Chapter 759 Everyone was quite taken aback by this juicy piece of gossip.
âDoes Director Bowman still have a thing for Mr. Whitfield, or why else would she be primping herself up in there?â
âNah, sheâs already married, plus the head of this company is her fatherâinâlaw. I bet she just canât stand the idea of Mr.
Whitfield not seeing her at her best. Itâs like trying to appear all perfect in front of your ex âI sure would love to meet Mr Whitfieldâs exâwife. She must have been something to ruffle Director Bowmanâs feathers. Heard she was a Pritchard, a rich lady and a big movie star But after she divorced Mr. Whitfield, all the stories about her just seemed to vanish.â
Suddenly, someone turned to Agnes, who was still engrossed in her writing, âHey Agnes, youâre a Pritchard too. Could Mr.
Whitfieldâs exâwife be some distant relative of yours?â
Agnes had been hearing every word as they discussed the matter. She had been intentionally avoiding the topic, refraining from participating, and quietly focusing on her work. But why on earth did the spotlight suddenly shift to her?
Agnes chuckled, âWell, hereâs a secret, guys. That woman is actually me Everyone burst into laughter, âAgnes, you canât be serious! Everyone knows you studied abroad. If you were Mr. Whitfieldâs exâ
wife, then I might as well be Mr. Whitfieldâs number one mistress.â
Another chimed in, âAnd I would be the second one then.â
âYou are indeed quite a character.â They all laughed and gossiped, teasing each other.
Agnes sighed in relief.
She had done it on purpose. Claiming to be Jaredâs exâwife was the perfect way to make sure no one would believe it. But she couldnât keep up this charade forever When the truth came out, at least she had given herself a way out.
But what she didnât understand was why Jared had suddenly shown up at her company.
Did that afternoon aroused his suspicions? Agnes sighed inwardly.
Not long after, Yolanda emerged from the office. Just in time, as Jared and the station head walked into the newsroom.
Yolanda flicked her hair and walked over nonchalantly. Upon reaching them, she greeted, âDadâ
âYolanda, since youâre still here, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Whitfield, the CEO of Tim Group. Theyâve chosen us to produce their promotional video want you to handle this project. So, itâs good for you both to get acquainted Yolanda, ever so poised, replied, âDad, Mr. Whitfield and I are old acquaintances. No need for introductionsâ
Then she turned to Jared, âIsnât that right, Mr. Whitfield?â
Jaredâs gaze fell on Yolanda, his eyes sharp as if he was sizing something up.
No wonder Leo said that Agnes had been sorting old newspapers at work.
So, it was because of her new boss.
Jared gave a small smile. âMs. Bowman, of course, I remember.â
The station head was delighted. The Tim Group had its own promotional team Them choosing their company to produce the video was like a pie falling from the sky.
Yolanda added, âMr. Whitfield, let me show you around our News Department. We have the best talent and stateâofâtheâart equipment. Choosing us for your promotional video is a wise decision.â
Jared seemed indifferent, not responding. His gaze scanned the room and eventually landed on Agnes, who was engrossed in her writing **
Yolanda noticed it too.
