Chapter 281

Magnus's car was parked not far away.

He'd heard Isadora's voice at the meeting earlier that day, and an impulse he couldn't explain had drawn him to The Vaughan Group's headquarters. He hadn't intended to approach her-just to be nearby, to catch a glimpse of her from a safe distance.
