Always Been Yours Chapter 541
Being the violin fanatic that Louis was, he had quite some violin-related knowledge. Tessa learned a lot from their discussion, and she eventually ended the conversation by thanking him. “I learned a lot today. I’ll have to buy you guys a meal to thank you, guys.”
“That’s line. I don’t like eating out.” Louis waved his hand to reject her before making a playful comment.
“I think you can buy Angus a meal instead.”
Although Tessa was disappointed with Louis’s rejection, she didn’t show it on her face. Instead, she turned to look at Angus. “That would be my honor,” Angus said with a faint smile. He pulled out a black- and-gold name card before handing it to Tessa. She saw his name and phone number embossed in gold when she took it.
“You can contact me whenever you’re free,” Angus spoke in his soothing and pleasant voice. She nodded and kept his name card away. Then, after she sat for a while more, she excused herself politely.
Angus had initially offered to send her home, but she declined his offer. Once she was back at the villa, the skies outside had already turned dark. Tessa prepared a simple dinner for herself before heading upstairs to shower and brush her teeth. After she finally cleaned everything up, she hastily gave Nicholas a video call.
“The violin has been fixed. It sounds just like it did before!” She told him the good news about the violin. He watched her attentively while smiling into the camera. “Are you happy?”
“Of course. I’m so happy!” She grinned. Then, she recalled how Nicholas was the one who had introduced her to Louis. “Coming to think of it, the person I’ll have to thank the most is you. If you hadn’t introduced Mr. Louis to me, my violin wouldn’t have been able to return to its original state,” she professed excitedly.
Nicholas didn’t comment on her words. Instead, he teased her when he saw the bright smile on her face. “I told you 1 don’t like it when you just say thank you to me. You should show your appreciation with your actions as well.”
“Action?” She froze for a moment before smiling. “1’11 buy you some good food once I’m back, then.”
“I don’t know how long it’ll take until you’re back. I don’t want to wait for that long,” he muttered while shaking his head. “If you really want to thank me, you should do it now.”
“Now? What can 1 do now?” She stared at him confusedly as he eyed her playfully. “There’s a lot that
you can do.” For some reason, certain images popped up in Tessa’s mind when she saw the look on the guy’s face, and her cheeks turned into the color of a tomato.
“I never expected you to be this sort of person. It feels like I’ve never known you at all.” She eyed him angrily.
Nicholas could tell that she was thinking about dirty stuff, and his eyes lit up in amusement, although he tried his best to maintain a straight face. “What did I do? I was just hinting at you to see if you would perform for me.”
“Perform? So, are you asking me to perform for you?” She stared at him awkwardly, utterly embarrassed by all the dirty thoughts in her mind.
He pretended as if he didn’t know what she was thinking about. “Yeah. Would you do that for me?”
“Of course.” She let out a slight cough before placing the phone by the table and standing in the middle of the hall. As she began to perform, a soothing and romantic melody sounded in the room. When Nicholas saw the girl, who was full of confidence, a tender look surfaced in his eyes. Then, after the song ended, he applauded and praised her performance. “You’re getting better and better. I really look forward to the day you get the recognition you deserve.”
Tessa beamed happily upon hearing his words.
Although his praise made her feel warm on the inside, it also reminded her of the reality she had been avoiding. She had no choice but to contemplate that matter right then.
“What is it?” Nicholas asked when he saw the gloomy look on the girl’s face. She held her phone and rested her head on the table before telling him about what she had been thinking. “I realized that I’ve been practicing almost every day, but I don’t have much of a chance to perform,” she uttered dejectedly.
