That Can Be Arranged (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 22

Chapter 22
Any man would succumb to my soothing voice!
Roselle was confident with her voice, believing Nicholas would soften up upon hearing it.
Nonetheless, Nicholas didn’t seem to feel anything when he heard the lady’s words. After all, he was a man who preferred living his life as a bachelor, and he wasn’t interested in women at all. Thus, Roselle’s voice didn’t really do its trick and work on him.
Furthermore, he could sense something awry about being sent to the airport by his mother, but despite his unhappiness, he didn’t turn down Roselle’s sudden request. “Alright, I’ll bring Greg along later.” Nicholas gave a calm reply, which put a smile on Roselle’s face on the other side of the phone.
After the phone call ended, Nicholas called his butler, who was at Dynasty Garden. “Andrew, please bring Greg to the airport.”
On the other hand, Gregory showed strong reluctance when he learned that his father wanted him to leave home. He then hugged Tessa with a stubborn look on his face while acting up. “No, I’m not going anywhere. I want to be with Miss Pretty Lady.”

Helpless, Andrew tried his best to persuade the boy. “But Master Nicholas has made it clear that you must be there, so you’ll only make it difficult for me if you won’t come along…”
Gregory reacted with a bitter expression on his face, but after a short hesitation, he turned his attention to Tessa and asked, “Miss Pretty Lady, would you come along with me?”
“What?” Tessa was stunned as she was prompted by her subconsciousness to say no, but before anything could come out of her mouth, she was interrupted by the boy.
Gregory murmured and said, “I want Miss Pretty Lady to be with me! If you don’t come along, then I won’t go anywhere.”
When Andrew heard that, he turned his gaze to Tessa. “Miss Reinhart, please come with us.”
“Alright then.” Tessa was amused yet helpless but eventually decided to go along with the butler.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the airport, where they met up with Nicholas. When Nicholas noticed
Tessa’s presence, he couldn’t help but feel stunned about it.
Tessa awkwardly said, “It was Greg who insisted that I tagged along…”
“Yes, it was my idea for Miss Pretty Lady to come along.” Greg made his point clear by emphasizing it once more.
Meanwhile, Nicholas fixed his gaze on the boy and Tessa without saying a single word more but
somehow decided it wouldn’t make any difference anyway. While the man was pondering, Roselle and her mother, Yana, showed up with their luggage at the airport’s gate. Standing in place with his body straight, he greeted the two ladies just when they got closer. “Hello, Mrs. Gingham. Hello, Miss Gingham.”
