Chapter 948 Long Time No See
“Nothing much. I’m just thinking about some music matters.” Tessa snapped out of her
daze and denied it while shaking her head.
When Nicholas looked at his wife, who was still acting tough, he sighed and embraced her
in his arms. “Tell me. What happened? Or do you want me to send Edward over to your
orchestra to investigate?”
Since he had put it that way, she knew that she couldn’t hide it anymore. “I lost the
present I prepared for you.”
Just like a kid who had done something wrong, she lowered her head and told him
everything about her piece being stolen while engulfed in sadness.
When Nicholas heard that, unsurprisingly, his face darkened at once. However, the most
important thing to do now was to comfort his wife. “It’s okay. Don’t be upset. I’m happy as
long as I know that’s the present you’ve made for me.”
He embraced her and coaxed her gently. “Also, music is something that can express a
person’s state of mind. Since this is a piece that you made especially for me, others can’t
convey that specific emotion when they play it.”
Hearing that, Tessa felt that what he said actually made sense, so her mood improved
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtconsiderably. “You’re right. Even if he stole my piece, he won’t be able to express the
meaning that I want.”
After saying that, she looked at him with sparkling eyes and said with a smile, “I’ll play
this piece for you at the party tomorrow night.”
When he saw that Tessa had returned to her cheerful mood, he nodded with a smile
tugged on his lips.
Later, he left the room secretly after he put Tessa to sleep.
The moment he closed the door, his gentle gaze turned dark instantly. He took out his
phone and called Edward right away. “Look into a musician called Vernon. Find out where
he got his newly published single this morning.”
Despite having doubts, Edward still complied with the command to look into it.
After Nicholas hung up the phone, his expression was still disgruntled.
It was obvious that it was definitely someone close to Tessa who could get their hands on
her manuscript and steal it. He would definitely find this person out.
As for the musician named Vernon, he wouldn’t spare him either. He was certainly not a
good person since he could take someone else’s hard work without hesitation.
…
The next morning, Tessa brought Gregory to the orchestra while Nicholas went to work at
Sawyer Group after breakfast.
In the afternoon, Edward came into Nicholas’ room after a knock and said respectfully,
“President Sawyer, Miss Muller is here. She’s downstairs now.”
“Why is she here?” Hearing that, he knitted his brows together, and there was annoyance
beneath his eyes.
When Edward saw that, he quickly reported, “She said that Old Master Sawyer asked her
to bring something for you.”
Nicholas couldn’t reject it when it came to Remus, so he asked Edward to bring her up.
Before long, Wanda appeared in his office in a clean-cut women’s suit.
When her gaze landed on the man behind the desk, she couldn’t move her gaze away
from him anymore.
Under the sunlight, the man was still in his usual black suit. Even when he was just sitting
there, there was still a classy aura emitting from him that couldn’t be ignored.
At this moment, Wanda was enthralled by him, and she nearly couldn’t hide the affection
for him in her eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFortunately, she pocketed her gaze in time and greeted him with a faint smile, “Long time
no see, Nicholas.”
Nicholas nodded. To create an estrangement, he said formally, “You didn’t need to come
here in person, Miss Muller. You could’ve just arranged for someone to send the thing
here.”
When Wanda heard that, the smile on her face froze, and the feeling in her heart wasn’t
great. It was obvious that he didn’t want to see her.
Since she didn’t want to make him feel as though she’d come here on purpose to look for
him, she explained, “Actually, I didn’t come here on purpose. It just so happens that I have
a project meeting here.”
As she said that, she took out a gift box from her bag and handed it to Nicholas. “This is
the present that Old Master Sawyer wants me to pass to you.”
“Thank you,” Nicholas thanked her while accepting the present. Almost immediately, he
put the present aside and didn’t plan on talking to her anymore.
Seeing that, Wanda knew exactly that he was trying to chase her out, but she would be
upset if she just left like that after trying so hard to see him.
At that moment, she started to think, trying to find a topic they could talk about so that
she could stay a little longer. “Actually, I’ve come here to ask for your help on something
as well.”
