Chapter 765 Strange Noise Above Their Heads
“Let’s go.” Tessa took Mona away, not wanting to be bothered by Kathleen, for it was impossible for her to talk to that woman now.
Likewise, Mona thought that Kathleen was baffling, and she couldn’t understand why the woman kept targeting Tessa.
However, as much as she felt indignant for Tessa, she dared not brazenly go against Kathleen either.
As such, she left quietly with Tessa, and the two very quickly returned to Group Two’s hectic rehearsals.
On the other hand, Kathleen grew even more livid as she looked in the direction the besties left.
What’s the meaning of this? Does she think she’s too good to speak to me now?!
“D*mn you, Tessa!” she cursed through gnashed teeth, unable to let it go.
How dare that b*tch despise her!
Suddenly, an idea hit her. How great it’d be if Tessa couldn’t show up for the concert.
Though inchoate, Kathleen was already hooked on the idea.
If that b*tch ruined the concert for Group Two, they would definitely loathe her when they had spent so much time and effort on it. Most importantly, Tessa would have to bear a massive responsibility by then, and if it got serious, she’d get kicked out of the orchestra!
Kathleen loved the idea the more she thought about it.
“Let’s see how you can still be cocky by then!” Kathleen smirked triumphantly, elated as she envisioned how the others would spurn Tessa very soon.
…
The following day, the orchestra followed Hathaway to the concert hall, for they would have to familiarize themselves with the venue beforehand.
As the hall was still being set up, they could find stagehands working away everywhere.
Since this was a grand concert, they had to redecorate most of the space. There were many changes to the setup on stage as well as the lighting, all of which looked super heavy. Most of the equipment were still on the stage, waiting to be fixed.
The crew chief caught sight of Hathaway and the others just then and approached them with a smile. “Miss Hathaway.”
Hathaway nodded in turn and asked, “How long more until the stage is ready?”
“It’ll be ready after we fix all the spotlights tomorrow,” answered the crew chief.
Pleased, Hathaway nodded and exhorted, “Tell them to be careful when they fix the lights and also have them double check after fixing them. Something like this cannot go wrong, or someone could get hurt. Forget about delaying the show—it’ll be terrible if something bad happens to anyone.”
“I know, so don’t worry,” promised the crew chief with a smile.
Kathleen happened to overhear their conversation, and she took a second glance at the yet-to-be-fixed spotlights, making a mental note of it as her gaze darkened.
Sometime later, Hathaway led the others around the venue so they could familiarize themselves with the space. Following that, she made a round of inspection. Seeing that everything was okay, she prepared to leave.
However, Kathleen suddenly spoke up. “Mom, I just remembered that I’ve left something on the stage. I want to go and get it.”
Hathaway didn’t give too much thought to it and let her retrieve what she left behind.
Meanwhile, Mona couldn’t help muttering while looking in the direction Kathleen went. “And she says we’re meddlesome. She had all the time to retrieve it earlier, but she had to wait until we’re about to leave to get it and make all of us wait for her.”
Tessa burst out a chuckle.
“Come on, just think of it as a break,” she said to Mona comfortingly while they looked for somewhere to sit, knowing her friend resented Kathleen because of her.
A few minutes later, Kathleen returned, and she was indeed holding something in her hand. “I’ve found it, Mom. Let’s go.”
Hathaway nodded, then told the others they could now leave.
The following day, Tessa and the other Group Two members went to the concert hall for rehearsal as planned.
At this point, Group Two was like a well-oiled machine, and they barely made any mistakes now.
Thus, their rehearsal went on pretty smoothly for the day.
However, just as everyone was packing up to leave, a strange noise came from above their heads.
