Chapter 755 Agnes strolled in making herself comfortable on the couch and gently ruffling Nocturneâs hair.
Jared got her a warm cup of coffee, asking. âHowâs your first day at work?â
Agnes shrugged, âitâs not bad, just a bit surprisingâ
âWhat surprised you?â
âNothing much, just bumped into an old friend Agnes casually brushed it off, deliberately changing the subject. She didnât want Jared to know about Yolanda just yet With his personality, he would certainly get involved.
And if Yolanda was really trying to bury the hatchet. Jaredâs interference might just mess things up.
Eventually. Jared finished his work for the day, and Nocturne was fully awake. They headed to a steakhouse for dinner and later attended a concert. By the time they got back home, it was already late into the night Agnes tucked a sleeping Nocturne into his bed. Jared snuck up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist, âAgnes, I feel incredibly happy right now. Agnes smiled, âDonât worry, weâll always be this happy.â
The next morning, after breakfast, Agnes and Jared headed to work. The TV station wasnât far from Tim Tower. Jared had intended to drop Agnes off, but she refused Jaredâs car was the only one of its kind in Willowbrook Town. How could people not recognize it? Even those who didnât would definitely give a luxury car like his a second look The TV station was a complex place, full of prying eyes. The last thing Agnes wanted was to become news herself.
On her second day of work, Agnes discovered that most of her colleagues were out in the field. She knocked on Yolandaâs office door.
âCome in, Yolandaâs voice echoed from behind the glass door Agnes entered. âDirector Yolanda, do you have any assignments for me?â
Yolanda grinned, âAgnes, your timing is perfect. We have a huge task. We need to organize the old newspapers in the stationâs storage according to their year of publication. This task is now yours Agnes faltered but didnât argue She agreed to the task. After she left the office, Yolanda asked an assistant to show Agnes to the storage area. When the door was opened, a musty smell of old papers engulfed her The storage was enormous, it was almost like a small library. Rows and rows of shelves were stacked with newspapers from various years, all in complete disarray. The floor was littered with bundles of papers, making it look like a junkyard.
Agnes knew this task was impossible to complete and, moreover, completely pointless The assistant mumbled. âAgnes, you can start sorting. Iâll be leaving now And just like that, Agnes was left alone in the room.
Sitting on a bundle of newspapers, Agnes knew she should have slapped her resignation letter on Yolandaâs desk the moment she was assigned this task Clearly, Yolandaâs promise to let bygones be bygones was insincere. It was only the second day, and she was already making Agnes life difficult.
