Chapter 313

Still half-asleep, Victoria was jolted awake by a few sharp taps on her office window.

"Victoria. My office, now."

Violet didn't wait for a response, just turned and walked away, leaving Victoria no choice but to stand up and follow, her steps a little unsteady.

That man was just too much—she'd already decided there was no way she'd go to him again tonight. She needed a proper night's sleep.

When she entered Violet's office, Violet said coolly, "Close the door."

Victoria didn't budge. "If you have something to say, Ms. Marchand, just say it. There's nothing here that others can't hear."

All this secrecy-she could already imagine the office rumor mill going into overdrive.
