His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 70

The second Timothy and Jimmy saw Tessa, their eyes lit up in delight.

Timothy leered at her and asked, "And who might this be?"

William discreetly rolled his eyes at Tessa, his gaze full of disdain.

Tessa pulled out the contract and placed it on the table. She said with a smile, "Mr. Zachman, Mr. Loewe, I'm Tessa Yates from Shelton Law Firm. I'm here to discuss the possibility of signing a contract with your company."

She took a seat on a nearby single couch. "Mr. Zachman, Mr. Loewe, I heard that your current legal advisory contract with your previous law firm is about to expire, right?

"Perhaps you could consider signing it with our company. Shelton Law Firm is the top law firm in Rivertown, with renowned lawyers who specialize in civil, criminal, intellectual property, and administrative law."

She then turned to Jimmy and said, "Moreover, I heard that your company is currently dealing with a trademark infringement dispute. Our firm's intellectual property lawyers have handled thousands of trademark infringement cases, so choosing us would be a wise choice."

Timothy picked up the legal advisory contract that Tessa handed to him, lazily flipped through a few pages, and then simply tossed it aside.

He stared at Tessa and smirked. "A legal advisor, huh? No problem. But first, how about you have a few drinks with me, Ms. Yates?" He offered her a glass of wine. "As long as I'm happy, anything can be discussed."

Meanwhile, Jimmy looked at Tessa with a lecherous gaze. "Ms. Yates, you're so young and beautiful. Simply being a lawyer is such a waste of your talents.

"Why don't you consider working for me instead? You won't have to run around dealing with cases like this, and I'll give you ten thousand a month. What do you say?"

Tessa simply smiled and said, "Sorry, Mr. Loewe. I'm here to discuss the contract, not offer myself."

"I understand." Jimmy grinned. "Young women nowadays love playing hard to get. You don't have to answer me right now."

He pulled out a business card from his bag and passed it to Tessa. "Here's my card. If you ever change your mind and decide you no longer want to work so hard anymore, just give me a call."

Tessa was keenly aware that there was something wrong with the drink. She shook her head and said, "Sorry, Mr. Zachman. I don't drink."

She fell into a warm embrace, her senses immediately enveloped by a crisp, woody scent. She lifted her head only to be met with Stephen's worried gaze.

He held her in his arms and asked in concern, "What's wrong, Tessa? Why are you running like this?"

"Stephen…" Tessa barely managed to call out his name before the people behind her caught up.

William was the first to rush out, but upon sensing that something was wrong, he immediately pretended to be a passerby and slipped away.

"You bitch, where are you running off to now? I'm going to—" Timothy cursed as he caught up to her, lifting his head as he spoke. Upon seeing Tessa wrapped in Stephen's arms, with four buff bodyguards behind him, he immediately fell silent.

It was the president of Jacobson Corporation, Stephen Jacobson!

Timothy's face flashed with a mixture of shock and fear. He was so shocked that he couldn't even utter a single word.
