Chapter 687 This Isn’t Over Yet
“Miss Turner, please come with me.”
“I’m not leaving!”
Yvette ignored the secretary and looked at Timothy stubbornly.
His expression was ice cold at this point as he warned, “Miss Turner, I did not want to make this into a big deal for the sake of the cooperation between our companies. But if you still can’t read the situation, I hope you won’t blame me when the security guards come and throw you out.”
“Timothy Reinhart! How could you do this to me?”
Yvette was distraught.
However, she absolutely believed that if she insisted on staying, Timothy would turn his words into actions.
Not wanting to embarrass herself, nor could she afford to make a fool of herself, she could only scowl at Tessa and threaten her through gritted teeth, “This isn’t over yet!”
Then, she turned on her heels and left the office once she left that threat behind.
After Yvette entered the elevator, she recalled the humiliation she felt in the office earlier and stomped her foot in anger. So, she ground her teeth as she cursed, “Stupid b*tch! How dare she lay her fingers on my man! I won’t let her off the hook!”
On the other hand, Tessa, who was in Timothy’s office, did not take Yvette’s words seriously at all.
She gestured for Timothy to take a seat on the couch and smiled. “Are you done with work?”
Timothy nodded and apologized, “I feel so bad for what happened earlier. You weren’t bullied, were you?”
“Do you think I look like someone who could be bullied?”
Tessa laughed and changed the topic, asking, “But what’s with the girl earlier? Why is she so annoying?”
In response to that question, Timothy briefly explained the situation to Tessa.
“She’s Yvette Turner, and her family owns Turner Group. When I went there to discuss business with them the last time, I’m not sure what happened, but she suddenly started to harass me. Her brain’s probably wired differently, but it’s okay. I’ll deal with her.”
Tessa nodded when she heard this.
She trusted her brother to handle this matter.
But when Timothy recalled the events from earlier, he sought confirmation in worry again, “Were you really not offended by her earlier?”
“I wasn’t,“ Tessa replied, smiling. Then, not wanting to talk about the person who would affect their mood, she changed the topic and asked, “How’s the company doing recently? Everything alright here?”
“It’s great. Everything has been moving smoothly with Nicholas’ help.”
He told her the good parts, not forgetting to give credit to Nicholas.
Tessa was touched by what Nicholas did upon hearing her brother’s words.
Tessa had always been worried that others would look down upon her younger brother because of his disability. Now, with Nicholas’ help and Timothy’s capabilities, all of her worries were dissolved. Even though she was not a great choice, Timothy even managed to get himself an admirer.
With that, she could not help but let out a chuckle.
Timothy was confused when he heard Tessa’s sudden laugh. “Tess, what are you laughing about?”
Tessa did not hide it either and grinned. “I was worried that you had been too busy with work and might end up neglecting your love life. But, looking at the current situation, I have nothing to worry about anymore. Your abilities are enough to attract girls, although I wish you would attract normal girls the next time.”
After she said that, she looked at Timothy teasingly.
”Tess.”
Timothy was looking at her with adoration and helplessness.
The two siblings joked around for a little while before Tessa asked again, “Did you go for check-ups for your legs recently?”
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Timothy’s face as he pondered whether he should tell the truth or lie to his sister.
However, Tessa already knew the answer before he made his choice.
“You haven’t gone for check-ups, have you?”
Guiltily, Timothy admitted, “Not recently. I’ve been too busy with work.”
His answer made Tessa glared at him in anger. “What did I tell you last time? I told you to find time and get check-ups for your legs. You promised me you would do that, but you forgot everything I said right after, didn’t you?”
“Tess, don’t be mad. I’ll definitely go to the hospital once I have time.”
Timothy smiled placatingly.
Unfortunately, she snorted softly. “That’s going to take a long time. What about this? Clear your schedule for tomorrow regardless of the plans you have. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
He did not dare to disagree with his sister on this matter.
Later in the day, Timothy brought Tessa out for tea once he was done with work.
