Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 42

Due to the aftermath of her binge drinking, Sonia woke up in the morning with a slight headache and massaged her temples while leaning against the headboard. As she did so, her blanket slid off her body and she could feel the cold air on her skin. She lowered her head and realized that she was merely clad in a camisole. What’s going on?!

She was about to fling the blanket off her to get off from bed when she caught sight of a man next to her pillow from the corner of her eyes; he was currently topless and sound asleep. The hair on his forehead was slightly tousled and he had handsome facial features. At that moment, her eyes widened in disbelief to the point where she was completely speechless. She had recalled that she was drinking excessively the previous night to the point where she was tipsy, but she somehow remembered hearing Toby’s inaudible voice in the background. Did I simply grab a guy off the streets and sleep with him after being so triggeredlast night?

As soon as she realized that she’d slept with a random guy, she couldn’t even bear to cast another look at the guy next to her. Then, she collected her clothes from the chair and dressed up. She was just about to get some money from her purse when she realized that her bag was nowhere to be found despite her searching high and low for it.

Sonia grabbed hold of a notepad and was about to leave her phone number on it when she realized that there was already a string of numbers on it. Perhaps that guy must have left his number because he was worried that I would flee the scene if I woke up earlier. Subsequently, she tore off that particular piece of paper on the notepad and left in a hurry.

About half an hour later, Sonia caught a cab to work after she freshened up with a shower at home. However, she still hadn’t fully regained her composure as she was experiencing the shocking after-effects from her fling last night.

“President Reed’s here!”

Sonia had just alighted from the cab and she didn’t even manage to steady herself when a bunch of reporters rushed toward her from all corners to surround her. There were multiple flashes of light directed at her face.

“President Reed, who’s the man in the audio recording?”

“That voice doesn’t sound like that model, Carl!

Could you provide an explanation?!”

“President Reed, are you here to work at Paradigm Co. or to exploit your identity as the

vice-president to pursue other guys?!”

Sonia was speechless as the stinging questions from the reporters were aimed at her like repeated explosions.

Although she was unaware of the audio recording that the reporters referred to, she quickly regained full composure and hid every sign of abnormality from them. At the same time, she shoved her way through the crowd in an attempt to leave the place.

“Excuse me, please give way.”

“President Reed, why are you evading our questions? Do you have a guilty conscience?” One of the reporters interrogated, “It’s been speculated that you and President Fuller had a divorce because of the indiscretions of your private life.”

“GAY”

It was after a moment of silence that Charles forced his way through the crowd and wrapped his arms around Sonia in a protective stance before he rebuked, “You mentioned that it’s a speculation, so how can that be true?! I've heard rumors that you prefer the same gender, is that so?!”

Upon hearing Charles’ rebuttal, the reporter’s face turned ashen.

Meanwhile, Charles rolled his eyes at them before he pushed aside all the microphones thrust in front of him while replying, “That male voice in the recording was mine. If you don’t believe my words, feel free to get a comparison done on my voice to determine the truth.”

“Sonia is my girlfriend and we’re currently in a relationship; she wanted to keep a low profile and refused to reveal our relationship in public. As for your mention of her being in a relationship with Carl, that’s utter rubbish! We’re close friends with Carl, so what’s wrong with having a dinner date with a friend?!”

“Furthermore, my girlfriend and President Fuller have amicably ended their marriage. As for infidelity...” Charlies snorted with laughter. “Why don’t you guys ask President Fuller what he means by showing so much concern to another woman at the hospital every single day before he is legally married to her?”

“Well, that’s all. I’ve said everything I have to say, so please leave!” He shoved the reporters aside and pushed his way out of the circle.
