Chapter 842


    Anya''s expression became even uglier.


    They were just making things difficult on purpose if it took spending over a hundred million with


    them to be a VIP client!


    Even when she used to... be richer, she never spent over a hundred million in this boutique, what


    more in her current situation.


    When the sales assistant noticed Anya''s silence and unnatural expression, she narrowed her eyes


    and quickly put on a smile. "Even without the VIP membership, there is still one possible solution. If


    you can prove your financial standing by having at least a nine-digit bnce in your bank ount,


    then you can also put in an order for a custom made dress."


    Anya gave her a wide-eyed stare. "Nine digits?"


    Was that not the same as having over a hundred million? How was it any different from having to


    spend a hundred million with them?


    "Yes, that''s right." The sales assistant was still smiling as she nodded. "So, can you prove that you


    have such means, miss?"


    Anya stared at the smile on the sales assistant''s face and felt terribly insulted. If she had that much


    in her bank ount, she would already have a VIP membership.


    This sales assistant was humiliating her on purpose!


    It was obvious that Anya did not have such financial means, and she did not believe that the sales


    assistant was unable to make that deduction. And yet the sales assistant still asked her such a


    question, which made it clear that sales assistant was mocking her.


    Anya clenched the armrests on her wheelchair. She exerted so much force that her veins on her


    arm were more pronounced than usual.


    In the private resting area behind her, Sonia had also heard how Anya had been humiliated by the


    sales assistant, and she could not resistughing.


    On one hand, Sonia did think that the sales assistant had been rather impolite, but on the other


    hand, the person on the receiving end was someone she hated, so naturally she had no qualms


    with what the sales assistant did.

    If Anya had not been full of malicious schemes, then Sonia might have put in a good word for her


    out of consideration for being acquaintances. But she would not do it for Anya. Such a shameless


    person deserved to be taught a lesson by society.


    Sonia smirked and lightly shook her head. She picked up a fashion magazine and slowly flipped


    through the pages.


    Still, she could hear scuffles sounding out behind her. Sonia overheard some of the conversation


    and knew that it was Anya who was lecturing the sales assistant for treating her in that manner.


    However, the sales assistant was not a pushover. She used the politest tone possible and easily


    turned Anya''s words right back at her.


    Sonia was starting to feel rather entertained. It was a kind of enjoyment to be sitting there browsing


    through her magazine while theedic drama went on behind her. Her smile deepened as she


    took a sip from the coffee that another sales assistant had just delivered to her.


    Suddenly, her phone, which had been left on the coffee table in front of her, started vibrating. Sonia


    set her coffee down and checked the notification. When she saw a text message from Toby, she


    raised her brows unexpectedly.


    Why is he messaging me now? Isn''t he busy?


    Sonia was a little puzzled, but she quickly unlocked her phone and scrolled through the messages.


    When she saw what Toby sent, she did not know how to react at all.


    Toby was asking her if she felt any difort or pain in her tummy.


    He was probably worried all along about how the spicy food would affect her digestive system. She


    had to give him credit for worrying about it all this time.


    Sonia had a helpless smile on her face, but deep down inside her, she felt very moved by Toby''s


    concern. Only someone who truly cared about her would ask her this question. Otherwise, who


    would be concerned if she felt any difort after eating spicy food?


    Sonia''s expression was warm as she typed out her response. I''m fine, no difort at all. You


    don’t have to worry.''


    Meanwhile, when Toby saw the reply from Sonia, his furrowed brows were finally released.


    It was just as Sonia suspected. Toby had been worried all this time about how the spicy food at


    lunch would affect her stomach. That was why even in the midst of a busy day, he took the time to


    send her a message and ask her about it. Once Toby confirmed that she was fine, his heart could


    finally settle down again.


    "President Fuller, the ne has arrived, so we''ll take our leave now." Just as Toby was about to


    respond to Sonia''s message, a few men in suits walked over with their luggage. One look was


    enough to tell that they were respectable men of society. All of them crowded over and respectfully


    bid their goodbyes to Toby.


