Chapter 55- Only girl
Aaron’s heart soared with happiness at Tessa’s words. He stepped closer to her and snaked an arm around her waist, pulling her
close.
His other hand grabbed her chin. He tilted her head up and kissed her hard, sucking and nibbling on her lips with so much
passion that was out of this world.
As he kissed Tessa, he felt tingles rush through his body and excitement crept into him as he thought about what she had offered
to do. He had missed working with Tessa and although he was sad that something had happened to the company, he was elated
that he got to spend time. with the love of his life.
He grabbed the back of Tessa’s head and deepened the kiss, tightening his hold on her waist as if he wanted to be moulded into
her. It didn’t take long for him to get turned on and his shaft throbbed against Tessa’s abdomen.
That seemed to bring them back to the present. When they broke apart, Tessa blushed and glanced at Edmund who was
sleeping on the hospital bed. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw that he was still asleep.
She playfully hit Aaron’s arm before whispering, “How could you kiss me like that in front of your father?”
Aaron smirked and grabbed Tessa’s hand before lacing their fingers. He replied, “I can kiss you anywhere I want because you’re
mine, cupcake. Don’t worry, Dad will be out for some hours due to the medication. He didn’t see us.”
When they reached the Wentworth group company building, Aaron hooked his arm with Tessa’s and they walked in together. The
security guards at the entrance bowed at them in reverence, greeting, “Good evening, Miss Hilton. Good evening, Mr
Wentworth.”
Tessa’s lips curved into a smile when she was acknowledged by Aaron’s staff. She leaned onto Aaron’s shoulder and asked,
“They know me? These guards look new though.”
“Everyone in this company knows you, love. I made sure of that. I uploaded your photo on the company portfolio so that those
who don’t know you can recognise you in case you visit me. I wouldn’t want anyone refusing you entry because they didn’t know
you’re my woman, Aaron remarked as they entered the CEO’s private elevator.
A wave of giddiness hit Tessa and heat crept up her face. Her heart fluttered wildly and she tightened her hold on Aaron’s arm,
saying, “You’re spoiling me too much, babe. I might get

used to it.”
“I want you to get used to it. I promise to give you the very best that life can offer,” Aaron declared just as they stepped onto the
topmost floor.
When they got to his office, Aaron led Tessa to the visitor’s lounge and said, “Just sit and keep
me company. I have to write a lot of letters and I don’t want you to hurt your hands.”
“What? Didn’t you already agree? I can’t just sit and watch you do all the work. I want to help,” Tessa complained as she took a
seat on a leather couch.
Aaron had called a few people to the company so that they could work on the issue at hand. Enock had already left with some
experts in search of the missing ships.
“Having you here is enough help. Your presence gives me the strength to go on. There’s nothing that can be done until we find
the ships and the culprit. While my tech team is working on trying to stop the stocks from dropping any further, I’ll write to the
victim’s families to show them that we care and we are not taking this case lightly,” Aaron declared.
“Ok. If you say so. Maybe I can draw a few sketches. I love drawing by hand but since I don’t have my tools, I’ll use your
notebook,” Tessa said.

She then took Aaron’s notebook and sat on the couch before opening it. Aaron smiled when he looked at her. He had a sense of
nostalgia.
Back then, they used to work like this. Tessa would accompany him for hours until he was done. She would make him coffee.
Bring him lunch or give him a shoulder massage to lessen
his burden.
He didn’t appreciate it then, but now he realised how working together with his loved one felt so good and romantic.
The room fell into a comfortable silence. Aaron went to his desk and got busy with writing the letters by hand. Tessa proceeded
to make some sketches in the notebook but she would occasionally throw Aaron a look. Which he would return as if he could
sense her staring. The two would smile at each other as if they had a silent understanding and then go back to work
After a few hours, Tessa raised her head and glanced at Aaron.

He looked so engrossed in what he was doing. There was a pile of envelopes next to him and she wondered if his hand didn’t
hurt after writing all those letters.
“Would you like me to make you some coffee?” She found herself offering when she realised he could be tired.
Aaron raised his head to look at her. He smiled and shook his head, “No, love. Just relax. I’ll ask Nora to make us some.”
“No need of troubling her. I know where the kitchen is,” Tessa said and got to her feet. “I’ll be back.”
There was a small kitchen on the topmost floor to make it more convenient for the CEO in case he wanted food made instead of
buying from a restaurant. Tessa went there and began to
make coffee.
Just then, Nora Miller, her former junior assistant, entered.
“Tessa, Hi. It’s so nice to see you here,” Nora commented as soon she approached Tessa.
Tessa smiled and replied, “Yeah... it feels like yesterday when we used to come to this kitchen to make coffee together. How
have you been though?”
“Been ok. As you can see. So, you and the boss are an official couple now? I never thought the rumours about you were true
until I saw your kids,” Nora said airily, brushing her red hair away from her face.
Tessa’s eyebrows creased slightly. She didn’t know if Nora meant something else or if it was just an innocent remark. However,
she brushed it off and smiled at her, admitting, “The rumours are true. I was with him back then and we just made up.”
A vicious look flitted through Nora’s eyes but Tessa missed it. Nora clenched her fists and said, “That’s great. Are you here to
make Mr Wentworth’s coffee?”
“Yeah... he looks tired so...” Tessa trailed as she switched on the coffee maker.
“He likes his coffee with milk now,” Nora stated. “Let me make it the way he likes it.”
Tessa was pushed aside as Nora took over, making the coffee. She was bereft of words as she wondered what she had done to
offend her former junior. Nora was acting like Tessa was her mortal enemy and Tessa had no idea how she had offended her..

