Always Been Yours

Chapter 1433 All About Luck
Tessa was exceptionally patient with these people. In fact, she even cheered those who had no luck with the lucky draw this
evening, encouraging them not to give up and try again next year.
And for that reason, the employees of Sawyer Group loved her even more, for they could sense that Tessa had no airs.
Later, several of them even came forth and proposed a toast. "Happy Holidays, Miss Tessa."
"Thanks." Tessa substituted the wine with fruit juice as she toasted them in return, one by one.
Furthermore, she would also take the initiative to find topics to communicate with the employees while they were still at the party.
All in all, Tessa got along with them like a house on fire, and she successfully gained the favor of countless employees.
During this period, Stefania and Tobias also kept tabs on Tessa from the side.
They were extremely satisfied with Tessa's grace and decency.
As family members, Timothy and Sabrina also showed up halfway through the lucky draw.
Since the employees of Sawyer Group were familiar with them, they greeted the two politely, "President Reinhart, Miss Gulliver,
you're here as well. Happy Holidays."
"Happy Holidays," the two greeted the employees back before walking hand-in-hand toward Tessa.
"Tess. Nicholas," they called out cheerily.
"Oh, you came," Tessa responded happily while Nicholas greeted them with a nod.
They scanned their surroundings and commented rather tacitly, "It sure is lively."
"Well—we only get to organize the company's year-end party once a year, so of course, it has to be lively." Tessa chuckled.
Sabrina was interested in the lucky draw game she saw taking place in the corner of the room.
"Tess, may I try my luck at the lucky draw?" She shot Tessa an expectant look.

Nonetheless, Tessa turned to look at Nicholas instead of responding immediately. After all, those rewards were meant for the
employees of Sawyer Group.
Nicholas instantly realized the reason behind her hesitance just with a look. So, he curled his lips into a faint smile and permitted,
"Sure. Go ahead and try your luck."
"Thank you, President Sawyer. Thanks, Tess!" Sabrina bounded straight to the lucky draw area immediately after expressing her
gratitude.
Still, she had no intention of robbing the employees of Sawyer Group of their rewards. She didn't lack anything. Besides, she
took an interest in the lucky draw event purely because she wanted to join in on the fun.
Timothy followed her as he was worried that someone would bump into her.
Meanwhile, in the lucky draw game area, Kieran greeted them enthusiastically after he saw the two of them approaching. "Hey,
you guys are here! So—do you guys want to try your luck?"
"Me, me! It's precisely the reason I came over," Sabrina had already placed her hand in the box while she spoke.
She randomly fished out a lucky draw ticket. Unfortunately, luck wasn't really on her side that evening, for she only managed to
draw a gift card worth ten bucks.
Even so, she still smiled happily. She even teased Timothy, "Here! A Christmas gift for you."
"Thanks." Timothy took it with a smile. His eyes were drowned with fondness and gentleness as he looked at Sabrina.
Gregory also made his appearance just then.
"Uncle Kieran, I want to draw a prize too." He looked at Kieran with eager eyes, looking adorable beyond any reason.
Overwhelmed by his cuteness, Kieran personally brought the lucky draw box to him. "Here you go. Let's see how lucky you are."
Unexpectedly, the little guy was pretty lucky, for he successfully won a phone.
Just as Kieran handed over the prize and was about to say something, Gregory was already dashing toward Tessa with the
mobile phone in his arms after thanking Kieran.
"Mommy, look! I got a mobile phone. For you."

With that, he held the prize in front of Tessa as though he was presenting a valuable piece of treasure.
"Thank you, Greg."
Tessa took the item from Gregory and grinned from ear to ear.
The others also started praising the little guy for being so sensible.
The atmosphere was cheerful and lively as everyone enjoyed themselves.
In contrast, the atmosphere surrounding Adam and Joseph's family members was far more desolate.
Perhaps it was because Nicholas had just struck them down; the shareholders present dared not even breathe a word in their
presence. Some even went out of their way to avoid them as though they were the plague.
Due to that, Adam and Joseph's family members were bristling with anger.
Of course, what only pushed them to the brink of their rage was the fact that their fathers, Adam and Joseph, should have been
present on such an occasion.
Yet, they were absent because of Nicholas, which hindered them from executing any schemes that might knock Nicholas down a
peg.
It was already very late when the year-end party ended that night.
Nicholas was getting ready to take Tessa and Gregory home when he realized that Tessa was looking rather sleepy.
Before they departed, he called Kieran to his side and instructed, "I will leave the clean-up to you. Don't worry. Edward will stay
behind and assist you."
