Chapter 62

Isadora, you're getting bolder by the day.

Well, well. Impressive.

She'd actually gone behind his back to approach Victor from The Fitzgerald Group -using that move to push back at him, to force him to give ground.

Excellent.

So excellent that Magnus had to admit it, even if through gritted teeth.

This time, Isadora had truly gotten under his skin.

Magnus reached into his pocket, intending to call her. He started punching in her number-then abruptly remembered that she'd deleted his contact last week.

The frustration and anger in his chest only grew, burning hotter. He yanked at the perfectly knotted black tie around his neck in irritation.

"Lean. Hand me your phone."

"Mr. Wainwright?" Lean blinked. Why the sudden need for his phone?

Magnus's voice went cold as ice. "Did you leave your ears at home this morning? I said, give me your phone."

That chilling tone was enough to make Lean think twice about asking questions. He quickly unlocked his phone and handed it over, not daring to ask what Magnus needed it for.
