Forbidden Passion

Chapter 620 Coveted by Others

The next day, Phoebe rolled straight from Cindy's place to the office. The second she walked in, she felt something was off.

She grabbed a coworker to get the scoop and found out Milton from Venture Capital Firm was dropping by today. Raphael had everyone sprucing up their desks to impress this Milton guy. Back at her desk, Phoebe started thinking. Milton from Venture Capital Firm-wasn't he someone she knew?

Just as she sat down, Raphael called her into his office. She stood there while he looked up at her.

"Phoebe, how you holding up? Feeling any better?" Raphael asked, sounding all concerned.

"Yeah, doc said it's just some seasonal stomach bug. Meds should clear it up," Phoebe replied.

Raphael gave her a warm smile, "Good to hear. As long as it doesn't mess with your work. Oh, and I need you to help me entertain Mr. Douglas. We gotta make him feel at home." Phoebe really didn't want to see Milton. Seeing him would just bring back memories of Donovan's accident. She pressed her lips together.

Raphael noticed and frowned, "What's up?"

Phoebe pressed her lips again and said lightly, "Nothing, Mr. Upton. Do I need to prep any materials?"

"Nah, you're good. I'll call you when he gets here." Raphael waved her off.

Phoebe turned and left.

As she walked out of the general manager's office, she shut the door behind her and let out a long sigh. Working at Kedora meant dealing with these people sooner or later.

Especially since Raphael loved using her to butter up powerful men.
