Chapter 391
While they were having dinner, Wynn waited in the car, unaware of the tense atmosphere inside the restaurant.
Of course, she was curious but didn’t ask. After all, it was a personal matter involving her boss, and she should not get involved.
Inside the elevator, Tessa leaned slightly toward her younger sister.
“Seline, don’t tell Mom and Dad about having dinner with Stephen today, alright?”
Seline nodded obediently. “Got it, Tessa.”
“Good girl.”
Back in her room, Tessa checked the phone. There was a message from Lester.
“Did you get home safely?”
“Just arrived,” she replied.
“Get some rest. Good night.”
The next morning, an unexpected guest appeared at Tessa’s law firm.
Marissa walked in wearing a light, tailored suit, a Hermes handbag hanging from
her arm. Her confident strides immediately drew attention.
“Wow! Who is that? She’s gorgeous and looks so composed.”
“A client? Or someone applying for a position?”
“Definitely a client. She gives off major CEO vibes.”
“Agreed. She looks like she owns ten companies, and it’s not like she’s here to clock in.”
“That face, that figure… absolute perfection.”
Marissa heard the hushed whispers and let a faint smile tug at her lips.
She walked over to a young woman’s desk and spoke in a friendly tone.
“Hi, I didn’t see anyone at the front desk, so I thought I’d ask directly. Could you tell me where Ms. Yates’ office is?”
Jasmine was briefly stunned. A stunning woman like her speaking so politely caught her off guard.
“I’ll take you there,” she said, standing up.
“Thank you.” Marissa’s smile grew even warmer, and Jasmine found herself staring a little.
She led Marissa down the hall and stopped in front of an office door. “This is Ms. Yates’ office.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. I’ll get back to work, then.”
Marissa knocked on the door.
Tessa’s voice came from inside. “Come in.”
Marissa opened the door and stepped in. “Ms. Yates.”noveldrama
Tessa looked up and paused for a brief moment, then quickly composed herself.
“Ms. Scott, please have a seat.”
Marissa smiled and settled onto the couch across the coffee table.
Tessa stood from behind her desk and walked over. She turned on the kettle and gathered a tray of tea supplies.
“What brings you to my office today, Ms. Scott?” she asked, placing two ceramic mugs on the table and carefully pouring hot water over the tea bags. She slid one of the mugs toward Marissa.
“Thank you, I heard you’ve opened your own firm and wanted to stop by. Also, I have a case I’d like to consult with you about,” Marissa said.
Tessa raised a brow. “Oh? What kind of case?”
Sienna had sent Tessa background information on Marissa before. Tessa already knew Marissa was the CEO of a listed company.
A woman like her would certainly have an in-house legal team. What kind of case would she need to hand off?
Marissa pulled out her phone. “Let’s

“Alright.”
They added each other, and a moment later, the file came through.
“I’ll leave this one in your hands, Ms. Yates,” Marissa said with a faint smile on her
lips.
Tessa took a sip of tea. “Let’s go over the basics first, Ms. Scott.”
“Of course,” Marissa replied.
She lifted her own cup and smiled. “This tea is quite good.”
