Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 714

Chapter 714 Tessa’s Secret Admirer

After all, the person, who initially wanted the classic literature, was only willing to pay no more than five million for the book, thinking that was only so much it was worth. Therefore, Tessa became the eventual buyer, who would be the classic literature’s new owner.

When the auction was over, she confronted the staff members and got her hands on her prize. She then carefully kept it and smiled at Scott in gratitude. “Thank you so much for taking me here tonight. If it weren’t for you, I would still be scratching my head, wondering what I should buy for someone’s birthday present.”

“It’s not a big deal, actually. You helped me a lot too when I needed you.” Scott reacted to Tessa with a gentle look, but deep down, he didn’t like her politeness in front of him, deeming her overly courteous.

However, Tessa didn’t know what was on the man’s mind as she was relieved to have taken care of what had been bothering her. She then decided to treat Scott to supper as a token of appreciation for his company throughout the night. On the other hand, Scott, who wanted to spend more time with her, of course, agreed to her suggestion.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they began to chat happily during their enjoyable meal. Since both of them were violinists, most of their topics revolved around music. For that, Tessa consulted Scott for guidance, asking him for help, particularly about some methods to improve her techniques when playing the violin.

“Well, your finger placements will get better and more precise with practice, but there is no way you can rush it. Furthermore, your current level is more than enough for you to play the violin, so just take it easy.” Upon answering Tessa’s question, Scott went on to remind her to take care of her fingers. “Besides, you might want to do your finger a favor by giving them some treatment or remedy every time you’re done with your training, otherwise they’re going to hurt over time.”

“Yeah, I’m aware of that, which is why I always massage them when I’m done with my practice.” Tessa nodded with a smile.

Soon, they unknowingly changed their subject and talked about Kathleen as their conversation went on. “I heard Kathleen has been at odds with you lately. What’s going on between you both?”

“Well, there is actually nothing wrong between us, but I guess the reason she opposes me is that she has a crush on you. After all, you and I are friends, but she won’t have it at all.” Tessa appeared to be helpless when she talked about Kathleen.

While Scott knitted his eyebrows and frowned at Kathleen’s unpleasant attitude, Tessa was prompted by her curiosity to ask the former about his feelings for Kathleen. “Anyway, don’t you feel the same way for her, Mr. Brooks?”

Scott gazed at the curious lady and shook his head. “Well, as much as I’d like to spend time with the person I’m in love with, Kathleen is just a friend to me. For that, we’re not meant to be together,” he said, looking sentimentally at Tessa, but the lady failed to notice anything unusual with the man’s gaze.
