Chapter 144 âph? A famous movie star confessed to you, and you turned him down?â
âJust donât like himâ
Agnes looked at Jared, her breath almost hitching in her throat Jared calmly met her gaze, raising an eyebrow slightly He closed the distance between them and whispered, âIâll let you off the hook this time, but keep your distance in the future.â
The way Jared said it was full of implications His cool lips were almost touching Agnes.
She could feel his warm breath every time he spoke, almost as if he was trying to seduce her.
Agnes thoughts began to whirl Seeing Agnes looking dazed, Jared couldnât resist leaning in for a kiss In truth, Jared knew very well Agnes and Justin didnât have anything going on.
But not until Agnes admitted it hersell did Jared finally feel at ease.
He kissed her for a long time before finally letting go Agnesâ face was so red it looked like she was about to bleed Her thoughts hadnât caught up yet She was supposed to be the one blaming him, why is it now him forgiving her?
Jared looked at Agnes face, saying with satisfaction, âCome meet my parents tonightâ
Jaredâs words jolted Agnes back to reality like a bolt of lightning âMeet your parents?
âOur relationship is out in the open now, keeping it a secret from my family is impossible Iâm sure my father will take action soon!
Just as Jared finished speaking, there was a knock on the conference room door Jared said indifferently. âCome in.â.
When Leo walked in, he saw Jared holding Agnes close as if he had just been doting on her In front of Jared, Agnes looked like a rabbit being eyed by a leopard Leo coughed to get their attention, then lowered his head and said, âMr. Whitfield, your father called. He has arranged a dinner with Agnesâs family tonight. He asks that you both attendâ
Jared said nonchalantly, âI see â
Leo lingered at the door, not leaving Jared asked coldly, âIs there anything else?â
Leo gathered his courage and said, âMr Whitfield, the shareholdersâ meeting was supposed to start at three, itâs already twentyâ
two past three now. The shareholders have been waiting for a while, they didnât dare to come in.â
Agnes was mortified.
She hadnât realized that so many people were gathered outside the door, and they were the companyâs major shareholders.
She wanted to find a hole and crawl into it Only then did she realize how intimate she and Jared must have looked?
She let out a yelp and pushed Jared away.
Jared, however, seemed completely unconcerned. He leisurely adjusted his tie and said, âLet them inâ
Then he turned to Agnes and said, âWait for me in my office. Weâll go home together tonightâ
Agnes hurriedly said, âI should Jared agreed. All night!â
With that, Agnes made her exit.
back to the set. I have a scene this afternoon. This evening... you can pick me upâ
Just then, some shareholders walked in.
Most of the shareholders of the Tim Group were quite elderly. They looked at Agnes as if she was a disaster waiting to happen It was understandable Although Jared was young, everyone at the Tim Group held him in high esteem.
He was admired for his business acumen, unique vision, and efficiency, and being a dedicated and somewhat obsessed workaholic.
He was strict about punctuality Once, he had an executive fired for being a minute late to a shareholdersâ meeting But just now.
He had been chatting intimately with a woman in the conference room for a while, completely ignoring them.
This was unprecedented So, these shareholders were on edge, eyeing Agnes warly, fearing she might be the one to cause havoc and disrupt the order of things
