Chapter 118 Crisis
Tessa smiled. “He wanted to follow me and I couldn’t say no, but I promise he won’t disturb us.”
Trevor looked at the boy who was hugging Tessa tightly, and he had mixed feelings about it. Tessa’s really lucky the boy likes her so much. He couldn’t chase the boy away, so he agreed. “I see. I’ll get someone to look after him. You go and practise.”
Tessa was surprised that Trevor wasn’t angry, and she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she quickly took Gregory to one of the crew members. “Keep an eye on the boy.” Before she left, she told Gregory, “Don’t run around. I’ll come back during my break time.”
Gregory nodded.
At the same time, a few men in black skulked around the center’s entrance and stared inside. One of the men was on the phone. “The Sawyers’ young master is in the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra. There are no bodyguards.”
The man on the other side said, “Take him to me. I want him alive.”
Gregory was still blissfully unaware about the impending danger, and he waited in the guest hall, just like what Tessa said.
The crew members adored him, since he was quiet and obedient. They got him some toys to play with and some snacks to eat.
Gregory took it calmly. “Thank you, miss,” he said.
The crew member’s heart melted, and she smiled. “It’s alright. Tell me if you need anything.”
Gregory thought about it for a moment, then he asked, “Can I watch the practice, then?” He wanted to see Tessa practising with her colleagues.
The crew member hesitated. Trevor’s a grumpy man. If someone just waltzed in there, he’s going to kill us all. Oh, but the boy is so adorable. I can’t say no. The crew member gritted her teeth. “I’ll ask Mr. Oswald. If he says yes, I’ll take you there.”
Delighted, Gregory said, “Thank you, miss.” He played with the toys as he waited for Trevor’s reply to stave off the boredom. A while later, his phone rang. It was from Nicholas, and the boy took it immediately, “Hi, Daddy.”
Nicholas said, “What are you up to?”
Gregory said honestly, “I came to Miss Tessa’s orchestra, but I haven’t disturbed her. I’m waiting in the guest hall right now.”
This boy just won’t stay still, huh?
Gregory thought Nicholas was angry, so he said, “Please don’t tell me to go home, Daddy. There’s only me and the butler. It’s so boring. Just let me stay with Miss Tessa. I’ll be good, I promise.”
Sigh. What will I do about him? “Then promise me you won’t run around. I have something to settle today, so I can’t have lunch with you guys. Tell Miss Tessa to take you somewhere.”
Gregory was delighted. “I’ll be good, I promise! You’re the best, Daddy.”
Nicholas smiled and hung up.
Gregory was left alone. After a while, he was filled with the urge to pee, so he wanted to use the restroom before the crew member came back. However, he couldn’t find the loo after walking around, so he asked the receptionist, “Where’s the restroom, lady?”
The receptionist was on the phone, so she pointed in a direction. “Walk straight down.”
Gregory thought it was outside, so he came out of the center. The street was right outside, and it was bustling. He looked around, but he didn’t see any restroom signs. Did I go the wrong way? He was about to ask the receptionist again, but before he could turn around, a man in black came up behind him and covered the lower half of his face, then he picked the boy up.
