Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1152

Sonia also knew just how important it was that she furthered her studies abroad, so she naturally didn't refute him.

"But…" She bit her lip, stuck in a tough position. "Who can I leave Paradigm with after leaving?"

This was her biggest issue right then.

Toby chuckled at that. "You can hire a professional manager, or I can send someone to look after it for you. How about I let Tom do it?"

Sonia chuckled in turn. "Aren't you transferring him to a tech company in Fredburg to be their CEO next year? Besides, that tech subsidiary of yours is also a listed company. Don't you think it's overkill to have Tom, who was originally supposed to manage a listed company, come and manage my small firm? Even if Tom doesn't mind, I feel bad for him. He deserves more than this with the skill he has."

"So you're saying you're more inclined to hire a professional manager?" Toby quirked a brow.

She hummed a response. "That's our only option so far. I don't really feel safe leaving Paradigm Co. to just any professional manager, but I've never engaged with people in this profession. Why don't you find one for me instead?"

"This is nothing. Alright, I'll sort it out for you. Have you made up your mind yet?" he asked.

At that, Sonia took a deep breath. "I'll take the exam. You're right. Be it for Paradigm Co. or for myself, I have to further my studies. Since I don't have to worry about having no one to look after the company after I'm gone, I'm all set to focus on preparing for the test. But like I said, I have zero foundation, so I'll have to study from page one. Professor Fuller, I'll be in your care for the next half a year."

A hint of a smile appeared in her eyes.

"Professor Fuller?" Toby quirked his brow again.

"Yeah, didn't you say you're going to teach me? It's only right that I call you Professor Fuller, no?" Sonia chuckled with a hand over her lips.

Toby rubbed his thumb as a hint of glimmer flashed across his eyes. "I like the salutation, but I'd like it even more if you call me that somewhere else."

"Somewhere else? Why?" His words baffled her.

Meanwhile, Toby smirked. "It'll add a bit of flare."

Sonia got him at once, and her face flushed, livid yet amused. "What are you smoking, Toby? Honestly, can you not make blue jokes all the time?!"

He chuckled in response.

"Alright, cut it out. Any more, and I'm going to flip on you. I'm being serious here, yet you always goof around."

"It's on me."

"Of course, it's on you. Anyhow, I'll really have to trouble you for the next half a year. I might have a tough time learning when I have zero basic knowledge. Promise me you won't get mad at me," Sonia said with worry.

At that, Toby' gaze softened. "I won't. A teacher who would get mad at their student is no qualified teacher. A qualified one would find the best method to guide their student. Relax, I won't get mad at you. I'll only use the best method to help you grasp the knowledge and get you into college."

Not only was Sonia no longer worried after receiving his guarantee, she was even confident that she could really ace the exam.

After all, as timorous as she was toward herself, she had to have some confidence in her beloved, no?

"Alright, enough about that. Are you done with work?" asked Toby as he withdrew his hand from the window and sat straight.

She rubbed her eyes while saying, "Almost."

"Come down, then. I'm right downstairs."

"You're already here?" Sonia was slightly surprised.

"Yeah," he answered. "I just arrived."

"Alright, I'll come down right away. Give me a second." She hurriedly got up from her chair while speaking.

She was in such a hurry to pack up that Toby could even hear the chair rolling away when she got up. At that, he cooed, "Relax, take your time. I'll give Tom a call later and have him prepare the application and study materials. I'll teach you for two hours every night once he has them ready."
