Chapter 1071 I’ll Handle the Celebration Party
“This is nothing. This little bit of work on my part is nothing when I see how much you’ve achieved.”
Despite what Sofia had said, she still felt touched by Tessa’s care. After what happened with Eunice, she had even more appreciation for Tessa’s gracious and grateful traits.
While they were chatting, Sofia suddenly changed the topic and advised, “Although everyone outside is singing your praises, for now, I hope you won’t become arrogant and complacent because of this. You still have a long way to go. To put it bluntly, in addition to your superior skills, this special concert is so successful mainly because everyone is showing me some respect.”
From Tessa’s point of view, she didn’t feel belittled as she felt that not a single word from Sofia’s statement was false. At the same time, she wasn’t blinded by the overwhelming praise from outside. In contrast, she knew better than anyone else of her own capability.
Even though it was true that she improved a lot during this period, she couldn’t even begin to surpass her seniors with how she was now.
Those top musicians only complimented her because they could tell that Sofia was prepping her for her future. They didn’t mind being courteous toward Sofia’s student, especially when said student had the talent for it.

“Don’t worry, Miss Sofia. I won’t rest on my laurels. But, on the other hand, I’ll work even harder because of it so I can live up to those compliments.”
As Sofia regarded the young lady’s clear eyes, she knew that Tessa was sincere and wasn’t about to fall into the pitfall of conceit because of her sudden rise in fame, and she nodded in satisfaction.
“I’m assured knowing that’s how you think.”
Then she patted Tessa softly on the shoulder in gratification. Suffice to say, after those words, she held Tessa in higher regard because her other students back then didn’t even come close to displaying such composure when they encountered the same situation as Tessa.
They chatted for a while until the topic of the celebration party came up.
