Chapter 954
Always Been Yours
Chapter 954 Infatuation After all, she valued her reputation more since she was at the peak of her career. Eunice, on the other hand, was unhappy about it as she felt that Sofia was taking Tessaâs side.
Sofia didnât care about her feelings and warned her, âIf you still keep this up, donât blame me for chasing you out later on!â
After Sofia had said what she wanted to, she turned around and walked toward the dining room. Eunice was exasperated by the treatment that she received. Why does everyone like Tessa, that b*tch, so much? And whatâs wrong with all the maestros? Why are they so fond of this woman? She returned to the dining room angrily, but she still couldnât figure it out.
Just then, the doorbell rang and Sebastian went to open the door. The well-dressed Wanda was seen standing outside the door, and her eyes flickered when she heard laughter coming from inside the house.
As Sebastian looked at her, he asked her in confusion, âMay I know who you are looking for?â By the time Wanda returned home, Sebastian had already been transferred to Vienna. Thus, he hadnât met her before.
Hearing that, she furrowed her brows slightly and tried to suppress her unhappiness while smiling. âIâm here to see Nicholas. Iâm Wanda of the Muller Family.â Sebastian instantly knew who she was after hearing that.
âYou must be here for Master Nicholasâ birthday dinner. Please come in.â He then brought her to the dining room and announced, âMaster, Miss Muller is here.â
Tessa was surprised to see the beautiful Wanda standing at the doorway as she never expected her to be there.
âWhy are you here?â Nicholas frowned and looked at her coldly.
âIâve been busy all day. I specially came here to thank you since the project has been successfully negotiated,â she explained with a smile on her face before handing him a gift while she scanned the room. âIâve prepared this birthday gift for you. Happy birthday.â
As Mona stared at Wanda, she could instantly tell that she had bad intentions. She then nudged Tessa and whispered to her, âI bet this woman has her eyes on President Sawyer. You should hurry over, receive the gift from her, and let her know that you are President Sawyerâs wife!â
Tessa laughed after hearing that, but she also stood up and went over to Wanda as Nicholas seemed to be ignoring her. Since Wanda was their guest, it wouldnât be good to chase her away, especially in front of that many people.
âThank you, Miss Muller.â Tessa received the gift on behalf of Nicholas and said with a smile, âIf you donât mind, you should have something to eat before leaving.â
Wanda gladly obliged as she had purposely picked to visit at this hour so that Nicholas wouldnât be able to make her leave even if he wanted to. As she was seated, she smiled at everyone and nodded at them. Since the ones who were present were maestros of their field, they merely nodded politely and resumed their interrupted conversation. Even so, Wanda didnât feel embarrassed or out of place at all.
As Wandaâs gaze fell upon Nicholas, she couldnât hide her infatuation toward him. Maybe it was because he had had a few drinks, he exuded a lazy yet charming aura. Paired with his good looks, she couldnât pull her gaze away from him.
Just then, the maids had already set up her utensils and had poured her a glass of wine. Seeing that, she raised her glass and said, âHappy birthday, Nicholas.â
Upon hearing that, he glanced at her and nodded politely but continued to ignore her after that.
He then turned to Tessa and reminded her gently, âYou should eat more. I noticed that you havenât eaten much tonight.â
âGot it.â She smiled as his gesture made her heart warm and fuzzy. It was apparent that he had been paying attention to her the whole night. As he looked at her, he gave her a gentle smile.
Noticing that, Wanda clenched the hand which was holding onto the wine glass, looking both unhappy and jealous. She had never seen Nicholas being that gentle and caring toward anyone before. Little did she know that her expression had been noticed by Eunice, who had just come back from the washroom.
