The oppressive mood that had weighed on him ever since he'd accidentally overheard Jessie Sterling's conversation with Lynn Jennings finally eased, just a little, in that moment.
Jessie Sterling was nearly stunned speechless by the accusation in her ear. Her mind went blank, and she asked dazedly, "Huh?"
'How was I bullying Victor Morgan?'
'From the looks of it, isn't it more like *he's* bullying *me*?'
'Isn't he just turning the tables on me?'
More frustrating to Victor Morgan than a direct confrontation was his wife's complete obliviousness.
Realizing Jessie Sterling had no idea what he was talking about, Victor Morgan couldn't help but open his mouth again. As if venting his frustration, he bit down hard on her lower lip in a forceful kiss.
"You're so dense," he said.
Jessie Sterling yelped in pain and pinched the man's waist.
Victor Morgan: "..."
'She just can't stand being on the losing end, can she?'
