Chapter 684 A Surprise Visit
Timothy raised his head, and just as he was about to question the visitor, a stunned expression appeared on his face.
“Tess, what are you doing here?”
He looked at Tessa in disbelief.
She gave him a sly smile and asked him in return, “Are you surprised?”
“You bet I am!”
He immediately got up from his seat and happily pulled her towards the sofa.
She grinned as she expressed her concern, “Did you take good care of yourself?”
“Of course.”
“Tess, why didn’t you tell me you were back?”
“I came back in a hurry this time because Nicholas’ grandfather is sick,” she explained.
“Is his grandfather okay?”
“Yeah, he is fine.”
Then, she proceeded to tell him briefly about Remus’ condition.
Timothy nodded and inquired, “How is Nicholas’ recovery going?”
“He’s recovering well. Don’t worry.”
With that said, the two continued to chat about their everyday lives.
Later, Timothy’s assistant knocked on the door and came in.
“Mr. Reinhart, there’s a slight problem at the technical department. You’ll need to take a look at that.”
That put a frown on Timothy’s face as he seemed unwilling to leave.
Tessa understood why he was reluctant and persuaded him, “You should go and settle things first. I’ll wait for you here.”
He could only nod in resignation. “Okay. I’ll go and take a look at what’s happening.”
With that, he turned and instructed his assistant, “Get someone to serve some snacks and fruits to my sister. Oh, and bring some magazines too.”
His assistant nodded agreeably and then left to carry out his tasks.
Timothy said a few more words to Tessa before he left for the technical department.
A moment later, one of the employees brought snacks and fruits for Tessa.
Tessa sat on the couch in relaxation as she ate the fruits while scrolling through her phone.
Suddenly, she heard a loud noise from outside not long later.
“Miss Turner, please don’t make things difficult for me. Mr. Reinhart really isn’t in his office.”
“Get out of my way.“
Yvette ignored Timothy’s secretary and strode towards his office.
She believed that Timothy deliberately got his people to tell her that he was not in his office because he did not want to meet her.
With that, she barged into his office.
“Timothy Reinhart! Why are you like this? I’ve looked for you several times, but why do you have to avoid me every time?”
After she vented her anger, she finally realized that Timothy was nowhere to be seen in his office. Instead, a beautiful woman was sitting on the couch.
Tessa was surprised to see Yvette barge into the office too.
So, Tessa naturally began to take a good look at the strange woman.
Yvette was young, probably in her early twenties, adorned in luxury clothes. Her brown, wavy hair draped behind her effortlessly while her face was small, and she had delicate features. All in all, she was a gorgeous lady.
But the only downside about her was that she had a contemptuous gaze which made her appear arrogant.
While Tessa was still trying to figure out who Yvette was, Yvette had already questioned her, “Who are you? Why are you in Timothy’s office?”
Yvette looked at Tessa with hostility as a sense of insecurity surged within her.
That was because she had never seen Timothy with any woman. But now, a woman was sitting in his office without a care in the world. She’s even snacking in his office openly!
Most importantly, Yvette thought that Tessa was prettier than her.
Tessa didn’t miss the hostility in Yvette’s eyes. Therefore, she raised her brows as she retorted, “Who are you? This is a workplace. Don’t you think it’s impolite of you to barge in here?”
Yvette was speechless and shot Tessa a glare. “That’s none of your business!”
Tessa frowned in slight displeasure when she heard this.
The atmosphere in the office turned tense all of a sudden.
Timothy’s secretary quickly explained the situation to her in a hushed voice when she saw this.
“Miss Reinhart, she is the daughter of one of our clients. After she met Mr. Reinhart, she had constantly been harassing him ever since.”
“Oh?”
Tessa found it odd yet fascinating at the same time.
After all, it was great news that her brother had an admirer. Although, this girl might be more than in a little troublesome.
