Chapter 943 I Won’t Let You Grow
When Sofia came to the practice room to coach Tessa on her technique, she found the
piece the young woman practiced was very unfamiliar to her yet emotion-filled.
Moreover, she could picture the piece fully just from listening to it, and she couldn’t get
enough of it. Gradually, she was sucked into the melody.
Tessa, on the other hand, was so focused on practicing that she hadn’t noticed someone
at the door until the piece ended.
“How long have you been standing there, Miss Sofia?” she asked with shock.
“I just got here. You were practicing, so I didn’t want to bother you,” said Sofia with a
smile as she came back to reality. “By the way, what piece were you playing? How come
I’ve never heard of it before?”
“It’s my original piece, but it’s still a work in progress,” Tessa explained and couldn’t help
wanting Sofia’s opinion. “What do you think of it?”
“Very nice. The arrangement is pretty ingenious, and the mood is also rich, making people
resonate with the piece very easily. Very good. You’ve done so much better than the last
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttime,” Sofia complemented unstintingly.
Tessa’s smile widened upon hearing this, but instead of letting the praises get to her head,
she humbly asked Sofia for any advice she could give.
As it was a present for Nicholas, she hoped it would be perfect.
Indeed, Sofia pointed out a few minor issues. “This part here, I think you can slow down
half a beat when you enter allegro. Dragging the note a little longer will make it sound
more tender. Also, I think you dragged it a little here. There are also some issues with your
fingering.”
Tessa took Sofia’s advice so seriously that she even noted it down on pen and paper,
causing Sofia to quirk a brow and tease, “Is this piece so important to you?”
“The mister’s birthday is coming up, and I intend to give this to him as a present,” Tessa
explained somewhat bashfully.
“Is that so?” said Sofia with revelation. “Make it a good one, then.”
Tessa nodded.
Following that, Sofia gave a few more pointers before leaving.
But lo and behold, Susan, who was passing by, overheard their conversation, and the
jealousy in her eyes burned ablaze as she looked at the young woman practicing alone in
the practice room.
She was surprised that Tessa had grown to a degree she could only dream of.
No, this woman can’t grow any further!
At that, a diabolical plan came to her.
That evening, Tessa did a quick tidy-up after her practice and left.
The next second, Susan appeared by the practice room door and looked to her left and
right after watching Tessa leave the building. Seeing that no one was around, she hurriedly
opened the door and snuck into the practice room.
Interestingly enough, this was her first time entering Tessa’s practice room, and she felt
absolutely jealous as she looked at the interior.
The musical instruments here were more complete than their orchestra’s, and she could
tell from some details that everything in there was specifically made for Tessa.
“Why is that b*tch so damn lucky?!” she cussed through gnashed teeth but hadn’t
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmforgotten her purpose either.
In no time, she found Tessa’s manuscript in the desk drawer, and her jealousy once again
burned upon seeing the piece.
As a mature musician, she could tell it was a fine piece, and Tessa would certainly become
even more famous if this piece was brought to the public.
“I will absolutely not let you grow further than this, b*tch!”
At that, she took parts of the manuscript and left the practice room.
When she left the building, her heart raced wildly—probably due to the misconduct she
had created—and her nerves only eased when she arrived home.
Right after entering her room, she pulled the stolen manuscript out.
Of course, she had deliberately only taken parts of the manuscript as it could only be
scandalized easily if it was incomplete.
In reality, she had already devised a follow-up plan.
She intended to give this piece to a musician who was making an album lately. By the time
Tessa released her complete piece, she’d surely be accused of plagiarism!
