His Unveiled Passion

Marissa called out to Stephen, "Stevie, what a coincidence! Are you here to see

Tessa to discuss one of your company's litigation cases, too?"

Marissa and Tessa were on friendly terms now.

After Tessa saved her, Marissa was deeply grateful to her. As they spent more

time together, she was eventually impressed by Tessa's character and personality.

feelings for Stephen had changed.
