"Understood," said Wynn.
Stephen led Tessa toward the elevator that was reserved for the president's use. He then pressed the button for the 28th floor.
They were the only two people in the elevator. The space in the elevator was narrow and tight. Worse yet, it was so quiet that they could hear each other breathing.
Stephen stood next to Tessa all the way up. There was barely any space between them, so she could smell the faint scent of his woody cologne wafting from his body. The scent was calming and cold, just like him.
They were standing too close to each other, such that they were nearly pressed together. Discreetly, Tessa took one step to the side, putting more distance between them.
Stephen's eyes lowered. Her action had not gone unnoticed by him. He arched an eyebrow before leaning closer to Tessa. He whispered into her ear, "Are you afraid that I'll eat you up?"
His voice dropped low, and she could hear the hints of mirth lacing his words. Tessa's earlobes reddened. She pressed her lips together and refused to respond. To her side, Stephen's lips curled up in amusement. He was clearly in a good mood.
The elevator took them to the president's office on the top floor. Tessa trailed after Stephen as they exited the elevator.
The entire 28th floor was Stephen's office. The first thing that she noticed after entering was the black and silver color scheme. She was reminded of winter and the frost that would gather at every corner before dawn.
The walls were constructed from a dark marble with a matte finish, a few carefully selected pieces of modern art hanging on them.
The simple lines and cool colors came together harmoniously, blending flawlessly with the rest of the decorations adorning the office. The minimalist design gave off a sense of coldness, matching its owner perfectly.
A gray screen had been set up in the center of the office, splitting the space into two. The outer area had a couch and a coffee table that was meant for guests, while the inner area was where Stephen worked. The couch and coffee table were also in black, matching the rest of the office.
Tessa swept her gaze across the office. She asked, "Shall I wait for you on the couch?"

Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
