Chapter 804 The Swaying Opinions
Seeing how her close friend was really unbothered by all this, Mona breathed a sigh of relief and switched subjects.
After the meal, Wilbur noticed that Tessa seemed to be in a good mood, so he suggested, “Since you’re here, how about playing a song on stage?”
Thinking that she had not been here for a long time, Tessa nodded before heading onstage with her violin.
A short while after, a pleasing tune came from her violin, entrancing the customers.
Then, the performance ended with thunderous applause from all sides.
Some of them were frequent patronizers and knew who Tessa was.
“Miss Reinhart, you’re finally playing again.”
“That’s right. We’ve missed the sound of your violin terribly during the time you weren’t here.”
“I feel like your technique has been further refined, Miss Reinhart! You really are talented. You need to come more often in the future.”
All the praises made Tessa feel like a surge of energy had been injected into her body as all the doubts in her mind were dispelled.
“Thank you for your support, everybody.”
Smiling brightly, she then bowed and exited the stage.
Her mood was much improved upon reaching home, for she had come to a conclusion.
No matter how others doubted her, she would walk on her own path unceasingly. I will work harder and make myself stronger.
Nicholas’ call came just then, prompting him to be surprised seeing his wife full of energy.
“Seems like you had a fun time with Mona this evening.”
“It was quite nice. We went to the restaurant today and I even played a song on stage. A lot of people said that I have improved a lot,” Tessa shared her joyful evening.
After hearing this, Nicholas’ worries had significantly lessened.
For the last couple of days, he was concerned for her since she had always looked so unhappy lately.
Now that she was bearing a child, he did not wish that she would experience such a constant mood swing as that would affect the baby too.
In the ensuing days, Tessa kept up her rigorous practice, which was witnessed by everyone.
Thereafter, the performance she pulled off at a recent show extended her reputation even further as many magazines wanted to have an interview with her; they hoped to feature Tessa on the cover of their magazines.
One day, Hathaway called Tessa to her office.
“Did you ask for me, Miss Hathaway?”
“Have a seat.”
After saying that, Hathaway went straight to the point, “What are your thoughts on all the magazines that want to interview you?”
“I’ll act as per your instructions.” Even though their relationship was not as good as before, Tessa still believed in her mentor a lot.
Knowing that fact, Hathaway had mixed emotions within her. She composed herself before analyzing, “I’ve taken a look at the magazines. I think there are some interviews that you can take. As for those that aren’t worth it, just reject them.”
“Understood.” Tessa nodded. They then discussed the state of the orchestra for a short while before she left.
The rumors about her appearance in magazines soon spread after that.
At that time, many people did not understand why Hathaway would still take care of Tessa after what had happened, especially the ones from Group One.
It’s obvious that Tessa is the culprit that landed Kathleen in jail, so what is Miss Hathaway thinking?
For some reason, someone created a discussion thread of this online and comments flooded the forum.
‘In my opinion, Miss Hathaway acted in the correct way. Even though she might be a mother, she’s also Tessa’s mentor. Besides, it’s not like Tessa did anything wrong. It was Kathleen who started everything, so why would she make it hard on her talented student?’
‘I think the same way too. No matter what, she really is a magnanimous person. Not anyone can respond in the same way.’
‘For me, I think it might be because Miss Hathaway doesn’t want to destroy the reputation she built up with so much effort.’
As always, there were both good and ugly comments.
Yet, Kathleen’s fans found themselves perplexed over this situation.
