“Why don’t we talk tomorrow? It’s gettingte there.” Nichs checked the time on his phone, so he
knew that it was past midnight in Vienna. He didn’t want Tessa to be loo tired the next day. Tessa
couldn’t argue against his words, so she had no choice but to agree with him.
However, when shey alone on therge and empty bed, she didn’t feel sleepy at all. On the contrary,
her surroundings were silent, making her feel incredibly lonely. “Now that I’m staying alone in this vi
without you and Gregory around, the whole ce feels so empty. I’m not used to it.”
Nichs wasn’t used to her absence either. Things had been going too well previously, and he was
used to having her by his side. Now, he didn’t know how to feel about going back to sleeping on his
own. However, he didn’t reveal this to Tessa as he didn’t want to make her feel any sadder. “Don’t
worry. I’m here now, aren’t I?” Heforted her through the call.
“But I miss you guys so much. It’s only the first day, and I already miss you guys so badly. What am I
supposed to do for the rest of my time here?” she whined. Nichs could feel his heart melting into a
puddle of water when he saw the longing gaze in the girl’s eyes.
“I’ll find some time to visit you in a few days,” he offered.
“Forget it. I don’t want you to overwork yourself.” She shook her head and rejected his idea.
Rtionships were a two-way thing—Nichs cared about her, and she cared just as much about him.
He simply chuckled without continuing this topic after that. Instead, he tried to coax Tessa to go to
sleep.Perhaps Nichs’ voice has some magic to it as Tessa soon felt her eyelids turning heavy after a
while. When he saw the sweet, innocent look on her face as she slept, he couldn’t help but beam as he
continued staring at her. “Goodnight, my girl,” he whispered before ending the call with a longing
expression on his face.Throughout the next few days, Tessa practiced, practiced, and practiced.
However, she no longer spoke to Kathleen after her encounter on the first day. One of the reasons was
that Kathleen was also busy with her practices. Both of them didn’t mess with one another, but
everyone in the orchestra could still sense a shift in their dynamics.One day, while they were all on
break, Kathleen sat alone on one of the benches while a few orchestra members chit-chatted beside
her. Kathleen knew thatmost of the members had a wall up against her after what happened with Tessa
previously.

So, she held her hands up and pped a few times to attract everyone’s attention. “Let’s all go for
drinks tonight. It’s all on me! We have been working too hard; it’s time to rx.” In the past, all the
members would immediately cheer once they heard her words.However, all of them rejected her offer
now. “I’m sorry. I have work tonight,” someone said.“My boyfriend asked me to go home and spend
time with him,” another one said.“I promised my dog that I’d walk it around tonight.” Kathleen could
barely keep the smile on her face when she heard everyone’s half-hearted excuses.
Fortunately, she managed to maintain a neutral expression as she spoke in a nonchnt tone. “Next
time, then.”The members nodded before they began chatting among themselves once more. Kathleen
returned to her seat and felt her heart sinking as she listened to the loud noises around her.Although
she hadn’t heard anyone talking behind her back in the past few days, she could still sense that the
members’ attitude toward her had changed after the incident. They no longer respected or feared her
like they used to.This was no big deal—what troubled her the most was that the members were actually
starting to get closer to Tessa. “Let’s have dinner tonight, Tessa. Then, we can go shopping to rx a
little,” one of the members suggested.“Sure.” She agreed with a smile. She was the only one in the
vi, so she didn’t want to head home too early. However, before she and the other members could
head off, she received a call from Louis. “Your violin is fixed. You cane and collect it.”
