Chapter 690 The Lounge
In the end, Janet could only leave in a fury.
As soon as she exited the office, Tessa’s exclamation sounded behind her
It turned out that Nicholas carried her in his arms and was walking towards his lounge.
Janet looked at the two people who had disappeared into the room; it did not take much effort for her to figure out what they would do.
At this moment, jealousy was raging in her heart. She wanted to dash into the room and drag Tessa—who she viewed as the b*tch who seduced Nicholas—out and kill her.
Janet stared at the lounge door unwillingly as her hands curled into fists. Her nails dug into her palms, but she was numb and seemingly unable to feel the pain.
On the other hand, Edward knew exactly what to do.
He quickly shut the office door and made a mental note to himself that he would not allow anyone to disturb the president, even if it were for work, in the next hour.
At the same time, he felt that Nicholas had more potential to become a boss who would get distracted by his lover, which may cause him to slack off at work ever since he fell in love.
Meanwhile, in the lounge, Nicholas gently put Tessa down on the bed before hovering above her.
In the following time, Tessa felt like a small boat in the sea; she rode on high tides at some points and low tides at some, but one thing that was for sure was that she was sinking deeper into the sensation.
Later in the day, Nicholas finally came out of the resting room, looking content.
At the sight of the man who was already dressed, Tessa covered herself with the blanket while she sat on the bed angrily.
“You made me do this in the office in broad daylight! How am I supposed to face your employees after this? Plus, you ruined my clothes! How am I supposed to wear them now?”
She glared at him angrily, but it was attractive to him because the seductive look on her still lingered.
Nicholas swallowed hard. But he was still in control of himself and managed to suppress a certain kind of feeling within him.
That was because he knew she would be genuinely furious if he pulled this off again.
“Hey, don’t be mad. I’ll get the secretary to buy some clothes for you.”
Nicholas comforted Tessa.
She found it embarrassing to ask his secretary to buy clothes for her because that would indirectly tell others what they had done.
However, there were no better choices for her now unless she stayed overnight.
Nicholas had no idea about Tessa’s thoughts.
He walked towards his desk and dialed the intercom for the secretary’s office as he ordered, “Go and buy a set of clothes for ladies.”
Then, he gave Tessa’s measurements to his secretary.
Less than half an hour later, his secretary came into his office with the clothes.
“Mr. Sawyer, here are the clothes you asked for.”
She handed the clothes over to him respectfully, but realized that Nicholas was the only one in the office. So, with her peripheral vision, she glanced toward his lounge with a teasing look.
However, he did not notice his secretary’s unusualness and just said, “Just put it on the sofa, then you can leave.”
His secretary nodded and then did as he told her before leaving the office.
Afterward, Nicholas knocked on the door to the resting room while he carried the shopping bag in one hand, “Tess, they got your clothes.”
A moment later, Tessa opened the door slightly and revealed a crack. She stretched out one of her arms, “Give me the clothes. And you, you can’t come in.”
He chuckled and handed the shopping bag over to her.
A few minutes later, Tessa came out neatly dressed.
Initially, she was planning to leave, but Nicholas stopped her. “Don’t leave yet. Come with me to dinner with Mr. Spurse tonight.”
Hearing that, Tessa did not refuse him and took a seat on the sofa.
That night, at a high-end, members-exclusive restaurant, Nicholas came together with Tessa.
The two held hands, and with their outstanding appearance, they attracted the attention of many customers along the way.
When Janet saw the two come hand-in-hand, jealousy immediately colored her gaze.
Cole noticed the couple, too, and was somewhat taken aback by their appearance together. But he immediately regained his composure as he invited them to take their seats.
“I didn’t expect you to come too, Miss Reinhart. I’ll get the waiter to bring you a set of cutlery.”
With that, he waved to the waiter next to him and ordered another set of cutlery to be available.
Tessa was a little awkward, “I came without your invitation. I hope I won’t be an inconvenience.”
“Don’t worry about it. I am the one who did not consider things appropriately.”
