Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1197

Surprise filled Sonia's eyes when she saw him.

However, the man joked, "Why? Can't I come here?"

"Of course, you can." She approached him, took his hand in hers, and smiled. "Whenever you come to Paradigm Co., the employees treat you better than they do to me, and I'm their chairman. Even if I told them not to let you come up here, they wouldn't listen and would still let you in. So, do you think I can order them not to let you up here?"

"No," he answered honestly.

"Doesn't this explain everything?" She pulled the man inside. "But I didn't expect you to come so early. I thought you'd drop by later because you usually come here around 6.00PM, and it's only 5.00PM now."

That was why she was shocked when he appeared.

"I just happened to finish my work earlier, so I came early. How about you? Are you done?" Toby let her pull him inside and looked at her office desk while walking.

At this moment, Sonia's desk was a mess. Documents were everywhere, which made Toby, who was a minor neat freak, raise his eyebrows. "Are you swamped with work today?"

Otherwise, her desk would not be this messy.

Pulling Toby to her desk, Sonia finally let go of his hand, sighed, and explained in exhaustion, "Yes, it's been quite a hectic day. The factory has been fully renovated, and the equipment from Kosovo has arrived and is waiting to be installed. Once that's done, our factory can finally begin production, so I've been busy contacting all our business partners to discuss our contract signing. At the same time, I have to contact the other departments and prepare to apply for all kinds of permits for opening a factory. Then, there's the matter of hiring personnel to work at the factory. Besides all of this, I still have to settle all kinds of miscellaneous documents. I'm so swamped that I don't even have the time to arrange all these documents. I can only wait until I finish all of that to clean up this mess. Up until now, I still have some documents left to finish."

With a bitter face, she pointed at the pile of documents that were obviously piled up at the upper right corner of the desk.

"Is there any problem with those documents?" asked Toby.

He knew of her habits when placing things.

The books that she disliked, could not understand, or could understand but still felt doubtful about, would be habitually placed far away. Only after she finished books that she could understand would she then start on the unfinished ones and do some research on them.

According to that habit, the documents that were placed far away and left untouched should be the ones she found difficulty with, or at least documents she was not able to deal with at the moment because it required lots of research or phone-callings to the other departments.

However, if that was true, it would be time-consuming. Maybe before she even finished that pile, the easier documents would have piled up again and she would not have had time to deal with the entirety of them.

Therefore, it was clever of her to finish the easier documents and keep the harder ones aside first.

When Sonia heard Toby's question, she massaged her temples. "There are so many problems with them. I've flipped through them and found that they contain a lot of professional information about this industry, but I've only just started to get involved in it, so there's a lot that I don't understand and don't know how to deal with. I don't want to just sign and get tricked later on, so I can only set them aside and think about them later."

"Do you need to settle them right away?" Toby approached the pile and picked up the topmost file. "Can I take a look at this?"

He turned around to ask her.

Sonia shook her head but then nodded. "No, these aren't expedited documents. Sure, you can take a look. They aren't top-secret documents. My small company can't even compare with your company's subsidiary companies, so no matter how secretive these documents are, they are worthless to you. So, just look at them as much as you want."

To be honest, Paradigm Co. was really nothing before Toby.

Still, his effort to ask for permission before looking at those documents touched Sonia. He did not take advantage of their relationship and took the liberty to look through those documents.

Such an effort not only showed his respect for her but also for Paradigm Co.. It also showed her that he did not belittle Paradigm Co. because it was a small company.

Although Toby did not know what Sonia was thinking, he could not help but laugh quietly when hearing her reply. "Who told you these are worthless to me? You're here in this company, so this company is the most important in my eyes."
