Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 398

"Ah-!"

The next morning.

Isadora was jolted awake by the shrill ring of her phone.

Half-asleep, she fumbled to answer.

On the other end, Inman was reporting in.

"President Vaughan, the rumors about you and Mr. Fawcett from The Fawcett Group have gone absolutely viral online. It's... seriously affecting the company's operations. Since yesterday, nearly a hundred journalists have been trying to land an exclusive interview with you."

At those words, Isadora's drowsiness vanished in an instant. She sat up straight in bed.

She'd only revealed half the truth at yesterday's press conference before walking out.

That had sparked all sorts of gossip about her and Terrell.

But she hadn't expected it to explode like this overnight.

Inman sounded nervous. "It's... it's The Fawcett Group. They confirmed it."

Isadora immediately unlocked her phone and scrolled through the trending headlines.
