His Unveiled Passion

"I'm so sleepy," Tessa murmured in a soft voice.

The company executives who were present in the meeting room could not hear

what Tessa was saying on the other end of the line, but they could see how

Stephen's eyes had softened, a stark contrast to his normally stoic and cold

demeanor.

The executives who had almost nodded off were suddenly jolted awake. They

would never have imagined that they would be able to witness something

scandalous just by attending a meeting.

It was exciting to see how Stephen, who typically seemed repulsed by most

women, treated his girlfriend with fondness and affection.

The executives in the meeting room wore various expressions, but one person's

expression twisted in annoyance. This was, of course, referring to Hazel Everhart,noveldrama

Jacobson Corporation's newly appointed director of the planning department.

Stephen seemed like a different person when he conversed with Tessa over the

phone. He was patient and warm-the complete opposite of the image that Hazel

had of him. Stephen was supposed to be aloof and strict. He didn't smile and

treated everyone icily, keeping everyone at an arm's length.

By now, she had worked at Jacobson Corporation for half a month. She hadn't

spoken a word to Stephen that wasn't related to work. She had tried to get his

contact information but had failed to do so. Thus, she was forced to contact his

assistant, Samson, when she needed to communicate with Stephen.

Hazel curled her hand into a tight fist when she saw how Stephen was showing off

his loving relationship with Tessa in front of everyone without a care in the world.

Her heart was filled with dissatisfaction.

When Tessa finally got out of bed, Stephen had even gently asked her if she

wanted to have lunch together in the afternoon. However, his suggestion seemed

to have been rejected since his voice took on a disappointed tone. He then asked,

"Are you free tonight?"

"I have to go home tonight," Tessa replied.

Of course, she was referring to the Yates residence.

"Alright, then."

When the people in the meeting room heard Stephen's response, they couldn't

help but wonder if he had been rejected, not once but twice.

Hazel's face darkened. She wondered when Stephen had gotten together with

this girlfriend of his.

When she arrived at Jacobson

Corporation, she snooped around

and discovered that Stephen was

single. Who was the one who had

struck first and snatched Stephen

away from right under her nose?

...

Samuel and a few of his business partners were sharing a meal in a VIP private

room. After they had discussed business, they began to chat idly about other

things.

"Congratulations, Samuel," a Medicenean man who looked to be in his 50s said

with a grin.

Samuel looked at him with confusion written all over his face. "Why are you

congratulating me?"

The man said, "Your family is about to receive some splendid news."

"What splendid news?"

"Look at you still playing dumb with

me. Obviously, I'm talking about the

marriage between your daughter

and the Jacobson family's son.

Becoming in-laws with the

Jacobsons is a splendid thing, so

why are you still trying to hide it

from us?"

Samuel was stunned for a moment before his face hardened. "Who told you that

we're going to become in-laws with the Jacobsons?"

Seeing how Samuel's expression had darkened, the man was also stunned

momentarily.

"Don't you know that your daughter is dating the heir of the Jacobson family? Two

days ago, my little rascal of a son attended Marissa Scott's birthday party.

"He saw how Tessa and Stephen

were glued to the hip with his own

two eyes. He's not the only one too.

Many other people saw them

together. Don't tell me that you didn't

know about this?"

Samuel said nothing in response, but his face had turned as dark as night.

Realizing that the current topic of conversation was going in a strange direction,

the man quickly changed the subject.
