Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 408

This man acted as if he wasn't bothered in the slightest.

He leaned in close—far too familiar, as if they were alone together and not being watched by hundreds.

Isadora bit her lip, gathering her composure. "Today's interview is just to clear up the rumors from the press conference," she explained.

That's why she hadn't mentioned it to him.

She hadn't expected the conversation to take such a turn.

Victor's presence was overwhelming. Isadora couldn't help but edge away from him, muttering under her breath, "You're the one who showed up—bold as anything."

Victor chuckled, his tone a careful blend of sincerity and jest.

"Looks like I still don't have any official status, huh? Well, I guess I'll have to fight for it myself."

What was he even talking about? Isadora rolled her eyes at him, exasperated.

Nicol, standing nearby, looked mortified. He cleared his throat and tried to steer the interview back on track.

"Mr. Victor Fitzgerald, welcome. Are you here today because of President Vaughan?"

Victor lifted his gaze lazily, a crooked smile playing on his lips. "Why else? Did you think I came for you?"
