Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 733

“No.” He put his forehead against hers and gave her a serious look. “You have to trust me, and you have to say it, so let me hear it. I can’t rest easy if I don’t hear it, so you have to say it.”

Sonia resigned, so she said, “Fine, fine. I’ll say it, alright? I trust you. There, happy?”

Toby smiled happily.

Amused, Sonia pinched his face. “Why are you acting like a child?” “Only to you.” He puffed his chest out.

Sonia was amused. “And you seem proud about it.”

“Why not?” He looked up with pride. “That’s a compliment to me.”

She shook her head. “I’m not complimenting you, though I won’t say anything if you want to take it that way.”

“Then I will take it that way.” He sipped some coffee, then he recalled something. “Oh, right. About the machines from Kosovo. You told the factory workers to assemble the first batch already, right?” “Yes. They’re done, and it’s great.”

“Did you find a seller?” he asked again.

Sonia nodded. “Of course. I called them before the machines came. I'm not the newbie president anymore, you know. I arrange stuff beforehand so I won’t fumble at the last moment.”

“Not bad,” he praised.

Sonia smiled as well.

“So, which company did you partner with?” Toby put his coffee down and looked at her.

“Excellence Co.,” she answered.

Toby nodded. “Not bad. A century of good reputation. You have a great eye for this.”

Sonia smiled. “Not me, but my dad. He worked with Excellence Co. a lot when he was still alive. The company’s leader is my father’s friend, so we’re working well together.”

Toby grunted. “Excellence Co. just opened a new mall, and they’re going to start business at the end of this month. Did they give you an invitation?” He would bring her there if she had no invitation. I heard Excellence Co. just hired some experts in heavy industry. I can introduce them to her as it's her company’s main business.

Once it gets listed again, some changes must be made, and expert opinions are needed for that.

Sonia didn’t know Toby was planning for her. She went to her desk and took out a purple invitation from her drawer. “Guess what this is?”

Toby arched his eyebrow. “So you got it already. Not bad.”

She put the invitation back. “I just got it yesterday. I was about to tell you, but I forgot. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have thought about it.”

“Come with me then.” He looked at her invitation. “As my lover.”

Sonia went over to him. “Sure.” Since they were dating again, she wouldn’t say no to attending events together.
