Chapter 716 An Unexpected Visitor


    As Gregory’s adorable look and coy attitude began to soften up Remus, the older man eventually epted the present. He then carried the child in his arms and yfully asked, “I’ve epted a lot of presents from the others, so where is yours?”


    “My present is with Daddy. Come on, Daddy. Let’s bring my present to Great-grandpa.” Gregory eagerly waved at his father, who nodded and took the present from his assistant, whereupon he stepped forward with it. “See, Great-grandpa? My teacher taught me how to write this calligraphy. I wrote hundreds of words here as a blessing of long life to you, Great-grandpa.” The child proudly presented his gift, which was a paper with rows of calligraphy writings on it.


    While Remus liked the present very much, he told Ian to frame it and hang it in his study. Then, the other guests proceeded to present their gifts to the older man until the feast came to an end. After that, Nichs was about to walk away with Gregory asleep in his arms, only to be called out to by Remus. “Take Mr. Muller and Wanda back home for me.” Worried that his grandson might disobey him again, Remus added, “See them home by yourself and leave your assistant out of this.”


    While there were others around, Nichs was bound by his respect for his grandfather to obey thetter. Therefore, he was forced to leave Gregory to Stefania and took Horace and Wanda home by himself. As they were on their way to their destination, Wanda seemed to have forgotten about the awkwardness she went through earlier that night and went on to start a conversation with Nichs once again. Out of courtesy, Nichs responded with brief replies instead of leaving her in the cold. On the other hand, Horace, who was silently watching their interaction on the side, smiled brightly at the thought of a perfect couple they would make.


    By the time Nichs returned home, it was almost midnight. Then, he went on to take his shower shortly before he received Tessa’s video call. “Are you back? How was the feast?”


    “Everything went well.” Knowing Tessa’s concern about Remus’ birthday feast, Nichs proceeded to tell her what had happened earlier that night.


    When Nichs talked about the part in which everyone presented their gifts to Remus, Tessa nervously asked, “Did your grandpa like my present?”


    “Yeah, he likes it, of course.” Although Remus acted as if he didn’t like the ssic literature, Nichs knew Tessa’s present was up his grandfather’s alley.


    Meanwhile, when Tessa heard from Nichs that Remus liked her present very much, she felt over the moon. After that, both of them went on to chat for a bit until she realized it was gettingte and urged Nichs to get some rest. “It’s been a long day for you. Go to bed now.” Nichs nodded in response and said goodbye to her before hanging up the call.


    …


    The next morning, Edward knocked on the door outside the president’s office at the Sawyer Group and entered, greeting Nichs politely. “President Sawyer, Miss Muller is here.”


    “What’s she doing here?” Nichs was surprised to hear about Wanda’s arrival but still instructed Edward to bring her to his office.


    A few minutester, Edward entered the office with Wanda, who appeared to be wearing a trendy striped dress with a fancy pink sweater on the outside to keep her warm in the air-conditioned environment. She then set her eyes on the man who was sitting behind the desk in a cial yet graceful manner with a smile on her face. “Good morning, Nichs.”


    Nichs nodded and asked, “What brings you here?”


    “Old Master Sawyer arranged for me to visit yourpany, but I hope I didn’te here at the wrong time.”All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “No, you didn’t. Don’t worry about that.” Nichs assured Wanda that she wasn’t a disturbance and sat her down on the couch.


    After taking a seat, Wanda went on to start a conversation by asking, “Where are we going to startter?”


    “My secretary will show you aroundter.”


    As soon as Wanda heard the man’s answer, the smile on her face faded almost instantly. Nevertheless, she hid her disappointment and gazed at Nichs with a pair of smiling eyes. “Aren’t you going to be the one showing me around?”


    “I have a meeting to attendter,” Nichs responded tersely.


    Wanda’s face darkened when she heard the man’s reply. However, she was mature and sensible enough to show her consideration with a faint smile. “Okay then, you should go ahead and do what you must. I’ll be fine managing everything by myself.” Nichs nodded in response after hearing her words and summoned his secretary shortly after.
