Chapter 331

"It's right there!" Tessa instinctively turned her head around and pointed toward the shredder, causing her lips to brush against Stephen's.

The second their lips touched, she immediately shot to her feet. "Stephen!"

He had purposely inched closer toward her just now, causing their lips to brush up against each other.

Tessa was slightly enraged as she exclaimed, "Can you stop playing around here? I'm busy, and I don't have time for your nonsense."

Seeing that Tessa was truly pissed, Stephen quickly toned his behavior down a notch and picked up the stack of papers. Then, he gently coaxed, "Ms. Yates, don't be mad. I really didn't see the shredder just now."

"You're lying!" Tessa's face was flushed red, and her voice had raised a few octaves.

Stephen walked up to the shredder and began placing a few pieces of paper inside. "Don't be mad, Tess. Why don't I treat you to dinner to make up for things? We can go to your favourite barbecue restaurant."

"I don't want to!"

At that moment, someone knocked on her door.

Tessa took two deep breaths and calmed herself down before she said, "Come in."

It was Lester knocking.
