Forbidden Passion

Chapter 698 Noah's Feelings

Vanessa was scrolling through the trending topics at Queen Entertainment, looking seriously pissed. "Madison, where the hell did you find these paid posters?" she snapped. Madison, standing by the desk, saw Vanessa's frustration and sighed. "Noah's fans have gotten a lot smarter since the last scandal. They're not falling for it."

"That's because you haven't hit them where it hurts," Vanessa said, slamming her hand on the table.

She had spent a fortune to get this scandal trending, but it was doing nothing.

Madison, looking worried, said, "Vanessa, Noah's fans don't care about his scandals. They think Phoebe is young and beautiful, and she's his boss. If they were together, the fans would be cool with it."

Vanessa's face twisted with anger. "I don't buy that fans are that selfless. Madison, dig up some dirt on Noah. I want him taken down."

Madison nodded, "Okay, I got it."

She turned and left the office.

Outside, the assistant gave Madison a worried look. Madison just waved her off and headed back to her own office.

Madison couldn't understand why Vanessa was so obsessed with Phoebe. Sure, Phoebe used to be Theodore's wife and was in Vanessa's way, but now that Phoebe and Theodore were divorced, why was Vanessa still gunning for her? Phoebe had just wrapped up the opening ceremony, and the director was signaling the main cast to get ready for promotional photos.

Alfonso came over and whispered, "Ms. Ziegler, you and Noah are trending again."

Phoebe narrowed her eyes.

Alfonso quickly handed her the phone. Phoebe swiped through the screen, taking in the situation.

She handed the phone back to Alfonso and said calmly, "Talk to the director. Let's release a set of promotional photos while this is trending. Might as well ride the wave." Alfonso was taken aback.

He thought Phoebe would be mad. After the hospital incident, they had been careful to keep Phoebe and Noah out of the spotlight together, afraid they'd trend again. "I'll get on it." Alfonso hurried off.

With some free time and no one paying attention to her, Phoebe wandered deeper into the campus to a familiar spot where she could chill. She ended up at the sports field.
