Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 751

Toby raised his eyebrows, feeling slightly surprised about Sonia’s indirect way of complimenting him, making his day because he reckoned she approved of him. “Eat more if you like it. There’s plenty left for both of us.” Toby smiled and pulled the chair, sitting down on it before the two of them began to dig in.

When they were halfway through enjoying their meal, Toby put down his bowl and gazed at Sonia. “Stay home at rest while I’ll head out to take care of some business. I’ll be back when I’m done.”

“Sure.” Sonia nodded. “Actually, you don’t really have to keep me company because I'm going to work later.”

“Work?” Toby glimpsed at the balcony and looked back at the lady with a strange gaze. “Are you sure about that?”

“Yeah.” Sonia nodded, still unable to notice Toby’s unusual response.

Toby propped his head and smiled ambiguously at her. “Do you have any idea what time it is now?”

Sonia’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that, as she had a bad feeling that surged through her. “W-What time is it now?” Don’t tell me it’s noon now.

Then, Toby reached for his phone and showed it to Sonia, who got stunned after looking at the time on the screen. “Sixteen hundred hours?” According to the time in Westsanshire, it should be around 4 PM now. At the thought of that, she exclaimed with her mouth wide agape in disbelief. “What?! I was asleep for so long?!”

“You were beat and exhausted, so it’s not surprising that you had a long sleep.” Toby put away his phone and nodded.

“What do you mean it’s not surprising?” Sonia covered her face in frustration. “I was supposed to visit the site and inspect the renovation, but...” The renovation team should already be gone by now, yet here I thought it was just noon by now after I woke up. Wait a second.

“By the way, when did you wake up?” Sonia stared at the man and asked.

“Around noon,” Toby answered upon taking a sip of water.

“Why didn’t you wake me up after you were up for so long?” Sonia raised her voice.

Toby blinked innocently. “Because I wanted you to sleep longer due to the tiring moments we went through last night. Furthermore, are you sure you were in the right condition to go to work even if I woke you up at that time?” He subconsciously shifted his gaze to her crotch.

“What’re you looking at?” Sonia steered the man’s face away from her in embarrassment, secretly admitting the fact that she wouldn’t have been able to head to work, even if Toby had woken her up. After all, her poor condition wouldn’t have been better before noon either, as she believed she would have struggled to walk as well.

Ugh, man'. If I had insisted on visiting the site to inspect the renovation, I would have become a laughingstock there.

“Oh man. If I had known that I’d be in such a poor state today, I would have..."

“Don’t worry. Your job isn’t affected at all.” Toby interrupted her words because he would never let her regret the precious moment they shared the night before.

“What? Did you just say that my job isn’t affected at all?” Sonia’s anxiety seemed to be alleviated by Toby’s reassuring reply.

Toby nodded and said, “I had Tom apply for leave for both of us this morning, so your secretary should know what to do. Besides, she hasn’t called you until now, so that must mean she has taken care of everything.”

Upon hearing the man’s explanation, Sonia squinted and believed that Toby could be right. However, she was still prompted by her prudent nature to seek confirmation from her secretary. Needless to say, Toby saw through what was on her mind and decided to hand her phone over to her without even being asked to do that.

In the meantime, Sonia was about to give Daphne a call to ask the latter about the latest arrangement of her that day, but as soon as she unlocked her phone screen, she saw her secretary’s message that was received earlier that morning. It turned out that her original itinerary was rescheduled right after her absence at work was confirmed. Then, she took a look at the amended schedule and saw the inspection was delayed to the following day, just as the construction team would postpone their plans. It was only then that she heaved a sigh of relief and put her mind to ease.
