Forbidden Passion

Chapter 529 Some People Can't Be Missed

Phoebe and Theodore strolled past the secretary's desk, fingers intertwined. Carol, catching sight of their clasped hands, nearly knocked over her water cup in shock. She quickly stood up. "Mr. Reynolds, Ms. Ziegler."

Theodore, always the ice king in front of others, gave a slight nod without even glancing around and headed straight for the elevator.

Carol watched them go, then sneakily pulled out her phone to snap a pic of their retreating figures.

Once Phoebe and Theodore were in the elevator, Carol plopped back down. She checked the new employee group chat, which was already blowing up with messages.

That morning, Donovan had thrown a fit in the CEO's office, and now everyone was buzzing, betting that Phoebe was about to lose her spot.

The drama was juicy, and everyone was eating it up.

Phoebe was just a regular girl, and a lot of the female employees had a chip on their shoulder about her. Why did she get to marry into money while they were all stuck working? Carol anonymously dropped the photo in the group chat with a caption.

Carol: [Check out this lovey-dovey couple!]

The chat went dead silent.

The Reynolds Group was smack in the middle of the bustling financial district, right next to a mall and a pedestrian street lined with bubble tea shops.

The afternoon sun was blazing, and the pedestrian street was packed. Most of the bubble tea shops had lines out the door.

Theodore turned to Phoebe. "Which bubble tea do you want?" he asked, still holding her hand.

Phoebe tried to remember the bubble tea Donovan had bought. It seemed to be from the shop with the longest line.
