Stephen's eyes had softened, a stark contrast to his normally stoic and cold

demeanor.

The executives who had almost nodded off were suddenly jolted awake. They

would never have imagined that they would be able to witness something

scandalous just by attending a meeting.

It was exciting to see how Stephen, who typically seemed repulsed by most

Jacobson Corporation's newly appointed director of the planning department.

Stephen seemed like a different person when he conversed with Tessa over the
