Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 169

"I need to head out early, Nanette. Something's come up."

Isadora kept her eyes on her phone as she spoke.

"So soon?"

Nanette glanced over, looking like something was weighing on her mind. She noticed Isadora still staring intently at her phone.

A knowing, slightly teasing smile spread across Nanette's face. "Alright then, don't let me keep you. Go on your Prince Charming's waiting."

Isadora opened her mouth to explain, but the words wouldn't come.

Ever since she'd given Nanette that recording, Nanette seemed convinced she'd asked Victor for help. If she ever found out it was actually Victor's grandmother who'd pulled the strings, there's no way she'd have accepted it. So, Isadora had to keep it to herself.

After Isadora left, Nanette's mood visibly dipped. She'd been putting on a smile for everyone all day as the event's spokesperson, and the effort was starting to wear her out.

She made her way straight for the lounge area, aiming for the nearest couch, when a man in sharply polished dress shoes suddenly blocked her path.
