Always Been Yours Chapter 478
She claims that she got a stomach ache after drinking a few glasses of alcohol! Who is she trying to fool here? I don’t know how that b*tch managed to trick or hypnotize my mother, but my mother seems to always be on her side, Kathleen thought.
Tessa simply pretended not to notice Kathleen’s glares as she turned around to help her other members. Kathleen was extremely obedient for the rest of the day, perhaps because her mother had lectured her. When they got off work in the evening, Kathleen’s voice sounded in Tessa’s ear while Tessa was packing up to leave. “Why don’t we go for a drink or two tonight? We have been so worried about the upcoming performance, and we haven’t gotten the time to relax,” Kathleen uttered cheerfully.
Many of the members were tempted by this suggestion, and they all agreed to Kathleen’s idea. “We’ve been talking for so long, but we still don’t know where’s the best bar in Southend,” someone said after a while.
“I bet someone else knows the answer to that.” Kathleen’s gaze fell on Tessa after she finished her sentence. “Can you recommend some fun bars, Tessa?” Kathleen spoke in a slow, arrogant tone.
“I don’t really drink. Perhaps you guys can do some research online.” Tessa was telling the truth, but her words sounded like an excuse in Kathleen’s ears.
“We might be able to find some spots online, but we don’t know the way there. So you will have to go with us. After all, the orchestra only allowed you to join us because you’re familiar with this area,” Kathleen muttered hostilely.
In the end, Tessa had no choice but to lead the way. She found a clubhouse with high ratings on the internet before she got a cab for the members and led them over to the location. They arrived at a place called Cosine Club which was situated on one of the busiest streets in the city center.
After they got out of the car, Tessa only took one look at the grand and luxurious front doors of the building. She didn’t seem like she intended to follow them in. “I’ll head home now. You guys should enjoy yourselves. Don’t stay out too late!” she said to all of them.
“Heading home? What do you mean? Who’s going to send us home when we get drunk tonight?” Kathleen stepped forward to stop Tessa. Kathleen’s tone was firm and demanding-she spoke as if Tessa was their nanny. The rest of the members didn’t realize anything-they simply agreed to Kathleen’s words.
“Since you’re here, you should have some fun with us too, Tessa,” someone said. Tessa was about to reject their offer when she felt someone grabbing her arm and dragging her into the clubhouse. “Let’s go. Let’s have fun!” Tessa had no choice but to stay with them.
When all of them entered the clubhouse together, they attracted the people’s gazes around them. The reason was simple-it was because everyone in the group, except for Tessa, were foreigners to the country.
Tessa didn’t like being the center of attention, so she hurried over to look for a waiter to book a private room. But her body stiffened when she turned around and saw Hayley walking in her direction. Hayley noticed Tessa at the same time, and she tugged a pleasant smile onto her face.
That night, Hayley had dropped by to drink with her best friend, Marianne. She hadn’t expected to bump into Tessa there. Nevertheless, a series of thoughts flashed across Hayley’s mind, and her friend, Marianne, immediately noticed when Hayley’s footsteps slowed down. “What is it, Hayley?”
“Nothing much. I’m just staring at the person I hate and wondering how I could deal with her,” Hayley replied. Tessa had no idea what Hayley was thinking about. After giving Hayley a polite nod, Tessa got the waiter to prepare a room for them. However, the waiters told her that there were no longer any rooms available for that night.
The group of them had no choice but to settle down on a large couch in the hall. Tessa didn’t drink any alcohol because of her stomach. Instead, she ordered herself a glass of juice. Kathleen was unhappy to see this, but she didn’t say much about it. She was the one who asked everyone out for drinks, so she didn’t want to ruin the mood that night.
The members chit-chatted with each other, and they all looked like they were having a fun time that night. A while after that, a few tipsy young men visited their table. They all stared at Tessa and the rest of them with a sneaky look in their eyes. “Where’s the fun in drinking on your own, huh? We’ll come over to have some fun with you guys,” the man offered.
The lead of the group of guys sent a playful smirk in everyone’s direction before he landed his eyes on Kathleen’s breasts.
