Chapter 415 Apologies and Aftershocks


    And then this had to happen tonight.


    Victor looked down at her<b>, </b>standing there like a little quail<b>. </b>

    He couldn’t <b>see </b>her <b>face</b>, only the top of her head, and the way she stood there<b>–</b>so timid and apologetic<b>–</b><b>was </b>oddly obedient.


    The corners of his mouth curved faintly. “What are you sorry for?”


    Tessa blurted out, “For stripping off your towel.”


    Silence crashed down around them.


    <b>Tessa’s </b>brain froze again.


    Oh no<b>–</b>Ste had specifically told her not to mention that. Just admit you were wrong and leave it at that!


    The pressure in Victor’s presence made it impossible to ignore him. “I- I didn’t mean it like that.”


    “Oh?” Victor’s voice was icy. “Then what did you mean?”


    “I didn’t do it on purpose<b>.” </b>


    She really hadn’t.


    Victor’s footsteps thudded against the floor as he walked down, each step pounding against her chest.


    He stopped right in front of her and lifted her chin with his long, defined fingers.


    <b>Tessa’s </b>insides were trembling.


    “M–Mr. Victor, here’s your water.”


    She nervously offered the now half–full ss.


    But her mind was still reying the earlier scene in vivid detail.


    Right now, she wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and bury herself in it. How stupid could she possibly be?


    Turning around and identally yanking someone’s towel off?


    <i>Seriously</i>?


    She held the ss out.


    Victor didn’t take it.


    Instead, his grip on her chin tightened slightly. “What did you see just now?”


    Everything-


    “I saw, uh-”


    Wait. She couldn’t say that. Definitely not.


    She immediately shook her head. “I didn’t <b>see </b>anything.”


    <b><i>Not </i></b><i>good </i><b><i>enough</i></b>.


    His sharp gaze pierced her like a de, and Tessa quickly added, “Nothing at all.”


    But she had seen something.


    And honestly, how could anyone say he was not functional? That didn’t look like someone who had issues in that department.


    If he really had a problem, then what a waste of—

    The theagh we abrupul on off as Victor said coldly. “Te that so?”


    Trese nodded. Yes, I swear I didn’t see anything. You’re still pure as ever


    But she wasn’t pure anymore, was she?


    Bedaren her, and she’d seen him….


    Victor let out a low scoff, released her chin, and finally took the ss from her hand before heading back upstairs.
