Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1242

"Not yet." Sonia glanced in the direction of the washroom. "Toby's still getting changed and we're planning to head over at 7.00PM. The event only starts at 8.00PM, so there's no rush," she explained.

Grace heaved a sigh of relief before saying, "I'm glad you guys haven't left. I was worried that the Acrees might attempt to sabotage you and I was afraid that you would head out unprepared for any attacks. Perhaps I was just overthinking the situation."

Sonia felt a surge of warmth in her chest when she heard the concern in Grace's tone. The smile on Sonia's face softened as she spoke. "Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Lane. Don't worry about it. I'll let Toby know about this and we won't allow the Acrees to harm us in any way." Sonia would be ashamed if the Acrees managed to trick them again—the public would probably fault her for not being able to keep an eye on her own man.

"That's great." Grace nodded. "Well, you guys will just have to be a little more cautious. Don't let them get to you! Toby, in particular, will have to be really careful. The Acrees are targeting him and might attempt to trick him into sleeping with someone else tonight just to achieve their own goals. You guys will have to pay attention to everything that you guys eat and drink tonight. As reputable as you may be, you might still fall victim to some of these people's little schemes. You have to always be alert," Grace stated.

"Okay. Don't worry, Mrs. Lane. We understand," Sonia said with a smile. "By the way, Mrs. Lane, will you guys be joining the event?"

Grace shook her head. "Curtis received an invitation, but the Lane Family isn't involved in this line of business and there isn't much purpose in us attending the event. So, Curtis decided that he'd rather come home for dinner with the family than attend the event," Grace explained. At the same time, Sonia noticed how Toby had put on his suit and walked out of the washroom. Her eyes lit up as she stared at the man in front of her. "That's good. Mr. Lane sounds like a family man," Sonia chimed in.

"Yeah. I'm quite happy about it. That's how Curtis has always been—he rarely shows up to events that aren't related to the company. I'm glad he's the way he is," Grace said with a soft chuckle. "By the way, Sonia," Grace continued as she seemed to recall something. "Did you guys try the delicacies that Charles passed to you guys that day? How did it taste?" she asked.

Sonia nodded with a smile. "We did. They all tasted amazing and Old Mrs. Fuller really enjoyed it. She told me to thank you for the food," Sonia replied.

"There's no need to thank me. I'm glad you guys liked it. What about the collagen soup? Did Toby get to try it?" Grace asked again.

Sonia beamed at Toby as she recalled the events of the night before. "Yeah. It was good," Sonia replied, to which Grace commented, "I'm glad it tasted good. I looked around specifically for those ingredients as I figured it'd be good for Toby. I'll send more over if I get my hands on some."

"Alright. Thank you, Mrs. Lane."

"What did I say about thanking me…" Both of them giggled and chatted for a while longer before they ended the call. Toby stuffed a red necktie into Sonia's hands the moment she put her phone down. "Was that Mrs. Lane?" he asked. He overheard Rose talking about the good food and how she wanted to thank Grace for it. So, Toby figured that Grace was probably the one on the call.

As expected, Sonia took the tie from the man and threw it over his neck. He bent down a little to find that the tie was already hanging from his neck. The man was too tall—it was tiring for Sonia to tie a tie for him even though she was in her heels. When Toby noticed her struggling, he lowered himself into a squat so that it was easier for her to reach.
