That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 106

Chapter 106 While Nicholas was removing his coat and rolling up his sleeves nonchalantly, his hands paused slightly when he heard Tessa thanking him. “How many times do you want to thank me? Are you really just going to say thank you and not do anything else? You should at least do something to repay me.” He looked at her with a deep frown. Tessa was taken aback before she thought to herself, How would he want me to repay him when he already has everything? “What would you like me to do to thank you? I’ll do it if it is within my capabilities.” When Nicholas heard her, he raised his eyebrows and stared at her in a teasing manner. “It’s not like you can afford anything expensive for me. What do you have currently?” Although his words sounded offensive, it was the truth.

Currently, Tessa was indeed poor and powerless. After contemplating to herself, Tessa trailed off,”1 have nothing with me but myself…” Then, she realized that something wasn’t right. Why does it sound like I’m telling him that I can only offer him my body because I have nothing else to me? Disgusted by her thoughts, Tessa quickly explained so that Nicholas wouldn’t misunderstand, saying, “I’m a violinist as well. If you don’t mind, I can play you a few tunes.” However, Nicholas snorted before scanning her up and down a few times. “Are you planning to dismiss all of the favors that you owe me with just one tune?” “I’ll play you ten tunes if one is not enough. If I really become a renowned violinist in the future, my appearance fee will surely be expensive, so you’re not losing out since I’m not asking you to pay.” Staring at Tessa, who was amusing herself by thinking of her future, Nicholas curled his lips with a hint of a smile on his face. “That’s the future, though. You’re not worth the price and don’t have that kind of talent now. Besides, it might not even happen in the future.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

After getting hit by a cold bucket of water, Tessa got annoyed and glared at Nicholas. Does this man not know how to speak properly? Why does he have to be so rude? He doesn’t even need the money, anyway. Can’t he just say that it’s alright? Besides, it’s not like I’m not able to get famous… It’s just not the right time yet. He’s really getting on my nerves. Upon seeing Tessa getting pissed off, Nicholas suddenly felt pleased. At the same time, Edward, who was driving in front, was surprised when he saw their interaction through the rearview mirror and overheard their conversation. President Sawyer, who couldn’t even be bothered to talk to women in the past, actually knows how to tease them now? He couldn’t help but feel odd as he could sense that something was different with Nicholas now, but he couldn’t seem to figure out what was out of the ordinary other than the fact that something was different. On the other hand, Tessa didn’t argue with Nicholas and chose to be quiet as she huffed her cheeks. Right then, she kept telling herself to remain cool-headed and be the bigger person. After all, Nicholas just bought the copyright for Timothy’s project, and they are now business partners. Hence, it was better not to cross him at this moment. Taking a deep breath, Tessa calmed herself down before she asked, “By the way… I have a substantive question for you. Do you think Timothy is capable? Is his software really that good? Will your company really buy it?” She bombarded Nicholas with a series of questions while looking worried. However, Nicholas gave her a look before he remarked, “He’s way more capable compared to you.” Nevertheless, Tessa was pleased instead of upset. “That’s true! Timothy is indeed an outstanding person. Still, thank you for acknowledging him! He really needed that!” Right then, there was a look of gratitude on her face. Yet, the car suddenly took a sharp turn after she thanked Nicholas. Not anticipating the turn, Tessa immediately rammed into Nicholas due to the sudden movement of the car.
