Chapter 954 Infatuation
After all, she valued her reputation more since she was at the peak of her career. Eunice, on the other hand, was unhappy about it as she felt that Sofia was taking Tessa’s side.
Sofia didn’t care about her feelings and warned her, “If you still keep this up, don’t blame me for chasing you out later on!”
After Sofia had said what she wanted to, she turned around and walked toward the dining room. Eunice was exasperated by the treatment that she received. Why does everyone like Tessa, that b*tch, so much? And what’s wrong with all the maestros? Why are they so fond of this woman? She returned to the dining room angrily, but she still couldn’t figure it out.
Just then, the doorbell rang and Sebastian went to open the door. The well-dressed Wanda was seen standing outside the door, and her eyes flickered when she heard laughter coming from inside the house.
As Sebastian looked at her, he asked her in confusion, “May I know who you are looking for?” By the time Wanda returned home, Sebastian had already been transferred to Vienna. Thus, he hadn’t met her before.
Hearing that, she furrowed her brows slightly and tried to suppress her unhappiness while smiling. “I’m here to see Nicholas. I’m Wanda of the Muller Family.” Sebastian instantly knew who she was after hearing that.
“You must be here for Master Nicholas’ birthday dinner. Please come in.” He then brought her to the dining room and announced, “Master, Miss Muller is here.”
Tessa was surprised to see the beautiful Wanda standing at the doorway as she never expected her to be there.
“Why are you here?” Nicholas frowned and looked at her coldly.
“I’ve been busy all day. I specially came here to thank you since the project has been successfully negotiated,” she explained with a smile on her face before handing him a gift while she scanned the room. “I’ve prepared this birthday gift for you. Happy birthday.”
As Mona stared at Wanda, she could instantly tell that she had bad intentions. She then nudged Tessa and whispered to her, “I bet this woman has her eyes on President Sawyer. You should hurry over, receive the gift from her, and let her know that you are President Sawyer’s wife!”
Tessa laughed after hearing that, but she also stood up and went over to Wanda as Nicholas seemed to be ignoring her. Since Wanda was their guest, it wouldn’t be good to chase her away, especially in front of that many people.
“Thank you, Miss Muller.” Tessa received the gift on behalf of Nicholas and said with a smile, “If you don’t mind, you should have something to eat before leaving.”
Wanda gladly obliged as she had purposely picked to visit at this hour so that Nicholas wouldn’t be able to make her leave even if he wanted to. As she was seated, she smiled at everyone and nodded at them. Since the ones who were present were maestros of their field, they merely nodded politely and resumed their interrupted conversation. Even so, Wanda didn’t feel embarrassed or out of place at all.
As Wanda’s gaze fell upon Nicholas, she couldn’t hide her infatuation toward him. Maybe it was because he had had a few drinks, he exuded a lazy yet charming aura. Paired with his good looks, she couldn’t pull her gaze away from him.
Just then, the maids had already set up her utensils and had poured her a glass of wine. Seeing that, she raised her glass and said, “Happy birthday, Nicholas.”
Upon hearing that, he glanced at her and nodded politely but continued to ignore her after that.
He then turned to Tessa and reminded her gently, “You should eat more. I noticed that you haven’t eaten much tonight.”
“Got it.” She smiled as his gesture made her heart warm and fuzzy. It was apparent that he had been paying attention to her the whole night. As he looked at her, he gave her a gentle smile.
Noticing that, Wanda clenched the hand which was holding onto the wine glass, looking both unhappy and jealous. She had never seen Nicholas being that gentle and caring toward anyone before. Little did she know that her expression had been noticed by Eunice, who had just come back from the washroom.
