Forbidden Passion

Chapter 699 I Don't Have a Lover

That afternoon, the official Facebook page of "Spring Island" dropped a photo with a still from the show, and fans went wild, sharing it everywhere. Pretty soon, the post shot up to the top of the trending list.

The gossip about the two of them started to die down and eventually vanished. When Phoebe checked Facebook again, all she saw was Noah's gorgeous face in the official stills.

When Phoebe got back to the office, Lori rushed over and whispered, "Ms. Ziegler, Mr. Reynolds is here. He's in the conference room, and he looks kinda tense." Phoebe was taken aback for a moment.

Usually, when Theodore came by, he'd head straight to her office without any fuss. Now, he was waiting for her in the conference room. What was up with that? "Got it," Phoebe said, heading towards the conference room.

Phoebe stood at the conference room door. After a few seconds, she pulled herself together and pushed the door open. Theodore was sitting quietly at the oval conference table with a cup of coffee in front of him. Hearing the door, Theodore turned his head, his eyes locking onto Phoebe. His narrow eyes had a scrutinizing look, making his expression hard to read.

Phoebe walked in slowly and said with a slight smile, "What brings you here, Mr. Reynolds?"

"Did you go back to Kedora High School today?" Theodore's tone was super calm, like he was asking about the weather, giving no hint of his emotions.

Phoebe didn't want to seem like a subordinate getting scolded. She walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down casually, saying, "Yeah, I visited my old school." "With Noah?"

Phoebe squinted her eyes and said, confused, "Who I go with isn't really your business, Mr. Reynolds. If you have time, why not spend it with your girlfriend?" "I don't have a girlfriend."

"Then why not spend time with your lover?" Phoebe threw out another question.

"I don't have a lover either."

Phoebe was speechless. After a long pause, she said, "So, Mr. Reynolds, is it fun coming here all by yourself?"

Theodore took a sip of his coffee and frowned slightly. He handed the cup over and said with a blank expression, "Could you get me a hot cup of coffee?" Phoebe stayed seated, saying, "I'm not your secretary. I don't have to serve you."
