A Morning Farewell

Sonia nodded without hesitation. “Yeah, you’ve asked me to do a full medical check-up in concern of my health. It’s just the same for you because I’m worried about your health as well. I shouldn’t be the only one doing it, right? That will be so unfair.”

She shot Toby a glance in resentment as the medical check-up had never been easy, especially the gastroscopy, which was pure torture in her opinion.

Gazing at her protesting look, he fell into silence because he knew that she would think so if she was to do it alone. Besides, it would be suspicious to her and hence, he compromised.

He cleared his throat before saying, “Okay. I’ll do it too.”

Sonia broke into a smile when she heard that. “That’s great! I’ll accompany you here a few days later.”

Staring at her crescent-like eyes, he shook his head in helplessness. “Alright.”

It was already 2.00AM when they arrived at Bayside Residence. Sonia had lost the fight against drowsiness and fell asleep along the way home.

Still, Toby could not bring himself to wake her up when they reached her place. So, he carried her in bridal style to the elevator to bring her back to her apartment.

Then, he helped to remove her make-up and washed her face, as well as brushing her teeth, treating her like a queen. The time struck three once he had finished all of those. Even if he had a strong and healthy physique, he felt tired.

When he joined her in bed, he looked down at the woman who cuddled into his embrace instinctively as she sensed something warm. Letting out a silent chuckle, he whispered ‘goodnight’ before hugging her and closing his eyes.

It was 6.00AM when Toby’s ringing phone woke him up. He opened his eyes to see the dark sky. One could still see the moon in the gray sky outside the half-covered window.

He then averted his gaze and grabbed his phone to pick up the call. Instead of placing the phone next to his ear, he turned to stare at the sleeping woman in his arms.

Seeing that Sonia was still fast asleep, he deemed it alright to speak over the phone, but lowered his voice nevertheless. “What’s the matter?”

“President Fuller, we managed to contact the codger and catch him,” reported Tom solemnly.

Toby’s eyes narrowed at the news. “Got it. I’ll be on my way there. Just keep an eye on him.”

“Okay,” responded Tom.

Toby put down the phone as the call had ended. The so-called codger was the boss of the factory, Sonia’s business partner.

After Tom caught the wind of Connor’s assistant dropping in at Dwells and Rentoor, Toby asked him to look into the fellow’s purpose of going there in order to find out if they were scheming something against Sonia.

After all, both the companies had worked with her before.

Tom went to Rentoor yesterday, but that company was acquitted by Ryan and they were not collaborating with Sonia at the moment. Ryan mentioned that an assistant named ‘Mr. Little’ did look for him to inquire about him and Paradigm Co.. The assistant left after being told that it had been two months since Rentoor worked with Sonia.

Then, Tom went to Dwells, only to discover that the boss had run away two days ago, causing the company to be sold to others in urgency.

Therefore, he was one step too late and failed to find out the reason for Connor’s subordinate’s visit there. Fortunately, the former boss of Dwells was still nearby and was caught by Tom’s underlings.

Now, all Toby had to do was to interrogate the codger about the deal he had with Connor, which made him go lengths by escaping. If he was reluctant to level with him, Toby would pluck his teeth out by force one by one!

Two hours had passed when Sonia was finally awake. She propped up on bed and zoned out, kneading her forehead while staring blankly. Did I wake up once just now and talk to Toby?

She looked at where Toby had slept. She fumbled her hand across the fabric to feel the cold sensation, which indicated the man had gone for a while now. As an afterthought, she felt that her hunch was right—she did wake up and bid him goodbye before he left.

Thinking that it was her first time bidding him goodbye so early in the morning, she smiled. Previously, she was oblivious of his early departure so many times that it became a regret for her. Still, her wish had been granted and there was nothing to regret about anymore.

Ruffling her hair, she got out of the bed and left the room to take the breakfast that was left at the entrance. She took some rest after the meal before changing clothes and putting make-up on. Then, she drove herself to Paradigm Co. by car.

Daphne had been waiting for her at the door that led to the office. Noticing her arrival, Daphne wore a smile. “Good morning, President.”

“Morning.” Sonia returned the smile and her footsteps came to a halt as her gaze landed onto her assistant’s belly. “When’s the next visit?”

Daphne looked down with a faint smile. “This weekend.”

Sonia hummed in reply. “That’s good. You should recover soon.”

“You’re right.” Daphne opened the door for her and she entered the office with Daphne trailing behind her.

“Oh, right. President Reed, you’ve mentioned that you needed to go for a check-up in the hospital yesterday. Are you alright?” Daphne questioned in concern.

Feeling the warmth crept into her heart, Sonia pulled the chair and took a seat. “Don’t worry. I’m fine. It’s just a normal check-up.”

“That’s a relief, then.” Daphne nodded and handed her the schedule for today without further questions.
