Phoebe glanced at her and was about to go over, but Theodore held her wrist and pulled her back, saying, “Where are you going? Sit next to me.”

Ruby’s expression also turned sour. After exchanging a glance with Vanessa, they both felt a bit annoyed. They never expected that during a class reunion, Phoebe would barge in and sit down with them. Seeing them take their seats, Vanessa reluctantly moved to sit next to Ruby.

Phoebe sat next to Theodore, and with everyone seeing Theodore’s different attitude towards her, they couldn’t help but understand. Perhaps now he only pays attention to the new, while forgetting the old.

“Theodore, let’s all have a drink together,” a man sitting next to Patrick said.

Theodore glanced at him and motioned for Phoebe to pour him a drink, “Fill it up for me.”

Phoebe hesitated, “Your stomach…”

“It’s alright,” Theodore pushed the glass towards her. Phoebe poured him a full glass, and they all raised their glasses for a toast three times.

Even though Theodore could hold his liquor, a faint blush appeared on his handsome face. He took off his suit jacket and draped it over the back of the chair. Rolling up his sleeves, he revealed a fair and strong forearm. His tie hung loosely around his neck, and his collar was unbuttoned, revealing a hint of his sexy collarbone.

At this moment, with the effect of the alcohol, it gave birth to a kind of indescribable charm and roguishness, with alluring charm in the corners of the eyes and eyebrows. He leaned back in his chair, one hand resting on the back of Phoebe’s chair, listening to Patrick speak to him with a casual smile in his eyes.

Just then, someone approached and stood beside Phoebe. “Miss. Ziegler, here’s a toast to you.” Phoebe turned her head and saw Ruby holding a glass in front of her. This scene seemed vaguely familiar, as if it overlapped with a certain moment in the past.

“Why does Miss. Adams want to toast me?” Phoebe wondered.

Ruby said, “That day, I failed to keep my balance and got scared, which is why I targeted you. We still need to work together in the future, so I apologize to you. How about we make up?”

Among the people present, were Theodore’s close classmates and friends, so Phoebe didn’t want to reject Ruby in front of them.

“Alright.” She was about to take the glass when a hand reached out from the corner and took it away. Phoebe turned her head and saw Theodore confidently finishing the drink with a tilt of his head. “She just got out of the hospital a couple of days ago, so I’ll drink on her behalf.”

Ruby’s expression was full of drama on her face. She clenched her teeth and forced herself to maintain a decent smile. “Well, Miss. Ziegler, let’s work together happily from now on.”

Seeing Ruby storm off resentfully, Phoebe sat back down. She looked at Theodore who was playing with the empty glass, smiling mysteriously at her. He truly resembled a handsome and charming gentleman. Phoebe felt her heart beating faster and faster, thump, thump… that was the sound of her heart racing. It seemed like she had truly fallen hopelessly in love with him.
