Chapter 957
From the look of things, Sonia could guess what kind ofpliments Toby had said. It must''ve been
something extremely cheesy, or he wouldn''t have had such a big reaction.
Yes, even Sophia could tell that this man was shy. Having been together with Toby for so long, there
was no way Sonia couldn''t figure it out. As a guy, he was extremely thick-skinned, and even when
he uttered obscenities, she had never seen him make such a look. Hence, she really wanted to
know how sappily he had described her to make him, who was usually thick-skinned, being this shy.
However, he made it clear that he would not say anything, and even when Sonia stared at him
intently, he would not turn around, as if afraid that as soon as he did, he would be captured by her
and forced to tell her.
Seeing that the man refused to turn around and face her no matter what, Sonia knew that it was
impossible to make him speak. Left with no other choice, she could only look to Sophia helplessly.
Seeing through her troubled thoughts, Sophia smiled and patted her on the shoulder, telling her not
to worry. Then, she beckoned to her assistant and said a few words to her in Pierian.
As Sophia talked to her assistant, Sonia did not ignore the man beside her. She could clearly see
the slight change in his expression, as if he was nervous. What’s he nervous about?
Just as she was wondering, Sophia''s assistant said, "Miss Reed, Ms. Sophia asked me to trante
for you."
Sophia''s assistant was a local. Hence, although she mostly stayed abroad, she was still well versed
in the localnguage and could speak fluently.
When Sonia heard that she was going to rece Toby as her trantor, Sonia''s eyes lit up and she
quickly smiled gratefully. "That’s great, thank you."
The assistant shook her head. "No problem."
After saying her pleasantries, the assistant began to trante Sophia''s previous words.
As she listened to the sappypliments, Sonia was so embarrassed that she felt goosebumps
rising all over her body because Toby''s praise for her was almost a culmination of all the praises in
the world. She had no idea that these words and phrases could even be used to describe her. She
didn''t even know that she was such a wonderful person!
In short, he was talking about apletely different person, and it didn''t sound like her at all.
Besides, he used so many beautiful adjectives to describe her. Didn''t he feel a prick on his
conscience as he was saying all of this that time? Either way, she felt flustered.
As Sonia turned to look at Toby and the increasingly reddening tips of his ears, she parted her red
lips and asked, "Are... Are you sure you''re not lying to Ms. Sophia? How am I as wonderful as
you''ve described me? Everything you said is clearly not
about me."
Although she was indeed very happy that he could describe her that way, she still felt incredibly
awkward.
"I didn''t lie to her!" Toby finally turned his head around, his gaze turning serious as he looked at her.
Beside them, the assistant was tranting their conversation to Sophia. However, at that moment,
Sonia and Toby only had eyes for each other and didn''t care about anyone else.
"How are you not lying to her? You sure you''re talking about me?" Sonia rolled her eyes, her face
turning red.
No, she couldn''t think too much about what he told Sophia. Every time she recalled his words, she
was so embarrassed that she felt like digging a hole to hide into.
"Yes." Hearing Sonia''s words, Toby nodded without any hesitation.

The corners of Sonia''s lips twitched. "How is it about me? It doesn''t fit me at all."
"I know, but in my heart, that''s the way you are. To me, you''re the most wonderful person in the
world, and you''re worthy of all the beautiful phrases that have ever existed," Toby said sincerely as
he gazed at her.
Sonia''s face immediately flushed even redder. "You..."
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Sophia who was opposite them. Sophia looked at
her with a smile. "Miss Reed, you''re using President Fuller. Even if his description of you doesn''t
fit you, to him, he thinks that you''re exactly the kind of person he had described. Isn''t there a saying
that goes ''Beauty is in the eye of the beholder''? No matter what, the person you love will always be
the most perfect being to you. Miss Reed, I believe that you think of
President Fuller in the same way, right?"
As soon as she said that, Sonia was immediately rendered speechless. She looked at Toby, as if
asking him if Sophia was telling the truth, and he nodded, indicating that this was the case. In his
heart, she was the perfect existence. Because of this, Sonia became even more abashed. Even if it
was true that beauty was in the eye of the beholder, wasn''t he a little too much? Still, it was
inexplicably sweet of him.
"Miss Reed, do you want to know what else I said to President Fuller?" Sophia asked again with a
smile.
Next to her, her assistant tranted her words dutifully.
Sonia looked at Toby, then at Sophia, before she nodded profusely, expressing her desire to know.
She had been curious since earlier.
Sophia didn''t beat around the bush either, and soon told her about the conversation she had just
had with Toby. Based on her assistant''s trantion, Toby said that Sonia was his orbit, the light of
his life. Instantly, Sonia flushed red, and her heart raced. Could he be any cheesier? She nced in
yful disdain at the man next to her, and he coughed softly before turning away again.
Sophia smiled and said, "I''ve known President Fuller for some years, and he''s always been cold
every time I met him. This is the first time I''ve seen President Fuller being so open with his feelings
and expression. Miss Reed, this is all thanks to you."
"Thanks to me?" Sonia was slightly taken aback.
Sophia nodded. "Yes. Most of the time, most cold-hearted people arepletely oblivious to love
before they experience it. But once they find the person they love, they''ll be more and more
personable. That''s the reason why I said that it’s thanks to you that President Fuller has be so
personable now, Miss Reed."
Sonia yed with her hair a little bashfully. "Ms. Sophia, you''re praising me too much. I didn''t really
do anything."
"You don''t need to. Your existence itself is enough for President Fuller. He''ll naturally change on his
own as long as you''re there," Sophia said with a smile.
Sonia became even more self-conscious and didn''t reply. She was afraid that if she continued, she
would turn into a legendary figure.
Seeing her embarrassment, Toby pursed his lips and coughed, then looked at Sophia and said,
"Okay, enough talking about this. Let''s get down to business. Sophia, where''s the dress?"
"It''s here." Sophia immediately lifted the bag in her hand and handed it to Sonia. "Miss Reed, this is
the dress that President Fuller asked me to design for you. Please have a look to see if you''re
happy with it or not."
"All right." Sonia epted the bag with both hands. Then, she nced at Toby after recalling
something.
"Where''s your suit?"
Before Toby could answer, Sophia spoke up. "President Fuller''s suit has not beenpleted yet,
and there''s still a little work that needs to be done, so you should try yours on first to see if there is
anything that needs to be modified, Miss Reed. After all, dresses are moreplicated to modify
than men''s suits, so I chose to work on your dress first."
"I see." Sonia nodded in realization and said nothing more. After sitting down, she opened the bag
and took out the gift box containing the dress from inside.
The gift box wasn''t tied with a ribbon, so Sonia easily opened the lid, revealing the fiery red dress
inside.
The dress was a beautiful vintage Hepburn spaghetti dress with a wide V-neck and a slim-fitting A-
line skirt that was decorated with ruffles below, giving off a sense of yful sexiness to the viewer.
She liked it at first nce.
