Chapter 551 In the end, he had no choice but to watch Tessa leave in a cab. Despite this, he still drove behind her
cab as he was worried about her. But, of course, Tessa wasn’t aware of this at all. Once she got back to
the villa, she was just about to head upstairs when she received a video call from Nicholas. “Why are you
home so late?”
Nicholas saw Tessa with her violin case still hanging from her shoulder-she looked like she had just
gotten home. He frowned when he saw this. However, she didn’t bother to hide the truth from him.
“When I performed at the restaurant earlier, I bumped into Mr. Louis’s nephew. I bought him a cup of
coffee to thank him for finding the materials needed to fix my violin.”
Nicholas didn’t overthink much upon hearing her explanation, but he was curious… “Since when did you
get to know Mr. Louis’s nephew?”
“Did I not tell you about him?” Tessa was surprised. Only then did she realize that she had been too
excited when she first got her violin fixed that she had completely forgotten to tell Nicholas about Angus,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtso she repeated the story to him. “That was how I met him,” she explained.
When she finished talking, she gave him a suspicious glance. “You’re not jealous, are you?”
“Do I look jealous?” he responded with a question of his own. Although he wasn’t fond of the idea of her
spending time alone with another man, he would never admit to such things. So instead, he shifted the
topic to remind Tessa about returning home late at night. “You should come home a little earlier. You’re a
girl living on your ownit’s dangerous for you to be out at this hour.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be a little more careful. You don’t have to worry about me.” Tessa felt a warm feeling in
her heart as she knew that Nicholas was just concerned for her. At the same time, she decided that she
would head home a little earlier in the future so that he wouldn’t have to worry about her.
Nicholas wasn’t aware of her thought processes, and he couldn’t help but nag at her for a while more-he
thought she sounded like she was brushing this matter off. Tessa chuckled when she noticed how
worried he seemed. “I realized that you’ve been nagging me much more, Nicholas. I don’t recall you
being like that in the past.”
She rested her chin on her palm as she beamed at him. He maintained a poker face as he spoke. “I
wouldn’t bother to say anything if you were anyone else.” He gazed at her seriously.
She stuck her tongue out in response to the man’s stern glare. “Alright, alright. I know you’re saying this
for my own good. It’s all my fault, alright?” She had to coax him for a while more before his gaze softened
a little.
The couple chatted for a while more before Nicholas got Tessa to end the call and get some rest. After
they got off the call, Nicholas sat in his office with a severe look on his face. Although she had managed
to change the topic earlier, he was still concerned about the fact that she had returned home at such a
late hour. He was even more worried since her performances were usually during the nighttime.
He contemplated this matter for a while before calling Edward into his office. “What can I do for you,
President Sawyer?” Edward spoke in a respectful tone from where he stood at the entrance of the office
as he patiently waited for his orders.
Nicholas looked up and shot Edward a glare before speaking in an icy tone. “I want you to arrange for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomeone to head to Vienna. I want someone to look out for her secretly.”
“Yes, sirl” Edward excused himself after receiving his orders.
The next day, Hathaway called Tessa into her office after Tessa arrived at practice. “How have your
performances at the restaurant been so far?”
Tessa smiled in response. “It has been going pretty well.”
“You’re still as humble as ever,” Hathaway teased. “Even though I haven’t been to the restaurant you’re
performing at, I’ve heard many people recommending it to me in the past few days.”
A rather bashful look surfaced on Tessa’s face when she heard the other woman’s words. Nevertheless,
she felt like her skills were finally being validated.
“How do you feel after performing in the restaurant for so many days?” Hathaway continued to
ask.
“My feelings?” Tessa thought about it for a moment before responding. “I think I’m starting to get used to
being in locations with many people, and I am getting more familiar with performing on stage.”
Hathaway nodded-she thought that this sounded like an improvement. Tessa had always performed well
on stage but still lacked some maturity in her performances.
