Matching Outfits With You
“Yes, Miss Reed.” The manager smiled and nodded.
Sonia then walked over to where she had left her jacket.
After searching through her jacket’s pockets for her phone, what she saw displayed on her phone
screen surprised her.
Toby had tried to call her a few minutes ago.
However, she didn’t hear the phone ring because she was in the dressing room.
Sonia placed the outfit she was holding on top of her jacket and unlocked her phone to call Toby.
Toby immediately picked up, but before she could even speak, Toby spoke in a hoarse voice that
sounded like he was suppressing his emotions. “Little Leaf.”
He had only called her by her nickname.
Even though it was just two words, something felt different about the way he had said them.
Whenever his sensual, raspy voice called out her name in that kind of sweet and seductive tone, Sonia
always thought he was flirting with her.
Sonia cleared her throat as her cheeks and ears burned. “What is it?”
“You look stunning in the photo you sent me.” There were a few seconds of silence before Toby
continued, “Can you put it on and show it to me tonight?”
His voice sounded even raspier as he spoke.
Finally, Sonia understood why Toby’s voice had suddenly taken on this hoarse tone; she even figured
out why she thought that he was trying to seduce her.
In actuality, he had been tempted by her.
Sonia fully understood just how beautiful she looked in the photo she sent. Even she was stunned
when she saw how she looked in that dress, let alone Toby.
As such, the reason behind Toby’s emotional state was found.
Not only that, the way he said the word ‘Tonight’ was an obvious implication.
If she wore that dress that evening, he would instantly pounce on her and tear her new dress to shreds.
From her understanding of Toby, it was definitely something he was capable of.
Upon thinking about this, Sonia huffed and rolled her eyes before decisively saying, “No!”
Toby frowned. “Why not?”
“Why not?” Sonia glanced toward where the manager was standing before she raised a hand to cover
her mouth as she whispered into the phone, “If I wear that dress tonight, will it still be intact?”
That question stunned Toby. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. However, the answer was loud
and clear in his mind.
It would definitely not be intact.
When he received the photo, he had been working through his paperwork.
Initially, he had planned on ignoring the phone when he heard it buzzing, but he glanced at it
nonetheless.
From that, he saw that it was a message from Sonia.
His first reaction upon realizing it was a message from Sonia wasn’t joy. Instead, he had been worried.
After all, they had just contacted each other. Why was she messaging him all of a sudden? It wasn’t
hard for him to wonder if she was in trouble.
With that, he swiftly abandoned his urgent documents and looked at his new message.
Unexpectedly, he had been unable to tear his eyes away from his phone screen since then.
Sonia’s message wasn’t just a random message, for she had sent him a photo of her in an evening
dress that made her look divine.
Although he had seen how beautiful she was when dressed in evening gowns, this was actually his first
time seeing her look so gorgeous.
A mermaid tail dress was meant to fit tightly around the wearer’s waist and hips. When Sonia put on
such a dress, her curvy body was perfectly emphasized.
In fact, it made her look like an actual mermaid.
How he wished he could rush over to her right then and there so that he could have his way with her. It
was the only way he could ensure no one else knew about her beauty.
Of course, that was impossible.
The only thing Toby could do was call Sonia and ask her to wear the dress later that evening, for he
desperately wanted to have her.
After all, it was impossible for a man to feel nothing when faced with such heavenly beauty.
Just like she said, he wanted to tear her dress to shreds and have her all to himself.
In the end, she unexpectedly pointed out his intentions before he could even do a thing.
When Toby remained silent, Sonia was even more certain of her refusal and her guess that her dress
would be ruined. She let out a huff and said, “I just know that you’re up to no good.”
“No, that’s not it.” Toby scratched his nose guiltily as he replied, “I wasn’t going to do that.”
“As if I’d believe you,” she said with a pout. “If you weren’t going to do that, explain to me what you
meant when you asked me to show it to you tonight.”
His eyes darted around the room as he thought hard. Then, he calmly replied, “I only wanted to see
you in the dress in person, not through my phone screen.”
“Oh, is that so? You want to see it in person, and as you look at it, you’ll have an irresistible urge to
pounce on me, right?” Sonia rolled her eyes again. “It’s not like I don’t know you.”
At that, Toby had run out of explanations.
Upon hearing silence, Sonia waved her hand in exasperation. She didn’t want to continue with this
topic.
That being said, she quite enjoyed hearing Toby tell her that.
Every woman was vain in some way, and she was no exception.
She liked being praised, and she liked it when people paid attention to her.
Hence, she felt quite proud of being able to charm Toby into staring at her all day long.
“By the way, did you ask the store manager to find you an outfit just now?” she solemnly asked, putting
aside her vanity.
“Yes,” Toby said, tilting his chin upward. “Did she do it?”
“She did.” Sonia nodded. “She chose a nice outfit, but why are you buying this all of a sudden? Haven’t
you already asked your tailor to custom-make you one?”
“It’s custom, but I don’t like it,” he replied with a frown.
“You don’t like it?” Sonia felt the edges of her mouth twitching. “It is made specifically for you. The
fabric is only cut after you decide on a style that you are satisfied with. You’re telling me you don’t like it
now?”
“Well, I just don’t,” Toby haughtily said. “It doesn’t match your dress.”
When Sonia heard that, she understood what Toby was trying to say.
It was because his designer outfit would not match a single aspect of her new dress.
They would be appearing at the same time, after all. Also, he wanted them to wear matching couple
outfits. Hence, he couldn’t wear the tuxedo he had originally ordered and had to buy a new outfit that
complimented her dress better.
In fact, he even asked the manager to select a tuxedo with a blue tie.
Honestly, he only wanted to match his outfit to hers. Was there a need to be so sly?
Emotions warred in her as she said, “It’s just an outfit. Do you need to do all that?”
“Of course.” Toby solemnly nodded. “This is a chance to let everyone know that we’re lovers.”
“You’re so childish.” Sonia was stuck between crying and laughing.
Toby didn’t think much of it, though. Who cared if he was childish?
Either way, he would be happy to wear matching outfits with her.
“Do you think the tuxedo chosen by the manager matches your dress? If it doesn’t, why don’t you help
me pick one?” Toby said, handing her the mission.
Sonia glanced at the manager. “I think it’s fine, and the manager has good judgment. While the dresses
she led me to were made of different fabric, they didn’t look any different when I looked closer.”
“That’s good,” Toby said. “It’s settled, then. Could you help bring the outfits home?”
“Okay,” Sonia agreed.
The couple kept chatting for a while longer. When she heard Tom asking Toby about some documents,
Sonia ended the call, not wanting to distract him from work.
