Chapter 733 Clingy
“No.” He put his forehead against hers and gave her a serious look. “You have to trust me, and you have to say it, so let me hear it. I can’t rest easy if I don’t hear it, so you have to say it.”
Sonia resigned, so she said, “Fine, fine. I’ll say it, alright? I trust you. There, happy?”
Toby smiled happily.
Amused, Sonia pinched his face. “Why are you acting like a child?”
“Only to you.” He puffed his chest out.
Sonia was amused. “And you seem proud about it.”
“Why not?” He looked up with pride. “That’s a compliment to me.”
She shook her head. “I’m not complimenting you, though I won’t say anything if you want to take it that way.”
“Then I will take it that way.” He sipped some coffee, then he recalled something. “Oh, right. About the machines from Kosovo. You told the factory workers to assemble the first batch already, right?”
“Yes. They’re done, and it’s great.”
“Did you find a seller?” he asked again.
Sonia nodded. “Of course. I called them before the machines came. I’m not the newbie president anymore, you know. I arrange stuff beforehand so I won’t fumble at the last moment.”
“Not bad,” he praised.
Sonia smiled as well.
“So, which company did you partner with?” Toby put his coffee down and looked at her.
“Excellence Co.,” she answered.
Toby nodded. “Not bad. A century of good reputation. You have a great eye for this.”
Sonia smiled. “Not me, but my dad. He worked with Excellence Co. a lot when he was still alive. The company’s leader is my father’s friend, so we’re working well together.”
Toby grunted. “Excellence Co. just opened a new mall, and they’re going to start business at the end of this month. Did they give you an invitation?” He would bring her there if she had no invitation. I heard Excellence Co. just hired some experts in heavy industry. I can introduce them to her as it’s her company’s main business. Once it gets listed again, some changes must be made, and expert opinions are needed for that.
Sonia didn’t know Toby was planning for her. She went to her desk and took out a purple invitation from her drawer. “Guess what this is?”
Toby arched his eyebrow. “So you got it already. Not bad.”
She put the invitation back. “I just got it yesterday. I was about to tell you, but I forgot. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have thought about it.”
“Come with me then.” He looked at her invitation. “As my lover.”
Sonia massaged her temples. “Since the museum needs time to be finished, then we’ll keep the cafeteria there. Once our factory is done with the renovation, close down the factory’s cafeteria.” She had promised that she would cover all food expenses for the museum builders until the museum was finished.
“Yes, Chairman.” Daphne nodded.
Sonia looked at her schedule. “Tell the renovators I’m going to check on their progress this weekend. If they’re not working on weekends, then just send a representative to wait for me.”
“Yes,” Daphne said.
Sonia looked at her. “Anything else?”
“No.” She shook her head.
Sonia smiled. “You may leave now.”
“Yes.” Daphne nodded and left the office.
After she left, Sonia took her pen and was about to work, but then her phone rang, so she picked it up. Tim? She tilted her head to the side in surprise. Why did he call me? She took the call without hesitation. “Anything you need, Dr. Lancaster?”
“She’s getting jailed, isn’t she?” Tim cut to the chase.
Sonia wondered what he was talking about, but when he mentioned prison, she knew he was talking about Jessica.
“Yes. She slandered the nation. It’s a crime, and she has to serve time.” Sonia nodded. Jessica’s slanders against her was a crime as well, but the consequences weren’t severe. She would be detained for some time at most, but since she had insulted the nation, she had taken it to a whole other level. At the very least, she would be locked up for months.