    They were all part of the management teams for Fuller Group''s subsidiaries overseas.


    Toby had gone to the airport to make arrangements for them to head overseas on his private jet. As


    their boss, Toby wanted to show his appreciation for these men, who were working overseas for the


    company and could only return to the country once every few years.


    This was one of the ways Toby proved to them that he valued their sacrifice and did not take them


    for granted. Toby was a worthy boss who knew how to win the hearts of his workers in order for


    them to willingly work hard for hispany.


    Toby set aside his phone and nodded toward the men. "Alright, travel safe. If anything happens


    overseas, then give Tom a call. He will get the message to me immediately."


    "Yes, President Fuller." All of them quickly acknowledged Toby before heading off toward the


    airport''s VIP passage.


    Toby remained standing there to send them off. Once they were out of sight, he and Tom then made


    their way back out to the parking lot.


    Atst, when Toby got in the car, he recalled that he forgot to respond to Sonia’s message. He


    pulled out his phone and swiftly typed out a message. ''I''m sorry, I was sending off a few of my men


    at the airport and could not respond in time.''


    Back when he stopped replying, Sonia assumed that he would not be responding anytime soon, so


    she was focused on the amusing drama behind her. However, she did not expect her phone to


    vibrate once more.


    When Sonia saw Toby''s apology, she gave another helplessugh before replying to him. I know


    you''re busy, so I won''t be angry if you don''t respond. You don''t have to worry about it. Have they left


    the country already?''


    Toby had a smile on his face as he sent his response. "Yes, they have just boarded the ne, and


    I''m heading back to the office now. There''s still work to be done."


    "He works so hard," Sonia sighed as shemented to herself. She continued to type out a


    message to him. ''Drive safe. I''m not in the office either.’


    Toby narrowed his eyes when he saw that she was not in the office. ''What are you doing outside?''


    Sonia took another sip of coffee before replying. ''My gown has arrived, so I came to the shop for a


    fitting.''


    Toby pursed his lips. I told you that you should leave your outfit to me and let me make all the


    necessary arrangements. I was going to get the designer toe right to your doorstep and take


    your measurements for you, but you rejected my offer.''


    Sonia chuckled when she read his message. She could sense the petnce in his words.


    When she and Toby first received the invites, Toby had immediately requested that she be his


    companion to the event. They had already gotten back together by then, so she had no reason to


    decline. Toby happily started making the arrangements for her gown. But even so, she still rejected


    his offer.


    Sonia''s reasoning was still the same. She did not want to rely on Toby for things that she could


    handle by herself.


    Toby was unable to convince her, so he had to leave it be. However, despite him never mentioning it


    again, Sonia knew that he was affected by her choice. In his mind, he believed that declining his


    help and refusing to rely on him were all signs that she did not fully ept him yet.


    But that was not the case for Sonia.


    She just did not want to be reliant on him. She worried that if she did, then she would lose herself in


    the process. She did not want to be a flower that was kept inside a greenhouse and could not


    survive the elements without it. If she grew to rely on him too much, then she would one day lose


    her ability to live on her own.


    She was a rational woman who had her own dreams and ambitions in life. She would never allow


    herself to be reliant on someone else. That was why she kept refusing to ept


    Toby''s well-meaning offers to help her.


    After thinking about it at length, Sonia massaged her forehead and chuckled as she began shaking


    her head. It was time for her to start coaxing this man again.


    Sonia swiftly tapped out her response. ''Okay, don''t be angry. Why don’t I let you handle my wedding


    dress?''


    After she sent the message, her face began to flush.


    It was the first time she brought up the topic of marriage since they had gotten back together. This


    was also her way of making it clear that she did want to marry him.


    Sonia thought about Toby''s reaction once he saw this message. He would most likely not feel upset


    anymore, right?
