Chapter 972 First Solo Album
“Five million times?” Tessa exclaimed, completely taken off guard. The number of
downloads for her songs could be said to have absolutely exceeded her expectations.
As Sofia finally saw Tessa’s rare state in which she lost all her poise, Sofia burst into
laughter and teased, “You’re now the darling of our orchestra.”
However, Tessa shook her head and declined modestly, “Miss Sofia, that’s too high of a
praise. I’m not the darling of the orchestra. The true sensations of our orchestra are you
and the rest of the seniors.”
Sofia nodded in satisfaction as she looked at Tessa, who was neither arrogant nor
impetuous despite achieving such heights after a short period of time. After that, with a bit
of fondness in her tone, she added, “My dear… You’re too modest.”
Tessa only smiled in response.
At this moment, Sofia suddenly changed the topic of the conversation and said, “You’re
almost done with your training now. Initially, I’ve been contemplating which route you
should take for your musical career development, but seeing that you’re now so popular
online, I plan to let you go solo for the time being. What do you think?”
“I’ll listen to your suggestions, Miss Sofia,” replied Tessa sincerely, for she genuinely
believed that Sofia only meant well and she wouldn’t stoop so low as to harm her career.
Once again, Sofia nodded in gratification. “Since you’re fine with the idea, I plan to
produce an album for the songs you have composed so far. We’re going to test the water

first, and if the album receives a good response from the public, then you can hold a solo
concert.”
When Tessa heard that, she was momentarily stunned—shocked yet delighted at what
Sofia had in store for her future.
“Miss Sofia, I certainly will do my best in composition and live up to your expectations.”
“I have faith in you.” Sofia patted Tessa on the shoulder, both in reassurance and
encouragement.
Then, the two further discussed the details of Tessa’s future album for a moment longer.
At the end of their discussion, Sofia suddenly recalled something and offered her weighty
advice. “Although you’re very popular now, you still have to settle down and focus on your
musical training. You still have a long way to go, so don’t be infatuated with temporary
fame.”
Tessa knew that Sofia was worried that she would become arrogant by the achievement
she’d accomplished, so she nodded earnestly and replied, “I understand.”
Once she arrived home that night, she eagerly shared the great news with Nicholas. “I’ll
probably be quite busy after today, so there’s a chance I may not be able to chat with you
on the phone daily.”
It would be a lie that he didn’t mind that their time together would be cut short further,
but he still replied in approval, “It’s alright. You can call me when you’re free, but you must
not wear yourself out and make me worried.”
As Tessa’s loving husband, Nicholas naturally supported her dream. The only thing that he
worried most about was Tessa’s health.
Gregory, too, was happy for Tessa. As he sat beside her, he flattered Tessa in every
possible way that he could, “Mommy, you’re really amazing!”
Later, in the following days, Tessa began to focus her mind and soul on her new
composition.
Sofia was there for her and gave Tessa advice to improve her composition when she
needed some help. Suffice to say, she was as invested in the preparation of the album
recording as Tessa.
This album meant the world to Tessa since this was her first solo album. Hence, Sofia also
attached great importance to the music production process.
Because of this, the recording process this time focused heavily on the details—which was
entirely different from the casual recording they did previously.
Soon, news about Tessa preparing for a solo album spread in the orchestra.
“I’m really envious. Why am I not Miss Sofia’s student?”
“With Miss Sofia personally orchestrating the music production, Tessa seems to be one
step closer to becoming a total celebrity.”
“What should I do? I’m super duper jealous of her.”
“It’s pointless for you to be envious and jealous. We can’t blame Tessa. It’s us who aren’t
as talented as her.”
“You’re right. Gosh, sometimes comparison could cause one to lose sight of themselves.”
As everyone discussed this piece of hot gossip, they still didn’t forget to congratulate
Tessa on the milestones she’d achieved.
Meanwhile, as Tessa’s senior apprentices, Kellen and Daniela also planned to congratulate

They had initially asked Eunice to join them, but Eunice declined their invitation.
After all, Eunice had always disliked Tessa. So, why would she bother to congratulate
Tessa?
As for Tessa’s other seniors, they couldn’t congratulate her in person as they weren’t in
Vienna as they were busy with their own musical performances overseas.
Tessa, on the other hand, knew nothing about this. Yet, she was still thrilled when she saw
her two seniors paying her a visit.
“Kellen. Daniela. What brings you two here?”
At the same time, Gregory, who was beside Tessa, also addressed the two obediently. “Mr.
Kellen. Miss Daniela.”
“Hey, Greg. You’re as charming as ever.”
After the two greeted Gregory, they began stating their purpose of visit and began kindly,
“We heard that you’re going to release an album, so we drop by to congratulate you and
check if you need our help with anything.”
Tessa felt a rush of warmth flowing in her heart when she heard Kellen and Daniela’s
caring words. “I think I’m doing alright for now. But the future is always uncertain, so if I
need your help in the future, I certainly won’t hesitate to ask you guys for all the help I
need.”
“Not a problem. Don’t ever think of yourself as a burden. We’d be delighted to lend a
hand.”
Just like that, they chatted and had a wonderful time with each other’s company.
Later in the evening, Tessa suddenly felt slightly stressed after seeing Kellen and Daniela
off.
