Nicholas glanced at Gregory, who was standing to the side and wasn't the least bit surprised that he would expose this matter.
"I wanted to give you a surprise. Isn't it better to hear it in person than hearing it through the phone?"
Tessa couldn't refute that.
It was especially so since her heart melted the moment when she heard Gordon call her 'Mommy'. It was the best sound in the world.
Besides, this was also Nicholas being thoughtful of her, which genuinely warmed her heart.
He had always been using his way to treat her well and realize his promises to her.
"Thank you. I love this surprise a lot." Then, she stood on her tiptoes and lightly kissed Nicholas on the lips.
Gregory saw that and immediately covered his eyes with one hand as the other hand went to Gordon's eyes with a shout, "Mommy! That's naughty!"
After a while, Tessa joined them for a meal before heading to the orchestra.
She arrived at Group Two's practice room as per usual.
Everyone greeted her when they saw her, "Miss Tessa is here."
"How's today's practice?" She nodded and asked for an update.
But before they could say anything, Sofia came over with Tessa's seniors in tow.
"Miss Sofia," Tessa greeted politely.
Sofia nodded and regarded the room before announcing, "Since you're all here, I'll cut to the chase. Yesterday night's performance was a great success. So, Tessa, you'll officially be Group Two's music director from now onwards. I hope you can lead them toward a brighter future."
Tessa wasn't surprised to hear that and confidently replied, "I won't let you down, Miss Sofia."
To which Sofia nodded with a satisfied look.
Then, members of Group Two gave her their good wishes. "Congratulations, Miss Tessa!"
Tessa's seniors also teased her, "Tessa, shouldn't you treat us to something since you've been promoted?"
"Yes. You should treat us to a meal!"
