Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 479

After learning that Sonia had made him some soup, Toby was seen with his eyes lighting up. Deep down, he felt over the moon but decided to suppress his happiness while tightening his grip around his phone.

I mustn’t accept her soup! This is nothing different from refusing to see Sonia since I’ve decided to stay away from her.

Toby was certain that Sonia would never know he was trying to distance himself from her if he accepted her soup. Thus, she would keep delivering him soup again and again, yet he wasn’t sure if he could turn her down every single time. In the face of his own question, it didn’t take him long to figure out the answer.

No, I’m sure I won’t be able to make myself turn her away. In fact, which man in this world would ever reject something the woman he loves gives him ?

Knowing it would eventually become a joke if he accepted Sonia’s advances, Toby told himself that he must never accept the soup. After all, he had made up his mind to cut ties with her from the beginning, or it would only become harder for him to leave her if he went soft on himself.

At the thought of that, Toby closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. A few moments later, he opened his eyes, in which what was only left was his determination. “Tom.” Toby grabbed the telephone and dialed the intercom to reach Tom in his office.

At that moment, Tom was busy with his work when he heard the telephone ringing. He then put down his pen and answered the call. “President Fuller.” “Sonia left me some soup at the front desk. Please collect and return it to her.

Then, tell her to stop wasting her time on all this nonsense because I won’t accept anything she gives me.” Toby hung up the call as soon as he finished his sentence.

In the meantime, Tom was left hanging with the telephone in his hand. When his eyes fell upon the stack of documents lying in front of him, he curled his lips upward, thinking he would probably need to stay up late for work.

Upon hanging up the phone, he bitterly patted his face with a smile and stood up before walking away from the office. An hour later, he arrived at Paradigm Co. with the thermal flask, where Sonia was in the middle of a meeting.

Soon, Daphne opened the door and entered the meeting room. “President Reed.”

“What’s the matter?” Sonia put her hand up, gesturing to everyone in the meeting to briefly pause as she looked at her secretary and asked.

Meanwhile, Daphne looked around the meeting room and walked closer to Sonia, whereupon she bent over and whispered to her ear, “Mr. Brown is here.”

“Tom? What’s he doing here?” Sonia raised her eyebrows in confusion.

Daphne shook her head. “It beats me, but according to the receptionist at the front desk, he seems to be holding a thermal flask.”

Sonia curled her lips and smiled, knowing what Tom was here for. I bet he came because Toby told him to return the thermal flask to me. She then pointed at her own laptop and said, “Please take him to my office. I’ll be done here in a minute.”

As Daphne replied with an affirmative hum and excused herself, Sonia kept herself together and turned her attention back to the meeting. “Alright, let’s resume our discussion.”

After Sonia’s words reached every corner in the meeting room, the atmosphere in the space was once again filled with a stern aura for over ten minutes until the meeting was over. Then, Sonia shut down her laptop and left the meeting room for her office. As soon as she opened the door, Tom immediately stood up and greeted her in an estranged manner. “Miss Reed.”

“Hello, Tom.” Sonia nodded and walked toward her desk, but when she got there, she spotted the thermal flask and was about to say something.

Nonetheless, Tom beat her to it and said, “Miss Reed, I have been told by President Fuller to return you the soup you made him.”
