Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 111

Sonia laughed. “Isn’t that true?”

For Tina, he will go to the extreme. Even a cry from Tina would send him crazy as he might even give up his life for her sake.

Toby gazed into the iciness of Sonia’s eyes that was exceptionally jarring to him. Ah, so this is how she perceives me.

With a grim expression, he slipped a hand into his pocket and stood up. “Ladies and gentlemen, regarding the concern that Vice President Reed raised, I could confidently promise you that the partnership will be a fair assessment without any favoritism. Please do not worry about it.”

“Since President Fuller has given his promise, we are now assured.” A chorus of laughter broke out among the other attendees, dissipating the confrontational atmosphere.

Only Titus forced a smile and kept quiet as he wallowed in regret. After a couple of confrontations, he should have known better— Sonia was not a weakling. Despite that, he couldn’t help but recklessly go head-to-head with her to the point where he shot himself on the foot.

“I appreciate the trust you have placed in me. With that, I announce that our meeting has ended. Please head back and start preparing for the plan.”

Upon saying that, Toby rose to his full height and left the room with Tom.

Once they were both gone, everyone else followed suit and spilled out of the room. Titus was the last one to exit. When he passed by Sonia, he halted and hissed at her, “Young lady, you better not be full of yourself.” “Of course not! I can’t be too gleeful when you are still standing.” She turned around and flashed a smile at him—an act that sent him into a daze again. The resemblance is extremely striking. Why is Sonia’s smile a carbon copy of Mom when she was younger?

“President Gray?” Sonia noticed that Titus had gone blank and she raised a brow suspiciously. What’s wrong with him?

Her voice pulled him back to reality. An uneasy look flashed across his eyes as he coughed slightly and warned in a steeled voice, “That is if you have the capability to defeat me! Hmph\"

Once Titus left, Sonia was finally alone in the room. She took her time to gather her stuff and prepare to return to the office. Her cell suddenly buzzed at this moment. She placed all her stuff on the table and took out the phone to answer, “Hello?”

“Sonia, has the meeting ended?” Charles’s flirtatious voice was heard from the other end.

She nodded. “Yes.”

“How was it? Did you get a seat in the partnership?” He sounded anxious.

With a bitter smile, Sonia shook her head. “It is not going to be that simple. There were twenty attendees and only five will be chosen as business partners. The organizer gave us a test that requires us to come up with a plan, which will determine our placement in the competition for the five coveted seats.”

“That sounds fair.” Charles nodded in agreement.

Sonia rubbed her forehead in exhaustion. “I’m quite frustrated right now because I don’t know how to draft the plan, though! Look, I have never been involved in the energy sector and I am clueless when it comes to professional jargon! Where do I even start?”

At the same time, Toby overheard her confession outside the meeting room and stopped himself from pushing open the door. Behind him, Tom spoke, “Pres—”

Before Tom could even utter a word, Toby shushed him. Tom quietly complied and held his tongue.

On the phone, Charles chuckled, “What’s the problem? Send the materials to the Planning Department. Aren’t they hired specifically to deal with this?”

“No, I can’t.” Sonia lamented as she shook her head, “I don’t even know how many moles Asher has planted in the company. Do you believe that he’d sabotage the plan if I request for someone else to draft it? He doesn’t want me to win the competition, which means I have no choice but to draft the plan myself.”

“You’re right. How about we draft the plan together? Even though I don’t have experience in the energy sector, two heads are still better than one.” He scratched his head and offered help.

She grunted and answered, “Sure. I’ll hang up now. I still need to visit the hospital later.”

“Okay.” He nodded.

Behind the door, Toby turned around and said, Let s go.

“President Fuller, do you still want to collect your stuff from the room?” Tom checked with him.
