Marissa called out to Stephen, "Stevie, what a coincidence! Are you here to see Tessa to discuss one of your company's litigation cases, too?"
Marissa and Tessa were on friendly terms now.
After Tessa saved her, Marissa was deeply grateful to her. As they spent more time together, she was eventually impressed by Tessa's character and personality. They bonded so well that at one point, she wondered, "Just where have you been all my life, Tessa?"
Still, even though she was now friends with Tessa, that didn't mean that her feelings for Stephen had changed.
So, Marissa was still somewhat upset when she saw him seek Tessa out at the law firm.
Stephen paused in his tracks and looked over. "I'm not here for business. I came because I wanted to see her."
It was more than obvious just what he was implying.
The smile on Marissa's face stiffened.
However, she quickly composed herself and said, "I'm here to see her as well. Why don't we head up together?"
Meanwhile, Tessa had just left her office and was walking over to Jasmine's desk to go over some work-related matters with her.
She was just going into detail when she caught sight of a pair walking toward her from the corner of her eye. She blinked at the sight and wondered, "Why are Stephen and Marissa coming in together?"
Their appearance together immediately breathed life into whispered discussions around them.
They were indirectly giving birth to all sorts of rumors by walking into the office side by side like that. After all, they were both attractive individuals. So, it was no wonder that the staff in her office couldn't help but gossip about Stephen and Marissa.
"Tessa, I ran into Stevie downstairs just now, so we came up together," Marissa said with a smile as she approached Tessa.
Tessa couldn't help but notice that Marissa was explaining herself. It was as if she were worried that Tessa might misunderstand.
Tessa looked away and hummed indifferently.

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....
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....
