Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 714 Tessa’s Secret Admirer

After all, the person, who initially wanted the classic literature, was only willing to pay no more than five million for the book, thinking that was only so much it was worth. Therefore, Tessa became the eventual buyer, who would be the classic literature’s new owner.

When the auction was over, she confronted the staff members and got her hands on her prize. She then carefully kept it and smiled at Scott in gratitude. “Thank you so much for taking me here tonight. If it weren’t for you, I would still be scratching my head, wondering what I should buy for someone’s birthday present.”

She then decided to treat Scott to supper as a token of appreciation for his company throughout the night. On the other hand, Scott, who wanted to spend more time with her, of course, agreed to her suggestion.
