Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1208

Sonia smiled. "You're really a benefit-first businessman. I'm really bad at it when compared to you."

As Toby stroked her hair, he comforted her. "You've just taken the first step. When you stay in the industry longer and become a veteran in business, you'll be like this too, but it's not a bad thing. Don't think that it's bad. After all, we're businessmen, so we should do what a businessman would do. Also, even if I was scheming that man just now, wasn't he doing the same thing to me too? He even used you to do so."

"I know, but you look as though you like what he plotted against you just now." She lifted her head and looked at him with a nonchalant smile.

At the same time, a smile tugged on his lips. "That's true. I like what he did. After all, he was praising you, so I'm happy to throw myself into plots like that."

"Hmph! How loquacious." The sweet smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

Before long, the elevator reached their floor, and both of them left the elevator to return to the condominium.

After Sonia changed her shoes, she hung her handbag on the side and looked at the man who was still bending down and changing his shoes. "You should shower first. I'll make broth for you," she said.

When Toby heard the word 'broth', his heart missed a beat, but after he made his mind clear that this broth was not the same broth as that, he took a deep breath to suppress the disgusted feeling before nodding gently. "Okay, I'll go shower first then. I'll fill the tub for you later."

"Okay," she answered him before grabbing the apron and heading into the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Toby stood at the same place and watched her go in. Only after that did he turn around and head in the opposite direction.

In the kitchen, Sonia opened the refrigerator and took out the beef short ribs that she asked her assistant to send over yesterday. After taking out some dried mushrooms, she washed her hands and started to work on the broth.

Grace was very considerate, for all the ribs that she sent over were all cut into pieces. It might be because she considered the fact that Sonia didn't have any tools to cut the ribs here. This made it easier for Sonia to make the broth.

After she washed the ribs, she put them in a pot and covered them up before heating the pot on medium heat. Then, she soaked the dry mushrooms in hot water and clapped her hands as she had completed the first stage of making the broth.

When the mushrooms were about done soaking, she put them in the pot and boiled them with the ribs. After three hours, the broth would be done.

Sonia had only put the bone in the water for a while, but she could already smell a faint aroma. When the broth is done later, I'm sure it's going to be super nice.

She went nearer to the pot and inhaled deeply before putting on a satisfied smile. After that, she took out the apron around her waist and was ready to leave the kitchen to wait for the broth to boil.

However, just as she turned around, she bumped into a hard wall of skin.

The wall was wet, hot, and even had a fresh minty scent, making it smell good.

After Sonia lifted her head, her eyes met Toby's handsome face and his dark eyes. All of a sudden, she said irritably, "Why did you walk without making any sound and suddenly appear behind me? You scared me! "

It turned out that the wall of skin just now was Toby's chest.

When Toby heard her accusation, he pressed his lips together innocently. "I made noise when I walked. You're the one who was too focused and didn't hear it. I didn't dare call your name either. I was scared that you'd be shocked and get burned, after all." His tone was a little sulky.

After Sonia saw that, she swallowed the words that she thought of to scold him and was embarrassed to say anything as well.

After all, seeing him act like this made her relent at once. All the tough words that she thought of couldn't come out of her throat all of a sudden.

This b*stard… I'm really in the palm of his hand. He knows my weaknesses, so he purposely gives me that look, making me lose. Sigh… Sonia felt resigned, but at the same time, she found it hilarious as well.

At this moment, Toby suddenly put his hand on her forehead. "Did it hurt from just now?"

She shook her head. "No. Although your chest is a little firm, it is still human skin. How painful can it be? Did I hurt you, though?" She lifted her head and looked at him with her eyes full of concern.
