Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1000

"No way!" A look of disapproval crossed Sonia's face as she hastily kept refusing.

Daphne was visibly shaken as she stood anxiously behind the lounge door and firmly grasped the door handle with both hands. It was obvious that she was resisting. So, she had to quickly stop Charles from entering the room by blocking the door while thinking that Sonia should give it her all and prevent Charles from entering.

Sonia's rejection had only fueled Charles' suspicions as he eventually asked, "Sonny, are you keeping a lover inside, which is why you won't let me look?"

"What?" Sonia's lips quivered into a questioning twitch as she answered, "A lover? Am I the kind of person that does that?"

"Explain why you're blocking my entry if that's the case." He rolled his eyes.

"It makes no difference why. I said no." Sonia's arm was still outstretched to block his way.

"Could you be anxious because Toby is in the room? That's not right. If he's your man, there's no need to keep him from me. To top it all off, he is a jealous man. If I'm here now, he'll be out in an instant. So, Sonny, who are you hiding behind closed doors? Are you doing something that might upset Toby?"

"Do you believe it is possible?" She rolled her eyes and let out a long sigh.

"It's impossible," he replied as he shook his head.

"That's it," Sonia stated flatly.

"Why won't you let me in if you aren't trying to keep a lover hidden inside and haven't done anything that would cause Toby any harm? Who is it that you have hidden inside? Why are you acting so suspiciously?" Charles asked while pointing to the lounge that was located behind her.

"I won't reveal who's inside, but I can tell you she's a girl. She felt uncomfortable, so I invited her to take a break in my lounge. She was ready to come out after her nap, but she's too embarrassed to leave my office while I have a visitor. She is pretty shy," she said as she lowered her arms.

"Oh, really?" He arched his brow.

Sonia looked at him coldly and responded, "Yes, without a doubt. How could I possibly betray Toby?”

"No, of course not! I believe you, then. It would be disrespectful and inappropriate for me to have a look given that the person in question is a girl," Charles chuckled as he spoke.

"You shouldn't be seeing in the first place." Sonia sneered before continuing, "It's almost lunchtime now. Let me buy your lunch, okay?" she said this as she looked at the watch on her wrist.

Such words were said to hold Charles at bay to allow Daphne to leave the lounge room. Otherwise, he would be endlessly curious about who was in the lounge, causing her to fear being discovered at any moment. Sonia was also anxious about the potential outcome of the encounter between the two. For this reason alone, Sonia knew that both she and Charles should leave the office.

After hearing Sonia's words, he felt compelled to lower his head and rub his tummy. "Okay, I'll admit it: I'm starting to get hungry. Where do you suggest we eat? Should we eat at the cafeteria or go to a nearby restaurant?"

Sonia flashed a grin as she reached the shelf where her purse was kept inside. "I lack the courage to ask you to the cafeteria because you are such a distinguished guest. Of course, we should eat at the restaurant. What kind of food are you craving right now?"

"On this cold day, let's have a spicy dish. It'll be delicious," Charles answered as he licked the edge of his mouth.

Sonia nodded and said, "Of course, but I suppose you favor it because you fear the cold."

Her eyes wandered down his bare chest and ankles as she spoke and she let out a mischievous laugh.
