Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 804

More than 36 hours had elapsed since last night.

If Toby did not rest during the day and kept on working, it would mean that he hadn't closed his eyes for 36 consecutive hours.

How could his body bear the burden if it went on like this?

But she couldn't do much more than worry, for it wasn't possible for her to just stop Toby from working and get him to rest.

Sonia sighed as she rubbed her cheeks. Noticing that the traffic was moving, she suppressed her emotions and shifted gears so that the car could move.

The drive became much smoother once Sonia got through the traffic jam, and she didn't have to stop her car after that except for the occasional red light.

However, when Sonia was about six miles away from Bayside Residence, she parked the car and walked toward a rustic shop by the road.

It was a cake shop that sold traditional cakes, and the business had been passed down from the last era. With more than 100 years of history, this shop could be considered a tourist attraction in Seafield.

Most importantly, the cakes sold at this shop were all delicious, and many customers flocked to this shop every single day.

There were still a number of customers in the shop even at such an odd hour.

Sonia opened the door and walked into the shop before heading straight to the register. She then asked the shop assistant, "Hi, are there any blueberry cakes left?"

She wasn't sure if there were any left, for blueberry cakes were one of the shop's specialities. However, since it wasn't as popular as the other goods sold there, the shop only baked a limited number of blueberry cakes per day. Only a hundred were made each day, so once these cakes sold out, one would have to come back another day.

Meanwhile, Sonia was one of the few people who loved blueberry cake.

In fact, she had loved it since young, and her father even wondered where she got her preferences from.

However, as she grew up, she no longer ate them as frequently as before. She would only have an occasional slice every now and then.

"You're lucky, Miss—we have exactly one serving left." Upon hearing Sonia's question, the shop assistant immediately checked their inventory and responded with a smile.

Sonia smiled as well. "Wow, the last one! I guess I'm quite lucky after all. I'll take it, please."

"Alright, one blueberry cake it is.

Hang on." Smiling, the shop assistant sent the order to the shop assistant who was in charge of packing it up. However, the packing process was rather slow since there were many customers in front of her.

Sonia wasn't in a hurry, so she sat in an empty seat while she waited.

On a small table next to the seat, they shop had laid out a complimentary jug of water and some cups.

After taking a cup of water, Sonia sipped as she took out her phone and sent Toby a message. 'Are you still working?'

She thought that Toby wouldn't reply for some time, but when she was about to put her phone away, the screen lit up with a message from Toby. 'I'm wrapping up soon. Why aren't you asleep yet?'

Sonia put down the cup as her red lips curved into a smile. She seemed to be in high spirits, and even her typing speed increased. 'No, I'm still outside.

I haven't gone home yet.'

Toby had just walked out of the Planning Department and was making his way toward his office. He stopped in his tracks and frowned.

Due to Toby's sudden halt, Tom, who had been walking behind him, almost bumped into the man.

After steadying himself, Tom hastily took a step backward and pushed his glasses back up while asking, "What's the matter, President Fuller?"
