Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 958

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."
