Chapter 686 It’s None of Your Concern
Tessa had no idea what the secretary was thinking.
She looked at Yvette with even more displeasure in her gaze.
What does she take my brother for? An object?
Tessa’s expression unconsciously turned cold as she rebuked, “I don’t care who you are, but you better follow the rules now that you are here. This isn’t a place where you can do whatever you want.”
“It isn’t a place for me to do that, but is it yours?”
Yvette retorted without even thinking; the anger within her continued to grow.
How dare this b*tch reprimand me? Who does she think she is?
Tessa narrowed her eyes and confronted Yvette with hostility, “If you’re not convinced, I can get someone to throw you out right now. After that, you’ll see if I can be the boss around here!”
No matter what, Tessa had to let Yvette understand that this was not a place for her to be rambunctious.
It would affect Timothy’s work in the future.
However, Yvette did not think about that.
All she knew was that Tessa was relying on Timothy’s influence around here to bully her, and it pissed her off very much.
“Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you lecture me?”
Yvette strode forward angrily and raised her hand, about to slap Tessa.
Tessa’s gaze turned sharp at the sight of the hand getting closer to her face.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to protect herself, a slender hand appeared and caught Yvette’s wrist accurately.
Timothy stood in front of Tessa, his expression solemn as he berated, “Yvette Turner! What are you doing?”
He did not expect to see his sister about to be slapped as soon as he returned. It made him furious beyond words.
He had always been unwilling to see his sister upset. Yet now, someone was trying to slap his sister in his territory. Did they have no regard for him at all?
When the secretary noticed his boss was back, he breathed a breath of relief.
If Yvette had really slapped Tessa, things would have become complicated.
It startled Yvette when she saw Timothy, who was furious.
She quickly retracted her hand and hid her arrogant temperament, and her expression changed entirely as well.
“Timothy, I came here to wait for you, but I saw this woman in your office. She was so rude to me.”
As if she had just found someone to back her up, she made her claims first and looked at Tessa triumphantly, “She was going to use your influence at the office to kick me out earlier. Plus, she only approached you because she had bad intentions. So, you should get her out of here quickly.”
Timothy actually laughed out loud from anger when he heard this.
Is this woman asking me to kick my sister out? Who does she think she is?
“I told her to stay in my office. Also, she does not need to rely on my influence around here. She has the right to handle anything and everything in my company!”
Tessa felt a wave of warmth wash over her when she heard her brother protecting her.
So, she merely sat silently by the side and waited for Timothy to settle things with Yvette.
However, Yvette looked at Timothy in disbelief, unwilling to accept what she had just heard.
It distressed her, especially when she felt that Timothy would protect Tessa at all costs.
“How could she?” Yvette questioned as she bit her lower lip, unwilling to accept the truth. “What’s the relationship between the both of you?”
“That’s none of your concern.”
Timothy believed this was his personal matter, and there was no need to explain things to Yvette.
As Yvette looked at Timothy, who was so distant from her, she became even more upset while her anger grew.
She remembered that Tessa used the same tone and said similar words to her earlier.
“How is it not my concern when I like you?”
“Because I don’t like you,” Timothy rejected her without hesitation as his impatience started to show in his gaze.
It was a pity that Yvette missed it.
She pointed at Tessa angrily and asked, “If you don’t like me, then do you like her?”
“Who I like is none of your business,” Timothy retaliated. His patience had finally run out as he said, “I won’t pursue this matter of you barging into my office for your father’s sake, but this is the only chance you get. See her out!”
The secretary didn’t dare to dally in his task a second longer because he noticed that Timothy was utterly enraged.
