Chapter 565 The Second Test
Tessa suddenly laughed and booked her arms around his neck. “When did Mr. Landon becsuch a
gentleman?”
“I've always been this way-with you.” Landon lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eye, kissing away
the lingering wetness. “Once you're feeling better...”
“Once Grandpa's better,” Tessa finished for him, lightly tapping his Adam's apple with her finger. “Alright.”
Landon gave in, though his arms around her didn’t loosen. “Lethold you a bit longer.”
The light from the living room lamp stretched their shadows long across the floor, entwined and inseparable.
It was a while before Landon finally lo

estate tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
After getting ready for bed, Tessa fell asleep in Landon’s arms.
In the days that followed, Tessa ran like clockwork.
She buried herself in textbooks at the medical university by day, then spent her afternoons at the temporary
Sinclair Corporation office, tweaking the Sundawn Project's data streams. Rain or shine, she carved out two

Walter would laugh until his eyes watered, never knowing that the performance charts on her office desk were

Corporation to firmly outshine the White family.
That afternoon, just after her anatomy class, Tessa was summoned to the dean's office.
Tessa was summoned to the dean's office.
She opened the door to find Reginald sitting on the sofa, holding an unlit cigar between his fingers..
“Sir.” Tessa closed the door behind her, her tone calm and composed.

“Mm.”

“You beat my expectations by a full month.” He looked up at her, and for once, his gaze held less d. and more
scrutiny. “White Corp's overseas operations have been thoroughly disrupted. Your methods are ruthless.”.

“Alright, Ill see you out.” Tessa personally escorted Mr. Reginald to the gates of the medical university.
Just as she reached the entrance, her phone buzzed. Ethan’s nflashed across the screen.

“What is it?” Tessa answered directly.
