Forbidden Passion

Chapter 717 Holding Her Hand Under the Clothes

The car drove into Todi Stadium and stopped at the entrance. Stanley got out first, followed closely by Phoebe, who noticed several other cars arriving behind them out of the corner of her eye. Today's screening event also invited media reporters to take photos at the entrance. As soon as Stanley and Phoebe got out of the car, they became the focus of the media's cameras. Stanley raised his arm, and Phoebe placed her hand on his arm and smiled at the cameras as the flashbulbs went off.

After the photos were taken, Stanley and Phoebe walked down the red carpet. The main hall of Todi Stadium could accommodate two thousand viewers, but today's screening was arranged in a smaller hall. As soon as they entered, a hostess came over to guide them.

When they arrived at the smaller hall, there weren't many invited guests yet. They were scattered around, chatting in small groups, indicating that Stanley and Phoebe had arrived relatively early. The venue was elegantly decorated, creating a relatively comfortable viewing area.

On stage, there was a podium and a large screen, which was currently playing soothing light music, making the atmosphere pleasant.

Stanley had been in the industry longer than Phoebe, and when acquaintances saw him, they immediately came over to greet him. Stanley took the opportunity to introduce Phoebe.

This acquaintance then took Stanley and Phoebe around the smaller hall, introducing them to almost all the important people present.

By the time they had made the rounds, it was seven o'clock, and Phoebe noticed that the smaller hall had filled up with guests at some point.

Looking around, she saw well-dressed guests everywhere and spotted Theodore in the crowd.

Theodore, dressed in a simple black suit and white shirt, stood out among the crowd. Noticing Phoebe's gaze, he raised his glass to her in a toast.

Theodore's abrupt gesture drew the attention of those around him, and everyone turned to look at her, making Phoebe want to strangle him on the spot.

The man next to Theodore said something to him, and Theodore casually beckoned Phoebe over with a finger, as if calling her to come over.

With so many people watching, Phoebe couldn't refuse Theodore's gesture. She told Stanley, and he followed her over.
