Chapter 214
Kielinlso added a message while he was at it. ‘Nicholas, I was out running errands when I saw Tessa with another man. They seem to be on a date!”
The angle of his photo was very ambiguous. From the picture, Tessa’s lightly blushing face could be seen clearly, but only the back of the man’s head could be seen. Moreover, the man could be seen kneeling with one knee on the ground and holding her hand. However, the bandages and disinfectant in his hand could not be seen.
When he saw the photo, Nicholas’ expression immediately darkened for some
reason.
At this moment, a knock sounded on the door of his office. He looked up and coldly responded, “Come in.”
“President Sawyer, Mr. Reinhart is here,” Edward said.
Nicholas nodded. “Let him in.”
Timothy followed Edward into the office with a stack of project proposals. “President Sawyer, I’ve completed my project proposal. Please have a look.”
S
Nicholas nodded and took the stack of documents from Timothy. “Explain it to me.”
“For this software, I plan to..” Timothy’s gentle voice sounded inside the room. He took his time to bring up the main points of his project proposal and explained them in detail.
After Timothy was done, Nicholas nodded. “This part needs some revision. The rest are fine.”
Timothy carefully marked that particular section.
Once everything was done, Nicholas subconsciously asked, “Does your sister have a boyfriend?”
Timothy was stunned by the question. Despite feeling a little confused as to how the conversation arrived at this topic, he answered nonetheless, “No.” Then, he asked puzzledly, “Why do you ask, President Sawyer?”
Then, he seemed to have realized something, so he smiled and began to defend his
sister. “To be honest, the only things that my sister thinks about over the past few years are making money, playing the violin, and taking care of me. She doesn’t concern herself with anything else. It’s not like nobody tried to woo her in the past. It’s just that she does not care much for relationships. Over time, those feelings tend to disappear. It can be said that she has never been in love before. Besides, we don’t have any secrets between us. Even if my sister is in a relationship, there’s no way I wouldn’t know about it. Even if she doesn’t tell me about it, I know her very well. She can’t keep a secret from me.”
After he heard those words, Nicholas’ expression softened slightly and became less hideous compared to earlier. At the same time, he was puzzled by his own reaction. What does Tessa being in a relationship have to do with me? Why did I react so strongly to it?
In any case, it was her freedom to decide whether to be in a relationship or not. It was just that he was somewhat unhappy about this freedom of hers.
Tessa returned home in a terrible mood. She fervently wished that everything was just a dream. I wish that when I wake up, I would not be targeted by the Sawyer Group; I would still be part of the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra, and everything would go back to how it was.
Feeling rather sullen, she covered herself in her blankets. She wanted to bury her head and sleep so that she could wake up from this nightmare a little sooner. Unfortunately, all the emotions in her heart were suffocating her, and she could not fall asleep. The more she thought about it, the worse she felt.
Not long afterward, she heard the door of the house being opened. She got up from the bed to take a look and saw Timothy walking in through the door with a large gift box in his hand.
When Timothy saw Tessa, he hurriedly waved at her and exclaimed happily, “Tess, come here quickly! I’ll show you something nice!”
“What is it?” Tessa was a little curious.
He handed the large gift box over to her carefully, as though he was handling a precious treasure. “Open it and see.”
She suspiciously opened the box and immediately widened her eyes in astonishment. What was inside the box was none other than an extremely exquisite violin!
Unable to help herself, she reached out to touch the violin strings and asked in surprise, “Why did you suddenly think of giving me a violin?”
Seeing that she liked the present, he explained with a smile, “I bought this from a teacher who likes to collect violins. According to him, this is an excellent violin. Moreover, it has a beautiful name. Its name is ‘Nirvana.”
She nodded. She recognized this violin. It was the personal possession of an extremely famous violinist in the country, Alexander Flores.
