Chapter 341 Quiet Fury

Following the navigation, the driver pulled up in front of a modest office building.

“We’re here, Ms. Ember.”

Tess told him to head back, then she strode quickly inside.

The first thing she noticed was the pristine white walls, spotless and untouched by dust.

Her gaze lingered, her mind drifting for a moment.

This was the newest office building she had purchased.

She had already decided to take over Ember Group, and she refused to step foot in that revolting place they called their headquarters, so she thought it was best to carve out an entirely new space of her own.

“Tess.”

Abel suddenly appeared from some shadowy corner, as if he had been waiting all along.

The man’s tall frame cast a heavy shadow across her face. His wide, luminous eyes carried a softness that reminded her of a loyal dog wagging its tail. The contrast only heightened his strange charm.

“You’ve gone through a lot for this.” Tess gave him a polite nod.

Abel’s expression twisted with displeasure. “Now why would you get so formal with me?”

He instinctively reached for her hand, but she sidestepped without a trace of hesitation.

His fingers twitched uselessly in the air before he tucked them back into his pocket, pretending it never happened.

“Come on,” he said with an easy grin.

“The first floor isn’t fully furnished yet, but your office is already set up perfectly.”

Tess did not object, and she followed him down the hall.

“How are the shares coming along?” she asked in passing.

Abel raised his brows.

“That sort of stuff’s right up my alley. It’s in the bag.”

With arrogant flair, he ran his hand through his hair. The strands fell across his forehead, and his bright eyes gleamed all the more.

After all, this was the same man once hailed as a genius of global finance. A small company like Ember Group was child’s play to him.

But if it was for Tess, then nothing ever felt beneath him.

He kept that thought locked away, showing nothing but the smug curve of his lips.

“Good.”

Tess felt a weight lift off her chest when she heard his words.

She offered him a faint smile and asked nothing further.

“Ta–da.”

Abel strode ahead and pushed open the door for her.

If the old folks in Kingsland could see him now, they would have fumed with disbelief.

Their golden prodigy was doing something as simple as opening doors for someone else.

The office revealed itself in sleek, modern style. A pale gray carpet stretched to the wide glass windows.

A white swivel chair sat by the desk, while sheer white curtains swayed gently with the draft.

On the curved marble desk sat a single photo frame with a brushed metallic finish.

Its design was elegant and chosen with obvious care.

Tess’s heart clenched as she scanned the room, emotions she could not name weighing her down.

Abel’s eyes stayed quietly fixed on her, studying every flicker of her reaction.

“Well?” he asked with a smile.

“It’s beautiful. I like it.”

Tess tightened her hand into a fist, her smile just a little too forced.

He had put too much thought into this. It made her feel undeserving of his efforts.

Abel’s gaze darkened for a heartbeat, then the corners of his mouth lifted higher.

“I knew you’d appreciate the look, Tess the Great Designer. That curved marble was custom made, carved by a master. Look at those pale veins across the surface. Gorgeous, isn’t it?”

He lifted his chin, eager for her approval.

Tess studied him for a moment, trying to read something deeper from his expression.

But his face was far too composed, so she gave up and looked away.

A sudden crash echoed from outside the building.

They exchanged a glance, the tension between them forgotten, and hurried down the stairs.

Henry stood at the entrance, fury blazing in his eyes.

Kylie was seething with anger as well.

“Tess! Get out here this instant!”

The moment Tess laid eyes on him, the unease she felt before disappeared. Her every movement slowed into deliberate calm.
