After a while, Naomi finally found the picture of Lester. She passed her phone to Tessa and said, “Here, this is Lester. What do you think? Handsome, right?”

Tessa looked at the photo. It seemed to have been taken in a library.

With books stacked high on the shelves behind him, Lester read peacefully by the window.

The sunlight cast a golden glow on him, highlighting his sharp features. His deep- set eyes, expressive brows, and straight nose gave him a striking look.

But as Tessa stared at the photo, she drifted off in thought. There was something familiar about him. It was as if she had seen him somewhere before.

Sienna leaned in and asked, “How do you even have this photo? Isn’t that the library at the University of Political Science and Law? Have you been there?”

Naomi said, “Nope. I found it on their student forum page. Someone uploaded his picture back then, trying to get his contact information.

“What do you think, Tessa? Did this rekindle your interest in men? He looks way too good to be real. What a waste for him to be a lawyer! He should totally be a celebrity.”

Tessa chuckled. “Like I said—I’m just not into men right now.”

Just then, a deep and magnetic voice cut in. “Well, that’s a shame.”

Tessa turned toward the voice and froze.

Sienna and Naomi whipped their heads around too.

Naomi’s eyes widened in shock. “Oh my God! We were just talking about him. How did he suddenly show up?”

Sienna greeted him with a smile. “What a coincidence.”

It was Lester himself. With his

Naomi gave Tessa a playful wink. “You two were meant to meet!”

Tessa extended her hand with a warm smile. She greeted him, “Hello, I’m Tessa.”

Lester shook her hand. “Hello, I’m Lester.”

Sienna smiled. “I was just about to introduce you two, and here you are.”

Lester smiled and asked, “Can I join you guys?”

Naomi replied, “Just sit wherever you’d like.” As she spoke, she settled between Tessa and Sienna.

Lester pulled out a chair next to Tessa and sat down. He asked, “So, what were you guys talking about?”

Naomi said, “You!”

Sienna added, “Tessa is starting her own law firm, so I thought I’d

introduce you two. I remembered that you’ve been practicing for over

three years now. Would you be interested in becoming her partner?”

Lester turned to Tessa with a smile. His voice was gentle as he asked, “Can I?”

The more Tessa looked at him, the more familiar he seemed.
