Chapter 935 To Sawyer Group
“When did you come out? Why didn’t you call and tell me to carry your stuff?” Nicholas disregarded Eunice entirely and went up to Tessa, taking her violin case from her in a natural manner.
Tessa, too, pretended to not have seen Eunice and smiled at Nicholas. “It’s just a few feet away. Besides, the case isn’t heavy at all.”
Eunice, on the other hand, thought the picture of the loving couple was exceptionally blinding as jealousy surged within her.
What does Tessa have that I don’t?! How can she have Nicholas treating her so gently?!
Since she couldn’t stand it anymore, she cleared her throat coyly and said, “Tessa, how can you not even say hi when I’ve been standing here all day? To think Miss Sofia always praises you for being courteous.”
“Oh, you’re still here, Eunice.” Tessa looked at Eunice with feigned surprise, then smiled half-heartedly and said curtly, “I’m so sorry. I thought you’d walk away with guilt when you saw me approaching.”
It was obvious that she was insinuating Eunice for her wantonness and desire to seduce Nicholas repeatedly.
Naturally, Eunice understood her implication and flew into a rage out of humiliation.
However, because Nicholas was present, she could only swallow her raging anger.
After all, she knew this man would surely shield the wench named Tessa. Other than that, she had to keep her father’s collaboration in mind.
It was Tessa who was surprised by Eunice’s behavior. But then, it dawned on her pretty quickly that the woman probably wanted to keep a positive image in front of Nicholas.
Disgust surged within her as the thought crossed her mind, and she didn’t want to stay another second longer. “If there’s nothing else, Eunice, we’ll be taking our leave.”
With that, she led Nicholas and Gregory to the car, not caring if Eunice had something to say.
“What did Eunice say to you just now?” she couldn’t help asking during their journey home.
Nicholas smiled faintly at the sight of his jealous wife. Of course, he wouldn’t hide it from her and recounted, “Her father came to the company yesterday to propose a collaboration. I thought it looked decent, so I had my team make an evaluation. She must’ve heard about it and decided to cotton up to me.”
At that, he took a purposeful glance at Tessa but couldn’t make out her expression. He continued after some thinking, seemingly worried that his beloved wife would get upset. “If it upsets you, I can drop the collaboration.”
Stumped, Tessa shook her head. “It’s fine. This is work, and business is business. There’s no need to screw it up just because of personal reasons.”
“Alright.” Nicholas nodded and let her in on his plan. “I’ll hand the project to the managing director here once it’s finalized. I won’t get involved.”
The following morning, Walter glanced at Eunice during breakfast and asked, “We have a document we need to deliver to Sawyer Group later. Do you want to go?”
“Of course!” Eunice exclaimed without a second thought as her eyes twinkled, and she asked for leave with the orchestra the next second.
An hour later, she arrived at Sawyer Group in tight-fitting office wear with her father’s employees.
Many of the Sawyer Group employees noticed her the second she appeared, for she was exceptionally striking.
Her tight-fitting office wear showed off her curvaceous body perfectly. Coupled with her delicate makeup, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say she was a bombshell.
“That woman seriously has a body that makes every woman envious.”
“I wonder who she works for.”
“What, are you thinking of wooing her?”
Although they were whispering, many of them were talking about Eunice, after all. As such, the woman heard a thing or two. Realizing they were all praises, she couldn’t stop her lips from curving upward.
Well, these people have better taste than their boss.
As her mind wandered, she and the team arrived at the front desk.
After going through the necessary procedures, the receptionist escorted them to the antechamber.
“Please hold on for a moment. Our managing director will arrive shortly.”
With that, the receptionist closed the door behind politely and left.
Meanwhile, Eunice pulled out some makeup products from her bag for a touch-up, assuming that the managing director was Nicholas.
