"I do like him... but what happens next depends on how he behaves." Even though Landon already meant more and more to her, Tessa's pride wouldn't let her admit it outright.
"Oh, fair enough. Landon might be impressive, but our Tessa's not exactly easy to deal with either." His granddaughter was the most remarkable person in the world-she deserved the very best.
"Alright, Grandpa, I'm heading to Beauty Lux now." "Go ahead! Be careful." Tessa left Walter's room and went straight to Beauty Lux.
The Beauty Lux of today was nothing like the nearly-bankrupt company it used to be. The moment you stepped into headquarters, you could see the confident, composed smiles on everyone's faces..

Landon opened the passenger door for her himself. "All done?" "Yeah. What about you?" Tessa looked at him. "It's not even dinnertyet. You didn't need to cthis early." "Relax.

"Just knowing I'd get to see you mademore efficient," Landon said gently.
Tessa couldn't help but blush. "We've only been apart for a few hours, Mr. Landon. Aren't you a little too clingy?" "If I had it my way, I'd spend all twenty-four hours of the day with you."

"That's right. Him. Honestly, I think Tessa must've drugged him on M something. Why else would someone like him go for her?" Cedric didn't even register Winona's bitterness.
