She was amused. Its been a while since they'd make amends, but she didn't expect Tobias will seek for her approval about what he would call her.
"alright, so can we watch spongebob now?"
she nodded and snatched the remote control from his hand.
"really?"
"uh huh."
she was scanning the channel.
"and you can call me Toby!"
She immediately looked at him,
"Toby?"
she muttered to herself, but Tobias still heard it.
"yes!"
he was smiling cheekily.
"okay"
She really missed this, like the old days that they don't have to think about anything, except for playing.
But,
but they're adults now. Maria suddenly remembered Tobias company!
"Tobias, I mean Toby, who managed your company?"
"me"
"what?!"
how can he do that, if his here?
"but how?"
"I brought my laptop with me, so they can just email it to me."
"who emailed you? Did you get a new secretary?"
she asked, remembering that she already handed her resignation letter.
"why do I hired a new one?"
he turned completely at her, confusion was in his eyes.
Based on his reaction, it seemed Melody didn't gave it. Or, she never had the chance.
"I'd already handed..... my ... my resignation .. letter to...to Melody. I asked her if she could gave it .... to you."
why is she nervous? She watched as Tobias expression changed.
"when was that?"
"the day you kidnapped me"
she looked down and started fidgeting.
"I didn't received it, so you're not yet resigned."
She lifted her head and looked at him.
"what do you mean by that?"
"you can still work in my company. You can still be my secretary."
he said firmly. Looking at her seriously.
"but... some of them might knew that I already resigned."
"I don't care, I don't want a new one. I want you to be my secretary, only you Iya."
Maria was happy to heard him calling her Iya.
She was defeated, she can't do anything but to gave in.
"when we'll be coming back?"
"you're not happy here?"
his face dimmed.
"its not like that, but we can't be like this forever. You have to go to your company, and I need to go home."
she reasoned out and looked back on the TV.
She remembered something, but she's too shy to ask.
"how bout your girlfriend?"
she blurted out, too late to take it back.
'Me and my big mouth!'
Tobias turned to her and smiled.
"she's busy, she's in abroad."
Why does she felt her heart ached?
"does she knew that you're with me?"
"no"
So he didn't want to let Charlotte knew about their situation? She even felt more depressed.
She had lost her interest in watching her favorite cartoon show. She think of a reason to excused herself.
'why am I feeling this? Its weird.'
she thought sadly.
"Tobias,"
"Toby"
he interrupted her.
Duh!
"Toby?"
"what?"
he looked at her, waiting for her speech.
"I'll just take a nap, I felt tired."
she lied, not looking directly at him.
She doesn't want to let him saw the truth in her eyes.
"do you want me to massage your back?"
he offered, her face flushed.
Massage?!
'yes please!'
she happily thought but became serious on the outside.
"no need, I'll just sleep it off."
"are you sure?"
Maria nodded her head in response. She turned to leave not giving him a second glance.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
