Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 608

Chapter 607
As Lacob expected. Hayley was wavered by the last thing he said. If she were given a chance, she would definitely like to take care of Tossa, that bitch herself!
Nevertheless, Tessa was in the dark about all of these, and after Nicholas was gone, she packed her davs full to the point that she had asked for several days of leave consecutively in order to better rehearse with her bandmates.
One afiernoon while everyone was taking a break, Mona came to look for Tessa.
She directly took a seat beside Tessa as she asked, “Tessa, my cousin would like to ask if you’ll still be performing at the restaurant.”
Tessa didn’t give her an immediate response. In fact, she was also considering whether she should continue with her performance at the restaurant. But, on the other hand, she didn’t have that much ume to spare anymore.
“Mona, if possible, I would like to resign from this job. As you know, I’m busy with rehearsals every day and don’t have the energy to perform at your cousin’s workplace.”
Surprisingly, Mona nodded in understanding before she continued, “It’s fine. I’m just asking on his behalf. He could already guess your answer, but he just feels it’s a shame. So, he told me a second option and wants to know what you think about it.”
“What is it?” she asked, looking at her good friend quizzically.
“If you’re agreeable, Wilbur said that you can change your performance timings to a few times in a month, and your wages will still be the same. He even said that a few guests were waiting in vain for you for days,” she said truthfully and couldn’t help but burst into a giggle at the end of her sentence.
For some unknown reason, she felt pity for those guests.
Tessa giggled along as well, feeling a sense of achievement. Wasn’t it a recognition of her talent that she was able to make the guests fall in love with her music?
After some consideration, she answered, “If Wilbur is alright with this idea, then I’m fine with it as well.”
“That’s more than he could ask for. Of course, he’s okay with it.” Then, she stood up and waved goodbye at Tessa. “Conunue with your practice. I’ll relay your answer to him.”
That night after rehearsal, Tessa planned to make a trip to the restaurant lo apologize to Wilbur personally. After all, he had taken good care of her when she started performing at the restaurant.
When Wilbur found out the reason behind her visit, he chuckled nonchalantly. “It’s fine. This is not a big deal.”
“Even so, I still have to apologize to you. The original agreement was a performance every day, but it became once every two days, and now, it’s a few times a month. I feel terrible about it.”
“You don’t have to take all these to heart. Speaking of which, our restaurant is the one that benefited from you. Now, our business is getting better, and there are even many foreign guests who came here because of you,” Wilbur said, sharing the current situation of the restaurant with her.
Aliuie surprised, Tessa didn’t even think that foreign guests would be coming because of her.
Seeing the surprised look on her, Wilbur laughed and said, “What? You don’t believe me?”
“I just think it’s a little exaggerated.”
“Not at all. In the afternoon, after Mona told me that you’re willing to come a few times a month, I discussed it with the owner, planning to make the tables on days when you’re performing as reservations only. This idea turned out to be a big hit, and the tables were all booked within an hour.”
After listening to him, Tessa was even more stunned, but she quickly felt calm about it.
Then, they spoke for a little longer, and he suddenly said with a smile, “Since you’re already here today, would you like to perform a song as well? A lot of people are waiting for you outside.”
Since I’m already here, I’ll perform tonight, she thought. “I’ll have to trouble you to arrange a time for my performance, Wilbur.”
Wilbur grinned so hard that there were wrinkles on his face. “No trouble at all. I’ll get it done right away,” he said and quickly left the office as though he was worried that Tessa would go back on her word.
