Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390 Family Talk

Everyone could see that Kathleen was pulling a prank on Tessa at this point.

“Kathleen, this isn’t a good idea. If Miss Hathaway sees this, she’ll be furious.”

“Yeah. Tessa needs to practice like the rest of us. Don’t waste her time.”

“Just get a crew member to handle this.”

Someone defended Tessa, but Kathleen ignored them. She had decided to order Tessa around today no matter what.

When Hathaway came back later and saw Tessa doing menial jobs in the practice room, she frowned. She went over and demanded, “Tessa, why aren’t you practising? What are you doing here?”

Everyone stopped practising and looked at Hathaway.

“I—”

Kathleen interrupted before she could finish, “Mommy, my assistant is on leave today. She doesn’t really do anything around here, so I asked her to be my assistant for the day. Not like she’s going to perform anyway, so missing one day of practice is fine.”

“What do you mean missing one day of practice is fine?” Hathaway’s face fell immediately. “You could have asked a crew member to help you. Tessa is not a maid. You can’t ask her to do stuff like this. What did she do to you? Why are you doing this to her?”

Kathleen never expected her mother to scold her this openly, and her face fell. Hathaway didn’t care. She warned, “Tessa is my student. No next time.”
