Chapter 45

Stephen stood surrounded by a group of men in polished suits.

The private room where Tessa had dined in was on the first floor. From the looks of it, Stephen seemed to have just finished his meal and came downstairs.

Stephen walked closer as he spoke.

Tessa greeted him with a smile. “Stephen, what a coincidence. I’m treating my colleagues to dinner here tonight.”

stephen knew Tessa had joined Shelton Law Fin.

He nodded slightly. “How was your test day? Are you settling in well?” he asked, his expression gentle.

“Mm, everything’s fine,” Tessareplied. She left out the part where Yasmin and a few colleagues took advantage of her generosity.

“Is your dinner ending soon? I can give you a ride home,” Stephen offered.

Tessa shook her head. “It’s still early. You go ahead tist.”

“Alright. This place is far from your home. Did you arrange for the driver to pick you up?

“No, I plan to stay at the apartment nearby tonight,” she replied.

“okay. Be careful, Tess,”

After she hummed her response and said goodbye to Stephen, Tessa returned to the private room

When dinner ended, she went to the cashier to settle the bill, only to be informed that it had already been paid for.

Who else could it have been but Stephen?

She took out her phone and sent him a message.

“Thanks, Stephen.”

His teply came almost immediately. “There’s no need to thank me.”

Another message followed. “Tess, are you done? I’m waiting at the open parking lot to the left of the exit. I feel uneasy about you going home alone at night.” Warth spread through Tessa’s chest as she read his text.

“I’m almost done. I’ll come shortly,” she replied.
