Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 875

Chapter 875 You’re Wasting Your Time

The next afternoon, Tessa brought the song she had composed to Simon’s house in the afternoon.

“Please have a look, Sir. This is the homework you gave me yesterday.”

She handed Simon the manuscript, then waited anxiously at the side. He lowered his head to check, but the more he read, the more surprised he became. He had purposefully given her a preliminary test because he had decided to teach her. So, he was well aware of how poor her fundamentals were. But now, even if her songs weren’t up to his standards, they were good enough for a passing grade. He had extremely high standards for even a passing grade.

“Not bad. You improved quite a lot. You pass.”

He laid the manuscript down with satisfaction.

Tessa looked stunned as if she couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t help but ask for confirmation, “Did I really pass?”

“Yes, you passed.” Simon nodded in affirmation.

Tessa was overjoyed when she realized she had passed.

He didn’t want to ruin the girl’s mood by saying anything, but he did say sternly, “Passing is only the first step. In the future, I will only set higher standards for you.”

“I know. I will do my best to learn.”

Seeing that, she immediately stopped smiling and nodded earnestly.

She kept her word about learning diligently. Furthermore, because she was a quick learner, whenever she came across something that baffled her, she only needed a hint from Simon to fully comprehend it. In this regard, Simon repeatedly praised Tessa in front of Sofia, even claiming that it was his first time teaching with such ease.

In an instant, the end of the month was approaching.

Almost every day, Nicholas would spend the entire day at work because he was still swarmed with work. Tessa had noticed all of this, and she knew he had become so preoccupied simply because he wanted to spend time with her and Gregory. Her heart ached for him.

When they were on a video call at night, she couldn’t help but remind him, “Please don’t overwork yourself. You may arrive a few days later than promised if you cannot complete your work on time. Focus on your health.”

Wanda opened the lunch box she was holding on the coffee table as she spoke. She then carefully poured some soup into a bowl for him.

Nicholas frowned, his patience finally running out.

He sat at the office table, exuding a cold aura rejecting everyone. “Miss Muller, I think you’re wasting your time doing all this. Also, if there’s anything I want to eat, I can ask my chef at home to prepare them.”

Hearing that, she felt the smile on her face freezing.

Nicholas did not notice that as he continued, “Also, compared to trivial things like this, I remember that you still haven’t fixed the problem with the proposal last time. I hope you can use your time more beneficially.”

Now, these words hurt a little.

Wanda looked at him with a pitiful gaze. “I… just want to take care of you.”

She had expressed it so obviously, so how could this man not understand her intentions?
