Chapter 689 Unwanted Guest
When Tessa noticed that Nicholas was playing along, she wanted to continue the act.
“Mr. Sawyer, do you need a massage?”
There was no reason for him to reject her; if anything, he wanted her to do it.
When she noticed that, she walked along the side of the table towards him.
However, she did not expect that he would grab her wrist as soon as she was next to him.
Then, he put in some strength and pulled her into his embrace.
Before Tessa could react, his lips were already on hers.
Nicholas’ kiss was domineering yet gentle at the same time.
She could not help but give in as she reciprocated.
The temperature in the office seemed to be rising.
Just as Nicholas was about to take things a step further, Tessa suddenly returned to her senses.
Blushing, she struggled. “Nicholas, don’t do this. We’re in your office. What if someone comes in later?”
“No one is going to come in here.”
With that, he held her waist and hugged her even tighter.
Since she could not stop him, she could only let him be.
Just as the two of them were immersed in a heated kiss, the door was suddenly pushed open violently, followed by Janet, who strode into the room angrily.
Behind her was Edward with an anxious expression.
“Miss Brenner, I told you that the president isn’t available to meet any guests now. So, how could you barge into the office like this!”
As soon as those words left his lips, he noticed the scene in the office. At this moment, he wished he could poke himself blind just to offer his apology.
Oh God, I should’ve stopped her. She ruined Mr. Sawyer’s time.
It’s over for me. Mr. Sawyer will definitely make my life miserable from today onwards.
Janet could not hear Edward’s inner mournings.
She froze on the spot as if struck by thunder. Her eyes widened as she stared at Nicholas and Tessa while jealousy grew in her heart.
On the other hand, Tessa felt embarrassed when she saw Janet and Edward in the office. How she wished she could dig a hole on the spot and hide in it right now.
“Let go of me.”
With reddened cheeks, Tessa tried to stand up and escape from this embarrassing situation, but Nicholas did not allow her to do so.
“Just sit like this. It’s fine.”
As he said that, he hugged her even tighter.
Because of that, she had no choice but to sit on his lap awkwardly.
Shy and embarrassed, she looked at him in feigned anger.
Little did she know that her charming gaze instantly evoked a certain kind of feeling within him.
Fortunately, Nicholas remembered that there were still other people in his office.
He looked at Janet in displeasure and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Janet clenched her hands into fists at the sight of Nicholas’ indifference and impatience towards her.
Why? Why is Nicholas so gentle towards that b*tch? Why can’t he treat me with at least 1% of how he is treating her?
Fury burned in her gaze, but she suppressed all of them in the end.
“I’m here to tell you that Mr. Spurse invited you over for dinner tonight.”
“You can tell me this over the phone. You didn’t need to come here in person. You know that, right?”
Nicholas was questioning Janet coldly.
That made her grit her teeth subtly.
Indeed, she did not need to come here just to deliver the message. But she could not say she was here just to see him, could she?
In the end, she made up an excuse, “I just wanted to come out for some fresh air.”
“If that’s the case, you can leave now that you’ve passed the message to me.”
Nicholas wanted to send her out immediately.
That made Janet’s expression turn uglier.
However, she was unwilling to leave just like this. Instead, her gaze landed on Tessa.
Janet did not want Tessa to keep spending time with Nicholas here alone. “Miss Reinhart, are you going home now? I can send you back on the way.”
“It’s fine. I’ll go home with Nicholas later,” Tessa rejected softly.
Although Janet wanted to say something else, Nicholas left her no chance to do so and instructed, “Edward, see Miss Brenner out.”
“Yes, Mr. Sawyer.”
Edward understood his task and went forward.
All he wanted to do now was make up for his mistake, hoping Nicholas would not care about what happened earlier. “Miss Brenner, please come with me.”
Janet looked at Edward, then looked at the cold-hearted man not far away again. She knew that it would only make her presence even more unpleasant if she continued to stay.
