Chapter 60 Life in the following days was pretty chill, and before she knew it, it was already June.
Jared was still often away on business, and Agnes found hersell growing increasingly dependent on him.
On the first day of every business trip Jared took, Agnes would start looking forward to when he would get back.
But this time. Jaredâs trip was unusually longâa whole week with no confirmed date of return.
Kerri noticed Agnes moping around the house, endlessly staring at her phone, like she was deep in the throes of missing someone.
Agnes had to admit that she really missed Jared, waiting for his messages and his calls.
Even if his messages were just a word or two, Agnes would look at her phone, her heart brimming with happiness.
Kern began to wonder if Agnes was falling in love.
Agnes didnât deny it.
Today was weekend, and Agnes hadnât received any messages from Jared all day, which made her feel particularly down.
By three oâclock in the afternoon, Agnes had left the library and planned to go home to sleep. On her bike ride home, because her mind wasnât there, she nearly hit a black sedan.
When the car stopped, Agnes was startled because her bike had left an obvious scratch on the rear of the car.
Agnes took one look at the license plate, and it was a Maybach. Her heart sank.
The driver got out and immediately scolded her: âWhatâs wrong with you, young lady? How can you ride a bike so carelessly?-
Donât you care about safety?â
Agnes quickly apologized, saying, âIâm sorry, it was my fault.â
The driver quickly checked and saw the scratch on his car and said, âCan you afford to pay for this damage? Do you know what kind of car it is? Can you, a student, afford it?â
Agnes replied. âWe can call the police first, follow the standard procedures, get an assessment, and I will take responsibilityâ
âYouâre talking like itâs so easy. Do you have any idea how much this car costs?â
âMoss.â A deep voice came from the back seat of the car.
It was then that Agnes noticed there was a young man in the back seat. He was wearing sunglasses, and his face was unclear, but his side profile was strikingly handsome, and he carried himself with a calm aura that was not ordinary The driver, Moss, went over immediately and reported the incident.
Agnes waited at a distance, and after a while, Moss came over and said, âWe donât have time for official procedures. Just give us twenty thousand for the repair cost; we wonât haggle with you todayâ
If she didnât know any better, she might have thought he was trying to rip her off, but Agnes knew that settling for twenty thousand was actually letting her off easy Agnes responded, âAlright, but twenty thousand is no small sum. Iâm just a student. Give me a month, and I will pay off this debt.â
Moss ran over to ask the man in the back seat again.
Then, Moss handed Agnes a business card and said, âThis is my bossâs card. It has his contact information. When you have the money ready, call him, and he will give you the account information.â
Agnes took the card and nodded.
Moss emphasized again, âUnless itâs necessary, please donât bother my boss. Heâs very busy.â
Agnes nodded again.
When Moss got back in the car, he was a bit puzzled. His bossâs card was a precious thing; why would he give it to such a clumsy girl?
These small matters should be handled by his subordinates. His boss had a ton of work to do every day, and dealing with this kind of thing personally was not his style When the car drove away, Agnes finally looked down at the card.
The card was very simple, with only a name and a phone number on it.
Ivan?
Why did Agnes feel like she had heard this name before?
