Yet, she always kept a modest profile. Only the perceptive ones could truly understand the extent of her success.

The memory of the last time Patty's fans attacked her was still fresh in her mind. Not only did she face their criticism, but even those who supported her were also targeted by Patty's fans.

Today's world was so focused on entertainment. All she desired was to excel at her piano.

“I appreciate it, Mr. Gomez."

Whenever profits were on the line, she was on his mind!

"I'm sorry that I wasn't able to help this time."

“And did he yearn for your collaboration this time also?"

“Yes. He invited me to join a variety show with him but I refused." Bennett clicked his tongue lightly, a mischievous glint sparkling in his eyes as he said, "He seems to enjoy cooperating with you very much."

Claudia's gaze dipped to her phone's time display, and then ascended to meet Bennett's gaze as she pondered, “Could it be that I am considered @ paragon of professional prowess?"

Claudia couldn't help but find her own explanation slightly unconvincing, a hint of uncertainty tingeing her thoughts.

Yet, there was something peculiar about Bennett's tone that had her sensing a trace of jealousy woven into his words

As this notion took root, a radiant smile graced Claudia’s captivating eyes.
