"Let's talk after work, alright?" Tessa offered.
Then, she resumed her discussion with Jasmine about work. Once she was done laying everything out, she returned to her office, where Marissa was waiting for her.
At this point, Marissa had been visiting Tessa so often that Everbright Law Group might as well be her second home.
Tessa preferred having tea, so she had tons of high-quality tea leaves available in her office. Thus, she would end up serving Marissa tea whenever she dropped by.
Alas, Marissa didn't care much for tea as she had lived abroad for years. Instead, she preferred a good cup of coffee.
Plus, she was exceedingly particular about it, too.
She had high requirements from bean selection to the right brewing method for a particular bean.
As a result, she wouldn't drink just any coffee.
Two days ago, she even got Tessa a coffee machine. She had also bought the beans she favored to keep in Tessa's office so she could brew a cup of coffee for herself whenever she visited.
Sure enough, Tessa was greeted by a strong aroma of coffee as soon as she entered her office.
Marissa was already skilfully brewing a pot of coffee.
"Would you like a cup?" Marissa asked Tessa with a grin.
Tessa shook her head. "I prefer tea."
Marissa shrugged. "That's fair." Then, she brought her cup of coffee over to the couch and sat down, teasing playfully, "It's your loss. You're missing out on a cup made by yours truly."
Tessa walked over to her desk and placed a folder down, drawling, "My, what a pity."
"So, what brings you here today?" Tessa asked as she moved to join Marissa on the couch.
Then, she began to brew herself a cup of tea, boiling the water and rinsing the teacup.
"Can't I visit you for no reason?" Marissa poked in good fun.

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....
