That Can Be Arranged (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 21

Chapter 21
“Greg likes you. While you may not be aware of this, Greg is a child who loves to keep to himself so much that he’s been diagnosed with mild autism. He doesn’t like to associate with anyone else, but you seem to be his exception, which means you’re special to him. So, if you stay, you could perhaps change Greg’s life for the better.”
Upon hearing that, Tessa was touched, yet surprised at the same time because she didn’t expect that something so dramatic would befall an adorable child like Gregory. How could something like this ever happen to this cute little boy? Look at his smile. He is such a lovely child!
Soon, Gregory sensibly approached Tessa and hugged her lap, sincerely begging her not to leave. “Miss Pretty Lady, please be my music teacher, would you? You’re so good at playing the violin, and I want to learn from you.”
As soon as Tessa heard the boy’s adorable voice, she naturally cast all her doubts aside. Not knowing well, she couldn’t bring herself to turn down Gregory’s request, so she nodded and replied, “Alright, I’II stay and be your teacher.”
Gregory was delighted, evident in his blushed cheeks and happy look. “This is awesome! I’ll be able to see you every day then, Miss Pretty Lady.”

Tessa smiled, for her mood lifted when she saw Gregory’s exhilaration.
In that instant, Nicholas unknowingly curled his lips upward for a split second just before his smile disappeared. He then stood up and said, “Well, now that you’ve accepted my offer, I suppose you could start your first lesson today, Miss Reinhart. I still have some business to attend to in the office, so I’m going to leave Greg in your hands.”
“Alright.” Tessa agreed without much hesitation, thinking she should just obey her employer’s wishes. Furthermore, she reckoned she had just moved on since she had already forgiven him after he apologized.
On the other hand, Nicholas was about to leave home, but before he did that, he spoke to Andrew and said, “Keep an eye on Tessa for me. If she ever acts strangely, I want you to let me know immediately.”
“Sure.” The butler nodded but felt stunned and wondered whether Nicholas still didn’t trust Tessa.
When Nicholas returned to his office, he gave Edward an order. “I want to buy the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra over. Get it done as soon as you can now!”
“Alright, President Sawyer.” Edward heard his instruction and went ahead to do as he was told without asking any more questions.
Meanwhile, Tessa proceeded to conduct her first lesson with Gregory not long after Nicholas left his home, Dynasty Garden. Able to play the piano well, Gregory demonstrated a good memory and understanding of music theories, which made Tessa feel grateful because it would make her job a lot easier.
At the same time, the butler, Andrew, secretly observed Tessa but failed to notice anything wrong with her as she taught Gregory with patience and dedication. I don’t understand. She is showing traits of a good teacher, so what could go wrong with that?
