Forbidden Passion
Chapter 85 The New Assistant's

Phoebe hadn't slept well last night and immediately dozed off in the car. She didn't hear Theodore scolding Madison at all. She slept all the way until they arrived at the company. She didn't know when the car had stopped, but she felt a gentle tap on her face. She blinked drowsily and glanced out of the car window.

Seeing Theodore standing outside the car door, she immediately woke up.

Sitting up straight, she subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth. Thankfully, she hadn't drooled. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Oh, we're here. I must have slept deeply."

Theodore leaned against the car door and casually teased her, "You were snoring so loud. If I hadn't slept next to you last night, I would have thought you had slipped out in the middle of the night." Phoebe felt extremely embarrassed and said softly, "I don't snore when I sleep."

Theodore looked at her and said, "I heard it just now. If you don't believe me, ask Jack." He said as he Faced him. "Hey Jack, did you hear her snoring?" Jack looked at him with difficulty, but didn't say anything. Phoebe felt even more embarrassed. She was furious and kicked him on the shin, saying in anger and shame, "Theodore, you jerk!"

After saying that, she quickly ran into the company building, carrying her bag.

Theodore bent down in pain, massaging his shin. He watched her retreating figure and surprisingly didn't appear annoyed at all. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Madison saw Phoebe kick Theodore and run off, so she hurriedly followed suit. They both ran into the elevator. It was only the two of them inside, and Madison wondered why she had followed Phoebe in the first place. Phoebe pressed the floor number, panting. Not knowing if it was already past the official work hours, they were the only ones in the elevator now.

Madison looked at the flush on Phoebe's face and furrowed her brows, recalling the playful banter they just had. With a charming appearance, Phoebe couldn't help but shiver inside.

"Phoebe, have you fallen in love with Theodore?" Madison aggressively interrogated.

Phoebe furrowed her brows and replied, "We are a married couple. Isn't it normal for me to love him?"

Madison sneered, "I advise you not to love him. There is no future. Theodore's true love is Vanessa. They are the most compatible."

Phoebe looked at her and found it amusing, "You keep emphasizing that they are the most compatible, but what about me? I am your sister-in-law."

"That's only because you resorted to tactics to get pregnant with Theodore's child. "Madison continued, "Anyway, don't get too confident. Theodore will eventually reunite with Vanessa. If you have any sense, you should take the initiative to divorce him."

Phoebe's ears were calloused from listening to her words. She couldn't be bothered with Madison and stepped out of the elevator. Madison gritted her teeth and followed her.

When they arrived at the director's office, John was already waiting there. Seeing Phoebe with a beautiful young girl following behind her, he thought she was a new talent that the company had recruited. "Miss Adams, good morning."

"Good morning, John. This is Madison, she's joining our company. Find something for her to do," Phoebe instructed John.

John was surprised. Knowing that this building belonged to the Sheng family, wasn't Madison related to Mr. Reynolds? "Miss Adams, all positions have been filled, and we don't currently need anyone."
