NovelFinishChapter 404 Victor leaned in, his lips brushing Isadora's ear. He caught her earlobe gently between his teeth, his voice low and impossibly seductive. "Be good. Lethear you call'darling."' His warm breath danced against her skin, sending a shiver straight through her. Just thinking about the way his lips had moved over her last night made her pulse race all over again.
If she stayed in his arms a second longer, Isadora was sure she'd completely lose her composure. She scrambled upright, disentangling herself in a hurry.
"I-I have to get to work! I'm going to be late!" * The Vaughan Group.
Once Isadora arrived at the office, her assistant, Inman, knocked and entered with his usual professional efficiency to go over her schedule.

Most of the questions will focus on the rumors sparked by your last press conference." Inman hesitated before continuing. "Pulse News has a massive national following, but they're also notorious for digging into personal lives and stirring up for ratings. I just want you to be prepared-they'll probably ask svery personal questions..." Isadora's phone chimed on the desk. She half-listened to Inman as she glanced at her messages.
Victor: Darling, what tdo you finish work tonight? Victor: I'll cpick you up, okay? Victor: And don't forget, you owesomething you didn't say this morning. Make it up totonight.
He was already checking when she'd be done and she'd barely started her day. Typical Victor.
Still, as Isadora's finger brushed over the screen, a small, helpless smile tugged at her lips.
"President Vaughan?" Inman paused, uncertain, seeing her distracted by her phone but clearly amused by whatever she'd read. He wondered if she'd heard a word he'd said.
Isadora quickly composed herself. "Carry on as planned." Inman hesitated, then nodded. All he could do was hope today's interview didn't spiral into another PR disaster.
Three o'clock arrived.
vel The Pulse News stuwas bright and spacious, the ceiling soaring high overhead. Rows of powerful spotlights lit the stage, and a handful of camera operators hovered at the edges, adjusting their angles. Nearly five hundred people filled the tiered seating, all eyes fixed on the stage.
Today's interview was being broadcast live.
Under the dazzling lights, Nicol, the anchor, took the microphone and began her introduction.

That's why we've invited Isadora here today to answer your questions directly." "Please welcthe CEO of The Vaughan Group, Isadora Vaughan!" The audience erupted in applause as Isadora appeared. She wore a classic Chanel suit, its tailored lines accentuating her slim waist, the skirt moving gracefully with each step. She crossed the stage with poise and sat opposite Nicol, exuding calm confidence.
Nicol greeted her with a polished, professional smile. "PresidentVaughan, thank you for joining us on Pulse News. Would you like to say a few words to everyone watching at hand here in the studio?" Turning slightly, Isadora faced the camera. "Hello, everyone. I'm Isadora Vaughan, CEO of The
Vaughan Group. I'm sorry that personal life has caused such alstir, and I'm kiere today to set the record straight." Nicol glanced at her notes, ready to dive into the trending topics. "Before we get
to the big question-who exactly is your boyfriend?—the audience has a few things they're dying to know." Of course, Nicol understood that Isadora was here to address the rumors directly, but dragging out the suspense was essential for ratings.
Isadora nodded. "Go ahead." "So, first-what kind of person is your boyfriend?"
