Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 70

Magnus finally looked up, his gaze cold and impatient. He stared at her for a second, then promptly looked away.

That single glance took Lana’s breath away.

This was exactly her type—the brooding, impossibly aloof CEO straight out of a fantasy.

She gathered her courage and tried again, her voice soft and flirtatious.

“Mister, care to come in?”

“Get lost.”

His voice was sharp and icy, echoing down the corridor.

Lana’s cheeks flushed a deep red, as if she’d been slapped in public.

All she could do was retreat awkwardly into her apartment.

She stewed in her embarrassment all night, still fuming the next morning. But as soon as she stepped out the door, she was shocked to see another man leaving Isadora’s apartment.

What a shameless woman!

Lana couldn’t help herself—she marched right up to the stranger.

“Mister, are you with Isadora? Let me warn you, there was already a guy hanging around her place last night. Don’t let her pretty face fool you—she’s not as innocent as she seems.”

Meanwhile, Isadora found her phone and headed for the door, only to hear Lana outside gossiping to Victor—smearing her name.

Isadora was about to defend herself when she heard Victor’s deep, lazy voice.

“Oh, really?”

He glanced at Lana, not bothering to hide his disinterest—even a hint of contempt flickered in his eyes.

Lana thought he was taking her seriously. After all, what man would tolerate being two-timed?

She nodded vigorously.

“Yes, really! That guy last night? Bet he was just another one of her victims, same as you. They went at it in the hallway—hugging, kissing, the whole show.”

Victor let out a cold chuckle, the smile never reaching his eyes.

“Two men in one night? That’s still better than not having any company at all, wouldn’t you say?”

Lana’s face twisted in disbelief.

“What is wrong with you? I’m just trying to warn you, so you don’t end up the fool. She’ll turn you into a laughing-stock and you won’t even know it.”

Victor lifted his eyelids lazily, his tone utterly unconcerned.

“I like her. In fact, I like it when she tricks me.”
