Chapter 543
Tessa explained herself honestly before she shot a nervous glance in Hathaway's direction.
Hathaway raised an eyebrow when she noticed the uneasy look on Tessa's face. "Arc you
blaming me for not giving you the opportunity to perform?"
"No, that's not what I meant. Please don't misunderstand me, Miss Hathaway." Tessa hastily
waved her arms to deny the other woman's words. "I know you're not arranging performances for
me because I am not skilled enough."
Hathaway laughed when she saw the flustered look on Tessa's face. "Alright, I was just kidding.”
Hathaway's expression turned serious after that. "Other orchestras might not agree with your
way of thinking, but I don't mind allowing you to go out there just to get some experience.”
"Really?" She gazed at Hathaway excitedly.
Hathaway nodded and smiled. "I agree with what you said, music is all around us, and there are

"Thank you, Miss Hathaway." Tessa was extremely grateful for Hathaway's choice to keep an open
mind. However, Hathaway beamed at her student before she continued suggesting. "If you want to
experience the outside world, I suggest you look for performing opportunities in high-end restaurants.
You can treat it as an internship."
"That’s what I thought as well." Tessa hadn't expected Hathaway to share the same thoughts as her, so
she continued to share some of her other opinions. Hathaway quietly listened to Tessa's words while
adding a few comments to correct her thought process when needed. Eventually, their conversation
shifted to the orchestra's upcoming arrangements. "The timing is just right. Once you're done with your
internship, I'm planning to form a second orchestra. You'll have to give them a solo performance then."
"Did you say you're planning to form a second orchestra?" Tessa was shocked.
Hathaway nodded. "The first team is already familiar with one another, so I don't need to worry about
them. Furthermore, the musicians in the first team are pretty well trained, so I figured that it's time to
form a second team.” She gazed at Tessa hopefully as she spoke.''I'm planning to let you handle the
second team, so you'll have to work hard. I'm sure you won't let me down."
Tessa was shocked to hear this good news, and it took her a while to digest it before nodding happily.
"I'll definitely work hard to deserve that position, Miss Hathaway."
Hathaway gave Tessa a satisfied look when she saw how driven Tessa was. At the start, when she first
agreed to take Tessa as a student, it wasn't just because she was talented but also because she was a
very driven person who knew exactly what she wanted and how she could achieve her goals."! believe
you'll be able to do it," Hathaway responded resolutely.
That night, after their practice, Tessa went over to a few colleagues she was closer to in terms of
friendship. "Let's have dinner tonight. It's on me," she offered.
The colleagues all agreed and headed out with Tessa happily. They went to a western restaurant that
had a rather pleasant ambiance. The group of them sat by the window and chit-chatted with one
another about music, fashion, and other things.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Do you guys know any places that require performers?" Tessa asked during dinner.
"Why are you asking about this, Tessa?" The few of them were stunned as they gazed at her in
bewilderment.
She didn't bother to conceal her intentions as she said, "Miss Hathaway has already agreed to
let me find a chance to train myself outside, but I am unfamiliar with the place, so I wanted to ask
you guys about it."
All her colleagues were extremely envious of her when they heard her words. "Hathaway's too
nice to you, Tessa. I can't believe she allowed you to venture out for other opportunities,"
someone said, and the others nodded in agreement.
Tessa beamed without commenting any further. "So, do you guys know of any such places?"
"There are way too many of such places in Vienna. It depends on what you're looking for."
A few colleagues exchanged glances before they began to brainstorm for Tessa. "I don't have
any specific requests, but I guess I would prefer more high-end locations. I would prefer my
guests to hold me to some standard so that I can also train myself." "That's true. The more high-
end places would definitely have higher standards." Her colleagues nodded in affirmation.
