Chapter 447 Too Close for Comfort

Does this man even realize how good his body looks?

Victor: “Hm?”

Tessa: “A man and a woman alone in a room… Mind the optics.”

Victor’s lips curled into a faint smile. “You? Telling me to mind the optics?”

Tessa: “W–What’s that supposed to mean?”

Just because she was under his roof, didn’t mean she couldn’t have some boundaries, right?

Victor chuckled. “Didn’t see you worried about optics before.”

What did he mean by that? What “before“?

Before Tessa could wrap her head around the implication, Victor continued, “Remember what you did at the villa?”

Tessa’s mouth twitched.

Her mind flashed to the moment she had lost her balance that day and instinctively grabbed onto–yeah, that spot. Even though it had been days since, just hearing him bring it up sent a jolt through her entire body.

Seeing her looking all flustered and blank, Victor’s smile deepened. “And when you pulled off my towel…”

“Stop!”

Tessa darted forward and slapped her hand over Victor’s mouth. She couldn’t let him keep going.

Did he even hear what he was saying?

If he said anything else, there’d be no salvaging whatever was left between them.

They were standing way too close now. Their warm breaths tangled together in the narrow space.

Victor suddenly wrapped an arm around her slender waist. She looked petite, but her body was actually soft and curvy.

His hand landed on her waist and instinctively gave a squeeze.

Tessa snapped back to reality–only to realize she had somehow leapt into Victor’s arms.

Oh god. She’d done something stupid. Again.

Why did she keep doing stupid things in front of him? She didn’t used to be this dumb!

“L–Let go of me,” she stammered, her whole body overheating and out of balance.

When Victor didn’t let go, Tessa started to panic. “Where do you think you’re grabbing? Let go now!”

Even though she was terrified, she still gritted her teeth.

Victor looked at her like she was an angry little bunny.

His smile widened. “You’re the one who jumped into my arms. What are you mad about, hmm?”

Her face turned beet red.

She panted, “J–Just let go of me first!”

She was seriously worried that if this kept going, something would happen.

Wait. No. This man wasn’t even… functional?

Wait a second!

Tessa glanced down at her legs, her breath catching as she noticed… something wasn’t right.

It felt like a jolt of electricity. She launched herself off him on instinct.

When you’re spooked, you really do get superhuman strength.

Tessa bolted halfway across the room, her mind completely blank.

“You, you…

“What?”

What do you mean, what?!

Oh god… Was Stella’s gossip even reliable?

She froze for a second, then lost all nerve to look at Victor again. She spun around and ran out of the room.

She slammed the door behind her and locked herself in her own bedroom, trembling all over.

Meanwhile, Stella was at the hospital when her phone rang.

She answered, “What’s wrong, Bing’er?”

“Stella, your intel was wrong! Where did you even hear that from?!”

Stella: “Huh? What intel?”

She was totally confused by Tessa’s sudden outburst.

Tessa didn’t know Rianne was hurt yet. If she had, she wouldn’t be wasting time with Stella right now.

Tessa: “Victor.”

Stella: “Huh?”

Still not getting it.

There’d been so many rumors about Victor lately, she had no idea which one Tessa was referring to.

Tessa: “The one where you said he couldn’t, you know…”
