After a few minutes, everyone gathered backstage.

Hathaway looked around as she stood in the center and announced, “There are two things that I would like to inform everyone about for today’s meeting.”

After she spoke, she paused before continuing “Due to personal reasons, Kathleen will be absent from the performance this time.”

“What? Kathleen can’t participate in the performance?”

“Without Kathleen, what will happen to the position of the concertmaster?”

“Is the performance going to be canceled?”

Hathaway had already expected she would witness such a boisterous scene when she decided to make the announcement earlier.

She clapped her hands and motioned everyone to quiet down. Then, she reassured everyone. “Don’t worry. I will not cancel the performance.”

“If the performance is not canceled, who will take over Kathleen’s position?” asked an orchestra member.
