His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 232

Ever since they secured the business with Victorious Corporation, Barry had drunk quite a few glasses of wine even in the afternoon. When he returned to the hotel, he immediately fell asleep after collapsing on the bed. They had nothing else planned for the next afternoon, so Tessa was free to do whatever she

pleased.

Noria was located next to the sea and was a famous holiday city in the country. Tessa's hotel had a great view of the cerulean waters and golden sand because it was built right on the seaside. The temperature rose to about 86 degrees Fahrenheit when the afternoon rolled around.

Tessa stayed and rested in the hotel for most of the afternoon. When the sun began to set, she changed into a sleeveless top with spaghetti straps and a pair of shorts. She left for the beach after putting on some sunscreen and a pair of sunglasses.

The hotel owned the beach. It wasn't open to the public, so there weren't many people around. She sank into a lounge chair that was placed under a parasol. Removing her sunglasses, she stared out at the endless ocean, emptying her mind of all thoughts.

The sun was straddling the boundary between sea and sky while the clouds were dyed in fiery oranges and reds with shimmering golden edges. The ocean looked as if someone had spilled orange soda on its surface before covering it with a layer of crushed diamonds. The water glittered brilliantly, looking straight out of a dream.

The sea breeze that billowed past her tasted salty, chasing away the heat and humidity in the air. Tessa leaned back against the lounge chair. She continued to admire the sight of the sun sinking into the ocean, feeling relaxed.

She had been up to her elbows in work for the past few days. It had been awhile since she was able to relax like this.
