Chapter 613 “Not really. What about you? Do you have any ideas?” Tessa asked, looking at Mona curiously.
Mona sighed as her face scrunched up in frustration. “I don’t have a single clue. I was thinking about
getting some ideas from you.”
“What a coincidence. Great minds think alike. I was wondering if you know any of Miss Hathaway’s
preferences.”
Tessa let out a huff of amusement as Mona giggled along.
A few seconds later, she answered, “If there’s anything that Miss Hathaway loves, it would most probably
be string instruments.”
Despite her disappointment at the answer, Tessa still thanked Mona for the insight.
As for the gift, she decided to ask Louis for opinions. With the number of friends he had in the music
industry, he must have had some experience in gift-giving talented musicians that dominated their fields.
Therefore, that evening after practice, she asked the driver to drop her off at the bar.
Perhaps it was still early when she arrived, but there weren’t many guests at the bar yet, and she found
Louis in a corner booth drinking by himself when she scanned around the place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Hey, Mr. Louis,” she walked over and greeted him with a smile.
The sight of her caught him a little off guard. “Why are you free to come over today? Here, take a seat.”
Tessa nodded and slid into a seat opposite him. “The practice today ended early, so I decided to come
here to take a look. By the way, I have something to ask you as well.”
“I knew it! You’re only here whenever you have a problem for me to solve,” he said, exposing her
intention straightforwardly.
However, it didn’t bother her, and she soldiered on with a grin, “I would like to ask what will be good as a
present for elders. Mainly a gift concerning string instruments.”
He instantly guessed who the gift was meant for. “Hathaway has seen all types of string instruments in
her life. So, if you want to get her something related to that, you should get her something meaningful
instead.”
Tessa nodded in agreement while asking expectantly, “So, which instrument should I get her that will be
meaningful?”
“Shouldn’t you think about that yourself? I’ve already given you the big picture, and you’ll have to come
up with a concrete idea yourself. Who is the one giving the gift here?” he complained, casting her an
annoyed look.
Embarrassed, she scratched her nose lightly and explained, “Well, I’m more than a little stumped
here.”
So, she easily ignored the annoyance he purposefully played up as she got up, refilled his glass. and
started buttering him up.
“Please help me, Sir. I really can’t think of anything good, but I know that you’re a man of experience and
wisdom. I know without a doubt that you hold the solution to my troubles.”
Louis was out of wits as he watched the overly attentive girl, and he knew that she would pester .. him all
night if he didn’t come up with an idea for her.
“I remember that your country has a lot of musical instruments with unique sounds. Isn’t it a good idea to
get those as gifts?”
For a second, she was stunned, and then it hit her. He’s right. I can get Miss Hathaway a string
instrument that’s only produced in my country.
Delighted, she filled up Louis’ glass again. “I just know that you’re full of ideas. Thank you so much for
the help.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe accepted her grateful gesture graciously as he lifted his glass and drank from it. Then, he placed it
down and chuckled. “Since your problem is solved, why don’t you perform today? My guests have
repeatedly talked my ear off about you.”
Of course, Tessa wouldn’t turn him down, and after she agreed to a performance, she went to the stage
with her violin.
At this time, there were already a lot of guests in the bar, and perhaps it was due to her oriental
appearance that she attracted quite a few inquisitive looks.
“Who is this foreign woman? Why does she have the right to perform on stage?”
VON
The regulars who knew Tessa started to explain to the newcomer.
Afterward, when they saw that Tessa was about to begin her performance, they said one last thing and
kept quiet, ready to listen.
“She’s a very talented violinist. Pay attention to her performance. Then, you’ll understand and fall in love
with her performance.”
Even though some people thought that those words were mere exaggerations, they still kept quiet.
Nonetheless, she was unbothered by their comments as she propped up her violin and started playing.
