Forbidden Passion

Chapter 676 I Won't Let Anyone Bully You

Theodore was seriously ticked off, staring at Milton like he was already six feet under. He smirked, "Mr. Douglas, always the ladies' man, huh? So thoughtful of everyone." Milton gave a small smile, "Mr. Reynolds, you're too kind. Ms. Ziegler, ready to go?"

Phoebe nodded slightly. Just as she was about to walk past Theodore and Milton, Theodore suddenly grabbed her wrist, his hand burning hot like it might actually scorch her skin. Phoebe instinctively tried to pull away, but he held on tight, making it impossible for her to move. She glared at him and snapped, "Mr. Reynolds, let go!"

Theodore frowned, looking annoyed, "Where are you going?"

For some reason, the more Theodore looked at Milton, the more he couldn't stand him. He'd never found Milton this irritating when they worked together before. Milton glanced at Theodore and raised an eyebrow, "Ms. Ziegler invited me to dinner. Care to join us, Mr. Reynolds?"

Before Phoebe could say no, Theodore quickly answered, "Sure, if you don't mind."

Phoebe was speechless.

"Of course not. It'd be an honor to have dinner with Mr. Reynolds." Milton looked at Theodore's big hand on Phoebe's wrist with a calm, deep gaze. "Shall we?" Theodore glanced at Phoebe, his fingers lightly squeezing her wrist before letting go.

A jolt of electricity seemed to run through her wrist, making Phoebe stiffen. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Theodore in his sharp suit, tall and slender.

Theodore noticed her shocked and reproachful look. He smirked and walked over to Milton, "Let's go, Mr. Douglas."

Milton looked at Phoebe and then walked alongside Theodore. The two seemed to have forgotten the earlier tension and were chatting happily.
