Chapter 1182 Tessa’s Suspicion

After all, his smile was the source of her drive to do anything. After leaving the hospital,

Timothy and Sabrina returned to the company, but who’d have thought they’d bump into

Tessa just as they exited the car?

For once, Tessa got a break from her intensive rehearsal, so she decided to see how her

dear brother was doing.

“Looks like I came at the perfect time.” Tessa approached the pair with a smile when she

saw them getting out of the vehicle. “Did you guys meet a client?”

“Tessa,” Sabrina greeted sweetly. imothy, on the other hand, supported Tessa while

explaining, “We came back from the hospital.”

Tessa knew at once that he had gone to visit Amber. With that, she looked worriedly at

him. “She didn’t bully you, did she?”

“No. Plus, her current condition won’t allow her to do anything either.” Timothy shook his

head with a smile.

Rest assured, Tessa asked casually, “How is she, then?”

“She should be alright since she has the energy to cuss,” he answered while helping his

sister into the elevator.

Tessa, on the other hand, asked no more after knowing Amber was doing alright. At that,

she asked, “Have you secured the deal you were talking about?”

“I’ve called it off,” Timothy answered frankly.

“Called it off? Why?” Tessa asked in surprise. She recalled that Timothy had deliberately

come back for the project.

As Timothy didn’t want his sister to worry, he answered half-truthfully, “We couldn’t agree

on the rate no matter how. Plus, another company has offered me a better deal, so I

should choose the better one, no?”

Tessa didn’t know much about business, so she didn’t suspect a thing. Very quickly, the

trio entered Timothy’s office.

After sitting down, Tessa asked Timothy about the company’s other operations, to which

the latter said everything was fine, for he didn’t intend to worry his sister about the

company’s problems.

When Sabrina saw through Timothy’s intentions, she covered up for him at once. “There’s

no need to worry, Tessa. The company’s doing just fine, and Mr. Tompkins bagged a few

deals some time ago.”

“No wonder I hadn’t seen Henry the last few times I visited.” Tessa smiled and changed

the subject, never suspecting that the two would fool her.

Meanwhile, Timothy looked toward his assistant with a gaze implying that she was doing a

good job, which Sabrina caught.

Joyous, the young woman attended to Tessa more enthusiastically. “Tessa, Mr. Reinhart

once told me you’re really good at making pastries. I’ve brought some that I made myself.

Would you like to try some and give me a few pointers?”

“I’d be glad to,” Tessa agreed gladly.

Very quickly, Sabrina returned with her pastries and handed one to Tessa. “Here, Tessa.

Tell me what you think.”

Tessa nodded and took a bite. Though she thought it was good, she believed it could be

better.

Thus, she gave a few comments, which Sabrina took seriously.

Just like that, the two chatted merrily while Timothy gazed tenderly at his sister, thinking

life like this was wonderful.

Sometime later, as Tessa was about to leave, a manager in a suit and tie came in after

knocking hastily on the door.

“Mr. Reinhart, we just got word that the deal we negotiated yesterday was also

intercepted.”

It wasn’t until he finished speaking that he realized Tessa was present as well.

Immediately, he greeted her bashfully, “Oh, hey, Tessa.”

Tessa nodded in reply, but her brows were locked into a furrow. Also?

Clearly, this wasn’t the first time they had been intercepted.

Timothy, on the other hand, was looking less than pleased.

He shot the manager a glare, then turned to Tessa and said gently, “You’re heading back,

aren’t you, Tess? I’ll see you out.”

How could Tessa not tell that her dear brother wanted her to leave? But recalling what the

manager had said, she shook her head and turned him down. “I’m in no rush. Go ahead

and deal with the issue at hand first.”
