His Unveiled Passion

Tessa and Stephen were having a moment when Marissa called Tessa over the phone.

Stephen shot a look at Tessa's phone and said coldly, "Decline it."

Tessa reminded him, saying, "We're here for her birthday party."

So, she answered the phone.

Marissa didn't sound unhappy as she said, "Tessa, you guys shouldn't be holed up in your room. You should come out and have some fun. I've also invited Sienna and Naomi to the party. I just saw them board the ship."

"Alright, I'll be there," Tessa replied.

Tessa ended the call and turned to Stephen, suggesting, "Let's join the others. Sienna and Naomi are here too."

Stephen's expression was cold due to the untimely interruption. So, he only grunted in response but said nothing else.

The lobby on the first floor was spacious, with a grand crystal chandelier sparkling overhead.

Plenty of people had gathered under it, drinking and chatting merrily.

Now that everyone on the guest list had arrived, the cruise ship began to set sail for the seas.
