Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1225

Sonia smiled gently at the young lady. "Of course. In fact, I will always support any one of you as long as you're working hard for your future. Therefore, I want you to know that there is nothing you should worry about besides working toward your goal."

Rita was touched upon hearing Sonia's words. She then wrapped her arms around the document and nodded with a bashful smile on her face. "Loud and clear, President Reed. You're such a kind employer."

"Thanks for the endorsement. Is there anything else?" Sonia was happy to hear her subordinate's compliment.

"Actually… yes. The departmental managers wanted me to ask you and see if you're done with the document they submitted earlier so they can proceed further."

Sonia's smile immediately stiffened when she heard Rita's words. The next second, she quickly shifted her gaze back to the document she was reading while awkwardly glimpsing the pile of files beside her. Oh my god! This is awkward. She then looked at Rita with a brittle smile. "Nope, I'm not done here. I wasn't in the right state of mind earlier, so I'm going to need more time. Please tell the departmental managers that I'll have the documents sent to them in an hour." In response, Rita smiled and nodded without asking Sonia why she was distracted before she excused herself.

As soon as Rita left, Sonia heaved a sigh of relief and leaned back on her chair, fixing her eyes on the ceiling. Now, pulling a prank on Toby is one of the biggest mistakes I've made today. If I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have been bothered by the thought that Toby might be mad. It's taken a toll on my productivity. I guess that's why we shouldn't do anything against our conscience because what goes around comes around.

At the thought of that, Sonia smiled helplessly and reached for her cell phone to send Toby a text message in an attempt to sound him out and see whether he was furious. However, instead of sending him a text message, she sent him an emoji and spent the next few moments staring at her phone, her heart beating like a jackhammer.

Oh dear, will he reply? Will Toby reply? If he does reply, that means things are not as bad as I think, and all I have to do is make him happy again; but if he doesn't, then I guess I'm screwed. That probably means he is mad.

Disturbed by the thought of the worst-case scenario, Sonia could not get over her anxiety as she kept praying for Toby to reply. Please! I hope Toby isn't too busy at the moment. If he is, he is probably going to miss my message for a while. If that's the case, I wouldn't be able to know whether he is really mad or not.

While Sonia was overwhelmed by her anxiety, Toby was talking to someone else over the phone in front of the window. "Alright, I heard you…" Before he could finish his sentence, he felt the vibration from his phone and frowned. Thus, he took a look at his phone and realized it was a message from Sonia. With a pair of knitted eyebrows, he lightened up and chuckled. "Haha." I bet she is sending this message to admit her mistake. However, the person on the other side of the phone had no idea what was going on. Thus, he couldn't help but feel worried when he heard Toby's chuckle.

"M-Mr. Fuller, did I say anything wrong?" the person nervously asked, wondering why Toby would suddenly chuckle. Did I say anything funny?

Meanwhile, Toby decided to check out Sonia's message later and resumed his tele-conversation, putting his phone back to his ear. "No, it has nothing to do with what you said. It was my kitty, actually."

Upon hearing his subordinate's words, Toby raised his eyebrows, confused about what the other person was referring to. What's going on here? What kind of secret do I have that I can't afford to tell people about? Nonetheless, Toby didn't dwell on his question and walked toward his desk, saying, "Alright, I have no questions about what you just told me, so prepare a proposal and submit it to me. If nothing goes wrong, I'll approve it soon."

"Alright, Mr. Fuller." The person on the other side of the phone nodded.

"Hmm. If there is nothing else, we'll talk again soon," Toby replied.

"Oh, sure. I'm going to leave you and your little kitty to it, Mr. Fuller."

Toby raised his eyebrows, finding his subordinate amusing. After hanging up the call, he sat down in his chair and viewed the message that Sonia had sent him earlier. Unlike what he had expected, Sonia's message turned out to be an emoji of a big blue cat in a GIF format instead of her apology. The blue cat was seen with its paw on top of the wall as it stuck its head out to peek before it tucked its head back as if it had just done something wrong. At the sight of the emoji, Toby curled his lips upward, seemingly understanding the meaning behind that expression.

I guess she probably knew her mistake of leaving a lipstick mark on my cheek, yet she was too afraid to ask if I was angry, so she sent me this cute emoji to sound me out. What a cheeky little girl! Toby shook his head and smiled while giving Sonia a video call.
