His Unveiled Passion

Tessa woke up bright and early the next day.

After she had her breakfast at the hotel, she planned to make a trip to the famous

lake in the countryside.

Meanwhile, Stephen was trying to reason with Wynn at the parking lot.

He looked at the expressionless Wynn and said, "You can go now. Nothing will

happen to Tessa with me around."

Wynn remained utterly indifferent to his words, replying blandly, "I only listen to

Ms. Yates."

Stephen fell silent upon hearing her answer. He had finally gotten the chance to

enjoy some alone time with Tessa. So, why was Wynn being such a pest of a third

wheel?

Sadly, that was just how Wynn was. Although she was very capable and loyal, she

was also as stubborn as a mule and dense to boot.

Tessa turned her attention to Wynn and mused, "Wynn's been following me

around rain or shine. Her job as my protection detail is actually rather boring...

Plus, she doesn't even have days off. Since we're technically on vacation, it's also

a chance for Wynn to let loose."

Besides, it was better to have another person around if they were going on a trip,

just in case.

On the other hand, it was easy to guess what was on Stephen's mind. He wanted

to spend some time alone with her.

That was easy enough to arrange.

She just had to tell Wynn to keep her distance once they were at their destination.

So, Tessa said, "Wynn, you'll be coming with us."

"Yes, Ms. Yates," Wynn replied respectfully.

They didn't have to worry about transportation.

Stephen handled it all with just a call. Sure enough, someone arrived to pick them

up from the hotel.

The SUV left the city and arrived at the lake about 20 minutes later.

Technically, the lake should be absolutely swarmed by photo-taking tourists at this

time of day.

Perhaps someone high up the chain had noticed Stephen's arrival. Thus, they

were the only ones at the lake. As a result, the usually noisy atmosphere by the

lake was oddly peaceful.

The vehicle pulled to a stop, and the driver remained seated in it.

Tessa, Stephen, and Wynn got out of the car.

The scenery before them was utterly breathtaking and unreal.
