Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 61

Eddy looked at Shirley with a mixture of melancholy and helplessness. “You do have some talent for the harp, but it’s rather limited. Yet, you’re so confident in yourself. As your mentor, it’s hard for me to constantly discourage you, so I haven’t told you that you played badly.”

Shirley couldn’t believe this was the truth.

Eddy’s expression immediately turned stern. He firmly held his cane to thud on the ground and declared, “Of course, she’s better than me! Otherwise, why else would I treat her with such respect?

Shirley’s eyes widened in disbelief again.

She thought, ‘Not only do I have to apologize to her, but I also have to

thank her?’
