His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 251

When Tessa felt embarrassed, she would involuntarily blush. She quickly shook her head and denied it. "You misunderstood. He is my business partner, not my boyfriend."

The renovation worker scratched his head sheepishly. "Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought he was your boyfriend. You two really look like a

"No, no," Tessa denied again.

Lester stood silently beside her, his expression somewhat indifferent.

Lester smiled and said in a teasing tone, "Are you that eager to distance yourself from me? You were quick to deny it."

"Huh?" Tessa was momentarily stunned. "That's not what I meant. I was just worried it would be awkward for you... and that you might misunderstand," she explained quickly.

Lester raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening. "Misunderstand what?"
