Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again
Chapter 771

Chapter 771 Accompany Him to Work

Upon hearing Tom’s displeasure, Anya had her pupils constricted a little before realizing her behavior was inappropriate. Immediately, she pursed her lips and forced herself to smile. “No. Of course not. That’s not what I meant.”

“What do you mean, then?” Tom frowned while Anya lowered her gaze. “I’m just trying to express my disbelief because I didn’t expect Miss Reed to voice out for me despite me offending her, and that’s why I was so surprised when I heard what you said. I am not being ungrateful for Miss Reed’s kindness. Instead, I’m nothing but grateful for her thoughtfulness.”

Tom dropped the topic as Anya’s explanation was logical, and he couldn’t replace any fault in what she said, so he harrumphed. “That’s good to know. You may return now, Miss Steinfeld. We will be waiting for your compensation and apology.”

Anya nodded. “Alright.”

Then, Tom stopped entertaining her and turned around to enter Toby’s ward.

Meanwhile, Anya watched as Tom left with a twisted expression on her face.

Nevertheless, her demeanor only made her face look even more stiff and terrifying due to her facial reconstruction surgery.

Of course, Tom didn’t know about what happened after he left.

When he entered the ward and saw the couple cuddling on the hospital bed, he rolled his eyes secretly.

Are these two for real? Why would they still fool around in bed instead of getting up when they already woke up?

Although that was what Tom thought to himself, he didn’t dare to voice out his thoughts and only cleared his throat while acting as if he hadn’t seen anything. “President Fuller, Miss Reed.”

While Toby had no reaction, Sonia reacted awkwardly upon seeing Tom’s arrival before she blushed and wanted to get away from Toby’s embrace as she was awake now.

Sonia could act as if she didn’t know anything when she was asleep, but she couldn’t do so since she was awake.

It’s better if I get up.

Nevertheless, Toby hugged her waist tightly when he noticed that she was moving and refused to let her out of his embrace. “Stop moving!”

Sonia glared at him. “Let me go. Mr. Brown is here.”

Right then, Toby gave Tom a look, and Tom quickly tensed up and straightened his posture as if he was threatened. “It’s fine, Miss Reed. You can pretend I’m not here, really!” Tom said earnestly.

However, that made Sonia feel even more embarrassed.

Pretend he isn’t there? How is that even possible when he’s sitting right there? There’s no way that I can act like he’s invisible unless I’m blind or I really don’t care. Wouldn’t he witness everything if Toby suddenly gets into the mood for that?! That would be so embarrassing!

Toby could tell what Sonia was thinking about by looking at her wavering eyes. He smirked a little and got down to business, as that would distract Sonia from overthinking.

“Have you settled everything?” He turned to Tom while Tom nodded slightly before replying, “Everything is settled. That woman promised to pay for compensation and apologize to Miss Reed openly.”

Toby hummed in acknowledgment. “Alright.”

“However, she didn’t accept it at first,” Tom mentioned.

Upon hearing that, Tom frowned. “How so?”

On the other hand, Sonia didn’t look surprised as she chimed in, “It’s normal for her not to accept the arrangement, considering the fact that she might get cyberbullied after this.”

“That’s true.” Tom nodded. “She even thought that Miss Reed was trying to get revenge on her.”

“Me getting revenge on her?” Sonia chuckled in disbelief while Toby’s face darkened. “Who does she think she is for Sonia to get revenge on her?”

Tom shrugged. “At least that’s what she thought.”

Sonia laughed. “Had she never thought that Toby was the one who made that decision?”

Tom eyed Toby before he shook his head. “No.”

“As expected!” Sonia turned around and gave the man next to her a look with a ghost of a smile on her face. “Look how much she likes you. I can’t believe that all of the faults are placed on me, and she didn’t even suspect once that it could be your decision. I’ve become an evil woman, but you’re still as innocent as ever to her.”

“Stop it.” Toby reached out to pat Sonia’s head. “How are you an evil woman? You’re an angel to me.”

At this moment, Tom couldn’t help but cringe before he felt goosebumps.

Why didn’t I notice that President Fuller actually has many lame pickup lines in the past?

Noticing Tom’s reaction, Sonia couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Alright. Stop it. I was just joking anyway. What did you say in the end, Mr. Brown?”

“I told her that it was solely President Fuller’s decision, and you had nothing to do with it. After some warnings, she finally agreed to publicly apologize and explain why she apologized. However, when I was about to come in to report what happened, I received a message from President Fuller, so I told her that she only needed to apologize without giving any explanation. Upon hearing that, she was delighted and even pinched me purposely,” Tom answered with a frown.

“Pinched you?” Sonia was taken aback while Toby turned toward Tom as well. “What happened?”

Tom harrumphed. “She purposely took advantage of her happiness to pinch me so that she could get revenge on me for being rude to her.”

Then, he rolled up his sleeve and revealed ten deep fingernail marks on his arm.

Right then, all of the fingernail marks had turned purplish due to the torn blood vessels underneath.

Anya’s viciousness was made known after Tom’s arm was bruised even though he was wearing two layers of garments.

Even Sonia couldn’t help but suck in a deep breath. “Oh my goodness. That’s horrible.”

“This woman is a vicious one,” Toby narrowed his eyes and remarked with a deep voice while Sonia nodded. I agree.

In fact, she had already figured it out last night. Though, she didn’t think that Anya was vicious and only thought that she was a calculative person after what happened.

Therefore, Sonia’s face darkened when she saw the marks on Tom’s arm. She could tell that Anya wasn’t just calculative from how she treated Tom but was a brutal woman.

This woman is one to do anything to get what she wants. Thank goodness we won’t need to see her again after today, or it would make our lives even harder for sure.

“Go get a nurse to treat your wounds later on,” Toby observed Tom’s arm before he instructed.

Tom replied, “Alright.”

Then, he left.

After that, Toby and Sonia stop cuddling in the hospital bed and get up to pack their things to prepare for discharge.

Toby hadn’t been to Fuller Group since yesterday, and his work was already piled up, so he had to return to his company by today, no matter what.

After all, Fuller Group wasn’t a small company like Paradigm Co..

Although Sonia wanted Toby to rest for another day before resuming work, she quickly shut up when she heard that he had a meeting regarding a project worth a billion.

I can’t just let him lose a project worth about a billion. Even if he’s willing to rest, the stockholders in the company would surely riot.

Staring at Toby’s bandaged forehead, Sonia couldn’t help but feel bad for him.

How could she not feel bad for Toby when he had to resume his work right after regaining his consciousness in a hospital bed? As expected, being in a huge corporation is not all sunshine and rainbows.

Unlike Fuller Group, Paradigm Co. had never received any projects worth billions. Even if Sonia didn’t go to work for a few days, the company’s operation was still manageable by her employees, while Toby wouldn’t be able to do so as it was different in Fuller Group.

Sonia sighed at the thought of that. “Do you want me to accompany you to work?”
