His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 329
Stephen's voice was filled with amusement as he asked, "Has the afternoon tea been delivered?"
"So it really was you," Tessa said, her tone unreadable as she lowered her gaze
"Did you manage to guess that it was me? Lester treated me to coffee, so I decided to return the favor by treating the company to some afternoon tea. I've never liked owing anyone anything, after all," Stephen replied with a chuckle.
When Stephen last went to Everbright Law Group, he had noticed there were a lot of young people there. The receptionist, lawyer assistants, and several lawyers seemed to be all under 30.
He had then asked Samson what young people liked to eat and drink, and Samson had given him a list of options.
Stephen then turned to Samson and instructed, "I want you to order some afternoon tea for everyone in Tess' company. "
Since Lester was trying to win people over with coffee, he would treat them all to a mountain of snacks.
Samson had always been thorough with his work. As Stephen's assistant, he knew about Stephen's feelings toward Tessa. Hence, he knew he had to order the best of the best when ordering food for the employees of Tessa's law firm.
All the milkshakes he had ordered were made of fresh milk and the ripest produce, whereas the fruit teas were made from imported fruits. Meanwhile, all the cakes were bought from the famous Black Swan Bakery.
Tessa's lips twitched when she heard Stephen's reply. Was he really doing it because he did not like owing people? Tessa didn't even want to call him out on his lie.
He had come into the law firm early that morning, claiming that the firm was his. Now, he was competing with Lester over coffee.
Tessa thought about how everyone had been working hard lately and how bad it was to waste so much food. Not to mention, she could not return the food and drinks as everything had already arrived.
Hence, she could only comply and ask, "How much did you spend on everything? I'll transfer the money to you."
She was capable of treating her team to some food and drinks with her own money. There was no need for her to owe Stephen anything.
Stephen smiled and said amusedly, "Ms. Yates, I didn't buy those food and drinks for you, so why should you transfer me the money?
"You'll be assigning my company's cases to the team, am I right? I just wanted to win them over. That way, they won't feel so much resentment when they're working on my case."
Tessa was dumbfounded. Frowning, she asked, "What are you trying to say? Are you saying that my employees are holding a lot of resentment because they're working for me?"
Smiling, Stephen said, "It's obvious that you don't understand how your employees feel. No one likes to work, so no matter what, everyone holds at least a tiny bit of resentment when they come to work."
In truth, Stephen was someone who didn't understand his employees either. Samson had been the one to tell him everything Stephen had just said.
Tessa was left speechless, but she had to admit that she did indeed hold some resentment back when she was working for other people.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
Whats wrong with the typing?? There a lot of weird words...
