Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 958 Black and Red Compliment Each Other the Most

Seeing her surprised expression, Sophia knew that she was very satisfied with the dress and was relieved. “When I

first received President Fuller’s request for me to design a dress for you, Miss Reed, I once proposed to meet you in

person. After all, I can design a better dress only by seeing you and understanding your preferences, but I was

rejected by President Fuller.”

At this, Sophia felt a little regretful. “So, I had no choice but to learn about you only through the internet or from

others. Then, after many modifications, I ended up with this dress. At first, I was worried if you would like it or if the

dress would suit you, but now, after meeting you, I understand that I had been worrying for nothing. The dress suits

you very well.”

“Why didn’t you let me meet with Ms. Sophia?” Sonia put down her dress and looked at the man in confusion.

Sophia was not a man, so what was the problem with them meeting up? He couldn’t be jealous of a woman, and an

older one at that, could he? If that was the case, he was too petty. At that thought, Sonia stared at Toby, her gaze

turning contemptful.

When Toby understood the meaning behind her gaze, his thin lips twitched slightly. “What are you thinking? I just

wanted to give you a surprise.”

“A surprise?” Sonia raised her eyebrows.

Toby hummed in reply. “I wanted to give you a dress that would amaze you at first glance, so of course I couldn’t let

you meet Sophia. If you do, Sophia would ask you what styles you like, and there would be no surprises when she

finishes the dress by then because you would already know what it looks like. You would only feel surprised if you

were kept in the dark until the end.”

“All right, I misunderstood you earlier.” Sonia smiled apologetically, then asked, “But if you kept it from me and

didn’t let me participate in the design of the dress, aren’t you afraid that I wouldn’t like it, just like Ms. Sophia said?”

“No.” Toby shook his head and said with certainty, “I’ve complimented you to Sophia, so she’ll know what kind of

dress she has to design for you. That’s why I wasn’t worried about any problems with the dress she designed.”

Sonia’s forehead creased with a frown. “Those compliments of yours…”

When she thought of Sophia’s assistant translating Toby’s compliments that used nothing but praises to describe

her earlier, she was filled with embarrassment again.

“Were my compliments wrong?” Toby spread his hands slightly. “Sophia did tell me that it’s not easy to design a

dress if she hasn’t seen you before. Later, I told her that it’s okay to design in the most beautiful and gorgeous way,

just like my compliments to you, so…”

He stopped speaking and only lifted his gaze to look at Sophia.

After listening to her assistant’s translation, Sophia nodded with a smile. “Yes, Miss Reed. At first, when President

Fuller didn’t let me meet you, I didn’t know how to design the dress. Even though I learned about you from the

internet and other people, it was a bit difficult for me to design a dress for you. In the end, I couldn’t help but

contact President Fuller again, and he gave me some pointers, which is how this dress came to be.”

Sonia glared at him playfully. “Aren’t you scared that I’m not good enough for the prettiest and fanciest design?”

“You’re good enough.” Toby nodded confidently. “To me, you’re good enough for all the good things in the world, so

I was never worried that the dress Sophia designed for you wouldn’t suit you. Look.” He lowered his gaze, his eyes

falling on the dress in her hands. “As you can see, I wasn’t wrong. The dress suits you very well. Besides, you look

better in red than blue.”

“Really?” Sonia tilted her head and looked at him flirtingly.

Toby’s throat bobbed a little as he replied hoarsely, “Yes. I wouldn’t lie to you.”

Sophia agreed, “Miss Reed, it’s true. I think that a passionate, fiery red suits you very well too.”

Sonia was pleased and couldn’t hide the shyness from her face as she said, “Since it suits me, I guess I’ll buy more

red clothes in the future.”

“Good idea.” Toby nodded, his dark eyes brightening.

Clearly, he agreed with her and supported her idea very much. He liked black, and most of his clothes were usually

black, whether it was a suit or a shirt. Only a fraction of it were other colors, but other than white, they were mostly

dull colors such as gray, and he never wore these clothes if he could help it.

In short, he basically only wore black, and black and red had always been a perfect match, much more so than

black and white. The dark and mysterious black and the seductive and enchanting red were a much better fit, while

a pure color like white was not worthy of his black.

“What are you thinking about?” Upon seeing him spacing out, Sonia waved her hand in front of his face.

Toby blinked as he returned to his senses, and his voice was still hoarse as he replied, “Nothing much. I was just

thinking about what you’d look like wearing the dress. You’ll definitely look gorgeous.”

Saying that, he looked at her with a heated gaze.

His gaze made Sonia feel uneasy all over, as if she were a piece of meat that was about to be devoured by him.

Her face turned red as she said, “I haven’t even tried it on, so how would you know it would look good? All right, I

won’t argue with you anymore. I’m going to try this on with Ms. Sophia. Hold my bag and wait for me here.”

Sonia smiled at Sophia before they walked toward the fitting room nearby together with the assistant, as it was

difficult for someone to put on a dress alone. In particular, a single wear dress such as this was very fragile in itself,

and if someone used too much force, the zipper or hand-stitched thread would easily fall apart. Therefore, when

putting on a dress, it was usually best to have someone around to help.

Sophia was the designer and maker of the dress, and the assistant was still responsible for translating from the

side. With the help of two people, Sonia easily changed into the dress. Then, she turned around and looked at the

amazement in their eyes. She was just about to ask how she looked, but she suddenly found it difficult to. From their

reactions, she already knew that the dress looked extremely good on her.

Sure enough, after Sophia came back to her senses, she held Sonia’s hand in surprise and excitement. “Oh, my

dear, you look absolutely gorgeous. This dress suits you so well. I designed this blindly by listening to a certain

man’s exaggerated descriptions when I hadn’t met you yet, and I thought President Fuller was lying to me, but now

I know that he wasn’t, and what he said was true. He also indirectly helped me improve my design skills. My dear,

meeting you and President Fuller really is my greatest fortune.”

Upon Sophia flushing red with excitement, the smile on Sonia’s face turned reluctant as her red lips opened to say

something, but she didn’t know where to start. That was because she wanted to say that Toby did lie to her. With

Toby’s exaggerated compliments, who would be able to design an appropriate dress?

Now that Sophia was able to come up with a design, it was because of her highly honed design skills, and it had

nothing to do with Toby. After all, designers didn’t always design clothes specifically for someone. They often

designed them as long as they had the inspiration. Even if many people couldn’t wear the clothes they came up

with, there would always be one person who could. Just like this time, when Toby asked Sophia to blindly design

Sonia’s dress, it just happened to be just right for her. It was that simple. Hence, it was illogical to say that Toby had

helped to improve Sophia’s design skills.
