Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 320

Isadora finally had a free afternoon, so she joined him at a business management forum.

They had just finished listening to a keynote by a celebrated CEO.

Sitting beside her, Terrell Fawcett handed Isadora a glass of warm water. "Take a break-here, have some water."

“Thank you,” she replied, accepting the glass and taking a sip.

"I picked up a lot of practical ideas today about management styles," Isadora remarked. "It's been really useful."

Terrell watched her in profile, a gentle smile playing at his lips. "Not many women are as eager to learn as you."

She turned, raising an eyebrow. "Really? So what are the women you know like?"

With a touch of meaning, Terrell teased, "Women ought to let men pamper them. Working yourself too hard isn't good."

Isadora grinned. "I don't really have a choice, do I? I can't very well let The Vaughan Group go down the drain on my watch."
