Forbidden Passion

Chapter 651 Destroyed Much of My Tenderness

She hit the intercom, "Lori, get in here."

Phoebe never believed in getting something for nothing. If something good did come her way, it was probably a trap. But the spot of special guest for the 12th episode was given to the artists from her company, and she really couldn't refuse. Lori strutted in, heels clicking like a metronome. She stood there, all business in her sharp outfit. "Ms. Ziegler."

Phoebe glanced up, "I need the guest and sponsor list for Extraordinary Entertainments' new show. Keep it on the down-low, got it?" Lori nodded, "On it."

Phoebe waved her off and went back to her paperwork. Lori's footsteps faded, and the door clicked shut.

A bit later, there was a knock. Phoebe didn't even look up, "Come in!"

The door flew open, and before she knew it, she was wrapped in a hug, a familiar scent filling the air.

Only one person smelled like that-Claire.

"Phoebe, why didn't you tell me you were back? I would've picked you up!" Claire pouted, clinging to her neck like a koala.

Phoebe tried to push her off but failed. She laughed, "Let go, are you trying to strangle me?"

Claire let go and perched on the armrest of Phoebe's chair, one hand still on her shoulder. "If it weren't for the trending news, I wouldn't have known you were back. You went to Noah's farewell concert but didn't come see me on set." A year ago, Hank's movie made over a billion, and the lead actors blew up. Claire, who played General Luna Hughes, nailed her role so hard that both she and her character became instant hits.

Hank's movies turning supporting actresses into stars was no joke.
