Chapter 236
Besides, he had obviously asked that for his brother‘s sake.
Forget it. I‘m aware of Nicholas‘ temper, and I‘m not allowed to talk about personal matters during office hours, especially if they are related to him.
Kieran was also the one who had said all that nonsense and agitated him.
He dared not dawdle anymore, so he quickly reported the progress of his work.
After Nicholas finished listening, he nodded slightly. “You did a good job handling this matter. There‘s one more thing that I need you to do. There‘s a social event tonight. Go on behalf of me.”
“But, Nicholas, I… All right. I‘ll be sure to handle it well. There won‘t be any problems.”
As soon as Kieran was about to complain, he received an unbelievably cold look from his brother. Fine. I‘ll just go. It‘s just socializing.
As for why Nicholas couldn‘t go on his own, he dared not ask. In the end, he could only leave his office, looking aggrieved.
After getting off work, Nicholas didn‘t go home, but drove to Regal Gardens instead.
After parking the car, Nicholas couldn‘t help frowning. Even he didn‘t know why he had come here.
Obviously, that woman had already made her intentions clear. She didn‘t want to have anything to do with Sawyer Group, so what was he doing here?
But, as soon as he thought of Tessa being with other men, he felt panicked and a little empty inside, even a little miserable…
When he met her in the restaurant the other day, his anger emerged from nowhere when he saw her acting indifferent when facing him despite talking and laughing with the man.
Although she had already made herself clear before this, how could she be so happy with another person so quickly?
He didn‘t believe that Tessa didn‘t see Gregory or his injured expression, yet she pretended not to know him, which was simply too cruel.
Nicholas looked up at the direction of Tessa‘s room, where the light was still turned off. It‘s already so late, but she‘s not home yet... What the hell is she doing?
Irritated, he took out a cigarette, got out of the car, then leaned against the tree on the side of the road. After lighting up the cigarette, he felt much better after inhaling once.
Suddenly, the sound of people talking sounded in front of him, causing his eyes to freeze.
He saw Tessa walking in the direction of her home while carrying a violin, and there was a man beside her. This man was none other than Scott.
It‘s that man again. Nicholas‘ eyes turned gloomy in an instant as he stared at the two people who were walking leisurely, talking and laughing along the way.
Tessa stopped at the bottom of her building, then looked at Scott and said, “Thank you for sending me back today.”
“You don‘t have to be so courteous. It‘s along the way.”
Scott gave Tessa a gentle smile as always.
All of a sudden, Tessa shuddered as she felt a cool sensation on her back, as if someone was watching her, so she couldn‘t help but look in that direction.
However, after turning back, she saw nothing except street lights and trees. There wasn‘t even a single pedestrian on the road.
Seeing that she suddenly turned to look behind, Scott turned as well, then said strangely, “What‘s the matter?”
“It‘s nothing.”
Tessa shook her head. It might just be that it was getting cold. She was probably thinking too much. This was a high–end residential area, so visitors would have to register before entering. Naturally, no one would be randomly allowed entry.
“Well, I‘m home,” Tessa said.
Scott nodded. “Okay, I‘ll go first, then. Good night. See you tomorrow.”
“Good night. See you tomorrow.”
Tessa stood under the streetlamp and watched Scott leave, then turned and went upstairs.
Seeing that the two of them had parted ways, Nicholas extinguished his cigarette and trailed behind Tessa as they walked into the building together.
After Tessa entered the elevator, she heard the peculiar clatter of leather shoes against the marble floor. Then, she thought of the fact that she felt someone watching her earlier, so she was frightened and was about to close the elevator doors when she saw a hand stopping the elevator doors from closing.
