Chapter 974 Well Done
After they arrived, Tessa realized that there were many people in Sofia’s place—all of
which were members of the orchestra and her fellow senior apprentices. Eunice was also
among them.
She was pretty disappointed to see that the person following Tessa wasn’t Nicholas. On
the other hand, Tessa didn’t notice Eunice’s unhidden dismay. Instead, she brought
Gregory with her while she politely greeted all her seniors and the other members.
Mona also followed suit and greeted everyone present courteously. For that reason alone,
others had a relatively good impression of her. Suddenly, at this moment, Eunice asked,
”Tessa, where’s Mr. Sawyer? Why didn’t he come?”
At once, the smile on Tessa’s face slightly faded when she heard Eunice’s question.
Likewise, others furrowed their eyebrows at her inappropriate line of inquiry.
Kellen nudged Eunice lightly as he reminded her. ”Eunice, that’s Tessa’s husband. Please
stop stirring up trouble. Miss Sofia might get angry at you.”
Unfortunately, Eunice ignored his well-meant advice completely. Instead, she continued to
ask Tessa, ”Why aren’t you saying anything, Tessa? I’m asking you: where’s Mr. Sawyer?”
”My husband has long since returned to Xerthania,” replied Tessa, emphasizing the word
husband. Yet, at the same time, she was utterly disgusted by Eunice’s behavior.
Even so, Eunice pretended not to hear it and said in surprise, ”He has gone back to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXerthania? When did he go back? Why didn’t I know?”
Tessa instantly felt a little irritated at the face of Eunice’s unrelenting questions.
Therefore, she didn’t hide her hostility as she retorted, ”Eunice, I don’t think there’s any
need for me to inform you of my husband’s affairs.”
Gregory, who stood next to Tessa, also nodded in agreement and echoed, ”Miss Eunice,
why do you keep asking about my Daddy?”
In an instant, Eunice’s face flushed with slight embarrassment when faced with Gregory’s
innocent question.
When the others saw the awful look on Eunice’s face, they ignored her and beckoned
Tessa and Mona to take their seats.
After they made themselves comfortable, Mona leaned closer to Tessa and praised her in a
low voice, ”Well done just now. There’s no need to be nice when dealing with such a
shameless woman.”
Despite thinking Mona’s words were amusing, she also felt that what Mona said was right.
She felt a lot better now, venting her anger when she saw fit, especially regarding
Eunice’s lack of boundaries.
Soon, dinner was ready.
The others followed Sofia to the dining room with happy steps, and Eunice was the only
one with a rather unpleasant look the entire way.
Everyone feigned ignorance at her clearly displeased mood while they enjoyed each
other’s company.
During the meal, everyone asked Tessa about her new song.
Tessa also answered them candidly, ”The song is almost ready and will be completed in
around two days.”
Kellen exclaimed in admiration, ”It’s only half a month, yet so many songs are almost
ready? As expected, you’re amazing!”
After that, one by one, the rest congratulated Tessa and hoped for the successful release
of her album.
”Based on Tessa’s ability, these songs will surely wow everyone!”
”I’m looking forward to the album release now. Tessa, hurry up and hold a solo concert. I
think your compositions’ live performance will be better than the album recording!”
”Tessa, you must reserve seats for us members of the orchestra when that time comes.”
Tessa naturally agreed to their enthusiastic suggestions, ”Thank you, everyone, for your
affirmation. No worries. I’ll definitely reserve the best seats for you all when I hold my
concert.”
”And me too. Tessa, don’t you forget about me,” Mona suddenly chimed in as she raised
her hand, unwilling to lag behind.
Tessa burst into laughter at her cheekiness and said, ”Don’t worry. I certainly won’t forget

At this moment, Sofia also took notice of Mona, so, as the party’s hostess, she graciously
gestured toward Mona, ”Tessa, aren’t you going to introduce your best friend to us?”
”I’ll let her introduce herself.”
As Tessa spoke, she turned sideways and gave Mona an encouraging look.
Mona, on the other hand, was a little overwhelmed with surprise. She didn’t expect Sofia
would actually notice her. Rather unused to the spotlight, she became nervous.
Finally, under Tessa’s urging, she took a deep breath, stood up, and introduced herself.
”Good evening, Miss Sofia. My name is Mona, and I’m a violinist in the Hathaway
Philharmonic. I’m a fan of yours too.”
Although she was a little stiff initially, her graceful behavior toward the end of the
introduction gave everyone an excellent impression of her.
Sofia nodded with a smile as she replied, ”Such a nice young lady. Have a seat.”
With that, Mona sat down obediently. Once her introduction was out of the way, it didn’t
take her long to mingle with the others.
Coupled with Gregory, who was a barrel of laughs, bursts of cheerful laughter constantly
echoed throughout the dining room.
It was already dark outside after they finished enjoying their scrumptious meal.
