She had hidden it well before. Even though she was scared, she had still dared to give Julian Grant an earful.
"Are you at home or out right now?" Victor Morgan asked.
"At home..." Jessie lowered her head, her voice low.
"How about a video call?" Victor's voice was as calm and composed as ever, a sound that was inherently reassuring. "I'm a little worried."
"...Okay," Jessie said.
Once Jessie answered the video call, Victor looked at her surroundings and said, "Why haven't you gone back inside? It's getting a little chilly out. Don't catch a cold."
Jessie was still on the swing. "Well, you called me, didn't you? I haven't had a chance to go back yet."
"Then how about we talk while you walk back?" Victor asked.
Jessie did as he said and started walking toward her room.
"Did you have a good time with your friend today?" Instead of pressing Jessie about what had happened, Victor asked about her outing with Lynn Jennings.
