His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 321

Rita took her promise seriously and beamed with joy. "Then, it's settled. I'll see you next time. We'll be heading off now. Goodbye!"

Tessa smiled and waved at them. "Bye."

Tessa only turned to her best friend, Naomi, after Lester and his family had left.

She crossed her arms and scrutinized Naomi. "Alright, spill it. What's going on between you two?"

Naomi gulped nervously, her cheeks still flaming red as she bit her lower lip. "Tess, I..."

"Cat got your tongue, huh?" Tessa jerked her head to the side and glared at Quentin sharply. "Quentin, care to enlighten me?"

Quentin scratched his nose awkwardly. "Tess, don't look at me like that. That look of yours is terrifying."

Tessa ignored him and said, "This isn't a good place for us to talk. Let's go somewhere else."

Quentin gave her a sheepish smile. "Naomi and I were planning to have dinner together here. We've booked a private room. Why don't we go there instead?"

"Fine." Tessa nodded.

So, Tessa followed Naomi and Quentin back into the elevator. She had no idea what she was feeling at the moment. It was all a mess.

She had known Quentin for years. Frankly, she'd always treated him as though he was her brother.

Quentin's father had later married Naomi's mother. As a result, Naomi became his stepsister.
