This is an incorrect choice. The term "boring" means "uninteresting" or "dull" (ex: the film was really boring, I fell asleep after 30 minutes). "Boring" and "fancy" are not similar in meaning.

Example: That's a fancy silver jacket you are wearing. It must have been expensive! The word "extravagant" refers to something that is elaborate or showy. These two terms are synonymous in this context. In his e-mail, Harold refers to Bruno's "fancy San Francisco offices".
