Chapter 989 Don’t Let Tessa Off
On the other end, Wanda frowned because she understood the meaning behind Eunice’s words. It seems that she doesn’t plan to pick on Tessa anymore. No, that won’t do.
Not only did she want Tessa not to attain any fame, but she also wanted Tessa to be utterly ruined so that she would be too ashamed to stay by Nicholas’ side.
Hence, she purposely provoked Eunice, saying, ”What? Are you planning to let her off? Bear in mind that as long as this woman exists, it’s impossible for you to get close to Nicholas. Besides, even though the building caught fire, it will only postpone the release of Tessa’s album. Once everything is in place, your teacher will definitely reach out to Tessa again.”
After a moment of hesitation, Eunice figured that the woman had made a valid point. ”What do you have in mind?”
”We’ll go according to the original plan.”
Tessa was oblivious to all these nefarious plots that surrounded her. After she had tucked Gregory in bed, she saw that the lights in the study were still on. Therefore, she turned to go downstairs.
A few minutes later, she returned to the second floor with a bowl of soup.
She knocked on the door of the study and entered. ”Nicholas.”
When Nicholas saw her, he quickly rose to his feet and took the soup from her hands, asking in concern, ”Why aren’t you in bed yet?”
”I’m worried that you’ll be hungry when you’re still at work at this time, so I thought to make you some supper,” Tessa said, gesturing for him to finish the soup while it was still hot.
A tender warmth surged in his heart, and he held the bowl as he shared it with her. Then, under the light, they fed each other, painting a very heart-warming picture.
After they finished the soup, Tessa urged, ”Get back to work quickly. I’ll be waiting for you here.”
At first, he didn’t want her to wait for him, but she was firm on her decision to accompany him, so he could only allow her to do as she pleased.
Still, he sped up the efficiency of his work because he wanted to finish earlier. That way, Tessa wouldn’t have to wait for him and get a good night’s rest. But, alas, it was an hour later when he was finished with work.
By that time, Tessa had already fallen asleep on the couch and was already nodding off.
Nicholas found it amusing but worrying at the same time. Thus, he decided to try his best not to bring work home, and even if he did, he would take care of it as soon as possible. With that thought in mind, he carried her carefully, but she still awoke from her light doze when she was in his arms. Nevertheless, she was too lazy to move and simply let him carry her back to bed.
Once they were in the bedroom, something came to mind suddenly, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, saying, ”By the way, I would like to discuss something with you. The orchestra would need time to recuperate from that fire. So, I’m thinking, why don’t we use this opportunity to bring Greg back to visit Mom and Dad?”
Nicholas naturally agreed to her idea with a smile. ”I’ll make arrangements for the work in the branch office before we go, then.”
At the same time, back in the country where the Sawyer Residence was, Kieran crawled out of his warm bed unwillingly a little past 8.00AM.
Because his elder brother wasn’t at the company, he had to take care of all the issues in the company. So soon after he arrived at the company and entered his office, his assistant came in to report on his schedule for the day.
”Vice President Sawyer, at 10.00AM, you’ll need to chair a senior management meeting. Then, at 2.00PM, there’s a meeting with the president of Shimmer Tech and dinner in a lounge with Mr. Berrali of Bing Corp at 6.00PM.”
His schedule for the entire day was arranged clearly, and Kieran waved his hand lifelessly. ”I got it. You can get back to work.”
His assistant nodded and left.
At the same time, Wanda had managed to get hold of Kieran’s schedule and knew he would be meeting a client today, so she called her trusted assistant into her office.
”Tonight, Kieran will be going to the lounge. Make the arrangements and act according to the plan. Remember to cover your tracks.”
Her assistant asked hesitantly, ”Miss Muller, are you really going to do this? If the Sawyer Family finds out about this, it might create a rift between both families.”
”That’s why you cannot make a mistake,” Wanda said, refusing to back off.
The assistant could only reluctantly follow her instructions and make the preparations.
The poor soul that is Kieran had no idea about what was about to happen to him. Hence, at 6.00PM, he went to the lounge as scheduled to meet the president of Bing Corp.
