Chapter 1173 First Place
Alice nodded in agreement, and then she remembered something else. “I also have a
surprise for you.” She smiled. “What is it?” Tessa asked curiously.
Alice gave her a cryptic answer, “You’ll see.” That stoked Tessa’s flame of curiosity.
When they were almost done with the tour, Alice took her to a room. “Sofia told me to
keep this room for you. You can take a break in here when you get tired from practice.”
Alice smiled. “She specifically told me to make sure you’re never exhausted. Sofia’s really
nice to you. I’m very jealous,” she teased.
Tessa looked around the waiting room, and a surge of warmth welled up in her heart.
“Thanks to the baby, I guess.” She rubbed her belly, a sweet smile curling her lips. She
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthen gave Alice a look of gratitude. “You did a lot for us, Alice. Thank you. For everything.”
“It’s nothing. Not like I’m doing it for free. Sofia pays me a lot for this.” Alice winked
cheekily. “But if you can convince her to increase my bonus, that’d be swell. Makes for
better motivation,” she teased Tessa.
She really loves money, huh? Tessa chuckled. They happily went around the place, and
Tessa took a lot of pictures and shared them with Nicholas after the tour was done.
A while later, Nicholas called. “Nice training center you got.” “I think it’s nice too.” She
told him everything about the new place, including the fact that Sofia prepared a waiting
room for her.
Nicholas thought Sofia had done well. “She did well.” They made small talk, and then he
asked, “So are you coming back later?”
“Why?” Nicholas smiled. “I can pick you up. I’m seeing a client nearby.” Tessa happily
agreed. The couple returned to Dynasty Gardens in the evening.
After they got out of the car, Andrew approached them, a smile hanging on his lips. “Sir,
madam, Mr. Hall is here.”
Tessa’s eyes shone. Oh, that can only mean one thing. The calligraphy competition’s
results are out. She held Nicholas’ hand, and they made their way to the living room.
Gregory and Quinton were on the couch. The moment the couple entered, both of them
stood up. “Mommy, Daddy, you’re back. We’ve been waiting.” The boy waddled over to
his mother, excited. “Mr. Hall said the results are out.”
Tessa thought Gregory already knew the results seeing how excited he was. She bent over
and asked, “So, are you in first place?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I haven’t asked. I was going to wait until you guys came back, but I’m sure I got first
place.” Gregory raised his head confidently.
Tessa was surprised the boy could hold his curiosity back, but Nicholas wasn’t. He seemed
to have expected this. “So, what’s his result?” He looked at Quinton.
Proudly, Quinton announced, “First place, just like he said. And he’s the youngest
champion since the competition’s inception.”
The results surprised Tessa.
But she quickly snapped out of it, and happily, she praised, “Well done. You broke the
record.”
“Told you I’d get first place.” The boy shook his head smugly, but Tessa thought he looked
adorable.
She poked his forehead endearingly. “You have to learn to be humble.”
