Tessa's cheeks turned red once again, but it was now from embarrassment. "Did you do it on purpose?"
What happened just now had been an accident! It was an accident! Did Lester think that she had kissed Stephen in her office?
She didn't care if Lester would feel uncomfortable or not. It also did not matter who had seen them. She just did not want anyone to misunderstand her relationship with Stephen.
Stephen turned to look at her and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You must have done it on purpose! You purposely inched closer toward me so that you could kiss me. You knew my lipstick had rubbed off on your cheek, so you purposely let Lester see it. Am I right?" Tessa exclaimed through gritted teeth.
Shrugging, Stephen smiled and said, "I did want to kiss you, but I didn't know that I'd accidentally rub your lipstick off on me."
"Stop pretending. If you didn't know, then why would you smile at Lester just now?" Tessa asked with a scoff.
Feigning innocence, he replied, "Did I? I didn't mean to laugh. I just couldn't help myself because I was feeling too ecstatic from kissing my beloved darling."
"Stephen!" Tessa couldn't hold it in anymore. She quickly grabbed a box of tissues from her desk and threw it at him.
He quickly caught the box of tissues and exclaimed, "I'm here!"
Stephen grinned, and his eyes glimmered, shining brightly like the sun.
"Who's your darling? You shouldn't call me that. I hate people who flirt around. So, get out of my office now!" Tessa said as she pointed at her office door, glaring daggers at him.
Seeing that he was done shredding her papers, he listened and walked toward her door. "Alright. If you need help with such tasks in the future, you can always come to me for help."
As soon as he left Tessa's office, he ran into Jasmine.
"Hello, Mr. Jacobson," Jasmine greeted him with a smile, but when she saw the lipstick smudge at the corner of his lips, she immediately paused.

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...
