Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 871

Chapter 871 Upstaging the Host

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Brooks.” Tessa felt grateful even at this moment, as she felt lucky to have a friend like Scott, who had offered his help countless times ever since they first met. With concern in her tone, she asked, “How are you doing lately?”

“Me? I’m still going around performing, so the same as ever.” Scott roughly explained what he had been up to, albeit slightly grudgingly. “It hasn’t even been two days, yet I have no choice but to get back on the road.”

Looking at the man’s reluctant expression, Tessa smiled and teased him. “Mr. Brooks, you’ll only make others jealous if they hear you complaining like that. Isn’t it a good thing to be able to have a performance?”

“Of course, it’s a good thing, but I’ll get tired if I perform so often.”

“So I guess you’re the type to be happy from the pain,” Tessa said with joy in her tone as she winked playfully at Scott.

He looked at Tessa’s smile that was as pleasant looking as a flower field in the spring, a hint of sentimentality flashing across his eyes. Sadly, Tessa didn’t take notice of Scott’s brief expression. After she was done joking around with him, she then wished him good luck from the bottom of her heart. “I hope your performances will go well.”

“Thank you.”

After that, the two of them discussed music as two normal friends. Throughout their discussion, Gregory behaved himself as he sat beside Tessa.

Some time passed when a customer entered the restaurant. It turned out to be Susan.

Back when Susan was still Kathleen, she was a regular customer of this restaurant. Today, she came here on a whim and did not expect to find Tessa and Scott here. Looking at the two of them happily talking with one another, she turned upset, a gloom look coming over her eyes. However, she managed to suppress her anger almost immediately before she went over to them with an eager smile.
