asked.
Toby looked at him, annoyed. “Do I even have to tell you what to do?”
Tom stood up straight. “I understand. I’ll look into it.”
It was only then Toby retracted his gaze. Of course he would look into them. If Tina and the Grays were behind this, they wouldn’t ask Tim to help out. Everyone knew Tim was their friend, so asking him to help out risked exposing them. The Grays weren’t stupid, so they would definitely hire another psychologist. However, Toby couldn’t be too sure, so he wanted to look into both of them.
It was the first time she came across a man as beautiful as him, and his eyes were a special grey, as if it contained the whole universe. However, his gaze was deadly cold, as if he didn’t see her as a human. As if… she was already dead to him. That realization made her shudder. This guy’s dangerous. Sonia clenched her fists and went on high alert. “Hello, sir. Why are you looking at me like that? Do I know you?”
The man answered her, but his voice was as cold and dead as his gaze. “You shouldn’t go near him anymore. At this rate, I’ll have to break my promise.”
“I’m sorry?” Sonia was flabbergasted. “What do you mean? Who is this ‘him’ you’re talking about? And what promise?” I don’t understand a word.
The man didn’t answer.
She wanted to know more, but then Carl called out to her, so she turned around. “Oh, you’re back.”
Carl came up to her with a smile. “I thought I told you to go ahead. Why are you still standing alone here?”
“Alone?” Sonia was surprised to hear that. “I’m not alone. I was talking to a guy. He’s…” She turned around and was about to introduce the man, but he was nowhere to be found, as if he had disappeared into thin air. “Huh? Where is he?”
“What are you talking about, Sonia?” Carl looked at her curiously. “There’s nobody here.”
Sonia froze up, then she shook her head and smiled. “He’s gone. That’s why you didn’t see him.”
“I see.” Carl nodded. “Who was the guy?”
Sonia shrugged. “No idea. He’s handsome, but a bit creepy. Told me a lot of stuff, but I didn’t understand a word.” She thought back to what the man said, her mind racing. The guy knows me, but I’ve never seen him before.
