Chapter 517 She Made His Heart Ache

Phoebe was completely thrown off by Theodore's intense gaze. She was eager to see if her skills could earn his approval. Like anyone else, she craved some recognition from him. Theodore snapped, "Don't even think about it." Phoebe just went, "Oh."

Seeing her like that made Theodore mad. He took a long drag from his cigarette and blew out a thick smoke ring.

Theodore warned, "You just stick by my side and don't go anywhere."

With that bossy tone, it was clear Theodore wasn't fazed by anything.

"Since you're okay, I'll go get some work done." Phoebe turned to leave, but Theodore suddenly grabbed her wrist and yanked her back.

Theodore asked, "Where were you this morning?"

Phoebe licked her lips, scared to mention Cindy, worried Theodore would remember how she and Cindy teamed up to beat him last night. She cautiously said, "Would you believe me if I said I got lost?" Theodore gave her a cold stare, making it clear he wasn't buying any of it.

Phoebe sneaked a glance at the bite mark on Theodore's earlobe, her tongue pressing against her teeth. She guiltily looked away.

Her look seemed to remind Theodore of something. He rubbed her wrist artery with his thumb and said, "Seems like someone called me a scumbag last night."

Phoebe never thought Theodore would remember and plan to settle the score after the whole morning had passed.

She asked, dejected, "Really? Who's that bold?"

Theodore looked at her quietly. "What do you think?"
