EuropeNovelChapter 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 cin?" "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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat a shameless woman! Lana couldn't help herself-she marched right up to the stranger.
"Mister, are you with Isadora? Letwarn 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, sas 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." Like.
Standing behind him, Isadora felt her heart skip a beat at that single word. Lana was seething.
These men-all entranced by Isadora-were hopeless. No matter what she said, it was like talking to a brick wall.
"Seriously, what's wrong with you? Falling for trash like her. She's dirty-you're not afraid she'll give you something?" Victor's eyes darkened instantly, the temperature in the hallway dropping as his gaze turned glacial.
His voice, when it came, was cold as stone tumbling from an icy cliff.
"I don't hit women, but you're testing my patience." Lana turned pale at his words. She didn't even dare wait for the elevator and took the stairs instead, muttering under her breath.
Unbelievable.
He's gorgeous, sure, but what a sharp tongue-and a temper, too! Down in the parking garage, Isadora felt distracted, Victor's earlier words echoing in her mind.
She shook her head, telling herself not to take it seriously.

Victor-someone of his status-could have any woman he wanted. He was only interested in her body; after all, he'd basically said so himself, that they were... compatible.
Victor walked her toward her car, m noticing how lost in thought she seemed eyes fixed straight ahead.
Just as she was about to walk into a wall, he reached out and caught her gently around the waist. Isadora flinched, startled.
"Wh-what is it?" "You were about to run into the wall," Victor said, his voice casual.
She looked at the wall in front of her and mumbled, "Thank you." Victor raised his brows, half amused.
"Are you even in the right state of mind to drive?" She realized she was still in his arms, and quickly stepped back as another car drove past.
Isadora hesitated, then took a deep breath and spoke her mind.
"Victor, what happened last night was a mistake. We're both adults-Alet's just pretend it never happened." A dangerous glint flashed in Victor's eyes.
"So you're saying last night was just a one-night stand?"
