Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584 

“Come, I’ll be showing you where Group Two practices so that you can meet the others,” Hathaway said to Tessa as she beckoned the latter over.

“Okay.” Tessa replied before turning to let everyone around her know that she had to leave.

Hatred flashed in Kathleen’s eyes as she watched Tessa walking off.

When Hathaway led Tessa to the practice room, everyone in the orchestra was already there. Group Two was strong in numbers with their several dozen members.

Everyone was seated on their chairs, which had been arranged in a semi-circle around the conductor’s podium at the center of the room.

When the two women entered the room, everyone turned to look inquisitively at the newcomers.

While some of them knew Tessa, others didn’t.

Sensing the eyes on her, Tessa smiled back in greeting.

“I trust I don’t need to introduce you to Tessa. All of you know her after all,” Hathaway said with a clap of her hands. “Now, a formal announcement–Tessa will be the concertmaster of Group Two from now on. Please work well together, guys.”

As soon as she was done speaking, there was a loud round of applause.

“Hello, everyone. I’m pleased to be working with you,” Tessa said, stepping forward as she did so.

Her greeting was met with kind smiles from everyone.

Looking at the peaceful sight before her, Hathaway nodded in satisfaction.

Then, she called for the conductor, who had been standing at one side of the room. “Frank, please advise Tessa on where the orchestra is at right now,” she said.

“I will,” said Frank before turning to smile at Tessa.

Frank was an Australian man in his thirties with brown hair and deep-set eyes. There was an aura around him that made her think he would be easy to get along with,

“This is the conductor of Group Two, Frank,” Hathaway said, introducing him to Tessa. “You’ll be working with him from now on. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him. He’ll help.”

“Hello, Frank. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Tessa politely greeted.

He then briefly elaborated on the group’s current situation. “Some of the members here have been training for a long while whereas some joined about a month before you did. I know you’ve performed in Kathleen’s place before, but a group can only build up a good foundation if the members practice together. I trust it won’t be too hard for you to do so.”
