Chapter 612
After hearing Janet’s command, her subordinate frowned with disapproval.
“Jan, the mission this time is perilous. You—”.
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by her angrily, “Kaiden, this is my command. Are you going to disobey my command?”
“No,” he quickly denied. In the end, he could only accept the order reluctantly.
When she saw that he had accepted her orders, she said coldly, “After you find out who Nicholas Sawyer’s fiancée is, report it to me immediately.”
I would like to know who this woman is that has the guts to fight over a man with me! she thought…
After she spat out those words, she strode to the driver’s seat and drove away.
Meanwhile, Nicholas was in the dark about everything that was happening on Janet’s side. However, he had set her to the back of his mind very quickly because not long after she left, Tessa made a video call to him.
In the call, Nicholas gazed at the girl who was still flushed from just washing up, and affection crept over his eyes, shimmering with gentleness.
“How’s rehearsal today?”
“It was good today. Nobody made a mistake, and Miss Hathaway even praised us.”
On the other end, Tessa was plopped in bed on her stomach in a comfortable position as she shared with him about what happened at the band today.
Nicholas felt that his heart filled with warmth and love as he listened to her soft voice.
In the end, Tessa looked at the handsome man in the call and pouted her lips, sulking, “What should I do? It’s only been a day since you and Greg left, but I already miss you guys.”
“It’s difficult for me, too. Without you by my side at night, I have the feeling that something is missing,” he said, telling her how much he missed her in his husky voice
When she listened to his sweet nothings in his deep voice, she felt the melancholy in her heart gradually disappear and was replaced by happiness.
They chatted for a while until Tessa suddenly remembered something. “It’s Miss Hathaway’s birthday soon. What do you think I should get her as a present?”
“Do you have a general idea?”
“At first, I thought about giving her a violin, but I thought I could do better. A person of Miss Hathaway’s current status wouldn’t be lacking in violins from the mid to high-end range. But I can’t afford it if it’s something a little more expensive,” she said with a helpless shrug.
An expensive, precious violin could easily cost millions, and it wasn’t something she could afford at all.
Although she could ask her brother or Nicholas to help pay for it, she didn’t want to do something like this, and her pride wouldn’t allow it, either.
Nicholas could piece together what was going on in her mind as she was an open book to him, so he didn’t offer to help her financially.
After he pondered over the matter, he gave her a pertinent suggestion. “Since you have no idea yet and there’s still time left, why don’t you ask around your bandmates to find out Miss Hathaway’s preferences? Based on those preferences, you can then give her a meaningful gift.”
Even though she thought he had a point, she still felt vexed.
“Something that’s meaningful and has a high collection value… That’s an extensive range, then.”
Nicholas chuckled. “Once you’ve found her preferences and tried looking based on them, wouldn’t that help narrow it down greatly?”
She paused at his advice and thought that he made sense, so she agreed. “You’re right. I’ll first find out her preferences and try to look around after that. That will make things much easier,” she said, looking at him happily and beaming brightly. “Thank god for you. Otherwise, I’ll be stuck figuring this out.”
Nicholas had a small smile playing on his lips and appeared to be in a good mood at her praise. After that, they spoke a little longer before she hung up to rest.
The following day, Tessa went to the band carrying her violin. She was unsurprised to hear everyone discussing what to get Hathaway as a gift because her birthday was considered a big deal to them. Especially with Hathaway’s current status, her birthday would be a big celebration when the time came.
Alas, everyone was at a loss for presents to give her.
Just then, Mona caught sight of Tessa and trotted to her. Mona intimately took her by her arm and asked, “Do you have any idea what to get Miss Hathaway?”
