Chapter 560


    Chapter 560


    Hayley scoffed to herself with an evil and determined look on her face. After all, she was someone who


    had been pampered as a child—if she ever wanted anything, someone would make sure that she got


    what she wanted. Unfortunately, as she grew up in an environment that encouraged her twisted


    behavior, it shaped her into someone rash and extreme—she would choose to destroy the things that


    came in the way of what she wanted.


    She hated Tessa the most as Tessa was the reason she had been shamed so severely. Tessa was the


    reason Nichs hated her so much! How could she not despise Tessa?!


    Tessa didn’t know about any of this as she was loo focused on her training, especially after Miss


    Hathaway announced thepetition date. She lost even more weight during this period, and Mona


    was worried about seeing her friend like that. But no matter how much Mona tried to convince her, she


    would only nod along to whatever Mona said before returning to her own training methods. It drove


    Mona absolutely nuts as she didn’t know what to do with her.


    One day, even Hathaway decided that she had had enough of this. She ordered Tessa to pay a visit to


    her office. “Is anything the matter, Miss Hathaway?” Tessa sat on the couch while eyeing Hathaway


    puzzledly. “It’s the weekend tomorrow. I want to give you a day off,” Hathaway offered.


    But Tessa only shook her head. “Thank you for your offer, but I don’t feel like resting now.” In fact, she


    couldn’t bring herself to rest when thepetition was around the corner. To Tessa’s surprise,


    Hathaway responded in an unyielding tone. “No. You need to rest. I’m not having a discussion with you


    —I’m giving you orders. You need to rest tomorrow.”Tessa froze. “Why?” she asked instinctively.“Did


    you ask me why? Look at how you’ve neglected your well-being in the past few days! If this continues,


    you’re going to copse before thepetition,” Hathaway said in exasperation. “I know you want to


    obtain good results during thepetition, but you need to have good health and a good mindset to be


    in your best condition, right? Do you think you’re in good condition now?”Tessa was speechless in the


    face of Hathaway’s questions, and a bashful look spread across her face. Tessa was aware that she


    had been pushing herself a little too hard, so she finally decided to take Hathaway’s advice to get some


    rest and recalibrate her mindset.


    Tessa didn’t go to practice the next day as it was her day off. Instead, after she had her breakfast, she


    gave Gregory a call. The young boy was extremely excited when he received a call from her. “You


    finally called me, Miss Tessa! I missed you so, so much!” the boy cried in joy.“I missed you too,


    Gregory,” she replied while gazing at him with a smile that reached all the way to her eyes. They


    chatted for a while more before he had to go to bed. After the call was over, she held onto her phone


    and proceeded to call Nichs instead. When Nichs heard that Hathaway had forced her to take a


    day off, he thought that Hathaway was a pretty reliable teacher.Both of them exchanged sweet


    nothings for a while more before Tessa urged Nichs to get some rest. During the afternoon, Tessa


    headed directly to the restaurant where she performed.


    Wilbur felt the urge to speak up when he saw how skinny the girl had be. “It’s good to work hard,


    but you shouldn’t overdo it. It’s not worth it.” Tessa knew that Wilbur cared for her, so she nodded with


    a smile. “You’re right. That’s why I got a day off today.” They chatted for a while more before she


    started her performance.She yed a light-hearted melody that received a huge round of apuse.


    “Thank you!” She bowed and brought her violin back to the dressing room after that. She was on the


    way back to the dressing room when she heard someone calling for her. “Miss Reinhart.”Tessa turned


    around to find Angus walking over. “Mr. Angus,” she greeted with a slight smile. Angus nodded before


    making an unexpectedment. “Did you have something on your mind while you were ying just


    now? The way you yed the violin today sounded forced.”“Forced?” Tessa frowned in confusion.


    “Why would you say that, Mr. Angus?”“You used to y more naturally and emotionally that sounded


    mesmerizing to the ears. But this time, it seems like your violin-ying sounds rather stiff’and


    mechanical,” he said.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
