Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 225
To be honest, Nicholas also had no idea what was going on with him. Why was I so angry when I saw Tessa talking and laughing with an unknown man?
Nonetheless, Nicholas let go of Tessa after he glanced at her reddened wrist. “Follow me.”
Although Tessa was extremely reluctant to see Nicholas, it was too late for her to make a run for it now. Therefore, she thought she should just take this opportunity to clear the air between Nicholas and her.
With that in mind, Tessa followed Nicholas silently. Later, they entered another cafe which was quieter.
After they were seated, Tessa asked in a cold tone, “Why exactly did you look for me?”
“I learned about the incident with the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra. Previously, I was uninformed of your expulsion. I came to see you this time to ask you to return. About the order of your expulsion, I have revoked it.”
Ever since he was a child, Nicholas had never spoken with people so patiently. However, it was different this time. It was indeed the Sawyer Group that had wronged Tessa.

At heart, Nicholas felt a little guilty about what Tessa and her brother had suffered recently. “I’ll compensate you for your losses these past days and the damage to your reputation.”
However, Tessa merely sneered, “Are all things measurable by money in the eyes of the rich?”
There was a slight change in Nicholas’ facial expression when he heard that, but he did not answer.
Indeed, using money as compensation does hurt one’s self-esteem. In this regard, Tessa is also someone who stands by her own principles despite her usual personality being gentle. Furthermore, the Sawyer Group did go a little too far in this matter, so her resentfulness is expected. I also sincerely want to invite her back to the orchestra.
In the meantime, Tessa also understood Nicholas a little bit. Usually, he will let his assistant handle these things. However, for him to be able to come to me in person today also
clarifies his stance.
At the thought of that, Tessa’s tone softened a bit. “Let me be straightforward with you. President Sawyer, I have my own view on whether to stay or leave. However, I will not return to the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra for the time being. Thank you for coming to me in person and letting the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra take me in. But… I think we should keep some distance.”
Tessa paused for a moment. Then, she curled the corners of her lips. “After all, it’s good for you, me, and Greg. Thank you, President Sawyer, for appreciating me. But we’re eventually just different. By the way, President Sawyer, there’s one more thing. My brother and I are simply ordinary people, and the Sawyers are really out of our league. So, I sincerely hope that your family will stop targeting us. Thank you.”
After Tessa finished speaking, she felt sick at heart for a while. She did not want to keep staying in the cafe, so she stood up and left.
This time, I’m afraid that we will never cross paths again once I leave. Also, I can’t possibly see Greg and can’t listen to him calling me ‘Miss Tessa sweetly anymore in the future.
There was a wry feeling in Tessa’s heart. But this is also the best choice. At least, it can give Timothy and me a stable life. Let the two people who should never have crossed paths return to their original lives.
Since Tessa started to speak, Nicholas did not once interrupt her. He also did not persuade her to stay when he saw she was leaving. Only his facial expressions became unsightly.
Ever since she had made things clear with Nicholas, Tessa completely cut off all ties with the Sawyers for the next period of time.
