Chapter 871 Upstaging the Host

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Brooks.” Tessa felt grateful even at this moment, as she felt lucky to

have a friend like Scott, who had offered his help countless times ever since they first met. With concern

in her tone, she asked, “How are you doing lately?”

“Me? I’m still going around performing, so the same as ever.” Scott roughly explained what he had been

up to, albeit slightly grudgingly. “It hasn’t even been two days, yet I have no choice but to get back on the

road.”

Looking at the man’s reluctant expression, Tessa smiled and teased him. “Mr. Brooks, you’ll only make

others jealous if they hear you complaining like that. Isn’t it a good thing to be able to have a

performance?”

“Of course, it’s a good thing, but I’ll get tired if I perform so often.”

“So I guess you’re the type to be happy from the pain,” Tessa said with joy in her tone as she winked

playfully at Scott.

He looked at Tessa’s smile that was as pleasant looking as a flower field in the spring, a hint of

sentimentality flashing across his eyes. Sadly, Tessa didn’t take notice of Scott’s brief expression. After

she was done joking around with him, she then wished him good luck from the bottom of her heart. “I

hope your performances will go well.”

“Thank you.”

After that, the two of them discussed music as two normal friends. Throughout their discussion, Gregory

behaved himself as he sat beside Tessa.

Some time passed when a customer entered the restaurant. It turned out to be Susan.

Back when Susan was still Kathleen, she was a regular customer of this restaurant. Today, she came

here on a whim and did not expect to find Tessa and Scott here. Looking at the two of them happily

talking with one another, she turned upset, a gloom look coming over her eyes. However, she managed

to suppress her anger almost immediately before she went over to them with an eager smile.

“Miss Reinhart, Greg, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

Susan’s sudden appearance with a smile on her face startled both Tessa and Scott. The latter thought

the girl had beautiful facial features, but that was the extent of his thoughts of her. Puzzled, he then

looked at Tessa and asked, “This is…?”

“She’s Susan, a member of Sofia Symphony.” After Tessa introduced Susan, she introduced Scott as

well. “This is Scott. He’s a friend of mine.” She thought that Susan would leave after she had finished her

greetings, yet the latter did the contrary.

“I’ve heard of the famous Scott Brooks. I never expected Miss Reinhart to be friends with you, let alone

to be able to meet you here like this. This makes me so happy.” Susan was like a fan girl as she looked

at Scott adoringly.

Although he felt that Susan was coming off a little too strong, he still politely nodded. “Nice to meet you.”

Susan’s eyes lit up as she looked at the gentleman in front of her. “Mr. Brooks, since you’re a friend of

Miss Reinhart’s, do you mind if I sit next to you and ask you some questions? There are some music-

related problems I would like to consult with you.”

Hearing this, Tessa became embarrassed. Why is Susan acting so familiar with him? she thought.

On the other hand, Scott thought nothing of Susan’s words and only moved aside to make space for her.

“Well, have a seat.” Naturally, the only reason he agreed was because of Tessa.

Susan saw through what Scott was thinking, but played dumb as she sat down in a cheerful manner.

“Thank you, Mr. Brooks. You’re just as kind-hearted as the rumors say you are.” She looked at Scott with

a face full of smiles, as though she was a fan girl who couldn’t stop singing all kinds of praises of her idol.

Looking at how enthusiastic Susan was acting, Tessa felt an inexplicable sense that she was all out of

sorts. Although she looked happy on the outside, her smile kept giving off a strange feeling, as though it

was not the kind of smile that came from the bottom of her heart. However, since Scott had promised to

accommodate her, Tessa chose not to speak up, even if she felt uncomfortable with it.

After taking her seat, Susan started asking Scott a bunch of questions in the manner where the voice of

the guest overwhelmed that of the host without any regard if she was troubling Scott. “Mr. Brooks, I fell in

love with ‘Rondo Capriccioso’ ever since I saw your performance in July. That’s why I purposely went

and learned how to play it, but there are several transpositions in the middle of the music that I can’t

seem to handle. Do you mind teaching me how to handle it?”
