His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 116

Before Tessa could respond, Naomi fired off another question. "Wait—was it last night? A drunken mistake?"

She immediately smacked a hand over her mouth. "No, wait! 'Drunken mistake' sounds so wrong! Let's call it… 'liquid courage'! Drunk words, sober thoughts, right?"

Tessa's face turned scarlet as she mumbled, "No… It was this morning… after I sobered up."

Naomi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Oh my god! So you slept with him while fully sober?"

The way she stressed the word "slept" made Tessa want to disappear on the spot. After a moment of hesitation, she gave a reluctant nod.

Naomi grinned mischievously. "Damn, Tess! So… how was it?"

Tessa stiffened, completely at a loss for words. Before she could formulate an answer, her phone rang.

It was a perfect escape.

Tessa exhaled softly and pulled out her phone. "I need to take this."

She glanced at the caller ID.

It was Jasmine.

Without hesitation, Tessa answered.

"Ms. Yates, are you available to come over? I could really use your help with something."

Tessa took a moment to steady herself. "What's going on?"

Jasmine got straight to the point, quickly explaining the situation.

Tessa's brows furrowed with concern. "Wait for me. I'll be there in a minute."

Ending the call, she grabbed her bag and stood up. "Something came up—I need to go. We'll meet another time."

Naomi's lips curled into a slight pout. "Is there really something going on? You're not just setting an alarm and making a quick escape to avoid answering our questions, are you?"

Tessa sighed, holding up her phone to show the call log. "See? It's legit."

Naomi crossed her arms. "Alright, but next time, you're telling us everything!"

"Deal."

With that, Tessa rushed out the door.
