Chapter 389 Tantrum
Tessa noticed the look on Kathleen’s face, and she realized that what she did was inappropriate. She had only wanted to help Kathleen, but she never expected Scott to be this honest. No wonder he’s still single. She pretended not to have seen Kathleen’s upset face and continued, “I see. Have a safe trip then.”
Scott nodded with a smile. “I might not be in Vienna, but you can call me if you need any help in your training. Or just text me. I’ll contact you once I see it.”
“That’s—” Before she could finish, she saw Kathleen glaring at her, and it amused Tessa. She really thinks of me as her romantic rival, huh? It’s a pity that I already have someone I like. Mr. Brooks is just a teacher and a friend. But she couldn’t say that, so she said, “We’ll see. You should be busy now that your break is over.”
Scott didn’t notice anything, and he smiled warmly at her.
Kathleen couldn’t take it anymore, and she asked weirdly, “Oh yeah. We saw you having lunch with a guy yesterday? He’s your boyfriend, isn’t he? You two seem close.”
Tessa didn’t like how Kathleen was talking, but she didn’t deny it. “He is. He came all the way here to spend time with me.”
The light in Scott’s eyes dimmed, and he felt upset for some reason. Suddenly, he wanted to leave, so he said goodbye. “I’ve been out for a while now. It’s time to go back.”
Tessa nodded at him, saying goodbye.
Kathleen saw him off for a moment. She then shot Tessa a warning glare and chased after him. “Scott, wait for me!”
Her voice rang through the corridor, but Scott didn’t stop. However, she caught up to him just a moment later, and she complained, “I called out to you multiple times. Didn’t you hear me?”
“Sorry. I was stuck in my mind, so I didn’t hear you,” he answered coolly. If Kathleen looked closely, she would have seen the resignation in his eyes.
But Kathleen didn’t see that and happily asked, “Since you’re leaving, why don’t we have lunch together?”
“Maybe next time. I have a lot to do in the orchestra. You go back to practice as well.” Scott got in a taxi and left.
She saw him off, her eyes filled with anger and frustration. Kathleen snorted and went back to the orchestra. When she saw Tessa practising by herself, she got angry at her for some reason. Scott only ignored me because of her. I’ll show her! She said, “Miss Reinhart, come here for a minute.”
“What is it, Kathleen?” Tessa put her music sheet down and went up to Kathleen, confused.
A fake smile curled Kathleen’s lips. “My assistant is on leave today. Since you’re Mommy’s student, I’ll let you be my assistant for the day. Come with me.” She went to the main practice room without giving Tessa a chance to speak.
Tessa frowned. What is she up to this time? She didn’t like it, but she went with her anyway. She was Hathaway’s daughter, so if things got tense, it would put her teacher in a difficult position.
When everyone saw Kathleen and Tessa coming in, they were about to greet them, but then Kathleen said imperiously, “Miss Sawyer, my glass is empty. Get me some water please. And make it hot.”
That surprised everyone, but then they saw Tessa taking Kathleen’s glass, and it perplexed them.
Kathleen said again, “Miss Sawyer will be our assistant for the day. If you need something, she can do it for you.”
