His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 396

Tessa raised the file folder in her hand and said calmly, "Miss, I'm here on official business. It's not what you think it is."

Maisy scoffed, her expression laced with disdain.

"If it's official, why didn't you make an appointment? Don't try to fool me. I know all the tricks. Holding a file to make it look like business? That one's been used to death."

Tessa finally understood. Clearly, many women had tried using the "business excuse" to see Stephen. It was no wonder the receptionist was on high alert.

Instead of getting annoyed, Tessa found the receptionist's seriousness rather amusing.

She decided to tease her a little. "Oh? So my trick's outdated?"

Maisy curled her lips.

"Of course it is. I fell for someone using the same move once. Let her in, and I almost got fired. Thankfully, my cousin is one of Mr. Jacobson's executive assistants. He spoke up for me, or I'd have been out of a job.

"I kept the position, but they still docked half a month's pay. So don't even try it this time. I won't let anyone get past me again."

A laugh burst from Tessa's lips. She looked at Maisy, clearly entertained, and asked with a smile, "You said your cousin works for the CEO?"

"Yeah."