“I’ve made his coffee all this while when you were away. He’s very picky and it took some time for him to get used to the coffee I
made. I would rather I make it to avoid him getting cranky... you know what I mean, right?” Nora remarked with a fake smile on
her face.
Tessa raised her hands in surrender and said, “You know your boss better.”
“I’m not trying to take your place or anything. We both know you haven’t seen him in years and people change you know. He
might have liked black coffee when you were here but now, he likes something sweeter and creamier,” Nora said with a strange
tone to her voice.
Tessa felt like Nora was trying to say something else to her with her ambiguous words but she brushed the thoughts away.
‘No.... there’s no way Aaron would have done anything with Nora. She’s just his assistant.’
However, she had been Aaron’s assistant before and they had a secret affair. The seed of doubt. had already been planted in

her mind but she forced a smile at Nora and got the cup from her.
“I’ll take this to him and let him know you made it,” Tessa said curtly before whipping around
to leave.
When Tessa left, anger ripped through Nora. She glared at the door and clenched her fists tightly.
Having worked with Aaron for five years, she had found herself falling for him. He was handsome and rich and his deep voice
was enough to make any girl drop her panties.
3.5
It just started as a crush but then it grew into something bigger. She dreamed about him every night and thought about him 24/7.
It was crazy. Aaron had never shown her any signs of wanting to have an affair with her but she found herself falling deeper than
the ocean.
She tried everything she could to drop hints at him. Dressing up in sexy clothes, putting on makeup to look beautiful, even
working harder than everyone else.
Regardless, Aaron didn’t bat an eye at her. He never spared her a glance even when she won the Employee of the Month award
and Aaron had to present her with an award. Instead of the attention she hoped to get from him, Aaron ignored her as if her

efforts meant nothing.
Despite all this, Nora thought she still had a chance since Aaron hadn’t fired her yet. However, Tessa who had disappeared for
five years suddenly appeared with Aaron’s triplets and wrapped him around her little finger.
Jealousy flared through Nora. She was ok when Tessa and Aaron met outside the company, but Tessa suddenly followed her
into her territory. She wasn’t going to go down without a fight.
A thought occurred to her and an evil smile plastered on her face. She cackled wickedly and said silently, ‘Tessa thinks she can
come in here and steal my man? I’ll make Aaron hate her for life.’
Meanwhile, Tessa went back to the office and placed the cup of coffee on Aaron’s desk. She then folded her arms across her
chest, lifted her chin high and waited.
Aaron felt a heated gaze trying to burn holes in him so he raised his head and found Tessa. shooting daggers at him with her
eyes. He frowned, feeling confused, “What’s wrong, love?”
“Did something happen between you and Nora?” Tessa questioned.
“What? Hell, no. I was looking for you, why would I do anything with her? What makes you say that, love?” Aaron remarked with
wrinkled eyebrows.
“She said you love your coffee sweeter and creamier now. I don’t think she was talking about. the coffee. Tell me, is it just her
coffee that you like or-
”
Aaron suddenly burst into laughter, making Tessa’s frown deepen. “What’s funny?”
Aaron sat back in his seat and shook his head, explaining, “I had stopped drinking coffee when you left because no one could
make it the way you did. But I missed you so much so I started drinking coffee the way you like it. With milk and sugar. That was
the only way I could feel like you were close. It kept me going. The only reason I prefer it with milk now is because that’s how you
like your coffee. And just to reassure you again. I’ve never been with any other woman apart from you. You are my first and last,
Tessa.”
Tessa’s heart skipped a beat and her cheeks reddened. She bit her bottom lip and said, “Oh... but do you know that Nora likes
you?”

Aaron frowned. “For real? I didn’t know. Did she make trouble for you? Let me fire her right
now-”
“No, don’t do that. I don’t blame her. She must have been seduced by your looks. I wish I can carry you and hide you in my bag.
So many women want to steal you away from me,” Tessa huffed and pouted.
Aaron got to his feet and walked around the oak table. He grabbed Tessa’s waist and pulled her close to his body.
Brushing some stray hairs that had fallen in front of her face away, he lowered his head and whispered, “You do know that you’re
my only girl, right?”
