Chapter 842 Coaxing This Man Again

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 become 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 balance in your bank account, 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 account, 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 resist laughing.

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 the comedic 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 discomfort 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 discomfort after eating spicy food?

Sonia’s expression was warm as she typed out her response. ‘I’m fine, no discomfort 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 plane 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 his company.

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.

At last, 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 helpless laugh 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 plane, and I’m heading back to the office now. There’s still work to be done.”

“He works so hard,” Sonia sighed as she commented 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 to come 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 petulance 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 accept 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 become 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 become reliant on someone else. That was why she kept refusing to accept 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?
