    Chapter 647 Still Outstanding


    Nichs didn’t know what was going on in J’s mind. But, he could tell that J looked much


    better than she did the day before and that she was in higher spirits. So, he simply nodded and gave


    her some orders. “Since you’re feeling better, you should really focus on recuperating from now on.


    Stop sticking your nose into other unimportant stuff and running around the ce.”


    The bright smile on J’s face dimmed a little after she heard what Nichs said, as she could tell


    that he was displeased by her recent actions. Despite this, she nodded obediently while making a


    promise to him. “Don’t worry. I’ll stop running around.”


    Nichs was extremely busy the next few days—he had to handle all his work beforehand as he


    wanted to free up more of his time during the end of the month. On the other hand, Tessa was getting


    busier as her performance date got nearer—her orchestra team was nning to travel to Yveva


    before their actual performance day over there. This time, they were performing for two nights. Group


    One would perform on the first night, while Group Two would perform the following night. Naturally, the


    people in the orchestra valued this performance a lot.


    In particr, those from Group Two ced more emphasis on this performance since it was their first


    time appearing as a group in front of an audience. That night would determine if Group Two could


    sessfully build its reputation within the industry. Even though Hathaway had told the members to go


    easy on themselves, many were tense and nervous as they practiced even harder than before.


    As time went by, Hathaway eventually decided on a date to travel over to Yveva. Tessa gave


    Nichs a call before she headed over. “I’ll probably be busy once I get there. We’ll have to familiarize


    ourselves with the ce, and we’ll be rehearsing a lot. So, I might not have a lot of them to call you,”


    she told him.


    “It’s fine. We’ll be meeting soon.” Nichs didn’t mind as he was about to be done with all the work on


    his hands. However, he felt his heart ache when he gazed at the woman’s thin face. “I know it’s


    important to train yourself, but you shouldn’t push yourself too hard. You need to rx a little. Don’t


    make me worry about you,” he voiced in concern.


    Tessa felt a sweet, joyful sensation spreading across her chest upon hearing the man’s gentle


    reminder. She told him to take care of himself and Gregory before ending the call. In the next few days,


    Tessa focused on rehearsing with the orchestra. She was so busy that she barely had the time to


    shower. Nevertheless, they were getting closer and closer to the performance day.


    One day, Nichs was about to get off work when he received a call from his ex-superior. “Hey,


    Nichs. I’m going to be in Southend for a few days. Why don’t we meet tonight? We haven’t seen


    each other since you left the army force. Bring J along! I’d like to see how well she has healed.”


    Nichs was rather puzzled, but he epted the suggestion. “Sure. I’ll book a great restaurant to


    wee you to the city tonight,” he replied. That night, they all met in a private room in a high-end


    private clubhouse. J and Nichs sat directly in front of Cole at the dining table. Cole was in his


    fifties, and his full name was Cole Spurse. He was dressed in a smart casual outfit. Hisrge body build


    made him seem like someone with power.


    There was gratitude andfort as Coleid his eyes on Nichs. He seems like apetent and


    influential man now, Cole thought. “I thought it was a shame to let you go when you first left the force.


    However, it seems like I had been too closed-minded all along—someone as outstanding as you would


    be outstanding regardless of where you go.”


    Nichs curled his lips into a smile. “You’re exaggerating my capabilities,” he uttered humbly. J


    joined in their conversation every now and then, and the mood was pleasant in the room. After


    checking in with J and Nichs, Cole began asking about J’s condition. “I heard that yourExclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    injuries had worsened a few days ago and that you had been hospitalized again. How are you feeling


    now?”


    “I’m okay. The doctor told me to lie in bed and not move around so much.” J smiled. “You should


    really rest more if that’s what the doctor tells you to do,” he replied with a nod. Then, he turned to look


    at Nichs before praising him. “I’m so thankful that you’re here to care for J. It would’ve been


    hard for us to find others to care for her otherwise,” he professed his gratitude.


    “It’s my duty,” Nichs replied.
