Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1090

Anya wouldn't have thought how terrible my mental state would be when she stole and ruined my dress in the first place. Similarly, I won't be kind-hearted and feel sympathy for her worsening mental state now. It's just tit for tat.

Just as she was deep in her thoughts, the voice of the police officer sounded. "The chief is waiting for you two inside." It turned out that he had taken her and Toby to the office door. As soon as he escorted them to the destination, he turned and left.

Once the police officer left, both Sonia and Toby didn't enter right away. Instead, they stood outside the door and looked at each other. Eventually, it was Toby who raised his hand and knocked on the door.

It didn't take very long before a muffled voice rang from behind the door. "Please come in."

They entered the office with the man's permission.

In the meantime, the person inside the office was sitting behind his desk and preoccupied with work. He paused in his work and raised his head when he heard the sound of footsteps walking into his office.

The moment he saw Sonia and Toby, he quickly placed the file in his hand away and stood up with a smile. Then, he walked around his desk toward them and extended a hand in greeting. "President Fuller. Miss Reed. You're finally here."

Toby reached out and shook the police chief's hand in greeting.

Shortly after, the police chief extended his hand toward Sonia, wanting to greet Sonia as well.

Unfortunately, as a possessive lover, Toby would never allow other men to touch Sonia, even if it was just a greeting out of courtesy.

Hence, Toby once again shook hands with the police chief with a frown—a hint of utter disgust was seen in his eyes like he was stepping on a deep pool of slush.

Meanwhile, the police chief was stupefied when he saw Toby shake hands with him again, and this led him to instinctively think that Toby was reluctant to let go of his hand so much that he actually wanted to shake hands with him twice. So it looks like I have won the heart of this wealthiest man in Seafield. In that case, will he agree if I request his sponsorship?

Just when the police chief was thinking about whether to draft a sponsorship list in the hope of helping the police station obtain sponsors, he suddenly heard bell-like laughter of amusement.

The police officer instantly returned to his senses and found that it was Sonia who was laughing while covering her lips. Not only that, Sonia even looked at her hand that was held tightly by Toby's when she chuckled in amusement.

At once, a realization hit him, and the police chief finally understood the situation. Therefore, he looked up at Toby, only to see the latter staring at him with a stern, gloomy-looking face. Moreover, the police chief even saw the hint of disdain and a trace of warning in Toby's eyes.

At that moment, the police chief instantly understood that Toby didn't admire him, nor did he win his heart. Otherwise, this wealthiest man in front of me won't look at me with disgust. As for the warning hint in his eyes, I know what it means. After all, I used to be a criminal police officer working in the Criminal Investigation Department, so I know how to read people like a book. He intercepted halfway when I reached out to shake hands with Miss Reed, and the warning look in his eyes also only appeared right after that. In short, he's very displeased with me wanting to shake hands with Miss Reed. As for his reason for displeasure, it relates to the possessiveness and desires a man has for his woman. When a man loves a woman so dearly, he won't allow any other men to touch her—not even a polite handshake. That's why he interfered halfway through my handshake with Miss Reed. He did so to warn me not to touch his woman.

After the police chief figured things out, his cheeks flushed in embarrassment, instantly becoming awkward and abashed.

He felt uncomfortable because he had no other intention besides just intending to just shake Sonia's hands out of courtesy. Yet, Toby mistook him for having indecent thoughts about Sonia, which made him feel deeply embarrassed.

At the same time, he was abashed from thinking Toby favored him. There I was, having the audacity to still believe that this wealthiest man shook hands with me for the second time just now because he acknowledged and was touched by the greatness of us civil servants. What's more embarrassing, I even thought of taking the opportunity to ask for his sponsorships. Fortunately, I didn't immediately ask him anything about support at that time. Otherwise, I'll be humiliated when I eventually receive a rejection.

As Sonia stood by the sidelines, she naturally saw the strained expression on the police chief's face. So, she had a general idea of what was wrong with him. Thus, she immediately hid her amusement and nodded shyly. "I'm sorry, Officer Chase. My lover values me quite a lot, so sometimes, he can get a little overboard with his protectiveness. Please forgive him."
