Always Been Yours

Chapter 216

Just what is the reason for them to shut me out? Just as Tessa was racking her head to figure out the problem, her phone started ringing. It was her old music director, Trevor!

As soon as the call connected, Trevor spoke first. “Tessa, have you been interviewing around?”

She was puzzled to hear those words. She had not told anybody about her interviews-even Timothy did not know about this. “How did you know, Mr. Oswald?”

He sighed. “We are all in the same industry, so it’s only natural for the other music directors and I to interact with each other. That’s how I heard that you’ve been interviewing everywhere.”

She was speechless and did not know what to say. She initially assumed that she had been very secretive about how she had been interviewing around. Even her younger brother was clueless about this matter, so it should have been impossible for outsiders to know. Who could have known that news of her being rejected everywhere had already spread throughout the industry? However, this was not the time to wonder why everybody knew about this. It was more important to know why this was happening.

She hesitated for a long time before asking in a hoarse voice, “But, why—”

“I know what you’re wondering. But, you’re such a smart person. Can’t you tell? You’re being targeted. None of the orchestras in Brentwood City would willingly risk being shut down by hiring you. Tessa, we’ve known each other for so long. I hope you give up on the interviews. No matter what you do, the outcome will be the same.”

At first, Trevor thought that she would understand on her own. Contrary to his expectations, he continued to receive news about how she was going around interviewing everywhere even though it

had been days since she first got declined. She was stuck in a constant and daily cycle of attending interviews and being rejected.

Despite being rejected repeatedly, she continued running around and asking everywhere. She worked tirelessly, like a spinning top that could not stop. It was all in hopes that one of the orchestras would take her in.

He originally did not want to tell her such a terrible truth, but he could not bear to continue watching her struggle. After all, he was well aware of how hardworking and inherently talented she was. It was for this reason that she could not withstand such a shock.

If she continued to fail at her interviews, she might start to doubt her abilities. In the end, she might never muster up the courage to play the violin again. That would be a great loss to the music industry.

He couldn’t bear to watch a rising new star fall just like that. Therefore, he decided to call her to remind her of her circumstances. He hoped that she would not be discouraged just because nobody was hiring her This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

When Tessa heard those words, she was shocked to the core. It’s the Sawyer Family again?

She had felt that something was odd during her interview, but she was so focused on looking for a job that she did not think about the Sawyer Group. Allirol, she had assumed that her past performance in the Heavenly Chorus Orchestralacollenderlher peers, so that was why they refused to accept her. It never occurred to her that it was inually the Sawyer Group pulling the strings from the shadows to make everybody avoid berlike the plague,

It was not until she heard the truth from Trevor that she fully understood the situation,

She did not know how she ended the call or what she said before ending the call. All she knew was that her head was filled with thoughts of rushing to Nicholas and asking him why they were doing this to her. Why must they force me into a corner like this?

After further consideration, she immediately dismissed the notion that Nicholas was behind all of this. She was certain that he was not the mastermind. The di day and night. Their statuses were so far apart that they were like two parallel lines. As long as nothing went wrong, these two lines would never intersect with each other. If he did not wish to approach her, then he could just choose to not meet her again. There was no need for him to bring Gregory to visit her again and again.

In that case, there was only one answer-the mastermind was Stefania.

Could it be that she regarded it as a breach of contract because I met Greg a few times after I resigned? Just because of that, she refuses to tolerate my presence? Stefania is too much for doing that! Thinking that, Tessa furiously made an appointment to meet with Stefania.

The two of them decided to meet at the cafe where they last met.

Having heard that Timothy had just established a company, Stefania assumed that Tessa was meeting her this time to ask for more money.
