Chapter 953 He Should Be Hers
Everyone laughed when they saw how adorable Gregory was. Jenny and the others tried the dishes and were impressed by how good it tasted. “It’s delicious.”
“Tessa, you’re not only talented at playing the violin, you’re so good at cooking too. It makes me look bad!” “Now, I’m envious of Mr. Sawyer for having a good wife like Tessa.”
All of them couldn’t stop praising Tessa. “You guys flatter me. I’m just mediocre.” Tessa’s face blushed red as she listened to their praises.
“Tessa, you’re being too humble. The dishes taste amazing.” Louis took another bite as he spoke.
Everyone nodded in agreement and were all praises for her dishes except Eunice. She didn’t think that it was that good after taking a bite, but of course, she couldn’t speak her mind in front of everyone.
Soon, the dishes on the table were running out. Noticing that, Tessa immediately got the chef to prepare some tapas. Everyone got along well as the room was filled with laughter and chatter throughout the meal.
Nicholas took good care of everyone and felt like he had known Tessa’s seniors since forever although they had just met. He could join in their conversation no matter the topic and could provide his perspective on them.
“President Sawyer, you’re so knowledgeable.”
“Yeah, I initially thought that President Sawyer wouldn’t know much about music and art, but it seems like I was being narrow-minded.”
“President Sawyer must have learned about it for Tessa.” Marjorie pointed it out.
Hearing that, Nicholas acquiesced to Marjorie’s remarks as he smiled. Because of that, Nicholas had left a good impression on Tessa’s seniors. Soon, the topic shifted from arts and music to business, which was Nicholas’ forte. When Marjorie heard him speak about business, he suddenly recalled the business that he had.
“President Sawyer, I have a few questions about running a business and would like to get some pointers from you.”
“Sure.” Nicholas didn’t reject him and was all ears as he listened to the issues that Marjorie was facing.
After giving it some thought, Nicholas suggested, “Although I’ve not been in that field before, the principle remains the same. You can try doing it this way…” With that, Nicholas gave him a few suggestions.
Upon listening to Nicholas’ suggestions, Marjorie was suddenly enlightened and praised him, “President Sawyer, you’re amazing! This issue has been on my mind for the longest time, but you could easily solve it.” Nicholas smiled and they moved on to another topic.
Although Eunice didn’t cause any trouble, her gaze was constantly on Nicholas. Her infatuation toward him had gotten deeper when she saw how confident he was when he spoke and was able to carry any conversations very well. She felt that someone as perfect as him should be hers!
On the other hand, Mona and two of Tessa’s female seniors listened when the men spoke and winked at Tessa. “Tessa, we’re so envious of you.”
During dinner, Eunice joined the conversation too, but she didn’t give up on trying to interact with Nicholas. However, he would just ignore her no matter what she said. Tessa would also do the same, which enraged Eunice.
Sofia, who was observing from the side, was mad when she saw how Eunice had crossed the line and followed behind Eunice when she went to the washroom. In the corridor, Eunice noticed Sofia’s grim expression. It made her heart sink as she had a bad feeling about what was to come.
Sure enough, the next second, Sofia stopped her and reprimanded, “What’s wrong with you tonight? Are you trying to ruin the dinner like how you did last time?”
“I’m not.” Eunice denied.
Sofia didn’t believe her words and continued reprimanding her, “Tessa is hosting a dinner tonight, and those attending are the seniors within this field. Put your ego away this instant! Don’t you feel embarrassed?” Although Sofia seemed calm on the outside when Louis mocked her, deep inside, she was furious about it.
