Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1055

Zane could imagine Sonia's gesture on the other end of the phone even though he could not see it. "I accept your congratulations," he said cheerfully and added, "and don't worry, if I get promoted, I'll be your supporter when I return."

He thumped his chest with a thud.

Sonia could hear it clearly over the phone and her heart trembled. Don't break your sternum, man.

"Thank you!" she replied quickly, interrupting Zane's thumping.

He actually stopped hitting his chest. He then turned and walked toward his assistant, who was not far away. "Why are you thanking me? We're friends. Okay, I need to hang up first because I don't have any signal here. We'll talk when I return. How about we get together for a meal?"

"Sure!" Sonia nodded in agreement.

The call was then disconnected.

She hung up the phone and looked at the screen before laughing while shaking her head.

"Is that Mr. Coleman, Miss Reed?" Daphne, who was sitting across from

Sonia, asked.

"Yeah. He knew about the rumors on the Internet, so he called to check on me," Sonia explained while nodding.

"Mr. Coleman is a wonderful man," Daphne stated as she rubbed her chin.

"Yes, he is a good man." Sonia agreed with a smile before asking, "Oh, right! What are you talking about earlier?"

Daphne's lips moved and she was about to say something. However, the office door was pushed open the next second.

Her words were cut off and strangled

in her throat once more. Ugh... I'm speechless. It seems that even the universe is stopping me from telling her.

Even Sonia was stunned as she laughed at the situation.

The two of them could not stop laughing the next second when Charles' familiar voice came from outside the office door. "Hey, Sonny."

When Daphne heard his voice, she became pale. Her pupils shrank and she asked Sonia for help. "Miss Reed...”

Sonia was also nervous at the time.

After all, none of them had expected Charles' unexpected appearance.

Even if Sonia wanted to help Daphne, she could not even hide her in her lounge.

This was because Charles had already stepped inside.

As she heard footsteps behind her, Daphne's face turned pale while her body trembled before she lowered her head to the point where it was about to touch her chest.

She was obviously terrified of Charles.

Of course, there was more to it than fear; there was also a guilty conscience.

Charles had no idea she was pregnant and she was afraid to tell him. That was why she was always afraid of meeting him; her main fear was that he would find out she was pregnant.

Looking at Daphne's cautious demeanor and Charles' approaching figure, Sonia knew there was no way they could avoid each other and she sighed. That's it; since they can't flee, they should just meet calmly.As long as I keep Daphne's pregnancy a secret...

Sonia coughed lightly as she thought about it. When Daphne looked at her, she gave Daphne a quick look. Keep your cool, Daphne, and don't put on such a guilty and nervous expression! Otherwise, it will be obvious to Charles.

Daphne realized that it was pointless to be fearful. After receiving Sonia's reminder, she quickly returned a grateful look, then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted her mentality.

At the very least, Daphne should conceal her guilty conscience, nervousness, and panic in front of the man.

Facing Sonia, Daphne squeezed her palm, finally adjusted her emotions and mentality before reverting to the secretary who was calm and composed.

In any case, she was a professionally trained secretary. Of course, she was best at self-regulation.

With that, Sonia was relieved to see that Daphne's mood had improved. Therefore, she became less anxious.

"What? Aren't you going to hide when you see me this time?" He directed the question at Daphne, crossing his arms.

When these words were spoken, not only did Daphne's face turn pale, but Sonia was also stunned.

"Charles, you..."

He immediately raised his hand, which was an indication to stop Sonia from interrupting him. He then looked at Daphne and added, "Do you think that I was unaware of the fact that you were hiding in Sonny's lounge the last time I came here?"

No doubt, Daphne's face was now as pale as a white sheet.

Sonia also took a deep breath at the rising tension surfacing in the room. I thought Charles was completely unaware of this. I never thought that he knew about it from the start. So, for Daphne's pregnancy...No way! He is still most likely unaware of this. If he knew about this, he would have sought confirmation from Daphne at this point.In short, as long as Charles is still in the haze about the pregna ncy, I can focus on resolving other issues.

"I'm sorry, Charles. I didn't hide on purpose," Daphne apologized, lowering her head and slightly biting her lower lip before adding, "but this time I didn't expect you to arrive suddenly. I wouldn't be here if I knew."

Charles' face darkened as he heard this and his anger grew stronger in his heart.

"You really did hide yourself when I said that I didn't want to see you. I didn't expect you to be so obedient," he sneered.

His words were odd, revealing a bitterness and anger that no one could comprehend.

Daphne's eyes glowed with resentment. "Of course, I must follow your orders, President Lane. After all, you are now my superior and I'm just a subordinate. Isn’t it reasonable to expect a subordinate to listen to his superior?"

"Hmph!" Charles gave a cold snort and remained silent.

Although he disagreed with her response, he had to admit that she was correct. As a result, he could not refute it and simply avoided continuing the conversation.

"Okay. That's enough. Daphne, please make President Lane a cup of coffee," Sonia instructed as she winked at Daphne.

Daphne realized something and immediately sent Sonia a grateful smile before saying, "Okay, Miss Reed. I’ll get started now."

She then turned around and left the room as soon as she finished speaking before her figure quickly disappeared.
