Forbidden Passion

Chapter 462 You Must Stand Up for Me

Phoebe came out after drying her hair, and the office was dead quiet. Theodore put out his cigarette and waved her over. "Come here." Phoebe hesitated but walked over and sat next to him.

He placed his hand on her neck, gently massaging her scalp. "Good, it's dry."

Phoebe and Vanessa were both stunned by his intimate gesture.

Phoebe felt a tingle on her scalp, her nerves on edge, and her mind went blank for a few seconds.

Vanessa couldn't believe Theodore's closeness to Phoebe. Something had definitely changed between them.

Panic hit Vanessa hard. She had to stop them from getting together.

Vanessa coughed loudly to get their attention. "Ms. Ziegler, I don't think I've ever wronged you. Why are you plotting against me?" Phoebe snapped back to reality, trying to ignore Theodore's hand on her head. "Ms. Fitzroy, I don't know what you're talking about."

Vanessa looked at Phoebe with jealousy and hatred. Why did Phoebe get all of Theodore's affection?

She put on a pitiful look. "I know Theodore gave Queen Entertainment to me, and you're not happy about it. But causing trouble behind my back isn't fair." Phoebe squinted her eyes, realizing that Vanessa was trying to make Theodore resent her with these accusations. It was quite a sly move.

Theodore's fingers stopped massaging her head, and Phoebe felt a sense of relief. Vanessa's tactic was simple but effective on Theodore.
