"Let's talk after work, alright?" Tessa offered.

Then, she resumed her discussion with Jasmine about work. Once she was done

laying everything out, she returned to her office, where Marissa was waiting for

her.

At this point, Marissa had been visiting Tessa so often that Everbright Law Group

might as well be her second home.

Tessa preferred having tea, so she had tons of high-quality tea leaves available in

her office. Thus, she would end up serving Marissa tea whenever she dropped by.

Alas, Marissa didn't care much for tea as she had lived abroad for years. Instead,

she preferred a good cup of coffee.

Plus, she was exceedingly particular about it, too.

She had high requirements from bean selection to the right brewing method for a

particular bean.

As a result, she wouldn't drink just any coffee.

Two days ago, she even got Tessa a coffee machine. She had also bought the

beans she favored to keep in Tessa's office so she could brew a cup of coffee for

herself whenever she visited.

Sure enough, Tessa was greeted by a strong aroma of coffee as soon as she

entered her office.

Marissa was already skilfully brewing a pot of coffee.

"Would you like a cup?" Marissa asked Tessa with a grin.

Tessa shook her head. "I prefer tea."
