Chapter 294

Stein's eyes were gentle and calm. "Don't put anyone on a pedestal, Vicky. I'll be fine."

Victoria couldn't share Stein's ease-she knew exactly what McNeil was capable

Her hands trembled around her teacup, tears falling onto her skin, clear and bright.

"Is this because of the V&S Group? Are we dragging you into this?"

"It's not your fault. This is an internal issue."

"Since you're here, why not relax for a few days? I'll show you around."

"Stein, you know I'm not here for a vacation. Tomorrow I'm planning to see Osborn."

He nodded in understanding. "Alright."
