Chapter 757 What’s Your Point?
After all, they were at Scott’s solo recital, and she didn’t want to cause trouble in front of her crush.
While they were chatting away, Scott ambled into the box in a white suit, looking like a prince from a fairy tale.
Kathleen was the first to discover him, and she immediately went up to greet him joyously, saying, “You’re here, Scott.”
While she gawked at him with eyes filled with unconcealed adoration, Scott put a friendly distance between them the entire time.
After a quick hello, Tessa handed him a bouquet and congratulated him by saying, “Break a leg.”
Scott smiled while looking at the young woman’s rosy cheeks and said gently, ‘Thank you.”
As she stood by the side, Kathleen made a mental note in her ‘Reasons to ruin Tessa Reinhart’ list as she watched the two interact.
The recital officially commenced at 8.30PM.
Tessa and Hathaway put their full attention on the stage while sitting in the VIP section.
Unsurprisingly, it was a spectacular recital, and Hathaway constantly praised Scott during the recital. “I swear Scott is catching up to me.”
“Mr. Brooks is indeed amazing.” Tessa nodded in agreement and burst into a chuckle when she suddenly recalled a scene of Scott practicing. “Remember how you said I always go all out when I practice? I think it’s nothing compared to Mr. Brooks, though.”
“Indeed, Scott does train harder than you do, and it’s not without reason that he’s able to be where he is today,” Hathaway sighed.
Kathleen, on the other hand, didn’t take note of their conversation but gawked at the dashing man on stage, deeply infatuated.
The recital ended two hours later, and just as Tessa and Hathaway were about to leave, Scott came over. “There’s an after-party. Why don’t you guys join us?”
Since Hathaway had graciously taken him up on his offer, Tessa couldn’t quite turn him down, and just like that, the group went to the party which was packed with big-shot musicians.
Tessa was initially with Hathaway, but as more and more people showed up, the two eventually got separated.
While Tessa was finding a less crowded space to sit down, someone came to give her a toast, and just as she was about to turn them down, Scott appeared while saying, “She can’t take alcohol. You don’t mind if she substitutes it with juice, do you?”
With that, he had someone bring a glass of juice over, and Tessa drank it after thanking him.
The person who came to toast Tessa swept their equivocal gaze between the two upon seeing their exchange and removed themself astutely from the scene. “I’ll leave you two to talk. I’ll check out somewhere else.”
However, Tessa and Scott didn’t notice the person had mistaken them and began chatting after they left.
“How are you doing? Are you tired? There’s a seating area over there; you can rest for a while if you’re feeling drained.” Scott was concerned about Tessa’s well-being, and the woman didn’t give too much thought to it either, only thinking he was concerned as a friend. “Thanks, I’m doing pretty good. I’ll sit down if I do get tired.”
After a nod, Scott changed the topic to music.
Meanwhile, not far away, Kathleen was frothing at the mouth as she watched the two interact happily.
“How dare this b*tch start flirting with Scott again?!” she mused through gnashed teeth, glaring daggers at Tessa.
A while later, she followed Tessa without a second thought when she saw the woman going to the washroom alone.
Kathleen found Tessa washing her hands by the sink as soon as she entered and immediately mocked enigmatically, saying, “How can you still associate yourself with men when you’re already pregnant, Tessa?”
The latter frowned in response and thought this woman really had nothing nice to say.
With that, she shook her hands to remove some of the excess water and turned to Kathleen with an icy gaze. “I only think of Scott as a friend, but you can’t seem to stop seeing me as your imaginary enemy. Are you actually thinking you’ll lose to yourself or that you’re afraid you’re no match for me? What’s your point in behaving like this all the time?”
