His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 435

Although Stephen had used work as an excuse to ask Tessa out for lunch, there were indeed a few other Jacobson Corporation cases that had yet to go to trial. So, Tessa brought those cases up during their meal.

Stephen couldn't help but chuckle. "Tess, we're currently in such a romantic spot. Are you seriously going to discuss work with me here?"

Tessa lowered her gaze, her expression calm. "Mr. Jacobson, you were the one who said you wanted to discuss the pending cases, no?"

Stephen raised a brow at her. "Fine. Let's continue."

It was far better than sitting here with nothing to say.

Tessa's gaze was calm and focused when she went into detail about her work. Meanwhile, Stephen simply watched her speak in silence, his eyes filled with nothing but tenderness for her.

Still, he seemed to be listening intently. It was as if he was genuinely treating her to a meal just so they could talk about their work.

Tessa couldn't help but find his behavior odd. So, she teased, "I thought you wouldn't be interested in the conversation, Mr. Jacobson."

Sure, they were talking about Jacobson Corporation cases, but he was the president of the company. That meant that minor cases like these weren't exactly part of his job description.

Stephen's expression grew solemn upon hearing her words. Then, he intoned seriously, "It's because this is your work. It's a job that you're passionate about. I know you love it, so I paid attention. Tess, I completely respect and support any choices you make regarding your career."

Tessa was somewhat stunned to hear him say those things. She didn't expect Stephen to give her such an earnest response.

Stephen's words had succeeded in touching a hidden corner of her heart, leaving ripples in their wake.

She had to admit that she was warmed by his sincerity.

After the meal, Tessa had to return to Everbright Law Group for work. Stephen also had to return to his company to handle matters that needed his approval So, Stephen drove Tessa to the law firm and left immediately after.

…

Tessa had to go all the way to a small county called Eraline for a hearing in early July.
