Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 603

“What else has Mr. Karl reported to you?” Sonia rubbed her brows and asked.

Hearing that, Toby lifted his cup to take a sip of coffee. “This is the first time he reported to me about happenings in Paradigm Co. and it has never happened before. I asked him to only report the important issues to me and save the rest.”

“I see.” Sonia nodded. “Mr. Karl was at the shareholders meeting today too, so I suppose you’re already aware of the content of the meeting.”

“Yeah.” Toby nodded.

At that, Sonia snorted. “Why did you still call to ask me then?” “I want to hear your voice,” Toby hummed softly.

Feeling her face burning, Sonia instinctively sat up straight. “W-What’s so nice about my voice?”

“It’s just nice.” Toby lifted his chin.

“Besides, I've missed you.”

As she heard that, Sonia’s face reddened even more, and she could feel the heat when she raised her hand to touch her face.

Immediately, she quickly fanned her face, hoping to reduce the temperature.

However, this little amount of wind did not help at all. Not only did she fail to reduce the temperature, but her face actually burned even more due to her nervousness and increased heartbeat.

“S-Stop your nonsense,” Sonia lowered her head and murmured in an extremely soft voice.

“I’m not talking nonsense. I’m serious. So... Sonia, would you like to have dinner together today?” Toby extended his invitation.

Sonia parted her lips and wanted to turn Toby down initially, but she ended up agreeing, “Sure.”

Upon hearing her positive response, Toby smiled even brighter. “I’ll come and find you in the afternoon then.”

“Okay.” Sonia nodded.

She had already agreed to have dinner with him, so what else could she say?

She couldn’t possibly stop him from coming over.

Moreover, when they got together half a month later, they would be eating together often, so this was just happening in advance.

“By the way, did you call me just to ask about the shareholders’ meeting?” Sonia rubbed her cheeks and asked after calming down.

Toby put down the coffee cup. “Yeah, you did a good job today.”

Sonia smiled and shook her head thereafter. “Actually, it’s not me who did well. The credit goes to Grandpa, Charles and Carl. If they hadn’t been secretly acquiring shares for me in the past six years, I wouldn’t possibly be able to take Paradigm Co. back.” Hearing this, Toby couldn’t help feeling a little jealous as he had not helped Sonia in this matter before although he knew what she said was true.

As if she felt the sulkiness of Toby at the other end of the line, Sonia tucked her hair and continued, “Of course, if you didn’t initiate for your branch companies to collaborate with Paradigm Co., our company would not become stable this quickly. So, I’m really grateful to you guys.”

“No worries. We’re supposed to always help our loved ones.” Toby smiled again. Obviously, Sonia’s words lightened up his mood.

Following that, the two continued talking about some other stuff before hanging up.

After ending the call, Sonia stared at the phone and smiled before putting it on the table. Then, she took a pen from the stationery holder and started working.

In the afternoon, Sonia pushed aside the documents which she had finished checking and glanced at the time at the bottom right corner of the computer screen. It was already halfpast five which meant she would be able to knock off in half an hour, so she reckoned Toby was going to reach soon.

At that thought, Sonia switched off her computer and took up the landline phone to call Daphne.

In no time, Daphne walked in. “President Reed.”

“Go and distribute these documents,” Sonia said while pointing at the pile of documents she had finished checking.

Daphne nodded. “Sure.”

With that, Daphne walked up to carry the documents and headed out after.
