That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 303

Edward choked on his words, then came to his senses and realized that it was a bad idea. If Nicholas went upstairs now to find Tessa, they might as well tell her that they had been following her all this while.

He let out a light cough, then returned to being his shrewd special assistant persona and asked, “President Sawyer, shall we return to the hotel?”

Nicholas ignored him, and his dark eyes were fixed on a window on the 17th floor, in which Tessa had just turned the lights on.

Edward knew his president’s answer and sat quietly in the driver’s seat upon seeing this. And there they stayed for the entire night.

Under the glow of the yellow street light, the black car stayed quietly parked at the residential area entrance. The surroundings were quiet, and the lights in Tessa’s room had already turned off, but Nicholas still couldn’t take his eyes off the windows.

He didn’t know why he followed Tessa back, but he just couldn’t help it. For some reason, he felt irritated.

Pop! A small blue flame ignited in the car.

Nicholas lit himself a cigarette, causing scarlet sparks to flicker in the night. He inhaled deeply, letting the strong and bitter taste of nicotine to barely calm his restless thoughts. He exhaled rings of smoke as his pondering gaze fell back onto the window of Tessa’s house.

As time went by, the sky began to brighten, Edward, who had been up all night, turned back and asked, “President Sawyer, it’s dawn. Should we book a flight back?”

According to the previous arrangements, they were supposed to return home today.

Nicholas massaged his mild headache due to a lack of sleep. A few moments later, he got out of the car, then glanced at Tessa’s window before speaking in a low and hoarse voice. “You can go back first. I’ll leave in two days.”

Edward already knew what his president wanted to do, having gotten this reply. Then, he nodded and drove away without saying a word.

Nicholas continued to stand across from the residential area’s entrance. He was leaning against the utility pole as he looked at Tessa’s windows and pondered if he

should go upstairs. After struggling for a long time, he still couldn’t decide.

During this period, people gradually entered and exited the residence. They cast inquiring and astonished glances at Nicholas, who was standing on the side of the road.

Although Nicholas hadn’t slept all night, he was still in good spirits. He was dressed in a black suit and white shirt, and his buttons were firmly done up. His slender figure made him look tall and handsome and with an outstanding style.

If it weren’t for his indifference that could be sensed from thousands of miles away, many people would probably want to go over and strike up a conversation.

Just as Nicholas was still hesitating whether or not to go upstairs, God had already decided for him. He saw Tessa hurriedly walking out of the apartment building carrying a violin case. She jogged out of the entrance as if in a hurry to leave. Then, after stopping a taxi, she got in without noticing that Nicholas was standing across the street.

It was too late for Nicholas to stop her, so he could only watch as Tessa left and eventually disappeared. Tessa was deep in thought as she sat in the car due to the contents of Scott’s phone call not long ago.

“Miss Reinhart, a famous teacher, will be attending the orchestra today. If you have time, please come over. The music director and I will introduce you.”

Tessa thought that this teacher was from the Vienna Conservatory, so throughout the whole journey, all she could think about was how to show her musical talent when they met and hopefully receive an admission offer.

Unbeknownst to her, Scott wouldn’t be introducing her to a famous teacher from the Vienna Conservatory but to the renowned violinist of the once-celebrated German Philharmonic.

Just a few years ago, the violinist had now retired because of his hands. This time, he came to watch the performance by chance and found that Tessa’s musical abilities and talents were excellent, so he wanted to have a chat with her.

It was only when Tessa arrived at Berlin Philharmonic did she find out that the situation was very different from what she thought. However, she wasn’t bothered but was extremely pleased by the turn of events.

That was because she could already recognize the teacher Scott wanted to introduce to her–Hathaway, a famous violinist from the German Philharmonic!

“Hello, Miss Hathaway,” she immediately greeted in barely concealed excitement.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
