Toby touched the tip of his nose. "How exactly did it get to you? To be honest, I was also surprised, but now that I think about it, it must've been our fate. We must've been destined for each other, and it was God's reminder to me that made me send the mangoes to the person who should've received it instead."
His words made Sonia feel quite pleased.
Toby continued, "If you don't like the mangoes from Autumn Crest Hill because of this, I can ask them to order some from somewhere else." "It's fine, let's go with this." Sonia shook her head and smiled lightly. "It wasn't the mangoes from Autumn Crest Hill's fault. It's Tina. Those mangoes taste really good, and I can't hate them just because I hate Tina. She isn't worthy of being compared with those mangoes."
Toby suddenly chuckled. "Okay, then I will tell the villa. When it's time for the mangoes to be picked, I'll ask them to deliver it immediately.”
"All right," Sonia agreed with a smile.
Just then, the sound of high heels clacking on the ground sounded from behind them. Sonia put down the plate in her hand and, together with Toby, turned to look, only to see a fashionable blond woman walking over from the opposite end with a bag in her hand.
The woman looked about fifty years old, and although her face was already riddled with wrinkles, making her look a little old, her energy and aura easily drew people's attention to her. Sonia was not particularly able to understand when people described beauties as timeless in the past, but she now knew why they did.
"Hello, President Fuller. It's been a long time since we last met." Just as Sonia was staring at the blond woman in a daze, Toby had already stood up and was greeting the woman who stopped in
front of them.
"Hello, Sophia." Toby reached out and shook her hand briefly. He barely touched her before he quickly retracted his hand.
Upon seeing this, the blond woman raised her eyebrows slightly, then looked at Sonia beside him. As if immediately understanding something, she covered her lips and smiled, then said in Pierian that Sonia didn't understand, "Before I came here, I heard that the famous President Fuller has a girlfriend that he's extremely affectionate to. At first, I thought it was just a joke. After all, the famous President Fuller is cold and indifferent, and doesn't seem like someone who would fall deeply in love, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I understand that it wasn't a joke, and the rumors didn't do you enough justice. President Fuller, you love your girlfriend very much. In order not to make her worry, you don't even care about shaking hands anymore."
Toby turned and glanced at the woman next to him as well, his thin lips curling slightly as he replied in Pierian, "She's the star I've been chasing for many years, and the light of my life. In this world, there is no one who can compare with her, so she deserves everything I have."
The blond woman was taken aback before she smiled in a congratulating manner. "You're very lucky to be able to catch a star, President Fuller, and I hope you two will always be happy."
Toby took Sonia’s hand and intertwined their fingers tightly before he raised their hands up and showed it off to Sophia. "Thank you for your blessing. We'll definitely be happy together."
As she listened to the two conversing with each other, Sonia's face and eyes were full of confusion. What were they talking about? She didn't understand a word.
Seeing Sonia's dumbfounded look, Sophia covered her lips and giggled.
This was usually an action that only young girls would do, and not many women of her age would act like this. After all, it didn't look as good when they did it, and they could give others the impression that they were acting childish. However, it didn't look out of place on Sophia at all and suited her well instead, as if she was meant to laugh like this. In conclusion, even if the middle-aged Sophia wanted to laugh like a young girl, not only did it not look odd on her, but it was even quite pleasing to the eye.
"President Fuller, your girlfriend is adorable. Aren't you going to introduce me to her?" Sophia looked at Sonia kindly as she spoke to Toby with a smile.
Although Sonia didn't understand what Sophia was saying, she could roughly guess that Sophia was talking about her. Hence, she quickly turned to look at the man next to her as well.
Just as she was about to ask Toby to translate for her, he suddenly chuckled. "Of course. She's my girlfriend, so I'll naturally introduce everyone I know to her."
Saying that, Toby also turned and looked at Sonia, just in time to meet her eyes that showed how desperately she wanted to know what they were talking about. His smile became more tender as he gently squeezed the palm of her hand, then introduced in a low voice, "This is Sophia, the owner of this designer studio, and the designer who is in charge of our formal clothes this time."
Sonia said in realization, "So she's the designer."
Saying that, she hurriedly faced Sophia on the opposite side and smiled shyly before extending her hand to introduce herself. However, before she could speak, she suddenly hesitated as she didn't know if she should speak Mesanian or Espanian. If Sophia couldn't understand either of these two languages, she would feel awkward. Besides, she couldn't speak Sophia's language either.
As if seeing through Sonia's hesitation, Toby instructed in a low voice, "Just speak Espanian. Sophia is from Eriford, so she doesn't speak Mesanian. Just use Espanian, and I'll translate it for
you." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
With Toby's words, Sonia breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to smile gratefully at him. Then, she was able to introduce herself with confidence. "Hello, Ms. Sophia, my name is Sonia, and I am Toby's girlfriend."
When she started a sentence, Toby would begin translating, and after she finished speaking, Toby would've also finished translating, as if he was a qualified interpreter.
Sophia shook hands with Sonia. "I know. When I received President Fuller's invitation, I heard about you from him."
Listening to Toby's translation, Sonia showed a trace of surprise on her face, then glanced at the man next to her before asking, "Ms. Sophia, Toby told
you about me?"
"Of course." Sophia nodded, then glanced at Toby with a smile. "When President Fuller was telling me about you, he said nothing but compliments."
Sonia's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him. "Nothing but compliments? Ms. Sophia, can I know how he complimented me?"
She expressed her curiosity, but Toby's expression froze for a moment before he looked away.
Seeing this, Sophia smiled even more happily. "Of course, in President Fuller's heart, you're the most perfect woman in the world, Miss Reed. His praise for you can probably outdo many other men."
Immediately afterward, she told Sonia what Toby had said about her at the time. Sonia couldn't understand her words, so she could only turn to the man next to her and ask him to translate for her
quickly.
In the beginning, he translated simultaneously as she and Sophia conversed with one another.
However, at Sophia's last few words, he suddenly shut his mouth and didn't say a word. Instead, he turned his head to one side, revealing only the slightly red tip of his ear.
Seeing that he wasn't translating and even looked evasive, Sonia wanted to know what he had said even more, but he kept his mouth sealed tight and refused to speak.
Sophia smiled and said, "Miss Reed, President Fuller is probably shy."
"Sophia!" With a frown, Toby called her name sharply.
However, Sophia was not afraid of him and smiled even more happily.
