Chapter 1080 That’s Cruel

A complicated look surfaced on Mona’s face when she thought about the orchestra’s condition. “The director is really troubled by the situation now. Furthermore, there are a lot of people in the orchestra who’re secretly laughing at her behind her back.

They’re saying that she lacked foresight for letting you go, and they’re saying that it was Kathleen who caused the downfall of the orchestra when she was supposed to be the only one impacted by her mistakes.” Mona paused for a moment before continuing in a rather angry tone. “These people are only saying this now, but they were overjoyed when the director first told you to leave.”

Tessa agreed that many of the people in the orchestra were two-faced, but she didn’t comment much on it. Mona, on the other hand, continued criticizing all the pretentious people in the orchestra. Tessa couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of her friend. “Alright. You should calm down and drink some juice.” Tessa handed Mona a glass of juice as she figured Mona was probably thirsty from all the talking.

Tessa was right—Mona gulped down the juice in a matter of seconds. Tessa took this opportunity to change the topic. “How is Miss Hathaway planning to deal with the orchestra now that things are like this?”

“Many people in the orchestra are feeling rather anxious now. They’re worried that the orchestra’s standards might fall even further or that the whole thing might be shut down in the end. So, the director is planning to host an audition to calm the others down.” Mona was transparent and honest with her answer—she knew that Tessa still missed the orchestra even after leaving it.

Tessa felt a little less worried after hearing Mona. However, Mona dropped another huge bomb on Tessa just as Tessa was starting to feel better. “Even though they’re planning to find a new concertmaster, I heard some members saying that Cindy is planning to take a few people along with her when she leaves. Many of these people are the ones who are more skilled,” Mona uttered.

“Why would she do that?” Tessa was stunned. “The person who’s snatching Cindy from us is a long-time enemy of our orchestra, which explains why they are so cruel.

The other orchestra is probably offering Cindy tons of benefits,” Mona replied. Mona gave Tessa a look as if to say, You know what I mean. Tessa frowned as she understood what Mona meant.

The other party is clearly trying every possible way to ensure that Miss Hathaway continues on a downhill slope. I have to say, this is a pretty cruel tactic.

“Does Miss Hathaway know about this?” Tessa gazed at Mona worriedly. If Cindy actually managed to take the most skilled members away, then the orchestra would practically be useless. Mona could tell that Tessa was worried, so she tried to calm Tessa down. “Miss Hathaway knows about this, but this has got nothing to do with you, Tessa. You should stop worrying and just focus on your baby.”

“But…” Tessa was still rather worried.

“No more buts. You have to trust Miss Hathaway. She’s a capable woman, and she’s not going to let things fall apart just like that,” Mona stated firmly. Tessa found Mona’s words to make a lot of sense. Mona’s right. Miss Hathaway has probably gone through all sorts of rough patches to achieve the success she has. She isn’t going to allow such a thing to defeat her. So, Tessa simply nodded and changed the topic after that.

Later that day, Mona stayed for dinner at Tessa’s house before leaving. After washing up, Tessa rested in Nicholas’ arms while chit-chatting with him. She didn’t mention anything about her conversation with Mona earlier that afternoon—she talked about something else instead. “I won’t have to go to the orchestra for now, so I want to take this opportunity to spend more time with you and Gregory. Since the weekend is coming, I thought that it’d be nice for us to go on a family trip.” She looked at Nicholas as if to ask for his permission after finishing her sentence.

Nicholas smiled as he understood the look in her eyes. “Great minds think alike. What a coincidence! I was just thinking of bringing you somewhere.” Nicholas had been contemplating this matter for the past two days. Tessa was surprised for a moment, but she quickly felt a surge of joy within her. “You’re the best, Nicholas.” Tessa planted a kiss on Nicholas’ cheek.

“Where are you planning to bring Gregory and me?” she asked curiously.

“Well… You’ll find out when we get there,” he replied in a playfully mysterious tone. Tessa froze for a moment, but she no longer continued questioning him as she knew he wanted to surprise her.
