Chapter 215
Alexander would perform with this violin in almost all of his performances, so this violin was extremely well-known. It was only later that the master violinist auctioned off this violin after retiring from the music scene. The violin was then bought by an anonymous buyer; it was now worth a lot of money.
Tessa never expected that Timothy would get his hands on it. Although she loved the present very much, she couldn’t help frowning. “You shouldn’t have spent so much money. I can play any old violin. Your company has only just started, so I’m sure you will need to spend on many things. Why did you buy something so expensive? What if you don’t have enough funds later?”
Timothy laughed. “You don’t need to worry about that. Just accept the gift. I know what I can do and what I cannot do. My project proposal has reached the initial stage of finalization, and I brought the materials for President Sawyer to review today. He expressed great interest in the project. That’s why you have nothing to worry about financially. I told you that I’ll take care of you and that I can make our lives better. So, I will definitely make it happen.”
The light in her eyes instantly dimmed when she heard Nicholas’ name. She didn’t even hear what Timothy said afterward.
When she suddenly fell silent, he realized that something was not quite right. She seemed to be feeling down today, so much so that she didn’t even express much excitement when she saw the famous violin. Thus, he couldn’t help feeling odd. “Tess, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
She shook her head weakly. She did not wish to tell him that she had been fired by the Sawyer Group. His career was just beginning to take flight. Moreover, he happened to be working with the Sawyer Group. Telling him about this matter would only add to his troubles.
The more he looked at her, the more he felt that his sister was being very strange today. He worriedly said, “Tess, you can share whatever troubles you are facing with me. There’s no need to suffer alone.”
She shook her head again. “It’s really nothing. It’s just that I can’t play the violin right now, so it feels like such a pity. I hope I can get better soon. That way, I can finally play this violin.”
Upon hearing her answer, he stopped thinking too much about the matter and did not suspect her again. After all, it was true that his sister had been feeling upset because of this injury all this while. Gifting this violin to her at this juncture would certainly affect her emotions negatively.
The next day, Timothy left for work very early in the morning because he had a bunch of things to do at the company.
