His Unveiled Passion

Tessa realized that she had vastly underestimated the complexities of the workplace.

She had initially thought a simple meal would be enough to improve her relationship with her colleagues- but she had been overly naive.

The workplace was a brutal place, where people could tear you down without hesitation.

It was at that moment she understood; the only thing that truly mattered was a person's capability and background. No one cared about your personality or how you treated others. Sometimes, being too kind or too accommodating only made you an easier target.

Tessa stared at the screenshots on her computer screen, her jaw clenched tight. She texted Jasmine

back. "Jasmine, thank you for telling me all this. Could you do me a favor?"

Jasmine quickly responded, "Of course. You saved my life, so I'll help you with anything."

"The next time they talk about me, I want you to record it for me."

Jasmine immediately replied, "Got it."

Tessa took a deep breath to calm herself before giving Samuel a call. "Hey, Dad. Does our company need a legal advisor?""

After hanging up, Tessa headed to the printing room to print several copies of contracts and then headed straight to Yates Corporation. As she reached the company, she immediately made her way to the chairman's office.

Samuel had just finished a meeting and knew that she was coming, so he was already waiting for her in the office.

Tessa tossed the contracts onto his desk. "Dad, take a look at these contracts. If there are no problems, please go ahead and sign them."

Samuel flipped through the contracts. "I've already checked with my assistant. The company's current legal advisory contract with the previous law firm expires at the end of this year. I can sign a five-year contract with your firm, but it can only start from the beginning of next year."

Tessa nodded. "No problem. But once the contract is signed this afternoon, the payment has to be made immediately."

Samuel looked up at her and asked inquisitively, "Is it that urgent?"

"Yes. I went to negotiate a case yesterday but ended up being harassed by two old geezers. The case fell through, and my supervisor gave me an ultimatum."

As soon as Samuel heard she was harassed, he immediately grew anxious. "Who dared to harass you?" Tessa shrugged. "Don't worry, they didn't succeed. In fact, I even gave them a good beating."

Samuel frowned. "Tessa, why don't you quit being a lawyer? Not long ago, your firm got into trouble, and now you're being harassed. Being a lawyer is too risky. What if someone tries to retaliate against you in the future?

"Why don't you just come back to the company? I'll arrange a general manager position for you."

Tessa shook her head. "No. For now,

I still prefer being a lawyer. I hold shares in the company, and the dividends are enough for me. Besides, I don't know anything about managing a business. If I become a general manager, aren't you worried Pruin the entire company?"

Samuel chuckled. "I'll hire a professional to assist you."

Tessa persisted. "There's no need. If I ever grow tired of being a lawyer, then we'll talk." Samuel sighed in resignation. "You're impossible..."

He signed the five-year legal

advisory contract and then immediately called the finance

department to transfer 15 thousand

dollars to the law firm's account.

Tessa asked with a smile, "Are there any ongoing disputes in the company lately?"

Samuel dialed an internal line and called his subordinate in.

"You can talk to Zander about it. I don't usually deal with these things."

"Okay."noveldrama
