Chapter 688 Visiting Nicholas
The two entered an exquisitely decorated cafe and took their seats.
Timothy handed the menu to Tessa as he introduced, “Their pastries are amazing, and the portion is not that much either. You can order a few types and try them out.”
She smiled and nodded agreeably at his suggestion.
A short while later, the waiter served their meals.
At the sight of the delicious pastries before her, Tessa found it quite appetizing.
She picked up a cream puff and took a bite; the sweetness immediately filled her senses.
“It’s delicious! How did you find this place?”
The two chatted as they ate, and she suddenly sighed. “It’s been a long time since we’ve spent much leisure time with each other.”
Timothy had also recalled their busy lives in the past and smiled gently. “More days like this will come.”
“Yeah. Life is going to get better for us.” Tessa nodded.
Little did they know that Yvette, who was not far away, watched each of their moves.
She felt jealous when she looked at the two talking and laughing with each other.
She liked Timothy, but he had always been blunt towards her.
Initially, she thought that was just Timothy’s personality, but now he was chatting enthusiastically with another woman.
“Ugh!”
Angrily, she poked at the pastries on her plate and mumbled lowly, “If it weren’t for the sake of getting a connection to Sawyer Group, I wouldn’t waste time on a handicapped man like you!”
That was right. Yvette looked down on Timothy.
She was merely using him as a stepping stone towards her final target— the Sawyer brothers.
Due to the fact that she was not qualified to mix around with the people in Nicholas’ circle yet, this idea formed in her head when, by chance, she came to know that Timothy knew Nicholas and that they were pretty close to each other.
She never expected Timothy to reject her, even when she kept trying to get closer to him. It frustrated her so much.
Timothy knew nothing about Yvette’s motives at all.
He accompanied Tessa for tea and planned to send her back home but was rejected instead.
“You don’t need to send me home. I’m planning to go to Nicholas’ company and wait for him to get off work.
While they were in the cafe earlier, Tessa received a text from Nicholas. He told her that he had gone to the company.
Timothy didn’t insist on sending her home when he heard her plans and just told her, “Text me when you’ve arrived there.”
Tessa nodded at that.
Then, the two went their separate ways.
After she left the cafe, she took a cab to Sawyer Group.
She wanted to give Nicholas a surprise, so she contacted Edward instead when she arrived.
“Mr. Jackson, I’m at the company’s lobby now. Could you come down and get me? Make sure Nicholas doesn’t know I’m here.”
“Sure, I’ll head downstairs now.”
A moment after their phone call ended, Edward appeared in the lobby.
“Miss Tessa,” he greeted Tessa respectfully.
Many company employees who were around them looked over with surprised looks.
However, Tessa paid them no attention and followed Edward into the elevator, smiling as she asked, ”Nicholas did not notice anything, right?”
“No. Mr. Sawyer is in his office. He doesn’t know that I came down.”
“That’s good.” she nodded.
Edward stood beside her and started to talk, “Mr. Sawyer will be happy when he sees you.”
She started to get excited upon hearing Edward’s affirmation.
With a ding sound, the elevator stopped at the top floor.
After she thanked him, she walked straight to Nicholas’ office.
Knock knock.
“Come in,” Nicholas’ stern voice sounded from inside the office.
When Tessa pushed the door open and walked in, she saw him buried in work on his desk. He was exuding a superior aura, making him extremely daunting.
She was stunned for a moment before she pretended to be his secretary and said in a serious tone, “Mr. Sawyer, here are the documents you asked for.”
When Nicholas heard the familiar voice, his stern expression immediately changed into a gentle one.
However, he did not expose her immediately. Instead, he looked down and pretended to be still working as he played along. “Just put them here.”
Tessa saw the smile on his lips and knew he had already realized it was her.
