Chapter 90

Victoria picked up the bottle. Sensing the shift in atmosphere, the others tactfully sat down, not daring to make a sound. She was the only one standing at the table. She poured the liquor into her glass, hoping to minimize the lingering burn in her mouth by downing it in one go. "Wait." Leon's voice interrupted her. Victoria paused mid-action and looked at him.

"What are you doing?" "I'm checking whether this is wine or just plain water." His fingers, warm against the cool rim of the glass, brushed against hers for the briefest moment. The sudden contact sent a jolt through her, and she reflexively let go. Everyone at the table witnessed the scene unfold. At that moment, a single thought crossed every executive's mind.
