Chapter 939 Inspiration for Nicholas’ Present
Business was business, after all. There was no reason to turn down money, wasn’t there? Besides, Eunice should pay the price for her actions.
“Alright, I can give you another chance, but I hope there won’t be a next time!” Walter, who was still upset about the loss a second ago, hurriedly nodded. “Rest assured, President Sawyer. There certainly won’t be a next time.”
That night, Eunice came home to find her father sitting on the couch, looking upset. “Daddy, who is it that upset you?” She sat on the couch across from him while speaking.
Walter, on the other hand, flipped upon seeing her. “Who else can upset me other than you?!”
“What have I done?!” Walter’s accusation baffled Eunice, for she believed she was innocent.
Seeing so, Walter cut to the chase. “Don’t pester President Sawyer ever again! Our collaboration was nearly ruined thanks to your pestering in the last two days!”
At that, he briefly recounted what had happened earlier in the day.
As upset and unwilling to yield as Eunice was, she dared not act rashly anymore after hearing it.
Sure, she was a wild one, but she still knew what was crucial.
Over the next few days, Tessa noticed Eunice had indeed quieted down and no longer pestered Nicholas.
She had a good hunch as to what her husband did, but she didn’t concern herself with it, for she had something more important to focus on.
Nicholas’ birthday was approaching in a few days, and she needed to seriously think about what to get him. However, what could she give a man who already had everything?!
For two days straight, the issue had been troubling Tessa gravely, and in the end, she decided to go to a friend for help.
She deliberately told Nicholas not to pick her up that day and headed to Louis’ manor alone with her violin.
Though she hadn’t visited lately, she had been calling and texting the man frequently, and because of that, they had gotten much closer—more than just mentor-mentee.
Louis sized Tessa up in the lavish living room amiably and complimented, “Not bad. You looked like you’ve gained a few pounds since the last time we met. I’m sure your mister has been taking very good care of you.”
“Naturally.” Tessa nodded with pride, leading Louis to chuckle to himself.
They chatted a little while longer when Louis’ butler came, announcing that dinner was ready.
With that, the two shared a delightful meal until Louis suddenly teased, “Alright, dear, you’ve had your food and also seen my face. Don’t you think it’s time you let me in on your purpose of visiting?”
“How did you guess?” asked Tessa as she rubbed her nose after a split-second stump.
“I’d like to think I know you well enough by now.” Louis looked smugly at her as though saying he had long seen through her nature.
As helpless as she was at his reaction, she still told Louis her purpose of visiting.
“Well, what do you think I should get him?” She looked expectantly at the man, who only teased, “You’re already his. Do you still need another gift?”
“Mr. Louis, I’m serious.” Tessa felt so embarrassed by the teasing that she stomped her feet, only causing Louis to guffaw.
It wasn’t until he had enough of laughing that he proposed, “Since the mister lacks for nothing, you should get him something memorable.”
“Something memorable?” Tessa mumbled with a frown.
Louis nodded in response. “You’re learning to compose with Simon, aren’t you? You can write a piece for him and even pass the music down. Anyone who hears this song in the future will think of your love story—there’s the memorable part. Also, you can listen to it again after you two grow old.”
Tessa couldn’t help picturing Louis’ description as she listened, thinking it was a brilliant idea.
At that, she decided to compose a piece about her and Nicholas as his birthday present.
However, she didn’t plan on letting him know until his birthday, so she composed the piece when she was learning from Simon.
