It will only be tough for me to get along with Kathleen, but Miss Hathaway is still a sensible person. Besides, we are not on the same team. Hathaway Philharmonic will have many performances coming up, so I don’t have to deal with her much. I’ll be fine.”

“Sure. I’ll definitely tell you,” Tessa promised, wrapping her arms around his waist with a bright grin on her face.
