Chapter 959


    Chapter 959 Ruby Ne


    However, seeing as how happy Sophia was, Sophia chose to keep quiet. Fine, I’ll give Toby the credit


    this time, she thought.


    “Oh right, my dear, since you’re so gorgeous, we can’t just keep it to ourselves. The person who truly


    appreciates your beauty is still waiting outside. Come now, let’s go over there and show you off to


    President Fuller.” Saying that, Sophia excitedly dragged Sonia over to Toby.


    Toby, who was looking down at his phone, locked his phone upon hearing the footsteps. However, the


    moment he saw that person in red, he felt time stood still with his surroundings blurred. At this moment,


    only one person was in his vision.


    In Toby’s eyes, everything had vanished around him, leaving only the person in red before him. At this


    moment, here and now, his eyes were only on that person to the extent that he could no longer


    perceive the surrounding noises, as he could only hear one particr sound. That sound came from


    that person with beautiful long hair as she lightly jogged over to him in her crystal high heels with a


    Duchenne smile on her face.


    It was at this very moment that Toby was enlightened to what was the most beautiful scenery in the


    entire world. The most beautiful scenery in the world was neither the product of nature nor was it an


    incredible man-made creation, but it was the very image of one’s most beloved running toward one with


    a smile on their face.


    Toby threw his phone to the side before he stood up and stepped away from the sofa with his arms


    opened wide, and went to embrace the iing woman.


    Sonia, on the other hand, froze and was unable to react, as she had only intended to stop right in front


    of Toby to ask him how she looked. In the end, he gave no opening to her, as before she even reached


    Toby, Toby himself came to her and had her in his embrace instantly.


    It was so unexpected that even Sophia, who was beside Sonia, could only stare dumbfoundedly at the


    couple locked in an embrace. Right now, only the assistant on the side was full of excitement, as she


    held her breath while wearing a satisfied smile, albeit with some feelings of regret. Her regret stemmed


    from the fact that she hadn’t the courage to take her phone out to get a picture of this embrace to share


    with her fellow shippers.


    Although the assistant was a long-time shipper of the two, it was not easy for her to finally savor the


    sight of the ones she had shipped being all lovey-dovey, yet she could not share such a beautiful scene


    with her fellow shippers. Ah, who could understand this pain of mine, she thought.


    Minutes passed before Sonia gently pushed Toby away. Tilting her head to look at Toby, she was about


    to ask him what was wrong with him, and about the sudden embrace.


    However, Toby was the first to speak up. “Gorgeous!”


    Sonia immediately blushed while her heart started palpitating. Prior to this, Sonia had only blushed at


    Sophia and the others’pliments without having her heart beating fast. Yet, her heart palpitated


    upon Toby’spliment. Truly, this was the difference between receiving apliment from a friend


    and a lover. A lover’spliment, aspared to a friend’s, truly had the ability to influence the


    receiver’s mood.


    “Do I really look good?” Sonia spread her arms out slightly while looking at the man before her.


    The man nodded before he grabbed one of her arms and dragged her away.


    “What are you doing?” she asked in confusion, but still obediently followed his pace.


    Toby remained silent and only stopped right in front of a mirror. The mirror in front of them was a floor-


    to-ceiling mirror that reflected the entire body of the viewer from head to toe.


    Looking at the reflections in the mirror, Sonia turned her head toward him with slight confusion. “Why


    did you bring me here?”


    Toby gently held her chin and turned her head back to the mirror. “Look, look just how beautiful you are


    in that mirror.”


    With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Sonia asked, “So, you brought me all the way here just


    to let me look at the mirror?”


    “Yes.” Toby raised his head while admitting the reason for bringing her here. “I only wished to show you


    just how beautiful you are, and how fitting the dress looks on you.” His lips were almost touching her


    ear when he said this.


    The warm breath he exhaled went straight into Sonia’s ear and gave her a sense of tingling. As a


    result, she couldn’t help but curl her neck up.


    “What’s wrong?” Toby asked as though he knew not the cause of her action, and he looked at the tip of


    Sonia’s reddened ear with drooping eyes.


    Sonia rubbed the tip of her ear before she replied in a slightly soft voice, “Nothing.”


    Seeing that she was reluctant to speak further, Toby was happy, as he could continue to cling to her


    much more openly. “Look, don’t you think you’re beautiful?” Toby said with his fingers on her chin.


    Sonia then took a good look in the mirror. Although she had done neither the matching hairstyle nor the


    matching makeup with the dress she was wearing, the dress was so beautiful to the extent that it’d still


    make the wearer look good without doing anything extra. Here, one would remember the saying: ‘the


    clothes made the man.’ However, much more important than the dress, Sonia herself was a beauty, as


    her delicate looks suited well with the bright red dress. Such abination would naturally shock all


    those whoid eyes on her to their very core.


    “Yeah, I do think so.” Sonia touched her face and nodded all while looking at her reflection in the mirror.


    Although she was slightly shy when she said such thoughts about herself, she knew that to be the


    truth, and couldn’t very well speak otherwise.

    “However, don’t you think something’s missing?” Toby released her chin and slowly traced his fingers


    down before caressing her neck.


    As she was feeling ticklish from his touch, she red at him through the mirror and asked him to stop


    his tomfoolery.


    Toby chuckled but still did as he was told and stopped his caress.


    Only when Sonia was satisfied did her re soften with her voice escaping from her red lips. “I guess


    the matching makeup and hairstyle, right?”


    “Wrong.” Toby shook his head. “Those are only secondary.”


    “Hm? If not makeup and hairstyle, then what can it be?” Sonia looked curiously at that reflection of that


    devilishly handsome man in the mirror.


    The man said nothing and only shed a smirk at Sonia’s reflection before he had his hands removed


    from her to reach into his suit pocket. Looking at his reflection, Sonia came to the assumption that the


    man was looking for something. She then turned to him and gazed curiously at his pocket. “What are


    you looking for?”


    Toby did not answer her before finally taking his hand out of his pocket. However, Sonia could not see


    what he was holding, as his hand was clenched into a fist. In a nutshell, he was being mysterious at


    this moment. “Turn around,” he said without answering her question.


    Sonia rolled her eyes. Fine, I’ll y along, she thought while obediently turning her attention back to


    the mirror, as she was curious about what he nned to do.


    From behind Sonia, Toby extended his fist out beside her ear and slowly opened his fist. Instantly, an


    item with the shine of red and silver came falling from the palm of his hand. It was a lustrous ruby


    ne that was brimming with opulence. The ruby ne that swayed slightly under Toby’s hand


    had a beautiful radiance of red, from the gemstone, and silver, from the ne.


    Now, Sonia was staring wide-eyed at the man smirking in the mirror. It was only after moments passed


    did she manage to speak up, albeit with trembling lips. “You…”


    “Don’t move.” Toby raised his voice slightly.


    Sonia stopped moving instinctively with her mouth shut.


    Then, Toby reached his other hand over from her other side to open the ne and helped her put


    them on.


    Sonia stood dumbfounded the entire process and only managed toe to her senses when the


    ne was on her neck. Gently touching the red ruby on her neck, she asked, “What are you—”


    “Don’t touch it. You look beautiful wearing it. The ne suits you very well.” Toby was worried that


    Sonia would take off the ne and hurriedly removed her hand that was resting on the ne.


    Upon noticing how nervous Toby was, Sonia was taken aback before she finally let out augh. “What’s


    up with you? I never said I was going to take it off. I was just curious. When did you prepare this


    ne?”
