Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544

Right then, a baby-faced girl smiled as she made a suggestion. "I know a place we can go. I can bring you there after we're done with dinner," she said.

"Really?” Tessa was elated. "Thank you so much, Mona."

"You don’t have to be so polite. We're friends, aren’t we?'" Mona feigned an angry look to tease Tessa. Mona and Tessa got along well during their orchestra practices and had been friends for a while.

"Once I get the job, I'll buy you a feast. How docs that sound?” Tessa said with a chuckle.

Mona didn’t have many other hobbies as she only enjoyed the violin and having delicious food. So, when she heard that she would get to enjoy a feast, the fake angry persona she had on melted from her face instantly. "Don't forget what you said. I'm going to note this down," Mona announced with a gleam in her eyes.

"Yes, yes. I mean what I said. Everyone else can bear witness to my words," Tessa replied.

The other colleagues giggled. "We'll all keep this in mind for you, Mona. We'll help you out if Tessa tries to change her mind."

Mona chuckled. "It seems like I just got myself a free meal," she announced excitedly.

All of them were amused by how happy she seemed over food as they enjoyed their meal. After that, the rest of the colleagues bid goodbye to Tessa and Mona while they both hopped on a cab to travel to some high-end restaurant in town.

Once they arrived, Mona dragged Tessa out of the car to present the restaurant as if it were some limited­edition product. "Ta-dah! How does it look? This place is pretty high-classed, isn't it?" Tessa eyed the restaurant before her eyes. She had to agree that the restaurant looked pretty exclusive. When she looked through the windows, she could tell that the place was packed. The staff members were spread out all over each corner of the restaurant and dressed in the same uniform.

"Come on. Let's go in." Before Tessa could finish observing the restaurant, Mona excitedly dragged her into the building.

"Hello! Is your manager here? I'm his cousin. Can you tell him to come out?" Mona immediately introduced herself to one of the waiters when she entered.

Tessa was somewhat surprised to hear this—she hadn't expected Mona to be related to the manager of that restaurant. Due to Mona's close relationship with the manager, the staff invited them directly to the office.

When they walked in, Tessa saw a young and smart- looking man. He was dressed in a suit and had a rather large-built. His hair was blonde, and he looked pretty handsome and outgoing. "This is my colleague, Tessa Reinhart." Mona introduced them to each other.

"Tessa, this is my cousin, Wilbur."

"Hello, Miss Reinhart." A charming grin spread across Wilbur's face as he stepped forward to greet Tessa, and his brown eyes seemed to size her up as he approached her.

Tessa was dressed in a pastel purple dress along with a beige-colored windbreaker that day. She had let down her black hair and put on some light makeup—this made her seem casual but elegant at the same time. She gave off'a somewhat sophisticated aura that made it hard for others to take their eyes off her.

She could sense the man observing her, but she merely nodded before greeting him. "It's nice to meet you."

Wilbur had a pretty good first impression of Tessa as he invited the girls to sit on the couch.
