His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 244

On Wednesday, Tessa returned to work at Shelton Law Firm.

But unexpectedly, Jacqueline showed up too.

She was dressed in a tailored suit from a luxury brand and carried a limited- edition Hermès handbag. Brimming with confidence, she strode into the law firm in high heels and headed straight for Tessa's office.

The door was open, so she walked right in without knocking.

Tessa was on a call. When she looked up and saw Jacqueline, her brows knitted together.

"Let's put a pin in this for now. Something just came up, so I'll hang up first," she said.

Jacqueline casually sat down on the couch and placed her bag beside her. She glanced around the office and scoffed. "This place is tiny. You call this an office?"

After hanging up, Tessa looked at her with a calm expression. "What are you doing here?"

Jacqueline smirked. "Oh, I forgot to mention that I just invested in Shelton Law Firm. That makes me one of its partners, which means I'm technically your boss now."

Her gaze remained as calm as ever.
