President Fuller?

Sonia looked at the door of the private room, just in time to meet Toby’s cold gaze. After just one second, she averted her eyes and released the teapot in her hand.

“President Fuller, why are you here?” Chester, who was sitting next to Sonia, stood up and asked politely.

The men in the private room were all one generation older than Toby—some even two—but Toby’s power in the industry was obvious to everyone.

Coupled with the fact that the Fuller Group was currently at the peak of their power, they wouldn’t dare get into a public dispute with Toby.

Toby shot Sonia a glance, then walked in and said in his deep voice, “I heard that you were here playing cards, Mr. King, so I came to say hello.”

“It’s Friday today. It’s fine. Come and play some cards.” As opposed to the arrogance he displayed in front of Sonia, at this moment, he was speaking to Toby with a smile. “It just so happened that President Reed came to talk about the order of the goods, so she stayed to play a few rounds with us.”

Chester smiled and chimed in. “That’s right. I’m friends with Sonia’s father. He’s very good at playing cards, but she must be rather unlucky, because she keeps losing.”

The other two bosses muttered a few words in agreement as well, then they took the opportunity to exchange business cards with Toby.

Meanwhile, Sonia was silently fiddling with her cards.

After receiving the business cards from the two men, Toby strode toward Paul and said blankly, “You guys carry on playing. I’ll just watch.”

Paul understood the man’s actions as soon as he saw it, so he immediately gave up his seat.

Toby pulled out the chair and sat down. It was only at such a close distance did he notice that Sonia’s turtleneck was wet, and a little bit of hair was sticking to her fair neck.

“Cough, cough!” While she was playing, Sonia suddenly coughed twice.

Toby felt the chill, then saw that the window was wide open, so he went over and closed it before calling the waiter over and instructing, “Bring me a blanket.”
