There are few people in the world that can pull on the heartstrings of Nathan Prescott. He wasn't exactly a kind person. He wasn't the type of person to feel strongly about other people. But Victoria was different. Nathan felt a frown tug at his lips. She had been sending photos to galleries and getting rejected. She was worried about the contest. He bites his tongue. He doesn't want to piss her off. But he really did not want her to win.
The idea of Victoria spending any time alone with Jefferson made him feel sick to his stomach. She reminded him of himself. Enamored with him. Spellbound. Vulnerable. She wasn't his type, he told himself. But that didn't stop the man from throwing her name around any time he sensed any hesitation from Nathan. The idea of it kept him up at night. Well... it was one of the many things. All centered around Jefferson lately.
"You've got a lot of skill, Vic." He didn't want to think of her in the dark room. Like Rachel. he didn't want her alone with Mark. He prayed someone else would win the contest, even if it would burn her. She didn't need Jefferson and his shitty contest to make it. "You'll get there. You work harder than anyone else." She was only of the only people Nathan would try to comfort.
"This contest is like... Not nearly as big of a deal as they act like it is. Don't stress about it." He doubted Jefferson would pick the most skilled. Pretty much every guy was out of the running. Probably wouldn't pick Kate since he already had her. He would probably pick someone like Max or Stella. At least he wouldn't make Nathan do anything. Still, it would be a good idea to have a plan if Victoria got picked. Maybe discretely giving her something to make her sick or miss the flight if she did win. She'd be upset but... Whatever. Why was he even worrying about this? Mark didn't want to do anything to her, right?
"You're skilled and fucking hot. You'll make it even if Jefferson picks someone else." He stops himself from making a comment about his tastes. He didn't want to invite questions.
