Forbidden Passion

Chapter 466 Who Let Mr. Reynolds Spoil You

Grace was on the floor, trying to pick up the tray, feeling humiliated. Suddenly, a swollen hand grabbed the tray before she could. Startled, Grace looked up and saw a familiar, beautiful face.

Phoebe tossed the tray into the recycling bin, grabbed some napkins, and handed them to Grace. "Wipe yourself off," she said softly. Grace took the napkins and whispered, "Thanks."

Phoebe noticed Grace's eyes, which looked a lot like Theodore's, and was a bit surprised. It was rare to see such a resemblance.

"Come on, get up. The floor's cold," Phoebe said, extending her hand to Grace, who hesitated, eyeing her hand.

Phoebe smiled. "Does my hand look scary? It's just a little frostbite from the chilly northern weather."

Grace saw Phoebe's calm expression, not embarrassed at all. "I have some good ointment for frostbite at home. I'll bring it tomorrow," Grace offered. "Thanks," Phoebe replied.

Phoebe helped Grace up. "When I was at your place for dinner, I heard you were in school. Why are you working now?"

Grace was surprised Phoebe remembered. "My mom's sick. I need money."

Phoebe raised an eyebrow. "Got it. Which department are you in now?"

"I just signed with Queen Entertainment. Ms. Ziegler, can you help me? I really need the money," Grace pleaded, holding Phoebe's hand.

Grace had heard Queen Entertainment had great prospects and that Phoebe had recently made Noah and Claire famous. She hoped Phoebe would notice her and help her rise to fame quickly to pay for her mom's treatment.

After signing the contract, Grace discovered that Vanessa was the new talent director, and Phoebe had been relocated to the Reynolds Group headquarters a week prior. Despite her regrets, Grace had no choice but to press on anxiously. Phoebe looked her over. Grace had an exceptional appearance, and with the right grooming, she could attract a lot of fans just with her looks.
