The very instant Jessie Sterling heard the phone start to ring, Victor Morgan picked up on the other end.
"Hello, Jessie."
Victor Morgan's deep, cool voice came from the other end of the line. If you weren't listening carefully, you would miss the faint, almost imperceptible trace of anxiety and annoyance mixed within it.
The anxiety was naturally because of Jessie, but the annoyance…
Victor had heard Brianna Hudson's name before, but he'd never paid it any mind. To him, a good-for-nothing rich brat who had accomplished nothing wasn't even worth remembering.
But today, the name "Brianna Hudson" had made quite an impression on him.
"Are you hurt?"
That was Victor's second question.
A sweet feeling bloomed in Jessie's heart. The fact that Victor had answered her call instantly made her feel as if he had been sitting by his phone, just waiting for her to call.
'Who doesn't want to be favored and cared for?'
At that thought, Jessie couldn't help but smile.
