Yves gave a short laugh. "Judging by your reaction, I guess you didn't win her over."
Lester discarded a card without changing his expression. "When are you and Nina getting back together?"
The question instantly wiped the smile off Yves' face. "That hit a sore spot," he muttered, looking deflated.
Lester's smile remained cool and flawless. "I learn from the best."
Nina Prescott had been an intern under Yves and was also his ex-girlfriend. They had dated for over half a year.
After she obtained her license, she left for another firm. They both had demanding jobs, with little time for dates or companionship. Over time, their relationship faded.
She was the one who initiated the breakup, while Yves had been the one who couldn't let go. Lately, he had been trying to win her back, but so far, all his efforts had been in vain.
After that question, Yves fell silent.
…
Jasmine and Molly dominated the karaoke room. Both were good singers and rarely put the microphones down.
Tessa stayed for a while longer before getting up to use the restroom.
The suite had separate facilities for men and women. Unfortunately, the ladies' room was occupied. She had no choice but to use the public restroom outside the private suite.
She stepped out into the hallway and made her way to the women's restroom.
On her way back, a hand suddenly yanked her aside just as she turned a corner. A strong stench of alcohol hit her nose.
She frowned in disgust and looked up to find Zachary, flushed and clearly drunk, staring at her with hazy eyes.
Tessa pulled her arm free and glared at him coldly. "Move."
"Tessy, have you been well lately?" His eyes were dazed but fixed on her as if in desperate longing.

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....
