Chapter 1242 My Lady

“Not yet.” Sonia glanced in the direction of the washroom. “Toby’s still getting changed and we’re planning to head over at 7.00PM. The event only starts at 8.00PM, so there’s no rush,” she explained.

Grace heaved a sigh of relief before saying, “I’m glad you guys haven’t left. I was worried that the Acrees might attempt to sabotage you and I was afraid that you would head out unprepared for any attacks. Perhaps I was just overthinking the situation.”

Sonia felt a surge of warmth in her chest when she heard the concern in Grace’s tone. The smile on Sonia’s face softened as she spoke. “Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Lane. Don’t worry about it. I’ll let Toby know about this and we won’t allow the Acrees to harm us in any way.” Sonia would be ashamed if the Acrees managed to trick them again—the public would probably fault her for not being able to keep an eye on her own man.

“That’s great.” Grace nodded. “Well, you guys will just have to be a little more cautious. Don’t let them get to you! Toby, in particular, will have to be really careful. The Acrees are targeting him and might attempt to trick him into sleeping with someone else tonight just to achieve their own goals. You guys will have to pay attention to everything that you guys eat and drink tonight. As reputable as you may be, you might still fall victim to some of these people’s little schemes. You have to always be alert,” Grace stated.

“Okay. Don’t worry, Mrs. Lane. We understand,” Sonia said with a smile. “By the way, Mrs. Lane, will you guys be joining the event?”

Grace shook her head. “Curtis received an invitation, but the Lane Family isn’t involved in this line of business and there isn’t much purpose in us attending the event. So, Curtis decided that he’d rather come home for dinner with the family than attend the event,” Grace explained. At the same time, Sonia noticed how Toby had put on his suit and walked out of the washroom. Her eyes lit up as she stared at the man in front of her. “That’s good. Mr. Lane sounds like a family man,” Sonia chimed in.

“Yeah. I’m quite happy about it. That’s how Curtis has always been—he rarely shows up to events that aren’t related to the company. I’m glad he’s the way he is,” Grace said with a soft chuckle. “By the way, Sonia,” Grace continued as she seemed to recall something. “Did you guys try the delicacies that Charles passed to you guys that day? How did it taste?” she asked.

Thank you,

I say about thanking me…” Both of them giggled and chatted for a while longer before they ended the call. Toby stuffed a red necktie into Sonia’s hands the moment she put her phone down. “Was that Mrs. Lane?” he asked. He overheard Rose talking about the good food and how she wanted to thank Grace for it. So, Toby figured that Grace was probably the one

already hanging from his neck. The man was too tall—it was tiring for Sonia to tie a tie for him even though she was in her heels. When Toby noticed her struggling, he lowered himself into a squat so that it

told him all about what Grace had mentioned in the call earlier. Toby narrowed his eyes as he listened to Sonia’s words. There was a sharp glint of hatred in his eyes as he spoke. “I got it. You can thank Mrs. Lane on my behalf. I’ll make sure nothing happens tonight,” he murmured as he stroked Sonia’s

suit, Sonia dusted her hands to signal that she was done. “What do you think of the tie?” she asked as she took a step back and glanced at the makeup artists surrounding them. They all nodded in approval. “You did a good job, Miss Reed.” They weren’t just saying things
