Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1471

Chapter 1471 Hathaway’s Breakdown

"Mona, this is bad. A lot of Kathleen's fans have gathered outside our doors, saying that Kathleen lied to them. They're all demanding an explanation from Miss Hathaway."

When Mona heard the anxiety in her colleague's voice, she frowned and said in annoyance, "Didn't the news on the Internet already make it clear? Tell those people outside to look it up on the Internet if they don't know what's going on."

"That's what I told them, but they want to hear it from Miss Hathaway's lips. They even threatened to create a scene outside, refusing to leave unless Miss Hathaway gives them the explanation they want," the colleague explained in dismay.

Out of wits, Mona decided to concede to their demands. "If that's the case, go outside and try to calm them while I look for Miss Hathaway. I'll ask her about her thoughts on this matter."

"Please hurry up, okay? I'm afraid that we won't be able to stop them for long." A look of distress appeared on that colleague's face, and Mona nodded before dashing straight for Hathaway's office.

She stood before the door and knocked a few times, announcing the reason for her presence, "Miss Hathaway, there are a lot of Kathleen's fans outside, and they hope that you'll clarify the Kathleen incident." Then, she waited quietly at the door. A few seconds passed by, but no sound came from within the room. So, Mona knocked again and asked, "Miss Hathaway, are you there?"

Still, there was no sound from the office, and Mona started to worry because she remembered that Hathaway had arrived here rather early in the morning. "Miss Hathaway, I'm coming in if you're not saying anything," she said, turning the knob and pushing the door open. Immediately, a strong smell of alcohol rushed up her nostrils, and she saw Hathaway's head resting against the desk.

Mona approached her and saw that Hathaway, who was usually so elegant and graceful, was slumped and disheveled on the floor with two empty bottles by her side.

"Miss Hathaway?" Mona called softly.

Hathaway didn't answer and looked like she was utterly drunk. Mona didn't know what to do. Still, she crouched down and helped her up. That was when she noticed that Hathaway wasn't wholly unconscious because her face was covered in tears that kept flowing from her eyes.

It was obvious that Hathaway didn't want to wake up and face the harsh reality, but Mona didn't want to force her, either. So, she helped Hathaway into the lounge in the office and left the room.
