Chapter 937 Stop Being Fixated on Someone Who Isn’t Yours
The call ended the next second, and Nicholas chuckled under his breath, knowing well that his beloved wife had gotten bashful. At that, he put his phone away and returned to work in a brighter mood than before.
At some time between 7.00PM and 8.00PM that night, Nicholas drove to the orchestra after working overtime. But to his dismay, he bumped into Eunice once again as he exited the car. He frowned in response, thinking she was everywhere.
Eunice, on the other hand, became livid upon seeing Nicholas; she felt absolutely humiliated when the man disregarded her time and time again, yet he treated a woman far beneath her with utter gentleness.
As the thought crossed her mind, the anger within her burned ablaze. With that, she stomped over to him in her four-inch heels.
“What is the meaning of this, Nicholas Sawyer?!” She snapped right in his face the second she got close to him. “How can you hand my daddy’s project over to someone else?!”
Nicholas drooped his eyelids and looked impassively at Eunice, his countenance less than bright. Despite not saying anything, the aura he exuded made Eunice silent at once, seeming as though someone was squeezing her throat.
However, she recovered very quickly. As fearful as she was, her desire to win him over intensified.
She really wanted to see what this recalcitrant man would look like the day he groveled at her feet.
With that in mind, she conjured up a plan and smiled. “Of course, I can overlook this if you apologize and treat me to a meal.”
“Apologize and treat you to a meal?” Nicholas sneered, and the frost in his gaze only thickened.
However, Eunice was absolutely oblivious to it, nodding. “That’s right. It’s your fault for snubbing me earlier today.”
“Huh, I believe you’re mistaken, Miss Eunice. Every Sawyer Group branch has a managing director overseeing everything. It’s never my responsibility to oversee the work. What fault do I have, and how have I snubbed you?” Nicholas took a plain glance at her, the repugnance beneath his eyes long unvarnished.
Eunice froze on the spot, rendered speechless.
Meanwhile, Tessa walked out of the building in the latest fashion items and her violin case in her hand.
Her smile dropped the moment she saw the scene in front, and grim enveloped her. I swear this woman is everywhere!
At that, she approached the two with displeasure.
At the same time, Nicholas noticed his upset wife and immediately went up to her, shaking off the relentlessly badgering Eunice.
“You’re out.” He took the case from Tessa very naturally. Unlike a few minutes ago, his gaze was now beyond gentle.
Tessa nodded impassively, then drifted her gaze to Eunice to find jealousy and loathe, which the latter had yet to tuck away, on her face.
Meanwhile, panic enveloped Eunice’s face as she hadn’t expected Tessa to suddenly turn to her. But she recovered in two shakes and smiled assertively. “Have you only just finished your practice, Tessa?”
However, Tessa was in no mood to act along with her. Just how benign does this woman think I am? Does she not think I’d get upset when she hits on my husband repeatedly—even right in my face sometimes?!
“Eunice, allow me to remind you again. Stop being fixated on someone who isn’t yours. You’re somewhat of a celebrity yourself, so have some self-respect.”
Eunice’s smile froze on her face at once, and she hit the roof.
Nicholas, on the other hand, was taken aback, for Tessa had always been pretty friendly toward others.
Then again, he understood pretty quickly that his beloved wife was being jealous, and his countenance turned exceptionally gentle and doting.
“What do you mean?” Eunice said through gnashed teeth as she glared at Tessa.
“I’m sure you know well what I’m trying to say.” Tessa stared icily at Eunice, done walking away. “I don’t want to make things sound unpleasant because I don’t want to put Miss Sofia in a difficult position. As such, I hope you can know where you stand and have some self-respect. Otherwise, something as scandalous as interfering with someone else’s marriage wouldn’t blend well with the future of your career, don’t you think so?”
