His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 501

Tessa lifted her gaze to look at Stephen. Her lips quivered a little before she said, "Seeing that you canceled your trip just to explain to me what was happening, I'll forgive you this time. But…"

Tessa paused for a moment.

"But what?" Stephen asked.

"But you made me upset. I'm very angry." Tessa was wearing a severe expression on her face. "Hazel is harboring malicious intentions, so you need to fire her."

Stephen didn't hesitate before answering, "Of course, I've already fired her. I'm also going to make sure that she pays for what she did tonight."

Tessa continued coldly, "For the next half month, you're not allowed to appear before me."

"That won't do," came Stephen's immediate rejection.

His voice dropped low when he implored, "Half a month is too long. Every day that I spend without seeing your face feels like an entire year to me."

"And how does that concern me?" Tessa replied, her expression calm.

"Change your terms."

"Not only are you rejecting my terms, but you're also trying to bargain with me?" Tessa's expression was frigid when she continued, "That's enough out of you. Go home. I want to sleep now."

"Tess…"

"Don't forget. Half a month. If you break the terms, I'll ignore you for the rest of my life."

…

Half a month later, Tessa was at a resort villa that belonged to Yates Corporation.

The villa was decorated such that the scenery was picturesque all year round. It was equipped with a variety of basic facilities and offered plenty of leisurely activities for visitors to partake in. As a result, the tourism industry had developed rather successfully around it.

The villa had areas that were open to the public and also areas that were restricted for private use. One such area was the bathing pool, which was reserved for Tessa's personal use.

The pool was located in an antique garden surrounded by evergreen trees. Birds chirped among the branches, while flowers bloomed and spread their floral fragrance in the air. It was a breathtaking sight.
