Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 577

Chapter 577
Tessa intended to personally inform Louis the good news of her passing the assessment.
Regardless, it was all thanks to Louis’ bar that she was able to progress well during this period.
After arriving at the manor, Tessa was taken to Louis’ workshop by the servants of the manor.
The workshop was spacious and well-lit. There were a lot of violin repairing materials being placed in an orderly manner in the workshop.
Louis sat by the window, wearing a pair of glasses. He was repairing a violin while facing the sunlight.
When he heard the sound of footsteps, he asked without raising his head, “Isn’t today the day of your assessment? Why did you come here and find me?”
“The assessment is over, and I wanted to inform you of the results.”
As Tessa spoke, she retracted her wandering gaze. Then, she walked up to Louis with her lips curling up into a smile. “I got first place in the assessment, and I have been appointed by Miss Hathaway to be the principal violinist of the second orchestra group.”

“First place? That’s very good. Well deserved, I must say.” Louis was not surprised at all. It seemed that he had already expected such an outcome.
After that, he continued with the violin-repairing task on hand.
Upon seeing that, Tessa did not mind either. Smiling like a Cheshire, she expressed her gratitude toward Louis. “Thank you.”
Once she finished thanking him, she could not but ask again, “Can I still drop by the bar in the future?”
“The bar always welcomes your visit.” Louis did not reject her.
Upon hearing that, Tessa smiled even wider.
It was just that before she could speak again, Louis’ urging voice sounded in her ears.
“Okay. You have delivered the good news. Leave if you have no other business here. You’re blocking my light by staying here.”
“I’ll give way to the light, then.” Tessa obediently stepped aside. She did not feel like leaving yet as she wanted to watch how Louis usually repaired the violin. I want to observe and learn.
Although Louis had a quirky temperament, Tessa still felt that he was a good person after getting along with him for a while.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Louis saw Tessa standing beside him obediently and sensibly. Therefore, he raised head and asked while raising his eyebrows, “Do you have anything else that you wish to discuss with me?”
“No, I just wanted to watch how you repair the violin.” Tessa did not hide her intention from Louis, and she looked back at him with a gentle smile.
Louis was speechless. “What’s there for you to see?”
“Well, it may not be a big deal for you. But I’ve never seen it before, so I’m very curious. Please let me stay and watch.”
“Kid, why are you so annoying?”
As he looked at the girl playing cute and looking at him expectantly, Louis rolled his eyes out of annoyance. However, he did not chase her away.
Upon seeing this, Tessa came to Louis’ side with a smile. She helped handing over the materials and said with a smile, “I was thinking that I might be able to lend you a hand in the future if I ever mastered it.”
“You?” Louis snorted coldly. Then, he looked Tessa up and down. With a disdainful look in his eyes, he added, “You not causing any trouble for me is a blessing to me.”
After he spoke, he ignored Tessa. Lowering his head, he continued to repair the violin.
Despite being despised, Tessa did not mind.
Without affecting Louis from carrying out his task, Tessa stood by the side and watched.
That was because she knew that was Louis’ speaking style. This is Mr. Louis. He’s a person whose bark is worse than his bite.
That afternoon, Tessa stayed in the manor.
Meanwhile, Louis directly ordered her around like she was his assistant without scruple.
For a moment, he asked Tessa to look for the materials. Then, in the following moment, he asked Tessa to run errands for him. Anyway, they were all tedious matters.
Even so, Tessa also gladly helped him out.
Looking at the proactive girl, Louis was powerless. In the end, he allowed Tessa to stay and learn from him.
In a short amount of time, Tessa learned a lot of simple violin repairing knowledge.
After dinner, she bade Louis goodbye as she saw that it was getting dark outside.
“It’s getting late. I should go back.”
“Hurry up and go. Finally, my peace and zen is restored.”
Although the words spoken were unpleasant, the smile on Louis’ face was very loving.
Since Tessa had also become accustomed to his speaking style, she simply smiled sweetly and
said, “Alright. I will come and visit you again another day.”
With that, she turned and left.
Due to the location of the manor being a bit remote, Tessa had to walk a long way to get a cab.
However, it did not cross Tessa’s mind that several burly men would suddenly appear in front of her just as she walked to an empty corner. While holding knives in their hands, they seemed to have been waiting for her.
