Nicholas glanced at Gregory, who was standing to the side and wasn’t the least bit surprised that he would expose this matter. “I wanted to give you a surprise. Isn’t it better to hear it in person than hearing it through the phone?”
Tessa couldn’t refute that. It was especially so since her heart melted the moment when she heard Gordon call her ‘Mommy’. It was the best sound in the world.
Besides, this was also Nicholas being thoughtful of her, which genuinely warmed her heart. He had always been using his way to treat her well and realize his promises to her.
“Thank you. I love this surprise a lot.” Then, she stood on her tiptoes and lightly kissed Nicholas on the lips. Gregory saw that and immediately covered his eyes with one hand as the other hand went to Gordon’s eyes with a shout, “Mommy! That’s naughty!”
After a while, Tessa joined them for a meal before heading to the orchestra. She arrived at Group Two’s practice room as per usual. Everyone greeted her when they saw her, “Miss Tessa is here.”
“How’s today’s practice?” She nodded and asked for an update. But before they could say anything, Sofia came over with Tessa’s seniors in tow. “Miss Sofia,” Tessa greeted politely.
Sofia nodded and regarded the room before announcing, “Since you’re all here, I’ll cut to the chase. Yesterday night’s performance was a great success. So, Tessa, you’ll officially be Group Two’s music director from now onwards. I hope you can lead them toward a brighter future.”
Tessa wasn’t surprised to hear that and confidently replied, “I won’t let you down, Miss Sofia.” To which Sofia nodded with a satisfied look. Then, members of Group Two gave her their good wishes. “Congratulations, Miss Tessa!”
Tessa’s seniors also teased her, “Tessa, shouldn’t you treat us to something since you’ve been promoted?” “Yes. You should treat us to a meal!” Tessa laughed and nodded at their words. “No problem. Tonight’s on me.”
“You can’t bring your family. We don’t want to be forced to see you getting all lovey-dovey,” Jenny teased. Unexpectedly, her words were supported by many others.
“That’s right. No family. I don’t want to see that. Let me be single and happy!” They couldn’t be faulted since when Tessa and Nicholas were together. They were always so affectionate with each other..
So, Tessa laughed but still agreed to their conditions. That night, they had a lot of fun and drank quite a bit. The smile on Tessa’s face never once. faltered. She felt on top of the world.
When Nicholas went to pick her up, he saw her giggling in the room with glassy eyes. It was apparent she was drunk. “How could you drink so much?” He walked over and helped her up, but his tone was filled with indulgent helplessness. Tessa let him hold her and answered softly, “I’m very happy today.” He looked down at his delicate wife in his arms with loving eyes.
“You’re that happy after becoming a music director?” “No. Not just that. Gordon called me Mommy for the first time today too. I’m just so happy. This is a memorable day, Tessa drawled drunkenly.
Nicholas was dumbfounded by her reply. Nonetheless, he still carried her home and cared for her. Two years passed, and Tessa held two solo performances that were all successful, and the tickets were always sold out.
Thus, she eventually got more famous in Vienna over time. During this time, she composed dozens of classical violin music and landed herself a place among the maestros in the music industry.
As for Group Two, they became one of the most popular orchestras under her management. Similarly, Nicholas also had good progress as he successfully opened up the foreign market for the Sawyer Group. As a result, the Sawyer Group was widely established internationally.
