While they were having dinner, Wynn waited in the car, unaware of the tense atmosphere inside the restaurant.
Of course, she was curious but didn't ask. After all, it was a personal matter involving her boss, and she should not get involved.
Inside the elevator, Tessa leaned slightly toward her younger sister.
"Seline, don't tell Mom and Dad about having dinner with Stephen today, alright?"
Seline nodded obediently. "Got it, Tessa."
"Good girl."
…
Back in her room, Tessa checked the phone. There was a message from Lester.
"Did you get home safely?"
"Just arrived," she replied.
"Get some rest. Good night."
…
The next morning, an unexpected guest appeared at Tessa's law firm.
Marissa walked in wearing a light, tailored suit, a Hermes handbag hanging from her arm. Her confident strides immediately drew attention.
"Wow! Who is that? She's gorgeous and looks so composed."
"A client? Or someone applying for a position?"
"Definitely a client. She gives off major CEO vibes."
"Agreed. She looks like she owns ten companies, and it's not like she's here to clock in."
"That face, that figure… absolute perfection."
Marissa heard the hushed whispers and let a faint smile tug at her lips.
She walked over to a young woman's desk and spoke in a friendly tone.
"Hi, I didn't see anyone at the front desk, so I thought I'd ask directly. Could you tell me where Ms. Yates' office is?"
Jasmine was briefly stunned. A stunning woman like her speaking so politely caught her off guard.
"Thank you. I heard you've opened your own firm and wanted to stop by. Also, I have a case I'd like to consult with you about," Marissa said.
Tessa raised a brow. "Oh? What kind of case?"
Sienna had sent Tessa background information on Marissa before. Tessa already knew Marissa was the CEO of a listed company.
A woman like her would certainly have an in-house legal team. What kind of case would she need to hand off?
Marissa pulled out her phone. "Let's add each other on WhatsApp. I'll forward you the case documents my assistant sent earlier."
"Alright."
They added each other, and a moment later, the file came through.
"I'll leave this one in your hands, Ms. Yates," Marissa said with a faint smile on her lips.
Tessa took a sip of tea. "Let's go over the basics first, Ms. Scott."
"Of course," Marissa replied.
She lifted her own cup and smiled. "This tea is quite good."

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
I know this isn’t Stephen’s fault but I still hated how he was so careless around this bitch even after Tessa already told him it’s obvious that this bitch likes him and she looked at Tessa with hostility. If Tessa breaks up with him again, I’ll even support her. Ugh. Good luck on winning Tessa back again, Stephen. Tss. I so hate these updates....
Nooooo! Not again! We don't need a twist like this. Is it too hard for the writer to conclude with..."and they live happily ever after"?...
Finally getting Stephen and Tess back together then to tear them apart with foolishness. This is craziness...
Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
