Forbidden Passion

Chapter 688 Everything Exists in Dreams

In front of the elevator, Theodore had Ollie in one arm and a cat toy in the other, looking all fancy and out of place. He watched the elevator doors close, his fingers twitching a bit. He kept wanting to ask Phoebe if she could come up and hang out for a bit.

But in the end, he bit his tongue. He had to be patient; he couldn't mess up the trust Phoebe had started to give him again.

A creaking sound snapped Theodore back to reality. He saw a red Ferrari pull up in front of him, and his brows knitted together.

With a blank face, Theodore asked, "What are you doing here?"

Sandra could tell he wasn't thrilled to see her, but she was used to it after two years.

She got out of the car and stood in front of him, all poised. "I just got back from abroad and came to see you right away. If you're this cold, I'll be hurt."

Theodore ignored her and walked towards the elevator with Ollie.

Sandra hurried to catch up. "Theodore, I heard you're going to the fashion gala tomorrow night. How about I go with you?"

"No need, I have a date," Theodore shot back.

Sandra's brows furrowed. She had rushed back just to go to the gala with him. Who had beaten her to it?

Standing next to him, waiting for the elevator, she asked, "Is it Miss Fitzroy?"

Theodore, still blank-faced, said, "No."

"Then who?" Sandra's mind raced. She looked up at him. "Don't tell me it's Ms. Ziegler."

Theodore didn't hide anything. "Sandra, stop coming around. I don't want any misunderstandings."

Sandra sneered, "You weren't this cold when you slept with me, Theodore. Have you forgotten how that night..."
