Stephen had his back to Tessa, so he didn't notice her arrival.
Tessa saw that the woman trying to strike up a conversation with him had worn exquisite makeup. She was also tall and had quite the pretty face.
"Hey, handsome. Let's be friends," she drawled with a flirtatious smile playing on her lips. Then, she flashed her WhatsApp QR code and asked, "Can I add you on WhatsApp?"
Stephen was still on the phone, so he merely waved the woman off.
"Don't be so dull," she said in reply, her tone teasing as she deliberately drawled.
Stephen promptly took two steps to the side, trying to put some distance between them whilst continuing his conversation on the phone.
Alas, the woman continued to stand in place with a pout on her face.
Stephen soon ended his call. When he turned around, he immediately noticed that the woman was still there.
She immediately curled her lips into a bold smile. "You're the most gorgeous man I've ever met in my life. Frankly, I've never seen anyone as handsome as you. You're not a local, are you? Are you here on vacation? I could show you around, be your free personal tour guide!"
Stephen still had his back to Tessa. So, Tessa couldn't see the look on his face.
However, they were merely a few steps away from one another. So, she could hear the coldness in his voice as he replied, "It's fine. I'm here for my girlfriend."
The smile on the woman's lips slipped away as she muttered in disappointment, "Oh, you're taken, huh?"
Just then, her gaze shifted past him and landed on Tessa, who was standing behind him. So, she tilted her chin at Stephen and gestured, "Is that your girlfriend over there?"
Stephen turned around upon hearing her words. When his eyes landed on Tessa, the frost glazing his eyes seemed to melt away. His expression immediately softened as he murmured, "Tess."
Then, he quickly strode toward Tessa.
Tessa didn't look at all bothered as she asked, "Why are you here?"

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
