Chapter 945 I Won’t Let That Bad Woman Pester Daddy
Since Tessa had to go to the orchestra later, she woke up pretty early. While the family of three shared a pleasant breakfast, Tessa reconfirmed the guest list with Nicholas. “I’ve invited Mona, my mentors, and three of my seniors.”
It wasn’t that Tessa didn’t want to invite her other seniors, but they had all left Vienna for their performances. Nicholas nodded, then said, “I have a few good friends coming over.”
At that, something seemed to have struck him, and he asked, “You didn’t invite that woman, did you?”
Naturally, Tessa knew who he was referring to, and she couldn’t help sighing. “Well, I didn’t want to invite her, but I didn’t expect her to be so shameless.”
“What happened?” He looked at Tessa with a frown.
Tessa recounted what happened a couple of days ago, “She happened to run into me inviting Miss Sofia over. I wanted to ignore her, but once she heard that the invitation was for your birthday dinner, she invited herself. Since Miss Sofia was present, it was hard for me to turn her down.”
“This woman is everywhere,” grumbled Nicholas with contempt. “Well, there’s nothing much we can do. If anything, we’ll just stay away from her tomorrow night,” Tessa advised.
As displeased as Nicholas was, he nodded still. After all, Tessa had already agreed to let Eunice come. Just then, Gregory patted his chest and promised, “Don’t worry, Mommy. I will protect Daddy and make sure that Mean Lady won’t pester him.”
The little guy didn’t know about this originally, but because Eunice kept hitting on Nicholas, word gradually spread among the orchestra, so naturally, Gregory picked up a thing or two.
Tessa burst into a chuckle, amused by the little guy’s grave face. “In that case, you have to keep a close eye on your daddy tomorrow night.”
“I will definitely protect Daddy and make sure that bad woman doesn’t pester him.” Gregory nodded firmly, causing Nicholas to smile as well.
The scene of the family chatting away was absolutely homely.
Sometime after breakfast, Tessa brought Gregory to the orchestra, but lo and behold, Sofia came over shortly after she entered the training room.
“Miss Sofia,” Gregory called out enthusiastically, and Tessa greeted Sofia amiably as well.
However, because Sofia was troubled by something, she sent the little fellow on his way for violin practice after greeting him with a nod.
Tessa noticed something amiss, and she asked, “Is something wrong, Miss Sofia?”
“Come with me,” said Sofia solemnly and walked out of the training room after taking a gander at Tessa.
Uneasiness crept up to Tessa as she followed Sofia, for she had never seen the woman this stern before.
Does it have something to do with me? she couldn’t help getting paranoid.
After the two entered Sofia’s office, Tessa couldn’t help asking, “Miss Sofia, just what exactly is going on?”
“Listen to this piece. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the one you’re composing.” While speaking, Sofia operated her computer, and a familiar tune reverberated across the office.
Tessa was so dumbstruck after hearing the music that she stood frozen on the spot, for many parts of the piece were identical to the piece she was working on.
“What’s going on?!” She looked at Sofia with incredulity.
“This is a new piece Vernon published this morning,” Sofia said gravely.
“Impossible! This piece is my original work. I spent days and nights working on every note!” Tessa turned grim at once. “Miss Sofia, this Vernon guy stole my work! I want to make a police report!”
While speaking, she pulled her phone out to call the police. However, Sofia stopped her. “It’s useless to call the police now. You have no evidence proving that he stole your work, after all.”
