Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 948

Thanks to the difference in their status, he dared not blow up in front of this guy, nor could he afford to do so. "Sonia, President Fuller, since we're clocking out at the same time, you don't mind me taking the same elevator, right? he asked. Despite his question, he entered the elevator right away without waiting for Sonia and Toby's reply.

As soon as he entered, the elevator door slowly closed. Now it was too late to say they minded him taking the elevator and to ask him to get out.

Toby looked as black as thunder.

Sonia didn't look very pleased either, but she said nothing. After all, this elevator wasn't hers alone. It was for exclusive use by senior management, so Asher had the right to use it. It's not the end of the world. I'll just put up with it.

It was so quiet inside the elevator that only the sounds of shallow breathing and the elevator operating could be heard. For a time, Asher sensed some pressure.

Of course, the pressure wasn't coming from Sonia. Although she had been running the company for nearly half a year, she was still young, after all. In terms of vigor, she was far from being a match for Asher, who had been in business for decades. Therefore, there was no way Sonia could put pressure on him; only the reverse was possible.

There are only the three of us in the elevator. Since Sonia can’t put pressure on me, the only one who can do so is none other than Toby. At the thought of this, Asher turned slightly to glance at Toby, who was standing next to Sonia while putting his arm around her waist in a protective posture. Inwardly, he sighed with feeling. This guy is young, but the commanding aura that's emanating from him overpowers me, an old man who has been a businessman for decades. How can old people like us stand this?

Just as he was thinking, Toby suddenly turned his gaze to him with cold, expressionless eyes. "What are you looking at?"

Seeing the look in his eyes, Asher shuddered all over, and his face paled somewhat. However, as a sly old fox, he composed himself and concealed his fears soon afterward. He replied with a forced smile, "I’m just looking at how lovey-dovey you and Sonia still are. You two are such an object of envy on the internet today."

"A wonderful relationship is supposed to be envied," Toby replied while withdrawing his gaze impassively.

Sonia smiled without saying a word.

Asher lowered his eyes. "You're right, President Fuller. But no matter how you put it, I'm considered a family friend of Sonia. Her father and I had been friends for many years. Now that her father has passed away, it's only natural that as his friends, we should look after her on his behalf."

Toby frowned. "So? What are you trying to say?"

Sonia also looked at Asher without concealing the sarcasm in her eyes. This guy is really funny. When he fights for power and money, he wishes I could die so that he could scramble for what I have. Whenever he sees me, he's never nice to me. He never respected my position as chairman of the company, let alone treated me as his family friend for real, she thought. If it weren't for Asher's early contributions to Paradigm Co. as well as his age, she wouldn't have put up with his attitude. Instead, she would've let him know what it meant to be respectful toward the company's chairman. Right now, however, because of Toby's presence, he shamelessly assumed an air of seniority and called himself a family friend, saying as kindly as he could that he would look after her. If she hadn't known that he was pretending, she'd probably have been fooled by him. Well, he's quite a good actor, after all.
