Forbidden Passion

Chapter 450 There Is No Man I Can't Get

Phoebe's head bumped into Theodore's solid muscles, and she felt a surge of anger, especially with everyone in the car watching. If they hyped it up, she'd be the one embarrassed.

Theodore said coldly, "I know you would get car sick. Stay put, I'll sit in the back."

He walked past her to the back of the bus and took Violet's seat, leaving the troupe stunned.

Violet saw Theodore sitting next to her colleague and felt a pang of jealousy. All her efforts to stir things up had gone to waste, leaving her seething with fury. Phoebe glanced at Violet and saw her twisted expression. She thought, 'No matter how beautiful a woman is, once desire fills her eyes, she becomes ugly.' Just as she sat down, Orlando got on the bus. "Is everyone here? If so, let's get going. Violet, why aren't you in your seat? We're about to leave."

Violet bit her lip and sat next to Phoebe.

Orlando noticed Violet sitting in Theodore's seat and whispered, "This is Mr. Reynolds' seat. You should move to the back."

Violet flipped her hair and said flirtatiously, "Mr. Reynolds was worried I'd get car sick, so he graciously offered me this seat."

Orlando was surprised and looked at the back seat, where Theodore was indeed sitting in Violet's spot. He felt a pang of sympathy for Phoebe.

He thought, 'Is Phoebe falling out of favor?'

Orlando counted the people, confirmed everyone was present, and signaled the driver to start the bus. He glanced at Theodore, who had his eyes closed, resting. Then he looked at Phoebe, who was gazing out the window.

Orlando scratched his nearly bald head, wondering if the two had a falling out.

Sitting in Theodore's seat, Violet sneakily eyed Phoebe. Phoebe's looks were kinda fragile, and if she could catch Theodore's eye, then Violet sure as heck could too.
