Always Been Yours Chapter 1184
Chapter 1184 A Storm Is Brewing
Meanwhile, Tessa had been held up by Gregory the moment she returned
home. “Mommy, y with me, please.” “Sure.” Tessa naturally wouldn’t say no
to the little one. However, her mind was on Reinhart Group’s issue the whole
time, for she found Timothy and Sabrina’s behavior suspicious.
Later that night, Nichs returned home to find Tessa spacing out on the couch
alone. With that, he sat next to her, pulled her into his arms, and asked, “A
penny for your thought?”
“You’re back.” Tessa smiled lovingly at Nichs aftering to herself. At that,
Nichs tapped her nose dotingly and reiterated, “What’s distracting you so
much that you didn’t even realize I’vee back?”
“I was just thinking about how youpete for a project and if someone can
steal it from you at any time.” The young woman thought out loud as she looked
at her beloved, who dly exined it to her when he met her expecting gaze.
“It’s usually a fairpetition for all. But because the market is ever-changing,
it’s very normal for anypany to lose their advantage.”
At that, he paused and gazed quizzically at Tessa. “Why would it suddenlye
to your mind?”
“I visited Timothy at hispany in the afternoon, and I happened to hear one
of their managers say another one of their projects had been intercepted again.
But after hearing what you have just said, let’s hope I’m just worrying for
nothing.” Tessa recounted her afternoon briefly to him.
To that, Nichs nodded before reassuring his wife. “Since Timothy said it’s
nothing, then it should be fine. No need to worry.”
Despite saying so, he, too, thought something wasn’t right. Thus, after dinner,
he gave Edward a call while dealing with work in the study.
“Look into the recent situation with Reinhart Group’s projects.”
“Yes, sir.” Edward obliged, then investigated the situation at once, only to find
something amiss.
Feeling things might beplicated after reading the results, he immediately
drove to Dynasty Gardens.
After knocking on the study door, he entered and reported deferentially,
“Reinhart Group’s projects have indeed been maliciously targeted, President.”
Nichs frowned grimly in response. By right, the entire Southend business
circle knew how close Reinhart Group and Sawyer Group were, and under
normal circumstances, no one would be dumb enough to mess with them. But
now, there was actually someone who wasn’t afraid of death.
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
“Who’s behind it?” he demanded icily, leading Edward to feel a wave of
nervousness. “It’ll require further investigation, President.”
At that, Nichs narrowed his gaze threateningly. “In that case, I want you to
deal with it. See that it’s dealt with before it gets out of control. Tessa’s busy with
her recitaltely, and her due date is soon. I don’t want her to worry and get
upset over issues like this, understand?”
“Yes, sir.” Edward obliged while marveling at how well his boss treated Tessa.
But, of course, Nichs wouldn’t know what Edward was thinking. Seeing that
there was nothing else, he dismissed the assistant.
Sometimeter, he retired after sorting out his work only to find Tessa still
awake, looking troubled.
Of course, he knew at once what she was worrying about.
“What’s wrong? Still worrying about your brother?” He approached her out of
concern.
To that, Tessa nodded and didn’t hide her thoughts from him. “I know I said I’m
fine in the evening, but I just can’t shake off the feeling that a storm is brewing.”
“Don’t scare yourself for nothing. Besides, Timothy is no longer the kid that
needs your protection. He’s a force to be reckoned with now.” Nichs tried to
ease her mind, not wanting the issue to affect her mood. “Also, that’s how it is
with apany. You can’t expect things to go smoothly all the time.”
Tessa thought he was right, and at that, she let the worry go
