Mind the optics." Victor's lips curled into a faint smile. "You? Tellingto 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 sboundaries, right? Victor chuckled. "Didn't see you worried about optics before." What did he mean by that? What "before"?

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.

His smile widened. "You're the one who jumped into my arms. What are you mad about, hmm?” Her face turned beet red.

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.

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: "Victor." Stella: "Huh?" Still not getting it.
There'd been so many rumors about Victor lately, she had no idea which е ope Tessa was referring to. Tessa: "The one where you said he couldn't, you know..." That one...
Wrong? So... "He can?" Tessa: "Obviously!" Stella: "You tested it?"
Peeking through the small window on the hospital room door, Stella m lowered her voice. Eddie was inside doing a checkup on Rianne.
Victor's situation wasn't just her own suspicion-it was basically common knowledge at this point Even the guys around him were skeptical. One time, Lewis even snuck a woman into his room. Victor had thrown her out in under a minute.
