Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 456

Timothy had also noticed Tessa and the warm, gentle expression on her face. He immediately rushed over to embrace his sister.
Cheerfully, Tessa hugged her brother back as well.
It was only after a few moments did the two break their embrace.
Recalling how panicked he was during the morning, Timothy reprimanded, “Don’t ever do this again. Do you know how worried I was when Nicholas called me in the morning and told me that he couldn’t get a hold of you?”
“Oh come on, I only wanted to give you guys a surprise.” Tessa stuck her tongue out, albeit looking somewhat apologetic.
Timothy shot a look at her, exasperated. “This isn’t a surprise; this is clearly what I call a bombshell.”
“Alright, I get it. I won’t do it this way next time.”
“What do you mean next time?”
“Er, anymore. I absolutely won’t do this anymore.”
Tessa quickly apologized and started appeasing her brother’s anger upon realizing that Timothy seemed to be really angry this time.
When Timothy’s anger seemed to have slightly subsided by Tessa’s repeated assurance, he asked, “Have you told Nicholas that you’re back? He didn’t get any sleep last night when he couldn’t reach you and is still worried about you until now.”
Hearing that Nicholas lost sleep over how worried he was about herself, Tessa started to feel a little guilty.
She rubbed her nose in embarrassment before sheepishly saying, “I haven’t told him yet.”
“Why not?” Timothy frowned before coming to a realization. “Did you plan to surprise him as well?”
Tessa nodded before smiling at him. “I know I might have been slightly out of line. But, now that I’ve come this far, I have to take this all the way, right?”
Somehow, Timothy was persuaded by his sister, which led to him cooperating with her in surprising Nicholas.
In the president’s office of the Sawyer Group.
Nicholas’ emotions were all over the place as he was so distracted by his worries for Tessa that he wasn’t able to get anything done.
If only there weren’t all these complications, I would have immediately taken a flight to Vienna.
Timothy should be on the plane right now, right?
He gazed at the azure sky beyond the window, his thoughts slowly drifting further and further.
Some time passed before the intercom by his desk rang. Nicholas answered the intercom to find the caller was Edward.
“President Sawyer, Timothy is here to see you.”
“Shouldn’t he be onboard a plane right now? Why did he come over here?” Although he was taken aback, he agreed to the meeting.
Downstairs, Timothy led Tessa—who was dressed as his secretary—into the Sawyer Group.
Because this was Tessa’s first visit to the Sawyer Group, she was overwhelmed with curiosity as she looked around while sighing to herself endlessly.
Just as expected of the number one company in the country. With black and white as the theme of the interior design, it gives off a luxurious yet subtle atmosphere.
Even the receptionist looks professional and competent. It definitely makes one feel comfortable with how motivated the receptionist was.
Once the siblings had entered the elevator, Timothy’s eyes showed signs of resignation as he took a glance at his sister, who was full of excitement.
However, he couldn’t resist laughing when he thought about what was going to happen next. “I think Nicholas will probably get a heart attack when he sees you.”
“No he won’t. He’ll only be happy,” Tessa replied heartily before fixing her appearance with the mirror in the elevator. “Tim, help check if my makeup is okay.”
She tidied up her clothing and her hair before turning around in place for Timothy to check on her appearance.
Per his sister’s request, Timothy examined his slightly nervous sister from top to bottom.
Though he had said that Tessa was his secretary so that she would be allowed entry into the Sawyer Group, she was still dressed in her usual outfit.
She was wearing a sky blue long-sleeved lace waisted dress, which revealed her long legs, and was rocking a pair of seven centimeters high heels. Her outfit exuded young femininity yet still had a touch of elegance to it. To conclude, she was definitely pleasing to the eye.
“No problems here,” Timothy replied after turning his attention forward to the elevator door. He then joked, “Even if there’s a problem, I’m sure Nicholas would fix the problem.”
Listening to what her brother was implying, Tessa blushed with her cheeks turning warm.
“Looks like you’re asking for a fight by teasing your sister that way.” She feigned annoyance and lightly punched him at his shoulder.
Timothy apologized while laughing heartily.
Just as he noticed that they were about to reach the highest floor, he spoke up. “I’m telling you now: I’m only going to lead you until the area outside of Nicholas’ office door.”
