Always Been Yours Chapter 480
Kathleen realized that she might have actually caused a mess this time, so she panicked on the inside. What should I do? What should I do? While she was worried about her next step, her gaze happened to land on Tessa.
An idea popped up in her mind right then. “Aren’t you local, Tessa? Hurry up and find a way to deal with this.”
Her idea was to force Tessa to take responsibility for this. Tessa was local, anyway, so there would be less of a problem. When the rest of the people in the orchestra heard Kathleen’s words, they frowned in disapproval. However, they didn’t seem to have a better plan, so they had no choice but to gaze at Tessa hopefully.
Tessa didn’t blame the rest of them, but she was furious at Kathleen. She was the one who caused this whole commotion. Yet, she can free herself from all responsibilities by pushing them all on me, who’s a local. Well, in her dreams!
“I may be able to help mediate the situation, but you’re the one who caused this whole fight. So, you should be the one to apologize, right?” Tessa replied.
“Why should I apologize? He was the one who hit on me first!” Kathleen insisted. Her eyes bulged and she looked as if she had just heard some utter nonsense that she couldn’t comprehend.
Tessa scoffed in anger; then, she simply turned around to look at the rest of the orchestra. “Do you guys think it’s wrong for me to tell her to apologize?” The rest of the members gazed at Kathleen while showing their support for Tessa’s words.
“I think you should apologize, Kathleen,” one added.
“Yeah. Those people may have been rude, but those were just words. They didn’t get aggressive,” another one reminded.
“None of them would have gotten mad if you didn’t throw your alcohol at them,” someone uttered. Although they were usually more tolerant of Kathleen’s actions, they felt the need to stand firm on their ground in this situation.
Kathleen’s face turned exceptionally dark as she glared at Tessa angrily.
“There’s no way I will ever apologize. It’s impossible! If you want to apologize, you can do it yourself!” Kathleen leaned closer to give Tessa a rough push on her shoulders upon finishing her sentence.
Tessa, who hadn’t been prepared for the attack, felt herself stumbling back and away from her group of people. “What are you doing, Kathleen?”
She had to steady herself before she could shout at Kathleen. The rest of the orchestra members couldn’t understand Kathleen’s actions either. “How could you push Tessa away, Kathleen?”
But Kathleen didn’t feel like dealing with them at all. She turned around to stare at Colin, who was standing beside them. “I don’t know how you would like to deal with this matter, but if there’s anything you need, you can just look for her!” Kathleen pointed her finger at Tessa.
Tessa felt like she was about to burst out in anger when she heard Kathleen’s words.
As Colin turned to look at Tessa, his gaze lit up a little as he had just realized how gorgeous Tessa was. She might not be as sexy and seductive as the foreigner whom he had been talking to earlier, but she had her own aura that made him want to look at her for a while longer. “So, are you the one who’s responsible for this now?” His lips spread into a nasty smirk as he sized Tessa up and down.
Tessa was mad when she first realized what the man was doing, but her instincts told her to apologize to him first. “I’m sorry. My friend was immature, so I’d like to apologize on behalf of her. I hope we can settle things with my apology.” Unfortunately, the other party didn’t look like people she could afford to mess with, so she figured that she would only cause more issues if she were to infuriate anyone else that night.
He curled his lips into a disdainful smirk when he saw how nice and proper Tessa seemed. “Your apology is nothing more than a bunch of words. That’s too insincere,” he muttered.
“What do you want me to do, then?” She furrowed her brows in worry as she gazed at him.
Colin rubbed the bottom of his chin upon hearing her question. After that, he took a long look at both Tessa and Kathleen, and he spoke in a devilish tone, “If you insist on apologizing, I’ll have to take one of you to bed with me tonight.”
He was staring at Kathleen and Tessa when he came up with this idea.
Tessa held her breath for a moment in shock. The rest of the orchestra members wore sour looks on their faces when they heard the man’s words. Even the audience that had formed around them shook their heads in pity—they figured that one of the girls would have to be trampled and tortured that night.
Right when the atmosphere was starting to get tense, a clear and stern voice sounded from the back of the group of people. “I’m not sure if you’d dare to sleep with her even if she said yes to you.” Everyone immediately turned their heads around when they heard the person’s voice.
It was Nicholas-he stepped forward in a black, formal suit. The rest of the crowd froze in response as they were attracted by his powerful and charismatic aura.
