Forbidden Passion
Chapter 77 Dinner with Destiny.

Phoebe turned around and saw this scene on Theodore's phone. She gritted her teeth but couldn't resist saying, "Mr. Reynolds, why are you looking at indecent content in broad daylight? Show me too." Jack, who was sitting in the front row, was taken aback by her words. His hands involuntarily tugged the steering wheel, causing the car to drift on the road. He was startled and quickly pulled the steering wheel back. The car shook, catching Phoebe off guard, and she fell into Theodore's arms. She gritted her teeth and yelled, "Jack, drive properly."

Jack felt wronged and said, "I'm sorry, I slipped."

She crawled out of Theodore's arms, feeling the weight of his deep gaze. She uncomfortably brushed her hair aside while also glancing at his phone.

The previously indecent scene had disappeared, and she saw Vanessa's face. She took the initiative to greet her.

"Hi, Miss Fitzroy, the scenery looks great. Have a good shoot and strive for fame." Her words had a double meaning, and Vanessa naturally understood. She purposely chose this bikini and time to video call Theodore. In front of Theodore, it was really difficult for her to let go of her proud self-esteem and engage in such shameless seduction.

But Ruby told her that if she doesn't make a move, Phoebe will capture Theodore's attention. That's why she set aside her shame and did this. Little did she know that Phoebe was also in the car.

"Miss. Ziegler has high expectations of me, how can I let her down?" Vanessa said sarcastically.

Phoebe focused the camera solely on her face, taking up the entire screen, not leaving any room for Theodore's hair, let alone any chance of seducing him.

Phoebe smiled and replied, "Miss Fitzroy will do her best, no need to force it."

Vanessa found the smile on her face particularly annoying. She didn't want to see her, so why was she blocking the camera? "I will give it my all."

"That's good, then we'll wait for Miss Fitzroy's triumphant return." After saying that, Vanessa abruptly ended the video call, leaving Phoebe to sit back down once the screen returned to its original state. Phoebe insincerely said, "Oops, I forgot this is your phone. You haven't spoken to Miss Fitzroy yet; would you like me to call her back for you?" Theodore pocketed his phone and looked at her; a half-smile on his face. "Phoebe, has anyone ever told you that you're a terrible actress?"

"Really?" Phoebe innocently replied, "I never planned on entering the entertainment industry, so I don't need acting skills. But Miss Fitzroy could use some practice."

Leaning back in her chair, Phoebe thought about how enraged Vanessa must be at this moment, which made her feel even more content. "By the way, I plan on hiring a professional teacher to give Miss Fitzroy acting lessons when she returns. After all, she will be relying on this skill in the future."

Of course, hiring a professional teacher wasn't just for Vanessa's benefit. Considering the number of people, the company had hired, it was important to consider their long-term development as well.

Theodore noticed that she seemed to be in a good mood. "Phoebe, you truly are..."

"Am I what?" Phoebe turned to look at him.

With the dim lighting inside the car and the approaching darkness outside, Theodore's words remained unsaid. He touched his nose and said, "Nothing, you're in charge."
