Chapter 259 The Quiet Between Storms

“Sharon gave you trouble again,” Landon said, frowning slightly.

Looked like Sharon had too much time on her hands. Maybe it was time someone gave her a little something to keep her busy.

“Yeah, you know how she is. The second something doesn’t go her way, she throws a fit.” Tessa really didn’t have anything good to say about that woman.

“Keep an eye on Evan. Sharon’s not worth worrying about.”

“I know. You don’t have to worry about me,” Tessa replied. She already knew Evan wasn’t someone to take lightly. He was sly–always playing dirty.

The fact that he was cozying up to Winona now? He was probably aiming for Tessa all along.

But Winona was too confident to see it. No matter what anyone told her, she wouldn’t believe it.

When they got to Wisteria Apartment, Tessa went to take a shower. Landon, meanwhile, pulled out his laptop and started reviewing files related to Thorne Corp’s latest investment case.

When she came back out, she saw him leaning against the couch, completely focused on his emails. He was so focused, so composed–it was hard to look away. A man like that… was hard not to admire.

“It’s late. Are you still planning to go back?” Tessa asked casually, no hidden meaning behind it.

But the heat in his gaze made it clear he’d misunderstood.

“I didn’t mean anything by that. Just asking,” she said quickly.

Forget it. Landon’s always been a walking hormone storm anyway. Even when he’s doing nothing, he makes people feel like he’s flirting.”

Landon reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.

With her resting against him, he kept typing, his laptop still balanced on one hand.

“Is it that complicated?” she asked. This was the first time she’d seen him this absorbed in work.

“It’s manageable,” he said. Just complicated enough. If he wanted to destroy Zane Corp’s economic foundation and leave Evan with nothing, he’d need to be precise.

Even though Thorne Corp was the largest conglomerate in Montedra, all the other financial powers combined couldn’t be underestimated. With stakes this high, no one could be easily manipulated.

Noticing how tired he looked, Tessa reached up and gently rubbed the back of his head.

“That feels good, Landon murmured, letting out a content sigh. He gave up sitting upright and rested his head on her lap instead, letting her keep massaging him.

He closed his eyes, relaxing completely into her touch.

Without realizing it, he drifted off.
