Chapter 390

Dinner was a battlefield in disguise.

Lester and Stephen exchanged subtle jabs, each refusing to back down.

Tessa pretended not to notice while Marissa did her best to ignore it as well.

After the meal, Stephen offered to drive Tessa and Seline home.

"I drove myself here," Tessa replied.

"Then let me ride with you. We're headed in the same direction anyway," Stephen said smoothly.

Tessa paused. "Aren't you taking Ms. Scott home?" she asked, glancing at Marissa.

"She drove here too," Stephen answered without even sparing Marissa a glance. His tone softened when he turned to Tessa.

She shot him an annoyed glare. "Didn't you also drive? Why do I have to take you?"

Lester let out a cold laugh, his tone laced with sarcasm. "What an odd coincidence."

Stephen smiled. "Isn't it?"
