Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 172

“Are you new here?” Tina glared at the receptionist.

The receptionist shook her head. “No.”

“Why are you stopping me, then? Do you know who I am?” Tina pointed at herself. I’m Toby’s fiancee, future CEO of the Fuller Group and wife of the president. How dare a mere receptionist stop me?

The receptionist was feeling a lot of heat from Tina, but she forced herself to keep a smile. “I know who you are, Miss Gray,” she answered apologetically. “But I can’t let you go upstairs. President’s orders.”

“Toby said that?” Tina froze up, but then she clenched her fists. “What did he say?” she asked coldly.

“President Fuller said you must make an appointment if you want to see him from now on. We can’t let you in if you don’t have an appointment. You can call him if you don’t believe me, Miss Gray.” After that, the receptionist bowed to Tina and stood before the exclusive elevator. Obviously, she wouldn’t let Tina up.

Tina’s face was flushed with anger. Just you wait. I’ll get Toby to fire you. She snorted and went to the lounge area to call Toby.

Toby was still in the meeting when Tina called him. He frowned, but still he looked at who was calling. However, when he realized it was Tina, his face fell, and he ended the call.

Tina was shocked that the call was cut off so abruptly. He hung up on me. She was angry, but also scared. What is he doing? Why didn’t he pick his phone up? Is he mad at me for the switcheroo?

Or...

Tina bit her lip, then she called Toby again without any hesitation. I have to get through to him no matter what.

“There’s that then. Let’s talk about the details and the rules. I—” Toby’s phone rang again before he could finish his sentence. His face fell when he realized it was from Tina again, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes as he cut the call. But Tina called him again a few moments later.

The president on his right took a glance out of curiosity, and he smiled when he saw who the caller was. “President Fuller, you should take it. It’s from your fiancee after all. Maybe it’s something urgent.”

Sonia was sitting at the other end of the table, the spot furthest from Toby. When she heard who the caller was, she arched her eyebrow. Tina? She looked at Toby in interest.

I thought he loved her, but now he won’t even take her call? And he’s impatient with her too. Did something happen between them?

Sonia wasn’t the only one who was thinking about that; the other presidents were too. Everyone saw what Toby did, so if he truly was going to break up with Tina, they would have to reconsider their relationship with the Grays. Ever since the Grays managed to ally themselves with Toby, during the past two months, they had been acting all high and mighty. That attitude got on everyone’s nerves, so it was good news if Toby dumped her.

“My apologies, everyone. I’ll have to stop the meeting for a while. I need to take this call.” Toby didn’t know what everyone was thinking, of course, but he knew Tina would call him again if he didn’t take her call. Even if he turned his phone off, she’d call Tom, so Toby stood up with his phone in hand.

“Understandable. Work is important, but so is family. Take your time, President Fuller. Don’t let her wait.” All the presidents smiled at him.

Toby nodded at everyone before going out of the room, then Tom followed him out.

Everyone burst into discussion after the two of them left.
