Chapter 762 Of course, Agnes wasnât oblivious to Jaredâs intentions. He was probably trying to remind Yolanda that he was Agnesâ backup, her support system, but Agnes felt this approach might backfire Agnes stood up, hoisted her glass, and said, âMr. Whitfield, thank you.â
Jared merely chuckled, clinked glasses with Agnes, then downed his drink in one go.
Everyone present took notice that Mr. Whitfield was really giving Agnes due respect When others toasted earlier, Mr. Whitfield had merely sipped his drink. But when Agnes proposed a toast, he had consumed the entire glass.
Moreover, he had entrusted her with something as crucial as the promotional video Agnes was a returnee from overseas, that was true, but she was still a newcomer at the television station.
Snagging such a big project was like winning the lottery.
Yolandaâs face darkened, which everyone noticed. It seemed Agnes would get more trouble.
After the meal, people began to excuse themselves.
Agnes intended to leave with the others, but Jared held her hand directly. Agnes quickly withdrew her hand, looking around.
Fortunately, no one saw it. A smirk spread across Jaredâs face Yolanda, however, saw everything, and she clenched her fingers.
It seemed that Jared still had a keen interest in his exâwife. But Yolanda wasnât sure if Jared still had feeling for Agnes or intent on toying with her However, the way Jared looked at Agnes was really annoying.
Yolanda deliberately approached Agnes, âAgnes, youâve had a drink. You shouldnât drive. My driver is outside. Letâs go together.
He can drop you offâ
Agnes was about to decline, but Jared spoke up, âDirector Bowman, you can go first. Ms. Pritchard and I need to discuss the copyâ
Jared said it quite frankly, as if they were genuinely going to discuss work. But who would believe that?
It was almost ten at night, and they were alone together, to talk about work?
But if Jared was making Agnes stay with him, she couldnât prevent it. Though she was annoyed, Yolanda left anyway.
Soon, only Jared and Agnes were left in the private room Agnes sighed, âWhy are you doing this?â
Jared had had quite a bit to drink. Although he had a good alcohol tolerance, his eyes were slightly red, as if he was slightly tipsy.
He looked up, his gaze as enticing as a poppy blooming in the dark night.
Jared sat there, pulling Agnes into his lap. His face was buried in Agnes neck, his voice slightly alcoholic and somewhat childish, 7 just canât stand to see others bullying you Jaredâs lips moved lightly near Agnes ear Agnes felt a ticklish sensation, and her ears turned red. But she couldnât help saying.
Your actions will only make my situation worse! Yolanda wonât be scared off because youâre protecting me. Instead she might make things difficult for me because of past grudges She is my superior, and it would be easy for her to make things hard for me.â
Jaredâs voice was hoarse, but he seemed unconcerned, âIf she dares to give you a hard time, Iâll remove her from her position.
Or, I can arrange a higher position for you at the station, so you can manage her. How about that? You should learn how to give others a hard time. Youâve been too nice in your past lifeâ
What kind of thinking was that? Agnes was amused and speechless at the same time.
