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.

When she was done, Tessa opened her eyes and saw Scott outside the door. “When did you come, Mr.

Brooks? Where’s Kathleen?” She looked behind Scott.

It wasn’t as if she didn’t want to see Kathleen. She just didn’t want to get into any trouble. She could see

that Kathleen was obsessed with Scott, and she didn’t want to cause any unwanted trouble.

Scott didn’t know what she was thinking, and he said, “She went to practice. I’m here to see how you’re

faring.”

Tessa heaved a sigh of relief. Nobody would like it if a sarcastic person was around them all the time.

She shifted the topic. “What do you think about that piece?”

“Not bad. It’s filled with emotions,” he praised. They talked about music for a while, and he suddenly

asked, “I heard your performance next month will be done in Filisburg, not Xerthania.”

Tessa nodded. “Yes. Miss Hathaway said it’s changed because of some problems.”

Scott asked her about the rehearsals, and she answered his questions. Then, he looked at the time and

asked, “Why don’t we have lunch together?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Brooks. Not today and tomorrow. I already have dates.” She looked at him apologetically.

The light in Scott’s eyes dimmed, but he forced a smile. “I see. That’s fine. We can have lunch some

other time.”

Tessa nodded. She still felt apologetic, since this was not the first time she refused his invitation, and he

did help her a lot these days. They spoke for a while longer, and Scott left, while Tessa went on with her

practice.

Nicholas texted her when it was nearly noon. It was the location of a restaurant, and she knew that was

where they were going to meet. After practice was done, she went straight to that place. It was a luxury

Oriental restaurant, and a waitress led her to a room.

The table was already filled with all of Tessa’s favorite food. When she came in, his tense look was

replaced with a gentle smile. “Sit down and dig in.”
