Chapter 1003 An Appearance
Tessa had no idea about Susan and Eunice’s devious plans for her. After she was done
styling up, she waited for her turn to perform. The seats were almost full, and the friends
and family area were packed with gorgeous women, handsome men, and adorable kids.
Mona was sitting on Gregory’s left, while Nicholas and Scott were on his right. They were
both in black suits, but both of them were radiating different vibes. One looked cold and
calculating like an ancient emperor, while the other looked soft-spoken and well-
mannered. Both of them attracted a lot of attention, however. Sitting beside Nicholas and
Scott were Sofia and her students.
Eunice just came in and was about to greet her teacher, but when she saw Nicholas in the
seats, she froze up. “Mr. Sawyer?” she gasped, and everyone frowned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOh, great. She sees Nicholas again. God, is she going to take her shot again? Sofia chided,
“Stop shouting and sit down!”
Frustration glinted in Eunice’s eyes. She sat down as she was told, but her heart was
thumping nervously. I thought he had already flown back home. Why is he still here? If he
sees Tessa falling down…
She wanted to cancel the plan, but she held herself back. The stage was already
sabotaged, and telling someone to return it back to normal again would raise some
eyebrows. She might be the mastermind, but it was unlikely that anyone would find out
she was behind it. Eventually, she calmed down and looked at Nicholas again. This time,
her eyes glinted with resolve.
Nicholas thought the look in Eunice’s eyes was weird, but he paid it no heed. Eunice was
just an inconsequential woman, after all.
Tessa had nothing to do, so she started practicing to try and get herself in the zone. She
wanted to deliver a perfect performance, after all. But then she felt her face getting itchy,
though she ignored it since she could take it.
Kellen came in a moment later and asked, “How are the preparations going, Tessa?”
“Done. Just waiting for my turn.” She raised her head.
Kellen gasped. “What happened to your face?” He strode over to Tessa, worry filling his
eyes.
Tessa wondered what he was worried about. “What’s with my face?” She turned around,
but what she saw in the mirror almost made her faint.
Her smooth, beautiful face was covered in rashes, and she looked like a woman who was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminfected by some sort of disease. “What happened to me?” Panicked, she tried to scratch
the rashes, but Kellen stopped her.
“Don’t touch your face. This is probably an allergy reaction, and touching it would make
things worse. You might get infected.” He pulled her hands down and frowned. “This is a
serious case of allergy. Regular meds won’t work. Let’s get you to the hospital.”
Tessa was already calming down. The hospital? But the performance is going to start soon.
What’s going to happen if I leave?
Kellen noticed the look in her eyes. She’s worried about the performance. He assured her,
“Don’t worry about us. I’ll deal with this. The public doesn’t know you’re going to perform
first. It’ll be fine.”
He has a point. Tessa agreed to that suggestion, but instead of going to the hospital, she
called Nicholas.
When Nicholas saw who was calling, his eyes twinkled.
