Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 776

Sonia was amused. "I know you're wealthy, but that doesn't mean you should give your money to the shareholders for free. Those money are not even dividends. If you use your own money to help them with whatever difficulties they're facing, they'll only become greedier, and the next time something happens, they won't be concerned since they know you'll resolve the matter to avoid them from suffering any loss."

Toby gently touched her nose before responding, "I know, but do you think I would let them take advantage of me for nothing? Only in their dreams."

Hearing that, she nodded. "That's true."

"Okay, we shall stop here. Let's go." He held her hands tightly and insisted, "I'll send you to the office. Don't worry, it wouldn't affect the meeting. The meeting is important, but a few minutes of delay is acceptable."

Sonia knew that he was adamant about sending her, or else he wouldn't have insisted on doing so after her repeated rejections.

Thus, she didn't want to turn him down again and instead nodded in agreement. "Sure, since you have said so."

When Toby heard that, he caressed the back of her palm and led her toward his office.

Seeing them arriving at the chairman's office, Tom then politely opened the door for them.

Then, Toby walked into the office while holding Sonia's hand. Tom did not enter the office, but he instead walked to the pantry next door.

The moment they were in the office, Toby released Sonia's hand and gestured to the couch. "Wait for me here. You can watch television or play games. If you feel like doing neither, I have a large collection of books on the bookshelf behind the table. You can also sleep in my resting room if you prefer. The meeting later would last for at least a few hours and it would be better for you to take a nap instead of doing nothing."

While speaking, he pointed in the direction of his resting room.

Sonia looked at the direction of his finger and nodded. "I know. Just attend your meeting and don't worry about me. I'm already a grown-up and no longer a child. I will look for something to occupy my time. Arranging everything for me would only make me feel like I'm just a child or even a guest as I can only do what you've said and nothing else."

Guest? This word of hers made Toby frown. "You’re not a guest. You're my lover and this is my place, which makes it yours too. So, you can do anything you want. I won't arrange anything for you anymore."

"That's good to hear. At least I have some freedom now," she replied while stretching her arms.

He smiled lightly and was about to say something when Tom entered the room holding a tray that had a pot of black tea and an exquisite-looking red velvet mousse cake on it.

"President Fuller, I brought over a pot of tea and a snack for Miss Reed," Tom elaborated while walking toward the both of them.

Seeing this, Toby nodded in satisfaction. "I was about to instruct you to prepare a pot of tea. It's good that you did so even before I said anything."

Tom smiled after hearing Toby's compliment. "This is my job. Furthermore, these were originally instructed by you with Miss Reed in mind."

"For me?" Surprised by what she had heard, Sonia pointed at her own nose and asked.

"Yes, Miss Reed," Tom answered while nodding.

She looked at the tray in his hands, then at Toby, before she asked, "It was a sudden decision of mine to come and I didn't see you giving any instructions for this during our way here. How did you manage to prepare all this beforehand?"

Of course these must have all been prepared earlier, she thought.

After all, Tom had returned with them at the same time whereupon he brought the pot of tea and the cake moments later.

So, she was certain that they had been prepared earlier.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been this quick even if Tom had bought slightly after her arrival.

And, most importantly, Toby wasn't someone who enjoyed black tea and dessert.

Toby appeared to be somewhat awkward when he saw a confused Sonia and let out a light cough. "I've been instructing Tom to prepare these for a long time."

"What do you mean?” Sonia suspected that she understood what he meant while also feeling that her doubts were not answered.
