Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 180

"Well, thanks, but why don't you go try your luck with someone else?"

Scales had never failed at chasing a woman.

For days now, he'd had his assistant deliver gifts by the dozen, but this woman? She didn't even spare them a glance.

He simply couldn't believe it-how could one little starlet be so hard to win over?

"Now I'm determined," he announced, waving over his companions. "Magnus, Sammy, come here and eat with us."

Nanette had never met a man so shameless.

"Are you out of your mind? Didn't you hear me? Just looking at your face ruins my appetite."

Scales, humiliated in front of a crowd by a woman's blunt words, clenched his jaw. "You'd better remember this. Next time you're in my bed, you'll be screaming my name even louder."

Isadora and Nanette were eating quietly in a secluded booth, a wooden screen shielding them from most of the restaurant. But with the commotion growing louder, people began to recognize Nanette-the famous actress-and soon the curious crowd was raising their phones to snap photos.

Worried that Nanette would be swept up in another scandal just as the last rumor had finally died down, Isadora gently tugged her sleeve.

A low, chilly voice sounded from nearby.

Scales waved. "Magnus! Over here! Isadora's here too. Looks like there's one girl for each of us tonight!"
