Forbidden Passion

Chapter 400 An Intimate Kiss

Phoebe was shocked, almost thinking she was imagining things. She even held her breath for a moment. After Theodore's affectionate words, he felt shy, cleared his throat, and didn't say more.

"Charge is over. I'm ready again," Theodore said.

When Theodore let go, Phoebe felt a bit lost. She saw him stepping over broken porcelain pieces.

Those were antiques.

Phoebe remembered when she first joined the CEO's office and went to an auction with Theodore. She had really liked those antiques. They paid three million dollars after several bids. She was devastated. If Theodore had asked, she would have said no.

Porcelain is fragile, just like their marriage.

Phoebe stood still for a few seconds, then went to get a broom.

Carol saw Phoebe with the broom and quickly took it from her. "Ms. Ziegler, let me do it."

"It's okay." Phoebe felt down. She waved her hand and walked past Carol.

Theodore was behind his desk. He looked up at Phoebe, who was cleaning the broken pieces, and said, "I remember you liked this antique." Theodore remembered Phoebe being surprised. She said, "It's broken now. I'm just sad about the three million dollars."

She was more than a bit sad.

With her salary, it would take years to earn three million dollars. And now it was broken.

Rich people were so unpredictable!

Most of her lipstick had been eaten by Theodore, with some smudged around her lips. She looked like she had been ravaged. Phoebe patted her cheeks, quickly wiped off the lipstick, reapplied her makeup, and only went out when
