Chapter 1248 Abrasive
Of course, Sonia had no idea someone was plotting against her. Presently, she and Toby were sitting on a couch in the rest area. She placed her wine on the table and bent over to massage her calves.
Toby noticed that and he stopped drinking. “What’s wrong?” he asked gently. “My calves are sore, and my feet are killing me. These heels are so hard to control.” Sonia frowned. If they weren’t at an event, she would have taken the heels off and massaged her feet. Ugh, I’m dying here!
Toby looked at her heels. “It’s not too tall but the heel is a bit too far in. I can see why it strains the feet.” Sonia nodded. “Yeah. This brand’s heels aren’t designed to be worn easily, but women love them. You know why?”
Toby arched an eyebrow and answered, “Because they look pretty?” That got him a look of approval. “Good guess.”
He smiled in response. “Your shoes are practically shining. Unless the person has a peculiar taste, nobody’s going to say it’s not nice.”
“Yep. The heels they produce are incredibly beautiful. Incredibly uncomfortable to wear, but women love them all the same. Beauty is king, and this shows off our legs better. But our calves get sore easily and it kills our feet.” Which makes them perfect for photos but not everyday use. Unless you want to kill your own feet.
At that point, Toby noticed the little swelling on Sonia’s ankle. It’s not just uncomfortable. It’s abrasive. Her feet are already getting red. At this rate, it’s gonna peel her skin off. “Let me take a look.” He bent over and tried to pull her foot up for a closer look.
Sonia noticed what he was trying to do, which caused her eyes to widen. Immediately, she held his arm and stopped him. “Please don’t. There are people around here. You doing this is going to look really bad on us.”
“So?” Toby pursed his lips. “Ignore them. Your health comes first.”
“I know, but at least show some respect to the organizers. If we do this in the hall, it’d upset them. They won’t say it but that’s what they’ll think. Stop it. I can handle this.” She shook her head.
She has a point. Toby sighed. “Fine. We’ll go to the waiting room. I’ll get someone to provide you with some slippers and you can change into those.”
Sonia chuckled at that. “Nobody attends an event in slippers. It’d be like you attending an award ceremony in a onesie. It’d look funny.”
“What about your feet? We’ll be here for a while.” Toby frowned as he thought, At this rate, her feet are going to buckle.
She looked at her heels and sighed. “It’s alright. I’ll just sit right here and wait for the organizers. Once they show up, I’ll talk to them. That should work.”
“No, it won’t. We’re going to the waiting room and Tom will get you a pair of shoes. Comfortable ones.” Toby got up and held Sonia’s wrist with one hand while the other held her lower back. Then he picked her up and went to the waiting room.
Everyone noticed where they were going before exchanging knowing looks with each other.
“Hey, look. Mr. Fuller is going to the waiting room.”
