His Unveiled Passion

Sienna was quick to agree, saying, "That's right. This is definitely the one."

"Really?" Tessa asked. Then, she added somewhat suspiciously, "You two are oddly in sync today."

Sienna had a sweet smile on her face as she replied, "You're overthinking it. I've always liked dresses like these."

Naomi immediately concurred. "Quentin told me that Stephen will be wearing a suit today. You wearing this dress, and Stephen in a suit? Talk about perfection!"

Tessa turned to look at the dress once more. It was indeed a gorgeous dress.

Since Stephen was going to be in a suit later, she saw no reason not to wear this dress.

Sienna and Naomi could only stare at Tessa in awe once she changed into the dress.

"This dress was made for you, Tessa!" Naomi exclaimed dramatically. Then, she faked a swoon as she said, "God, babe. I think you've ruined me for other women."

Sienna was also blown away. "Wow, you're stunning! You have to wear this dress. This is the one!"

Both Sienna and Naomi couldn't help but marvel inwardly, "As expected of a custom dress designed by a world-renowned designer hired by Stephen himself."

Tessa looked at herself in the mirror. It was indeed a beautiful dress, but it was also a bit too much.

So, she turned to her friends and asked, "Stephen will only be inviting his friends to his birthday party. Don't you think this dress is a bit too grand for the occasion?"

Naomi shook her head and shot down her worries immediately. "No, this is perfect. So what if it's a little ostentatious? Isn't this your first time attending Stephen's birthday party as his girlfriend? Screw propriety. You should totally go all out and show him how much you care for him. Right, Sienna?"

Naomi shot Sienna a meaningful look.

Sienna nodded vehemently. "Exactly what she said. Today's a special day. You should doll yourself up."

Tessa thought it over and had to agree with their words. This was indeed her first time celebrating Stephen's birthday as his girlfriend.

Tessa looked at her reflection in the mirror and curled her lips into a soft smile, murmuring, "This one it is, then."

The makeup artist applied some

light makeup to Tessa's face, accentuating her sweet features.

Meanwhile, her hair remained as it was-long, dark, and straight.

Besides, the simpler the hairstyle, the more it demanded from one's beauty.

Her hairstyle for the day could easily look plain or old-fashioned if others were not

careful. Fortunately, that wasn't something she had to worry over.

Tessa, Naomi, and Sienna arrived at Stephen's villa at 6:30 pm.

There were a lot of people in attendance Aside from Sienna, Naomi, Quentin, and Henry, who were Tessa and Stephen's mutualnoveldrama

friends a few of Tessa's colleagues and Stephen's friends were also there. .

Tessa was rather surprised. After all, Stephen was never one for crowds. So why

did he invite so many people today?

Marissa wasn't one of the guests of the night. She was still trying her best to move on. Although Stephen didn't bother inviting her, she

wouldn't have shown her face el.ne

if he had. She was certain that

Stephen would use this opportunity to rub his happiness in her face again.

Naomi led Tessa inside. "Tessa, come with me."

Tessa chuckled and inquired, "And where are you taking me?"

Naomi gave her an impish look as she answered mysteriously, "You'll see."

Sienna and Naomi strode in, flanking Tessa.

Their actions only made Tessa even more confused. "What's going on, Naomi? Where are you taking me? Stephen's waiting for us in the hall."

"You'll know in a minute," Naomi said as she tugged Tessa onward.

Tessa had never been to this villa, ever.

So, she didn't know the layout and had absolutely no idea where Naomi was taking her.
