Chapter 305
Scott did have questions for Hathaway, so he quickly parted ways with Tessa. As she left, perhaps she was comforted by Scott’s encouragement, so her mood was rather well, all things considered. She wasn’t discouraged about Hathaway not accepting her as a student either.
Not to mention, the music director of the Berlin Philharmonic promised her that he would introduce her to a teacher from the Vienna Conservatory. Now, all she could do was practice, practice, and practice for the upcoming interview.
As she gave her current situation a good thought, she felt that she had gone abroad in too much of a hurry, so there were many things she wasn’t able to bring with her. So, she planned to go around and find the items she was missing.
Somehow, she ended up at a flagship store that sold branded musical instruments. Every musical instrument there was exquisite, and it was difficult for her to look away from such a stunning display.
Tessa was utterly captivated. Therefore, by the time she returned to her senses and left the store, it was already evening. As she recalled that it wasn’t safe to wander the streets in a foreign country at night, she hurriedly went to the supermarket to buy some groceries, intending to go back and cook dinner for herself.
Unfortunately, just when she was about to reach the residence’s entrance, she was stopped by a few delinquents.
“Hey, pretty lady. Come drink with us.”
The delinquents sniggered as they surrounded her.
“Leave me alone. I don’t know any of you!” Tessa shouted at the few people who were snickering at her; soon, fear flashed in her dark eyes. She tightly gripped the bag, lowered her head, and tried to rush out.
Suddenly, one of the delinquents grabbed her wrist, dragging her back in again with a pull.
“What are you doing? Let me go!” she shrieked as she struggled against the man.
“Relax. We just want to have some fun.” The teenagers laughed and fooled around with great enthusiasm.
As they were talking, they dragged ‘Tessa along for several steps. She was terrified, and numerous terrible incidents in the news instantly flashed across her mind. In that instant, she was so scared that her face lost its color, and she was utterly frightened.
“Let me go! I don’t know any of you! I won’t go!” she yelled as she began to struggle harshly against them. Unfortunately, she was a weak woman, so she couldn’t fight against these young and energetic teenagers.
As she sensed that she was about to be dragged into a car parked on the side of the road, Tessa couldn’t help but feel a wave of despair. Her life had finally changed for the better, and she finally had something to look forward to, so why did God have to play such a cruel joke on her? She was not going down that road of despair again!
“Help! Save me!” Tessa began to cry for help.
However, it was dinner time, so there weren’t many pedestrians on the road, but it wasn’t as if there weren’t any. These passersby saw what was happening to Tessa, but they chose to stand idly by. After all, that group of teenagers looked like they weren’t to be trifled with, and none of them wanted to cause trouble.
When Tessa saw them just watching the scene unfold, her bright eyes lost a little of their luster. Just when she thought she was about to be violated, a harsh voice with a fierce aura sounded behind her.
“Where are you planning to take my woman?” The cold and familiar voice made
Tessa look up in astonishment.
Then, she saw Nicholas standing nearby in a black high-end business suit. When the yellowish glow of the street light landed on him, it was as if a layer of light was shining on him, like a god descending from heaven.
Tessa didn’t expect to see Nicholas here. At this moment, she was stunned and even a little incredulous, thinking that she might be hallucinating.
She didn’t react until the person who was holding her let go and ran away. Then, she watched the man walk straight toward her in a daze.
Nicholas peered at a dumbfounded Tessa and squinted his eyes. “What? Have you been scared silly?”
The man’s low voice made Tessa blink. In the next second, she reached out with difficulty and cautiously touched the man’s elbow.
At this touch, Nicholas’ eyebrows jumped up. At the same time, Tessa was also certain that the person in front of her was real. She jumped several steps back, then asked in shock, “What are you doing here?”
Nicholas wordlessly fixed his dark eyes on Tessa.
