Chapter 15 You Can Stay

Tessa and Gregory stopped playing when the men came in. When she heard her name, she stood up and greeted, “Hello, Master Kieran. I’m here to perform for Gregory.”

“Perform?” Kieran was confused.

Gregory explained, “I asked her to come and play the piano with me. Her playing is wonderful!”

Hearing that, Kieran had a complicated look in his eyes as he shot a glance at Tessa.

Now, what does that supposed to mean? Tessa felt a little weird with him looking at her like that.

However, Kieran quickly averted his gaze as he spoke to his brother. “Nicholas, let’s talk somewhere else.”

Nicholas nodded nonchalantly, then said to Tessa, “Miss Reinhart, please keep Greg company for a while longer.”

With that, the three walked straight into the study. After entering the room, Nicholas finally queried, “What’s the matter?”

Edward and Kieran exchanged glances but stayed silent as they gave Nicholas a folder. There was a set of documents inside.

Nicholas took the documents and gave them a look. When he realized it was Tessa’s information, he thought that there was something up with her.
