"I'm so sleepy," Tessa murmured in a soft voice.

The company executives who were present in the meeting room could not hear

what Tessa was saying on the other end of the line, but they could see how

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

women, treated his girlfriend with fondness and affection.

The executives in the meeting room wore various expressions, but one person's

expression twisted in annoyance. This was, of course, referring to Hazel Everhart,

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

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

phone. He was patient and warm-the complete opposite of the image that Hazel

had of him. Stephen was supposed to be aloof and strict. He didn't smile and

treated everyone icily, keeping everyone at an arm's length.

By now, she had worked at Jacobson Corporation for half a month. She hadn't
