Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 946

Chapter 946 Stolen Work

At that, Tessa growled with gnashed teeth, “But that’s my work!” “Calm down, Tessa,” Sofia comforted her, seeing how upset she got.

“I can’t.” Tessa clenched her fists as anger burned ablaze beneath her eyes. This was her present for Nicholas, something that she poured her blood, sweat, and heart into. But now, it was in someone else’s hands for some reason.

Sofia could relate to Tessa, but she still tried to talk some sense into the young woman. “I know you’re very upset right now, but the guy who stole your piece is no simple man. The usual police route will have nothing on him.”

“Why is that so?” Tessa looked at her mentor with bewilderment. “That’s because this isn’t his first rodeo,” Sofia explained. “However, since no one has evidence to prove him guilty, he remains unscathed until today despite his discredit in the industry.”

“Even so, I have to get my piece back!” Tessa looked at Sofia, determined. Sofia naturally supported her. “Of course, but right now, the most important thing is to figure out how it landed in his hands. It’s only then we’ll find the evidence to prove that he stole your work.”

Tessa thought Sofia was right. But then again…

“I don’t even know that guy. How is it that he can get my piece?”

“Who exactly has knowledge of this piece?” Sofia asked after some thinking. “Just you, me, and Mr. Simon,” Tessa answered honestly.

Sofia shook her head in response. “In that case, someone has clearly learned of the piece without your knowledge.”

At that, she paused for a second, seemingly struck with a thought, and she looked at Tessa. “Where did you keep your manuscript?”

“I’ve left it at home until these past two days, where I kept it in the desk drawer of the practice room because of practice…” While speaking, Tessa figured out where Sofia was going with this, and she turned grim, for it was very likely someone in the orchestra had stolen her manuscript!

Sofia looked at Tessa’s awful countenance, but she honestly didn’t want to think that a misdeed like this would happen in her orchestra.

At that, she said with a solemn gaze, “Go and look for your manuscript first.”
