Forbidden Passion

Chapter 730 Am I Afraid of You?

Cindy looked at the gloating smile on Phoebe's face and gritted her teeth in anger. She pointed at Phoebe, saying, "Stop being so schadenfreude. I think your turn is coming soon." Phoebe's smile froze as she said, "Don't scare me."

"I'm scaring you on purpose," Cindy said, deliberately trying to frighten Phoebe.

The two were just joking around and quickly moved on from the topic. Lori came in with coffee, saying, "Ms. Croix, your coffee."

"Thank you. Lori, you're looking more and more beautiful. Do you have a boyfriend?" Cindy took a sip of the coffee, gave her a thumbs up, and praised, "The coffee at your company is also really good." Lori smiled and said, "It's the coffee machine Ms. Croix brought last time. Everyone in the company is praising you, Ms. Croix."

"So it's my credit," Cindy said.

After delivering the coffee, Lori left. Cindy was about to take another sip when her phone on the desk suddenly vibrated.

Seeing the caller ID, Cindy was shocked!

Phoebe noticed Cindy's dumb expression and leaned over to see the name on the screen. She said with a smile, "See, I told you. Answer it." However, Cindy held her cup and didn't answer.

The phone kept vibrating as if it wouldn't stop until Cindy picked up.

"Aren't you going to answer? Are you scared?" Phoebe raised an eyebrow and said.

Cindy couldn't resist the provocation. She put the coffee cup on the desk and said calmly, "I'll answer. I'm not scared."

She picked up the phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, taking a deep breath before saying, "What do you want?"

There was no response from the other end, only the sound of shallow breathing, making Cindy tense up involuntarily.
