Forbidden Passion

Chapter 14 Heartache

Phoebe was stunned by the impact, feeling the sharp edges of the folder grazing her temple. A stream of blood splattered into her eyes, causing intense pain.

Theodore's anger soared, "Phoebe, how did you become a broker? If it weren't for me quickly taking Vanessa away from the airport, do you have any ideaknow what cwould've happened to her?" Phoebe stood still, feeling that the physical pain she was experiencing was nothing compared to the pain in her heart, which was gradually intensifying.

Just now, at the airport, she saw him walking away with Vanessa, protecting her.

She thought that, both publicly and privately, he should do so.

Publicly, Vanessa is the leading lady of QUEEN Entertainment, and her safety is paramount. Privately, Vanessa is his first love, the person he cherishes most. Who else should he protect if not her? But why did she feel so sad watching him walk away with Vanessa in his arms without even looking back?

Vanessa sat on the couch, not expecting Theodore to become so angry. She saw Phoebe covered in blood and quickly stood up to shield Theodore's sight.

She exclaimed, "Miss Ziegler, you're bleeding!"

She hurriedly walked towards Phoebe, while blaming Theodore, "Theodore, you were too rough. How could you throw files at Miss Ziegler? Such a beautiful face, it would be a pity if it got scarredscared." Theodore's face was tense, obviously still angry, and he didn't even glance at Phoebe.

"Theodore really doesn't know how to cherish beauty. He wasn't like this before," Vanessa said gently, standing in front of Phoebe. "Miss Ziegler, let me help you clean up. You're bleeding, maybe I can accompany you to the medical room?" Phoebe instinctively took a step back, avoiding her hand. "No need to trouble, Miss Fitzroy. I'll go by myself later. It was my negligence today, and I won't let this happen again in the future."

"Don't say that. It's partly my fault for changing the schedule without notifying you. I just wanted to surprise Theodore, but little did I know he would come to pick me up in person."

Vanessa smiled tenderly. "He's still the same as before. Anything related to me, he will personally take care of before feeling at ease."

Phoebe suddenly raised her hand and wiped her eye corner. Vanessa looked at her bloody hand, but pretended not to see anything. "Let me accompany you to the medical room to treat the wound."
