His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 78

Yasmin was on edge, so she stayed in Tessa's office throughout the entire day.

She said everything she could to get Tessa to budge, but Tessa refused to do so.

Yasmin was practically one step away from getting down on both knees to beg Tessa.

"Ms. Yates, please be the bigger person and forgive me! Just pretend that I'm a bug and let me go, I beg you! If I get convicted and have my lawyer's license revoked, my life will be over!

"Ms. Yates, I'm begging you to drop the case. I'm willing to do anything for you, even if it means being at your beck and call!"

Tessa gave her a cold glance. "That's not necessary. Ms. Collins, there are countless professions out there, and there's a chance for everyone to succeed. Losing your lawyer's license wouldn't mean a thing. If you can't stay in this line of work, you can always just switch to another."

Tessa patted her on the shoulder and added flatly, "Good luck! I have faith in you!"

…

After getting off work, Tessa and her colleagues were leaving the firm together.

Suddenly, a female colleague beside Tessa tugged her sleeve and exclaimed, "Oh my God! Look at that exceptionally fine gentleman standing there!"

Tessa's other colleagues also glanced over and started whispering amongst themselves. She followed their gaze and immediately froze.

It was Stephen, standing tall and strikingly handsome. With his broad shoulders and long legs, he was like a walking work of art. The simple black Armani coat he wore looked even better on him than it would on a model.

He was leaning against his car while talking on the phone.

It was late autumn, and the sky had turned darker a little earlier than usual, so the streetlights were already lit up.

From where they were standing, Tessa could see his chiseled jaw and high-bridged nose.

The warm yellow light cast a soft glow on his face, softening the sharpness of his features and making him look much gentler.
