Forbidden Passion

Chapter 238 A Balancing Act: Struggles and Sacrifices

Phoebe was still extremely busy, trying to secure more resources for the artists in her company. She had to navigate between major brands and film companies every day. Previously, she had been Theodore's personal secretary, accompanying him to various parties and never once being forced to drink.

Now that she was in charge herself, she had to go to great lengths to secure better resources. Most businessmen she dealt with weren't gentlemen, but rather wolves.

Phoebe could easily fend off those with ill intentions by mentioning that she was Theodore's wife, but she didn't want to rely on that. She wanted to prove herself and elevate QUEEN Entertainment to greater heights through her own abilities. Luckily, John was clever and constantly shielded her from unwanted advances and excessive drinking. Phoebe only then realized that he had an astonishingly high alcohol tolerance and could handle his liquor.

But even someone who could hold their liquor had their limits. If someone intentionally made things difficult, no one could withstand the mix of red wine, white wine, and beer.
