Chapter 545
"Because I want to train and improve myself." Tessa gave him a brief explanation of her
intentions. After Wilbur understood her plans, he contemplated for a moment before giving her
an answer. "I can keep you under probation for now, but whether or not you get to stay depends
on how good you are," he said.
"That sounds about right." Tessa agreed with his way of working; plus, she was confident with
her own skills. Wilbur could see that she had faith in herself, so he suggested that she put on a
performance right now. "It's the restaurant's peak hour now. Why don't you perform to show me
your skills?"
Tessa didn't hesitate to walk up on the stage with her violin in one hand. She wasn't nervous
once she got on stage as she simply lifted her violin to her chin before performing confidently. At
the start, there weren't many guests who paid any attention to her. However, they slowly became

stage. Tessa bowed to the guests in all directions before getting off the stage and walking to
Wilbur.
"Tessa's good, isn’t she? Everyone was so mesmerized by her music." Tessa could hear Mona
talking to Wilbur even before she made her way to them. He didn't respond to her words, but he
had to agree that Tessa was a skilled musician. Furthermore, Tessa was of oriental descent and
was a gorgeous lady to boot. He was sure that she would be able to attract customers once she
got famous. So, when Tessa walked over to them, he immediately decided to hire her.
"1 agree with our previous suggestion. Let's head to my office to discuss the performance schedule,"
he said. Tessa was overjoyed to hear the good news. After they were done arranging the schedule,
Mona and Tessa headed out. However, the skies were dark by the time they parted ways and headed
home.
When Tessa got home, she checked the time to see where Nicholas was. She knew he was probably in
the office at that hour, so she quickly called him. "I found a place that allows me to perform, Nicholas."
Then, she proceeded to tell him all that had happened that day with a cheerful tone.
Nicholas felt just as joyful when he saw the bright smile on her face. "Congratulations! You got what
you wanted." She beamed happily in response as she held onto her phone and sat on the couch while
checking up on him. "How have you and Gregory been?"
"I'm doing fine; nothing much has changed. I'm still busy with work as usual. But Gregory doesn't seem
to be doing well."
"What's up with Gregory?" The smile disappeared from Tessa's face as she looked at Nicholas
anxiously.
Nicholas chuckled when he saw her change in expression. "lie misses you really badly. He doesn't
seem to have an appetite, and he isn’t interested in doing anything." Nicholas couldn't help but sigh
when he finished his sentence. I guess this is what they mean when they say that people can be
deeply attached to one another even without being blood-related. They care so much for each other.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTessa froze for a moment before she responded with an awkward grin. She hadn't expected that to be
the reason. After all, she figured that Gregory would have gotten used to her absence after a few days.
However, he was a bundle of joy that she loved. "Why don't I give him a call later?" she suggested.
"You can call him in the afternoon tomorrow. It's getting late now, and you should get some rest."
Nicholas felt sorry for the girl when he saw the bags under her eyes.
Their calls often went on until it was past midnight for Tessa, but there was nothing much they
could do due to the time zone difference between both countries. Finally, Tessa agreed to
Nicholas's suggestion. After they ended the call, Tessa brushed her teeth and prepared for bed.
She was about to sleep when she heard someone ringing the doorbell.
"Who would come at this hour?" she mumbled to herself as she put on a jacket and headed
downstairs. When she got to the villa's entrance, she found a young girl standing outside with a
bouquet of white roses in her hand.
Tessa could recognize the girl who was standing under the streetlamp. "You're one of the
workers from the florist by the end of the road, right? Is anything the matter?" Tessa had been to
the florist once, so she could remember their staff members' uniforms.
