    Besides, he had obviously asked that for his brother‘s sake.


    Forget it. I‘m aware of Nichs‘ temper, and I‘m not allowed to talk about personal matters during office


    hours, especially if they are rted to him.


    Kieran was also the one who had said all that nonsense and agitated him.


    He dared not dawdle anymore, so he quickly reported the progress of his work.


    After Nichs finished listening, he nodded slightly. “You did a good job handling this matter. There‘s


    one more thing that I need you to do. There‘s a social event tonight. Go on behalf of me.”


    “But, Nichs, I... All right. I‘ll be sure to handle it well. There won‘t be any problems.”


    As soon as Kieran was about toin, he received an unbelievably cold look from his brother. Fine.


    I‘ll just go. It‘s just socializing.


    As for why Nichs couldn‘t go on his own, he dared not ask. In the end, he could only leave his office,


    looking aggrieved.


    After getting off work, Nichs didn‘t go home, but drove to Regal Gardens instead.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    After parking the car, Nichs couldn‘t help frowning. Even he didn‘t know why he hade here.


    Obviously, that woman had already made her intentions clear. She didn‘t want to have anything to do


    with Sawyer Group, so what was he doing here?


    But, as soon as he thought of Tessa being with other men, he felt panicked and a little empty inside,


    even a little miserable...


    When he met her in the restaurant the other day, his anger emerged from nowhere when he saw her


    acting indifferent when facing him despite talking andughing with the man.


    Although she had already made herself clear before this, how could she be so happy with another


    person so quickly?


    He didn‘t believe that Tessa didn‘t see Gregory or his injured expression, yet she pretended not to


    know him, which was simply too cruel.


    Nichs looked up at the direction of Tessa‘s room, where the light was still turned off. It‘s already so


    late, but she‘s not home yet... What the hell is she doing?


    Irritated, he took out a cigarette, got out of the car, then leaned against the tree on the side of the road.


    After lighting up the cigarette, he felt much better after inhaling once.


    Suddenly, the sound of people talking sounded in front of him, causing his eyes to freeze.


    He saw Tessa walking in the direction of her home while carrying a violin, and there was a man beside


    her. This man was none other than Scott.


    It‘s that man again. Nichs‘ eyes turned gloomy in an instant as he stared at the two people who were


    walking leisurely, talking andughing along the way.


    Tessa stopped at the bottom of her building, then looked at Scott and said, “Thank you for sending me


    back today.”


    “You don‘t have to be so courteous. It‘s along the way.”


    Scott gave Tessa a gentle smile as always.


    All of a sudden, Tessa shuddered as she felt a cool sensation on her back, as if someone was watching


    her, so she couldn‘t help but look in that direction.


    However, after turning back, she saw nothing except street lights and trees. There wasn‘t even a single


    pedestrian on the road.


    Seeing that she suddenly turned to look behind, Scott turned as well, then said strangely, “What‘s the


    matter?”


    “It‘s nothing.”


    Tessa shook her head. It might just be that it was getting cold. She was probably thinking too much.


    This was a high–end residential area, so visitors would have to register before entering. Naturally, no


    one would be randomly allowed entry.


    “Well, I‘m home,” Tessa said.


    Scott nodded. “Okay, I‘ll go first, then. Good night. See you tomorrow.”


    “Good night. See you tomorrow.”


    Tessa stood under the streemp and watched Scott leave, then turned and went upstairs.


    Seeing that the two of them had parted ways, Nichs extinguished his cigarette and trailed behind


    Tessa as they walked into the building together.


    After Tessa entered the elevator, she heard the peculiar tter of leather shoes against the marble


    floor. Then, she thought of the fact that she felt someone watching her earlier, so she was frightened


    and was about to close the elevator doors when she saw a hand stopping the elevator doors from


    closing.
