That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 299

“When did the other party ask to meet?”

“Preferably, tomorrow.”

“I got it. Go and make the necessary arrangements for the job, then wait for further instructions from me.”

“Okay.” Edward accepted the order and left. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Nicholas tidied up slightly before picking up his car keys from the table and left in large strides. That evening, he returned to the Dynasty Gardens and brought the sulking Gregory directly to the Sawyer Residence. After all, he was going on a business trip for a few days. Therefore, he would not be at ease if he left Gregory at home alone. That was why he decided to send Gregory to his parents.

After making arrangements for Gregory, he contacted Edward and told the latter to meet him at the airport. That night, the two of them took an overnight flight to Europe. By the time the plane landed, it was already daytime in Europe.

After washing up quickly, Nicholas went to meet their client with Edward in tow. Their client was the CEO of Asiatic Inc., Mr. Harry Sullivan.

During the banquet, Harry and Nicholas chatted away happily. They clicked immediately even though it was their first meeting, as though they were old friends, not strangers prior to this meeting. Harry originally wanted to bring Nicholas to the clubhouse in the evening. However, Nicholas was not interested and declined the offer.

Harry was not bothered by Nicholas’ refusal and continued to invite Nicholas to other venues. “Mr. Sawyer, do you have an interest in listening to a musical performance? There is a performance in Vienna tonight. It will only take us two hours at most if we drive there. We can still make it in time.”

Being invited so graciously, Nicholas could not refuse without seeming rude. Thus, he nodded in agreement.

The concert hall was full of guests, and they filled every corner of the quaint and gorgeous building with a cultural atmosphere.

“President Sawyer, this way, please.” After getting out of the car, Harry made a gesture of invitation to Nicholas.

Nicholas nodded and followed Harry into the auditorium. Then, he saw the posters advertising the performing orchestra along the corridor. It turned out to be the Berlin Philharmonic. He raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly feeling that it was much too coincidental.

Tessa was in the backstage area. She had no idea that Nicholas was here too. Thinking about the upcoming performance made her so nervous that her entire body trembled.

Upon noticing her uneasiness and restlessness, Scott walked over to her with a warm smile. He was dressed a lot more formally than usual for the performance today. The black and exquisite tuxedo he wore made him seem noble and gentlemanly. He asked, “Nervous?”

Tessa made a non-committal sound in reply and worriedly added, “Mr. Brooks, what if I make a mistake during the performance?”

Looking at the girl’s uneasy expression, he encouraged her. “Don’t think about that. Relax. You have to believe in yourself. You can do it.”

That‘s right. I should believe in myself. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Surprisingly, with each breath, she gradually became less nervous. She looked at him gratefully and smiled. “Thanks for

comforting me, Mr. Brooks. I’m much better now. We’re going to perform on stage soon; I’m going to recheck my violin.”

He nodded and watched her work.

That night, the Wiener Kursalon was fully packed. Many well-known orchestra members were among the guests who came to appreciate the performance. They exchanged greetings and interacted with each other. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

At 9:00 PM sharp, the musical performance officially began.

Dressed in a plunging V-neck black evening gown, Tessa filed onto the stage with the rest of the Berlin Philharmonic members. The form-fitting dress revealed her exquisite figure to the fullest. She had teased her thick hair into light curls that fell softly around her cheeks. Her palm-sized face bore a light but gorgeous layer of make-up, making her seem dignified instead of coquettish.

Even when she stood beside Scott, she was not overshadowed by the light radiating from him. On the contrary, the two of them standing together made a very pleasing sight.

“Who is that girl next to Mr. Brooks? Why is she standing in the assistant concertmaster’s spot?”

“When did the assistant concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic change?”

“Wasn’t Annie Patel the assistant concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic? What happened to her?”

A series of discussions swept across the audience.

Seated among the VIP seats on the second floor, Nicholas immediately spotted Tessa in the crowd at a glance and froze when he saw her. It never occurred to him that she would be here, much less performing as a member of the Berlin Philharmonic. However, when he looked at the handsome man

standing side-by-side with her, the perfect-couple image they gave off suddenly seemed extremely irritating to him. He felt white-hot rage in his heart at the sight of the two of them for no apparent reason.
