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 considerably. “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.
Fortunately, 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.”
