Forbidden Passion
Chapter 245 Undercurrents of Tension

Vanessa walked out of the director's office, feeling frustrated. She was initially planning to play a trick on Phoebe but ended up harming herself instead.

Now she was standing in front of the elevator, contemplating whether she should go up and explain to Theodore.

But what if Phoebe was just bluffing?

If she went to explain to Theodore, she would only be exposing herself.

"Stay calm. I need to stay calm," Vanessa murmurs to herself. Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder, startling her. She blurted out, "Who is it? Are you trying to scare me?" Madison didn't expect Vanessa to get angry and cowered against the wall like a quail. "Vanessa, I'm sorry. Did I scare you?"

Vanessa realized that it was Madison and her anger subsided a little. She shook her hand and said, "It's fine. I'm in a bad mood. I didn't scare you just now, did I?"

Madison shook her head, "Vanessa, why are you in a bad mood? Did Phoebe give you trouble again?"

Vanessa knew that Madison didn't like Phoebe, and as long as she showed even a little dissatisfaction toward her, Madison would run off to cause trouble for Phoebe like a sparkler.

Of course, Madison wasn't trying to defend Vanessa, but she finally found a reason to take out her frustration.

So, Vanessa put on a submissive front and said, "No, it's just that I'm feeling really unwell today. Miss Ziegler even forced me to attend an acting class. I know the company has invested a lot of money in me, and she's eager to make a profit to show Theodore. I can understand her."

As soon as Madison heard this, she exploded, "Has she lost her mind? She has no talent herself and she's still forcing you to perform while you're sick. She's gone crazy for money!"

Vanessa smiled bitterly. "Well, this is how I make a living under her."

Madison was furious. "Vanessa, wait for me. I'll go talk to her and demand an explanation. She can't bully people like this with her power."

"Ah, don't go..." Vanessa pretended to pull her back but failed to catch her. She watched Madison run into the supervisor's office with a faint smile on her face.

Madison's temper really satisfied her. She would explode at the slightest provocation, and the best part was that she always sided with her and gave Phoebe a headache.

Madison stormed into the supervisor's office, causing the door to bang against the wall and startled Phoebe.

Phoebe looked up and saw Madison barging in without any manners. She frowned slightly."Miss Reynolds, has no one ever told you to knock before entering your superior's office?" "Don't use that tone with me. If it weren't for my big brother, would you be sitting in this office and showing off to me?" Madison's face was filled with anger.

Phoebe put down her pen and crossed her arms, staring at her. "I sit in this position based on my abilities. If Miss Reynolds has any complaints, feel free to talk to your big brother."

"Huh, I don't know what you've said to my big brother. He actually lets you manage QUEEN Entertainment and makes his beloved woman subject to your control."

Phoebe squinted her eyes and finally understood what was going on. It turned out this grumpy woman was being used as a weapon by Vanessa to defend her. Phoebe was stunned by her foolishness. Seeing Phoebe silent, Madison continued, "Vanessa isn't feeling well, and you still make her come to work. When my big brother finds out how you bully her, let's see how he will deal with you." "Oh, I'm so scared." Phoebe made a frightened expression, but she wasn't afraid at all. Theodore was not as brainless as Madison.
