That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 301

His gaze was intense as he stared unblinkingly at the stage.

The confidence Tessa was currently displaying was something he had never seen before. He felt that Tessa was like an uncut gem that was polished and finally shining at this moment.

Looks like this is her dream... he thought.

For some reason, seeing Tessa like this made Nicholas’ anger gradually subside. He truly couldn’t bring himself to hate her…

Two hours later, the concert finally ended. Tessa walked off the stage with the other orchestra members while holding ‘Nirvana. The two-hour performance had left her arms sore. But even so, it couldn’t affect her good mood.

When they arrived backstage, everyone started to relax and spread out to find a place to rest.

At this moment, the music director walked over with a smile. “Everyone has worked hard, and today’s performance was very successful, especially Tessa, who performed exceptionally well. Many people have asked me about you earlier.”

He briefly concluded the performance and praised the musicians who performed well. Tessa was highlighted amongst them and praised by him, making her extremely happy.

When Scott saw the beautiful smile on the girl’s face, he seemed to have been infected, as the smile on his face brightened too. He said in a gentle voice, “Congratulations. You’re going to become famous overnight.”

Tessa was embarrassed as she heard his compliment. “Actually, I should be thanking you, Mr. Brooks. If it weren’t for your guidance, I might not have played so well.”

“Nonetheless, this is the result of your hard work,” Scott replied as he declined Tessa’s thanks. He felt that he didn’t play that big of a role.

Tessa wanted to say something else, but there was a burst of cheers before she could speak. It turned out that the music director had finished his summary and had just announced that they could have dinner and enjoy themselves. Everyone was talking about where to eat and have fun.

Scott turned to Tessa and asked, “Do you have any plans?”

“I’m not up for anything. I just want to rest after this.” Tessa shook her head as she declined his invitation.

The injury she suffered earlier wasn’t healed yet, coupled with the extensive practice over the past two days and the high-intensity tension during the performance. Her arms were so tired that she could barely lift them.

Scott wasn’t aware of this, so he continued to persuade her. “The party won’t end very late.”

Tessa hesitated but eventually refused and told him about her injury.

When Scott heard this, worry flashed across his dark eyes. “When were you injured? Why didn’t you mention it?”

Tessa didn’t want to talk about her past, so she just gave him a short answer. “It’s not a big deal, so I didn’t say anything.”

Scott sensed that Tessa didn’t want to talk about it, so he stopped pursuing his line of questioning

“In that case, I won’t force you, but you have to take good care of yourself. I know a good physician. After we’re dismissed, I’ll bring you there and let him give you a proper massage.”

Tessa was a little stunned. “Mr. Brooks, you’re not going to dinner with them?”

“We can have dinner anytime, but you need to get treated now.”

Scott fixed Tessa with a solemn and grave look. “You have to remember that your hands are very precious as a violinist, and there can be no damage.”

As she was faced with such a strict Scott, Tessa felt like she was having flashbacks of the dean of high school. Só, at the end of the day, all she could do was obediently agree to his arrangement.

Not long after, everyone had everything packed up and was prepared to leave, so Scott brought Tessa to the music director and asked for the night off.

As soon as he learned that Tessa’s hands were injured, the music director made a few concerned remarks before dismissing them.
