Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 419

Isadora noticed the office door handle turning. Into her phone, she said, "Mom, I'll call you back later."

Without waiting for a reply, she hung up.

There was a soft click as the door opened from the outside. A tall, broad- shouldered man entered, his footsteps quiet and deliberate.

Isadora set her phone aside and stood up, her clear, luminous eyes meeting Victor's. "Done with your meeting?"

She glanced him over quickly. His handsome face was composed, revealing nothing amiss.

Relief washed over her-he probably hadn't heard anything from her phone call.

Victor's dark eyes lingered on her, something unreadable flickering in their depths so quickly it was gone before she could catch it.
