Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 550

“I see.” Sonia nodded before she smiled. “Alright, then. I won’t take up any more of your time from work.”

“Okay,” Daphne quickly replied before she headed out of the door.

As she stared at Daphne’s retreating figure, Sonia couldn’t tell whether she was hallucinating or if there was indeed something odd with Daphne’s walking. Nevertheless, she figured that it was probably because Daphne wore a new pair of high heels and wasn’t used to it, so she didn’t ponder much about it and continued working.

On the other hand, Daphne couldn’t calm down at all even though she had just left Sonia’s office. After she closed the door to Sonia’s office, she leaned against the door and slowly slid down into a squat before placing her head in between her knees. Such a position had rendered Daphne looking really helpless then.

Up until this moment, she still felt that what happened two days ago was like a dream. All Daphne had done was follow Sonia’s order to keep an eye on Charles, so how did Daphne end up doing that kind of thing with him? She felt her heart being filled with a mixture of emotions when the thought of what had happened the other day made her happy and hurt at the same time.

Daphne was happy that she finally had the man whom she loved and even managed to do the most intimate thing that a couple could ever do with him. As a result, it even allowed her to be as physically close to him as possible.

However, she was hurt when he sobered up and coldly warned her to forget about what had occured between them and acted as if nothing ever happened. Most importantly, she wasn’t even allowed to inform Sonia about it.

When Daphne recalled Charles’ cold gaze, she was experiencing shortness of breath. She felt like someone was slicing her heart and her face paled as if she was in deep pain.

At this moment, another assistant who was about to enter Sonia’s office noticed Daphne crouching down in front of Sonia’s office and asked in a stunned manner, “Miss Daphne, why are you squatting here?”

It was enough to cause Daphne’s gaze to immediately waver before she looked up and forced a smile. “I don’t feel well; that’s why I decided to squat for a little while.”

“You’re not feeling well?” The assistant stared at Daphne’s face and noticed that she was completely pale before he offered in a worried tone, “Let me bring you to the infirmary.”

Then, the assistant reached out to help Daphne up.

However, Daphne rejected the offer as she used the wall as leverage to rise to her feet. “It’s fine. I’m much better now, so I don’t think that I’ll need to go to the infirmary. Didn’t you say that you wanted to see President Reed? Go on, then. You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll return to my office now.” Then, she straightened her clothes before heading back to the secretary department while walking in an odd manner.

While watching Daphne leave, the assistant couldn’t help but feel that Daphne’s behavior was extremely peculiar. Still, he didn’t think much about it and shrugged before entering Sonia’s office.

“President Reed, I’m here to collect the documents from you.” He walked toward Sonia and greeted while Sonia opened her drawer and produced a document. Then, she said, “Here. Remember to archive it once you have finished using it.”

“Of course, President Reed,” the assistant replied with a smile.

It was right after that when Sonia’s red lips opened a little. However, her phone suddenly rang when she wanted to say something. Upon seeing the caller ID, she grinned before dismissing the assistant. “You may leave now.”

“Alright.” He nodded before leaving.

Then, Sonia answered the call and placed the phone next to her ear. “Hey, Mrs.

Lane.”

“Hey, Sonny. I hope I'm not disturbing you from your work.” Grace’s gentle voice rang out from the other end of the call while Sonia grinned and shook her head. “Of course not.”

“That’s good.” Grace sighed in relief.

At this moment, a curious Sonia asked, “Mrs. Lane, is there a reason why you’re calling me at this hour?”

It was at that moment when Mrs. Lane, who was on the other end of the call, looked at the room upstairs and sighed. “Something has happened. Can you come out for a while, Sonny? I have something to discuss with you.” “Sure, but may I know what you would like to talk about?”

Grace chuckled. “You’ll know when the time comes.”

“I see. Sure.” Sonia nodded in agreement and wasn’t upset that she didn’t receive an answer from Grace.

“Let’s meet at Prince Cafe in an hour,” Grace responded before sending Sonia the address to the cafe.
