His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 121

Tessa turned off the computer after she finished organizing the case documents. When she exited the firm, it was already 8:30 pm. She stood in front of the building for a moment before receiving a call from Stephen.

Tessa picked up the call. "Where are you now?"

"I'm sorry, Tess. I can't pick you up tonight. You should head home by yourself first. Something urgent came up that I have to take care of."

"What happened?" Tessa asked.

"I can't tell you right now. I'll tell you everything in person once I've handled the issue."

"Okay."

After disconnecting the call, she headed down to the basement carpark. Despite the late hour, she hadn't had her dinner yet. Her stomach was growling loudly in protest.

Tessa drove her car to a nearby restaurant and had a simple meal to satisfy her hunger. When she made it back to her area, it was already 10:00 pm.

Tessa parked her car and pressed the button to call the elevator. She had just unlocked her front door by scanning her thumbprint when she heard someone calling her name from behind her.

"Tessy."

It was Zachary dressed in a dark grey coat. The light he stood under highlighted his handsome features, and his lips were slightly curved upward.

Tessa couldn't help but be reminded of a dog when she looked at him.

She frowned when she laid her eyes on him. She wondered what he was doing here. "Zachary, why are you here?"

Zachary answered her by way of another question. "Where have you been today? Why did you come back so late?"

Tessa's frown deepened. "What does that have to do with you?"
