Tess smiled without saying a word. The car had stopped right at the research institute’s
entrance.
Research institutes typically deal with a lot of scientific secrets and do not allow outsiders to
enter.
Connor racked his brain but couldn’t figure out what credentials Tess had to get inside. That was until he saw her get out of the car. As soon as she stood at the door, the guards seemed used to her arrival. They respectfully helped open the door.
Connor’s eyes deepened as they fell on Tess’s silhouette against the light.
She was surrounded by a mysterious aura that made it hard to look away.
Something tugged at his heartstrings.
“You’re here so early?”
As soon as Tess walked into Steven’sboratory, he heard the footsteps and looked up unhappily at first. When he saw who it was, he softened his tone.
“Where’s Mr. Jynn?”
Tess looked around but didn’t see the familiar figure.
Steven took off his white gloves, wiped his hands, and raised an eyebrow. “You just got here, and you’re already asking about Mr. Jynn?”
His serious face showed a hint of yful teasing.
Tess smiled back. “The trial’s this afternoon. Howe you’re soid–back as the client? Looks like I’m the one sweating bullets while you’re cool as a cucumber.”
Steven chuckled and tossed the wet wipe into the trash can. “He’ll be here soon.”
Tess used the free time to casually flip through the prepared case files and documents on the desk. Just as Steven said, it wasn’t long before Tommy arrived, holding his big belly and wiping
his mouth.

Tommy didn’t care at all. He proudly opened the case files on the desk one by one for Tess to check. “These are what I’ve collected and organized with Mr. Stone’s assistant. Please take a look.”
Tess nodded. “I’ve seen them. They’re veryplete.”
Tommy immediately beamed with joy.
At that moment, Steven’s assistant came over carrying a tray of tea.
Her first ncended on Tess, with that same look that made Tess ufortable.
Tess frowned and looked away.
After all, she wasn’t Tess’s assistant. Tess couldn’t voice anyints about her.
Tommy casually picked up the teacup and enthusiastically said, “Ms. Tess, this is some good tea I collected. Try it!”
“Mr. Jynn!”
The assistant suddenly eximed, trying to stop Tommy’s action.
Tommy was startled by her sudden shout. “What’s wrong?<b>” </b>
Facing the gazes of the three people in the room, the assistant hunched her shoulders, and her voice lowered. “This tea was only brewed for one person.”
If Tess drank it, there would be none left.
Tommyughed heartily. “I thought it was something serious. Just brew more after we drink it!”
He immediately reached over and poured a cup for Tess.
Tess originally wanted to refuse, but after the assistant’s strange behavior, she reached out to take it. She smiled without speaking and looked at the assistant.

Tommy got even more excited. “Right? Have some more!”
With that, he poured another cup for Tess.
Tess drank it all in one go again.
After two cups, the teapot was empty.
Tommy handed it to the assistant. “Go brew another pot. I still want some.”
With that, he turned without looking back and pulled Tess toward the desk.
The assistant froze in ce, her hands tightly gripping the tray.

Steven noticed her standing still and frowned slightly. “What are you standing there for? Do you want me to do it?”
A sh of hurt passed through the assistant’s eyes, but she lowered her head, bit her lip, and left.
Steven’s gaze shifted andnded on Tess.
Tess happened to look up, meeting his eyes. The slyness in her eyes was not hidden at all.
Steven smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of indulgence.
When he lowered his eyes, he hid the depth in them again.
After all, he had been in the corporate world for many years. He could detect some unusual reactions and attitudes.
However, the people in the research institute were not recruited by him. Unless theymitted a major mistake, they generally wouldn’t be fired.
Tess discussed the defense process in detail with Tommy again until the time was almost up.
The assistant knocked on the door again.
“Come in.”
That pot of tea had been brewing for nearly two hours.
The resentment on the assistant’s face was darker than a storm cloud.
“I’m heading to the courthouse now. Heat it up for me when I get back.”

The assistant was so angry she could barely stand steady. Steven followed closely behind. giving her one more nce before quietly withdrawing his gaze.

Tess stepped onto the familiar long steps again, feeling an indescribable mix of emotions in
her heart.

Tess’s heart raced with renewed passion.
