Chapter 364


    Chapter 364 Birthday Party


    Hathaway looked at her disapprovingly, and she smiled. “We do have a little gathering tonight to


    celebrate your birthday.”


    Tessa was Hathaway’s student, and they knew she would rise up the ranks fast in the future. Almost


    everyone in the orchestra was happy to befriend her, so when they heard about her return from her


    break, they nned on throwing a little birthday party for her. She knew it was the members’ token of


    kindness, so she didn’t refuse it.


    The orchestra held a little birthday banquet that night, and they even yed the Birthday Song for her.


    They also bought her a cake, and it made Tessa a happydy. The sadness of saying goodbye to her


    family was swept away a lot too. “Thank you, everyone,” she thanked the members genuinely.


    After they divided the cake, some people starteding to Tessa to chat with her. They were all being


    nice.


    “Tessa, everyone knows about your performance on the anniversary. Lots of them praised Miss


    Hathaway for having a great student like you.”


    “Some even asked her about your solo performance, but she said there are no ns for that for now.”

    “She said you still have a lot of ws in terms of skill, so she has no ns to let you go solo yet.”


    “I thought Miss Hathaway’s strict with us, butpared to you, we’re lucky.”


    They kept chatting, and Tessa caught up on the events that happened while she was gone. She


    realized that she was loving the orchestra more and more.


    The orchestra overseas had the habit of worshipping the strong. If someone wanted to get to a higher


    position, they would defeat their rivals with their own skill instead of schemes like the ones back home.


    After the gathering was finished, Tessa was feeling tipsy from drinking too much. Hathaway felt worried


    about her. “Can you go home like that, Tessa?”


    “Yes. Don’t worry, Miss Hathaway.” Tessa was just tipsy. She could still move around no problem.


    Hathaway didn’t believe her. “I’ll get you a driver.” She went to make the arrangements without giving


    Tessa any chance to say no.


    Tessa saw her off, and her smile broadened. She felt touched that Hathaway cared about her.


    A few minutester, Hathaway came back with a driver. She was a violinist of the orchestra, and the girl


    was a gentle soul. When she took Tessa and came out of the orchestra, Tessa saw someone she never


    expected to.


    “Mr. Brooks?” She looked at the man in surprise.


    The dim light was shining on Scott. He was wearing a casual shirt, and his body was lean. He smiled


    and said, “Hi, Miss Reinhart.”


    Tessa apologized to the girl and told her to go home first, then she went over and looked at Scott


    curiously. “What brings you here, Mr. Brooks?”


    “The performance is over, so I came back,” Scott said. He looked at her, and something glinted in his


    eyes when he saw her reddened face. “I heard it’s your birthday today, so I came over.”


    Tessa was surprised. Oh, that’s nice of you. “Thanks.” She scratched her head, but she felt weird, and


    she didn’t know what to say.


    Scott noticed the awkward air as well, and he suggested, “Let’s have a stroll.”


    Tessa hesitated for a while, and she nodded. They walked slowly down the street, and the city’smps


    drew out their long shadows. A little whileter, Tessa sobered up because of the night breeze. She


    asked, “So, what’s next for your orchestra?”


    “Nothing at the moment. We’ll have a two-week break this time.” Scott smiled, then he brought up


    Tessa’s performance during the anniversary. He sighed. “Right after I came back, I heard about your


    great performance during the uni’s anniversary. A pity I missed that.”
