Chapter 386 A Performance
Tessa was in the passenger seat, looking forward to what would happen. A while later, they stopped outside of Wiener Musikverein.
“We’re here. Come now.” Nicholas got out of the car.
Tessa got out of the car and looked at Wiener Musikverein in surprise. “Why are we here, Nicholas? There aren’t any performances here, nor is it open.” She looked at him curiously.
Nicholas went over to her and smiled. “Come with me, and don’t ask any questions.” He then held her hand and went up to Wiener Musikverein.
Tessa was worried the crew might stop them, but they went in without any trouble. “How did you do it, Nicholas?” She stood in the resplendent hall, looking in awe.
Nicholas smiled. “I have my ways.” He took her to the hall and stopped before the stage. Nicholas looked at her lovingly and said, “There aren’t any performances here tonight, so it belongs to you and only you, while I am the only audience. Will you perform for me?” He took the violin on the stage and handed it to Tessa.
Tessa looked at the violin, her eyes filled with tears. She had dreamed of performing in Wiener Musikverein all her life, so of course she would perform. “But performing in this attire looks so informal.” She looked at her clothes, and frustration welled up within her. If I had known this, I would have worn a dress, not a T-shirt and jeans.
Nicholas noticed the frustration in her eyes, and he smiled. “That’s easy. Come with me.” He took her backstage.
When they came in, she saw a team of stylists waiting for her, and when they saw them, they greeted, “Hello, Mr. Sawyer. Hello, Miss Reinhart.”
Nicholas nodded and looked at Tessa gently. He told the stylists, “Style her up.” And he told Tessa, “I’ll be waiting for you outside.”
Tessa nodded and saw him off. A stylist came up to her with a few beautiful dresses and asked, “Miss Reinhart, I picked this based on your body shape. Which one would you like?”
Tessa looked at the dresses. They were all beautiful, and it put her in a dilemma. In the end, she picked an off-the-shoulder silk dress. When she came back out wearing the dress, her beauty surprised the stylists. Her skin was fair and shining, her hair long, lustrous, and tumbling down her shoulders. Her face had no makeup on, but she was already gorgeous enough.
The makeup artists snapped out of it and praised, “You look beautiful even without makeup. I’m sure you’ll stun Mr. Sawyer once you’re all dressed up.”
Tessa gave them humble replies, but she too looked forward to how surprised Nicholas would be. An hour later, she was finally done, and she held her dress as she went to the door. A crew member gave her the violin, and she thanked him.
The crew member smiled and pushed the heavy door open.
Tessa looked at the stairs before her, and she took a deep breath. She held her dress and stepped onto the stage carefully, as she was wearing heels. When she came onto the stage, a beam of white light shone down on her, making her flawless face sparkle even more. She went to the center of the stage and looked at the only audience in the first row of the seats. Then she smiled and started her performance.
