His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 476

"I'm so sleepy," Tessa murmured in a soft voice.

The company executives who were present in the meeting room could not hear what Tessa was saying on the other end of the line, but they could see how Stephen's eyes had softened, a stark contrast to his normally stoic and cold demeanor.

The executives who had almost nodded off were suddenly jolted awake. They would never have imagined that they would be able to witness something scandalous just by attending a meeting.

It was exciting to see how Stephen, who typically seemed repulsed by most women, treated his girlfriend with fondness and affection.

The executives in the meeting room wore various expressions, but one person's expression twisted in annoyance. This was, of course, referring to Hazel Everhart, Jacobson Corporation's newly appointed director of the planning department.

Stephen seemed like a different person when he conversed with Tessa over the phone. He was patient and warm—the complete opposite of the image that Hazel had of him. Stephen was supposed to be aloof and strict. He didn't smile and treated everyone icily, keeping everyone at an arm's length.

By now, she had worked at Jacobson Corporation for half a month. She hadn't spoken a word to Stephen that wasn't related to work. She had tried to get his contact information but had failed to do so. Thus, she was forced to contact his assistant, Samson, when she needed to communicate with Stephen.

Hazel curled her hand into a tight fist when she saw how Stephen was showing off his loving relationship with Tessa in front of everyone without a care in the world. Her heart was filled with dissatisfaction.

When Tessa finally got out of bed, Stephen had even gently asked her if she wanted to have lunch together in the afternoon. However, his suggestion seemed to have been rejected since his voice took on a disappointed tone. He then asked, "Are you free tonight?"

"I have to go home tonight," Tessa replied.

Of course, she was referring to the Yates residence.

"Alright, then."

When the people in the meeting room heard Stephen's response, they couldn't help but wonder if he had been rejected, not once but twice.

Hazel's face darkened. She wondered when Stephen had gotten together with this girlfriend of his.
