Chapter 1046 A Dream-like Night
With that being said, Tessa wheeled around to inform Sofia and her seniors.
A group of people filled the table in a private lounge that night. With Marjorie leading them, the seniors raised their glasses to toast for Tessa. “Congratulations on finishing the recording, Tessa.”
“Thank you.” She toasted with her glass of fruit juice. The smile on her face beamed wider as Nicholas, who was beside her, watched her.
Once she downed her drink, he placed a few pieces of fish on her plate. “Have some of these. Don’t just drink.”
“Okay.” She nodded and could not smother the sweet smile on her face.
The others witnessed the whole scene and began to tease the couple. “Tessa, stop being all lovey-dovey. We’re trying to enjoy the food here.”
“Poor me. I only had a glass of wine and I’m already full before I can taste these amazing food.”
“Mr. Simon, look at them calling us single by being all sweet and stuff!”
Red crawled onto Tessa’s cheeks as she stomped on her foot bashfully. “Cut it out.”
Nicholas then pulled her into his arms protectively. “If you don’t wanna see this, please bring your partners along in the future.”
“You’re poking us at the sore part, Mr. Sawyer. Don’t you know that we’re all single?” grumbled Kellen, who put on a hurt expression.
Nicholas remained unbothered as he smiled. “That’s none of my business. If you guys don’t find someone for yourselves, you shouldn’t blame us.”
“So, is it our fault for being single? Man, that hurts. Guys, we should form an alliance and take Mr. Sawyer down.”
The others played along, raising their wine glasses in an attempt to make Nicholas drunk. The latter gladly received the challenge.
Looking at how languid he was in the face of their attack, Tessa did not stop them. Instead, she turned her head to converse with her teachers.
Merriful laughter filled the room and before long, the seniors began to raise the while flag.
“I don’t think I can drink anymore.”
Jenny was the first to give up before Daniela did. Even Marjorie gave in after holding onto it for a while longer.
In the end, Kellen was the only one left. However, he was no less better as his whole face was red. He was going to get drunk obviously.
On the other hand, Nicholas’ eyes were crystal clear without a smidgen of stupor.
Sofia found Kellen’s tenacity hilarious as she thwarted him. “Enough. Stop it. Tessa can take care of President Sawyer, but no one will do the same for you if you’re drunk.”
“It’s alright. I have my members. They outnumber them.”
To his bewilderment, the seniors were reluctant to take his side as soon as he said that. His face fell as he complained, “Don’t you guys love me?”
Tessa burst into laughter at that. Even Sofia and Simon could not hold in their laughter anymore.
The gang finished their meal in mirth and the conversation was eventually steered to Tessa’s concert.
Sofia suddenly thought of something and smiled. “This time, I invited your seniors to help you out with your performance. You better show what you got.”
“Thank you, everyone. I will not let you guys down,” Tessa expressed her gratitude at the lovely surprise.
The others waved their hands. “Nah. It’s no big deal, but you gotta treat us to something nice if it’s a success.”
“And do not bring Mr. Sawyer along. We’ve had enough today,” the vengeful Kellen added.
Nicholas lifted his brow and wrapped his hand around her shoulder with a smile. “That is out of the question.”
After returning home, Tessa was still in high spirits as her smile did not disappear from her face. It had been a while since Nicholas saw his wife being so happy. He hugged her and asked, “Are you that happy tonight?”
“I am. I really am. It’s like a dream. I can finally have a concert and release my own album!”
