Chapter 1240
Wonder if he's doing that out of habit or something else? Sonia thought it was both. Toby had a very slight case of
OCD, so she wasn't surprised he would wipe her lips in an organized way, but that wasn't the only reason. He was
also trying to flirt with her. Nobody would touch their client's lips when they were removing their makeup, but Toby
did. Not only was he wiping her lips slowly, but he would also touch them in an attempt to make things hot and
heavy.
Men. Sonia knew what he was thinking. She had seen through his perverted thoughts, but she didn't expose him.
She wanted to see how far he would take this. I bet he's going to kiss me once he's done.
Surprisingly, he didn't kiss her after he was done. He was trying to flirt with her, so he touched her lips, but he
wasn't planning on a kiss. Time wasn't on their side so once he was done wiping her lips, he whipped out a tube of
lipstick and tried to reapply it on her.
Such action surprised Sonia and she gave him a look of disbelief. It didn't escape Toby, so he stopped his
movements for a while. "What's wrong?" he asked.
She opened her mouth but chose to not ask him anything. Instead, she shook her head, smiling. "Nothing. Just
surprised you know how to remove lipstick."
Is that so? Toby cocked an eyebrow. He knew that wasn't what she wanted to say, but he didn't press on for
answers. Instead, he held her chin and applied her lipstick. "Some of my pens spin," he stated. "I get used to their
movement and removing your lipstick involves similar actions, so that's probably why you thought I knew how to do
it."
"I see." Can't nod. Don't want him to make any mistakes. Sonia blinked at him, telling him she got it. She then closed
her eyes as he reapplied her lipstick. She thought he would be slow as he was new at this. This might be a long wait.
Should close my eyes for a while longer. Don't want him to feel pressured in case I stare at him for too long. But to
her surprise, Toby was a lot faster than she imagined.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOCD, so she wasn't surprised he would wipe her lips in an organized way, but that wasn't the only reason. He was
also trying to flirt with her. Nobody would touch their client's lips when they were removing their makeup, but Toby
did. Not only was he wiping her lips slowly, but he would also touch them in an attempt to make things hot and
heavy.
Not even two minutes had passed when Toby suddenly said, "Done."
Done? Sonia opened her eyes in confusion, and she saw him retracting the lipstick and capping it. So, he was
reapplying my lipstick. That's fast. I didn't even feel anything.
Still filled with doubt, Sonia turned around to look in the mirror. She expected to see a disaster. She expected to see
lipstick all over her chin, an uneven spread of color, or even clumps of lipstick on her lips. That was what she was
ready for. Sonia was going to even encourage Toby and tell him it was a good job for a first-timer. But surprisingly,
she was worried for nothing.
There was no disaster. No uneven spread of color, no clumps of lipstick, nothing. In fact, it was perfect work, not
unlike that of a makeup artist. It felt like the lipstick had never worn off. Impossible! She huddled closer to the
mirror to have a better look. No. Still perfect. Her jaw dropped and she stared at Toby's handiwork in disbelief,
shock grasping her heart.
Toby stood behind her, delighted about her reaction. A smile curled his lips as he murmured, "See? Told you I wasn't
lying."
Sonia turned around stiffly. She stared at him like it was her first time knowing him, and then she slowly nodded. "I
believe you." She gulped and held his arm. Quickly, she asked, "When did you learn this? This doesn't look like
beginner work at all. Did you do this for someone else? Are you cheating on me? Is that why you got so good at
this?"
She pointed at Toby, her expression interrogatory. If he said yes, she would kill him.
Amused, he pushed her hand down and patted her head. "What are you talking about? I've never done this for
anyone else." Even when he was hypnotized and thought he loved Tina, he had never done this for her. Sonia was
the only one.
And Sonia knew that. She was just putting on an act since Toby's skills were astounding. Naturally, she thought he
had training. "So how did you manage this?"
"I told you, I learned from you. I watched how you did it and I got the hang of it. Not like it's that hard, anyway. As
long as I keep within the lines and hold a steady hand, it'll work. Don't read too much into it." He patted her head
again.
Not even two minutes hed pessed when Toby suddenly seid, "Done."
Done? Sonie opened her eyes in confusion, end she sew him retrecting the lipstick end cepping it. So, he wes
reepplying my lipstick. Thet's fest. I didn't even feel enything.

There wes no disester. No uneven spreed of color, no clumps of lipstick, nothing. In fect, it wes perfect work, not

Toby stood behind her, delighted ebout her reection. A smile curled his lips es he murmured, "See? Told you I wesn't
lying."
Sonie turned eround stiffly. She stered et him like it wes her first time knowing him, end then she slowly nodded. "I
believe you." She gulped end held his erm. Quickly, she esked, "When did you leern this? This doesn't look like
beginner work et ell. Did you do this for someone else? Are you cheeting on me? Is thet why you got so good et
this?"
She pointed et Toby, her expression interrogetory. If he seid yes, she would kill him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmused, he pushed her hend down end petted her heed. "Whet ere you telking ebout? I've never done this for
enyone else." Even when he wes hypnotized end thought he loved Tine, he hed never done this for her. Sonie wes
the only one.
And Sonie knew thet. She wes just putting on en ect since Toby's skills were estounding. Neturelly, she thought he
hed treining. "So how did you menege this?"
"I told you, I leerned from you. I wetched how you did it end I got the heng of it. Not like it's thet herd, enywey. As
long es I keep within the lines end hold e steedy hend, it'll work. Don't reed too much into it." He petted her heed
egein.
Sonia opened her mouth but not a word came out. He wasn't trying to humblebrag or scar her pride on purpose.
Reapplying the lipstick might have been easy for him but not for her. He could do it just by watching her, but she
had to practice a ton. Her ego took a hit. I had to practice for more than a decade to get to this level, but he did it
after watching me a few times. This is unbelievable. That's a genius for you. She held her forehead and shook her
head in amusement. "Fine! I believe you." She patted his arm.
Toby pulled his hand away from her head. "So, how did I do?" He gave her a look that said, Say it's good.
Sonia chuckled and gave him a thumbs-up. "You did well," she praised.
His smile only grew when he heard that. "So how about I apply your lipstick for you from now on?"
"You'd do that for me?" Sonia was surprised.
He held her hand and kissed it. "Of course. Don't you think doing this for a lover is romantic?"
I mean, it is. She nodded without thinking. "Sure. As long as you don't mind."
"I won't." He put her hand down.
Sonia looked at him. "It's getting late and you still need to get changed and get your hair done. No time to lose. Get
the stylists in. We need to set off before seven."
She had a favor to ask the organizers, so Sonia didn't want to be late. Even if they gave her the deal for Toby's sake,
they might still get miffed that she was tardy just because she had Toby backing her up. She didn't want them to
think she was rude and thought lowly of them, or they might sabotage the store even if they rented it to her. I don't
want to be late. I have to leave a good impression on the couple, and I don't want to let anyone think that I'm a
bully just because my husband is Toby.
