Chapter 313 Jared was just staring out the window, not saying a word, as if he hadnât heard a thing.
Agnes felt a bit awkward, knowing Jaredâs snobbish character in public.
So, she covered for Jared, âHe doesnât mean anything by it, he was born that way, Mariela, please donât mind it.â
Jared shot Agnes a glance.
In a short while, they reached Starfall Village Today, Starfall Village was buzzing like never before Even though itâs in the middle of nowhere, its boat race was super famous, drawing crowds from other cities just to catch the action.
The boat race took place on Starfall River, with water so clear you could see your own reflection.
Though the race hadnât started yet, the banks of Starfall River were already jam-packed with people.
Agnes was a bit bummed, âWith all these people, weâre not gonna find a decent spot Manela chimed in, âI know a place that was not too crowded with great view Agnes was surprised to find that Mariela led them to the riverbank where the race was about to start.
The view was incredible, they could even see the faces of the racers clearly.
But the reason this place wasnât buzzing with people was because of a broken spot on the riverbank that hadnât been fixed yet.
Watching the race from here, it was easy to take a tumble into the water when itâs crowded.
Still, there were a few brave souls around, though not many.
Mariela warned, âThis is probably the best spot, but just watch your step. The riverbank is busted. Itâs easy to fall into the river.â
Agnes was thrilled. She bolted to the front, hollering with the crowd.
Then, she turned to Jared, âJared, look at those guys, theyâre ripped, all of them have six pack abs.â
Jared frowned, âAre they really that great?â
Agnes stuck her tongue out teasingly, âDonât be such a wet blanket. Iâm just taking a look, not gonna touch them.â
This woman still wanted to touch them?
Jared pinched Agnesâ face, âNo more looking, letâs go home.â
Agnes quickly held onto Jaredâs hand, pleading for forgiveness, âIâm sorry, Iâm just here for the race, okay?â
Jared released his grip. Mariela stood nearby, watching the two of them interact. They were like a couple in love, which was admirable.
Agnes had lived a life of privilege since she was little. Every time she visited the countryside, everything felt fresh and exciting, like the chicks and ducks were new toys.
She said she loved the countryside because it was quiet and cozy.
But Mariela, who had grown tired of this place, knew otherwise.
Agnes found the chicks and ducks cute, probably because she didnât have to clean up after them.
She loved the homemade food, probably because she was used to fancy, exotic dishes.
Mariela had been a hardworking student since she was little. She had one goal in mind to get out of the countryside and become someone people looked up to.
In fact, she had achieved that, she now had a high-paying, respectable job.
But that wasnât enough.
She had only managed to escape the countryside but couldnât break into high society.
Even though she was a top performer at work, she was still working for someone else.
Her only way out was with a little help She was excellent and beautiful and many rich businessmen had expressed interest in her Although she was outwardly friendly, she didnât really fancy these fat, nch people.
Until she laid her eyes on Jared for the first time...
Mariela admitted, she was attracted to this man with a unique elitist charm The Boat Race started quickly.
