Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 406

Victor lifted his gaze coolly, casting Rankin a sideways glance. His tone was casual, almost bored. "Are you trying to teach me how to do my job now?"

The chill in Victor's eyes sent a shiver crawling up Rankin's spine, goosebumps prickling across his skin.

He dropped his head, voice barely above a whisper. "Mr. Fitzgerald, I... that's not what I meant. It's just... this is a really big deal."

Suddenly, Victor's phone buzzed on the table, breaking the tension.

He shot Rankin another icy look before picking up the phone.

A message from Finley Pembroke—he'd sent a live interview clip.

Victor tapped it open, and his brows immediately knit together in a deep frown.

Without another word, he stood up, all patience from their earlier conversation gone. His orders came swift and cold.

"In thirty minutes, I want a statement on The Fitzgerald Group's website announcing my wedding date with Isadora. If not, the only announcement will be your resignation."

He grabbed his suit jacket from the back of his chair and strode out, not sparing Rankin a second glance.

Rankin stood frozen, staring helplessly at Victor's retreating figure, his heart sinking.
