Chapter 616
A look of surprise appeared on Mona and Scott’s faces at the musical sound cutting through the
air.
“This zither sounds remarkable!”
Tessa nodded in agreement and thought that the sound was indeed sui generis. It was smooth, but it had a sharp quality to it, and her teacher would definitely like it.
“This is it. The present for Miss Hathaway will be this zither. Please wrap it up for me.” Her last sentence was meant for the shop assistant.
Mona was inspired by Tessa’s choice and started browsing the room when she saw that Tessa had already made a purchase.
“Tessa, what type of instrument is this?”
Suddenly, she pointed to an intricate lute and looked at Tessa.
She immediately looked over and explained, “This is also a string instrument native to my country.”
Mona’s eyes lit up in excitement when she heard Tessa’s explanation. “What about the sound?

How is it?”
“Why don’t I try it out for you, and you can listen to it before deciding on your gift?”
That was more than Mona could ask for, so she eagerly accepted the suggestion. “That would be amazing! Thanks!”
Half an hour later, all three of them had selected their gifts-Mona chose the lute, and even though Scott didn’t pick a string instrument, he settled with a drawing instead.
Since almost all his previous presents were string instruments in the past few years, he decided to switch things up a little this year.
When it was time to pay, the butler had already paid the bill for Tessa.
However, Mona and Scott had received a discount from the shop because of Nicholas.
When they left after paying, Mona couldn’t help but exclaim in wonderment, “I always have good fortune when I’m around you, Tessa.”
Tessa was amused, and Scott brought up the idea of having dinner together, to which the girls agreed.
Hence, the three of them went to a Western restaurant with a pleasant ambiance. During their meal, Scott received a call from Kathleen.
“Scott, I heard that you’re back after a successful performance. Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together.”
“Next time, maybe. I already have an appointment tonight.”
“Really? Who beat me to it?”
He said truthfully with a slight chuckle, “It’s Miss Reinhart and Mona.”
On the other end, Kathleen heard the answer she was expecting and clutched the cell phone in her hand tightly in fury.
That b*tch, Tessa Reinhart. She already has a boyfriend but keeps stringing other men along! she cursed silently, completely overlooking Mona.
Despite her boiling anger, her voice sounded normal, and nobody could tell that she was irked by the facade she had on.
“I see, so it’s Tessa. I won’t bother you, then. I’ll ask you out next time.”
