Chapter 612
Always Been Yours
After hearing Janetâs command, her subordinate frowned with disapproval.
âJan, the mission this time is perilous. Youââ.
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by her angrily, âKaiden, this is my command. Are you going to disobey my command?â
âNo,â he quickly denied. In the end, he could only accept the order reluctantly.
When she saw that he had accepted her orders, she said coldly, âAfter you find out who Nicholas Sawyerâs fiancée is, report it to me immediately.â
I would like to know who this woman is that has the guts to fight over a man with me! she thoughtâ¦
After she spat out those words, she strode to the driverâs seat and drove away.
Meanwhile, Nicholas was in the dark about everything that was happening on Janetâs side. However, he had set her to the back of his mind very quickly because not long after she left, Tessa made a video call to him.
In the call, Nicholas gazed at the girl who was still flushed from just washing up, and affection crept over his eyes, shimmering with gentleness.
âHowâs rehearsal today?â
âIt was good today. Nobody made a mistake, and Miss Hathaway even praised us.â
On the other end, Tessa was plopped in bed on her stomach in a comfortable position as she shared with him about what happened at the band today.
Nicholas felt that his heart filled with warmth and love as he listened to her soft voice.
In the end, Tessa looked at the handsome man in the call and pouted her lips, sulking, âWhat should I do? Itâs only been a day since you and Greg left, but I already miss you guys.â
âItâs difficult for me, too. Without you by my side at night, I have the feeling that something is missing,â
he said, telling her how much he missed her in his husky voice When she listened to his sweet nothings in his deep voice, she felt the melancholy in her heart gradually disappear and was replaced by happiness.
They chatted for a while until Tessa suddenly remembered something. âItâs Miss Hathawayâs birthday soon. What do you think I should get her as a present?â
âDo you have a general idea?â
âAt first, I thought about giving her a violin, but I thought I could do better. A person of Miss Hathawayâs current status wouldnât be lacking in violins from the mid to high-end range. But I canât afford it if itâs something a little more expensive,â she said with a helpless shrug.
An expensive, precious violin could easily cost millions, and it wasnât something she could afford at all.
Although she could ask her brother or Nicholas to help pay for it, she didnât want to do something like this, and her pride wouldnât allow it, either.
Nicholas could piece together what was going on in her mind as she was an open book to him, so he didnât offer to help her financially.
After he pondered over the matter, he gave her a pertinent suggestion. âSince you have no idea yet and thereâs still time left, why donât you ask around your bandmates to find out Miss Hathawayâs preferences? Based on those preferences, you can then give her a meaningful gift.â
Even though she thought he had a point, she still felt vexed.
âSomething thatâs meaningful and has a high collection value⦠Thatâs an extensive range, then.â
Nicholas chuckled. âOnce youâve found her preferences and tried looking based on them, wouldnât that help narrow it down greatly?â
She paused at his advice and thought that he made sense, so she agreed. âYouâre right. Iâll first find out her preferences and try to look around after that. That will make things much easier,â she said, looking at him happily and beaming brightly. âThank god for you. Otherwise, Iâll be stuck figuring this out.â
Nicholas had a small smile playing on his lips and appeared to be in a good mood at her praise. After that, they spoke a little longer before she hung up to rest.
The following day, Tessa went to the band carrying her violin. She was unsurprised to hear everyone discussing what to get Hathaway as a gift because her birthday was considered a big deal to them.
Especially with Hathawayâs current status, her birthday would be a big celebration when the time came.
Alas, everyone was at a loss for presents to give her.
Just then, Mona caught sight of Tessa and trotted to her. Mona intimately took her by her arm and asked, âDo you have any idea what to get Miss Hathaway?â
