    CHAPTER 1494 GETTING DRUNK


    As soon as these words escaped Mona''s lips, the surrounding vibe suddenly turned as silent as the


    grave.


    Mona looked at Scott intently as she nervously waited for his answer.


    Scott pursed his lips slightly before he breathed out a gentle sigh. "Mona, you should know that my


    current n is to focus on my music, right?" he politely turned Mona down.


    Mona curled the corner of her mouth into a wry smile. "I know you only have music on your mind, but I


    still want to give it a try. After all, I have been chasing by your side for two years."


    Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, Timothy, who had sessfully proposed, took Sabrina''s hand and


    approached Tessa. "Tess, it''s gettingte. I n to send Sabrina home."


    "Are you sure it''s because it''ste? Or is it because you think about spending some alone time with


    Sabrina?" Tessa looked at Timothy and Sabrina teasingly.


    Sabrina instantly flushed crimson under the mischievous look in Tessa''s eyes. Hence, she stomped her


    feet andined, "Tess."


    Tessaughed at her reaction. Still, she stopped teasing them further and waved them goodbye.


    As they left, the banquet wasing to an end as well.


    Tessa held Nichs as she saw her teachers, rtives, and friends off before they also decided to


    retire for the night.


    s, just when they walked out of the hotel, Tessa''s phone rang. It was a call from Mona.


    "Tessa, can youe and have a drink with me?" Mona''s voice sounded distressed on the phone.


    Tessa''s heart sank. Judging from Mona''s tone, she could tell that her confession didn''t end on a good


    note.


    She didn''t hesitate to agree. So, she asked, "Where are you? Send me your location, and I will be there


    soon."

    With that, Mona gave an address before she hung up the phone.


    Nichs noticed the worried look on Tessa''s face and asked with concern, "What''s wrong?"


    "Mona asked me to apany her for a drink. I think she was rejected," Tessa frankly voiced her


    spection and told Nichs what she had promised Mona at the same time.


    Nichs nodded in understanding. "I will drop you off. You can apany her but try not to drink too


    much."


    "Thanks, darling." Tessa tiptoed and kissed Nichs'' good-looking side profile affectionately.


    Tessa rushed to the bar where Mona was in less than 10 minutes.


    Since she was wearing a pair of sunsses and the lights in the bar were extremely dim, no one


    recognized her.


    She swept her gaze across the bar and finally found Mona drinking alone in a corner.


    At this moment, there were already three empty wine bottles on the table in front of Mona.


    "Mona, are you okay?" Tessa sat down and looked at her good friend with worried eyes.


    Mona, who was a little tipsy, raised her head in a daze and said dejectedly, "Tessa, you''re here."


    Although she had her attention on Tessa, she still tried to pour herself another drink with wobbly hands.


    Tessa instantly noticed Mona''s already drunken gaze, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand and


    stopped Mona from imbibing more alcohol. "Stop drinking. You will get drunk if you keep drinking."


    Mona was silent for a moment before she said in a dispirited voice, "But my heart aches if I stop."


    When Tessa heard Mona''s words, she was even more certain that her guess was right on the money.


    Just as she was wracking her brain about how to console Mona, Mona slurred, "I thought about it all


    afternoon. I felt that what you said was right. It would be nothing but a waste of my time if I continued


    staying by his side silently without doing anything. So, I mustered up my courage and confessed to him


    earlier."


    Then, she paused for a moment as her lips curled into a bitter smile. She held in a sob and continued,


    "He rejected me, saying that he wasn''t interested in anything but music for the time being."


    When Tessa saw this, she suddenly had no idea how to console Mona.


    Tessaid her eyes on the despondent Mona and asked cautiously, "What do you have in mind, then?


    Do you want to continue waiting for him? Or do you…"


    Although Tessa didn''t finish her sentence, Mona understood what she meant.


    "I have no idea." Mona slowly shook her head. "My rationality tells me that I should give up, but every


    single time I tell myself that, my heart aches."


    Tessa felt distressed as she looked at the pained look on Mona''s face. "In that case, let''s not think


    about it now. Let''s drink our problems away tonight. There''s plenty of time for you toe to a decision


    tomorrow."
