Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Lunchtime

And then she left without a word.

Kathleen’s face fell. She was annoyed by Tessa’s attitude, but she put on a smile again quickly.

The other members looked at one another. They knew Kathleen was doing that to Tessa on purpose, but they didn’t mind. It was normal to see two women fighting over one man, and they went back to their practice a while later.

Kathleen thought that was smart of them, and she smiled. She stayed with Scott, asking, “Scott, how long are you going to be on break? Why don’t I get some days off and go on a vacation with you?”

“You can tell Miss Hathaway if you want to rest, not me. And I’m going back to the orchestra soon. I don’t have time to go on a vacation with you,” he answered, oblivious to the hints Kathleen was giving him.

Kathleen was speechless, but she dragged the conversation on anyway. “Alright, forget it. The orchestra’s going to have a performance soon, and Mommy probably won’t let me rest.” She held his arm and talked about something else.

Scott answered perfunctorily, his face filled with impatience.

Fortunately, a member called Kathleen over for practice a while later. “I’m going to practice now, Scott. Wait for me. We’ll have lunch together.” She went away without giving Scott any chance to say no.

Scott heaved a sigh of relief. I’m going to say no when lunchtime comes. He went away to look for Tessa.

Tessa was practising alone in the room next door. She was holding her violin and playing it elegantly, her eyes closed. It was as if she was shining without any light, and nobody could look away once they saw her. Scott stood outside, admiring her performance.
