Chapter 793 Yolanda knew it deep in her heart that if things continued this way, with Jared backing Agnes, she might genuinely lose her position one day.
What intimidated her most was that Agnes was indeed quite competent But so what? Agnes was nothing more than a discarded wife from a wealthy family with an arrogant attitude. Yolanda didnât give her a second thought After leaving the venue, Agnes went straight to the parking lot The plan was to leave with Jared, but she didnât expect to run into Sharon and Jared talking in the parking lot.
Sharon said like a little girl seeking praise, âJared, Iâm really happy today. I won Best Actress. I can still hold my ground in this industry. Iâm not a useless pretty face, am 17â
There was a comforting smile on Jaredâs face.
âOf course not, youâre amazing Iâm glad I was able to present you the award personally and witness your growth and hard workâ
Smiling. Sharon replied. âYour affirmation means more to me than anyone elseâs I owe my achievements to you. Youâve always been there for me, pulling me up whenever I hit rock bottom Iâm genuinely grateful for you.â
Patting Sharonâs shoulder, Jared said, âSilly girl, Iâm your brotherâ
At the mention of brother. Sharonâs expression seemed to change subtly. A hint of bitterness seeped through her eyes Across from Sharon, Agnes saw everything clearly. But Sharonâs sight was blocked by a pillar, so she couldnât see Agnes at all.
Suddenly, Sharon said, âJared, I saw Ms. Pritchard today She interviewed meâ
Jared responded casually, âOh, did the interview go well?â
Sharon nodded. âIt went really well Ms. Pritchard is nice, and she asked me questions I was confident in answering. But I didnât get a chance to chat with her Jared assured her. There will be other opportunities Iâll introduce you to herâ
There was a poignant look in Sharonâs eyes when she looked at Jared Agnes noticed how Sharonâs fingers clenched nervously Finally, Sharon seemed to muster the courage to say, âJared, can I hug you? Just one hug, please?â
There was a pleading tone in Sharonâs voice, almost like a child begging for candy.
What man could resist such a request? As expected, Jared gently hugged her.
Sharon rested her head on Jaredâs shoulder, careful not to hold on too tightly.
But Agnes clearly saw tears sliding down Sharonâs cheeks. It was heartâwrenching to see. Her melancholy and longing felt like a hand strangling Agnes.
At that moment, Agnes realized something Regardless of Jaredâs feelings for Sharon, Sharonâs love for Jared was something beyond mere friendship.
It was hard for Agnes to watch from afar.
It wasnât their hug that bothered her. The hug was nothing more than a common social courtesy.
But it was Sharonâs feelings for Jared that stung Agnes Suddenly. Agnes felt a mess.
It wasnât surprising, though. Jared had told her he saw Sharon as a sister. But without any blood relation, what woman could resist Jaredâs charms?
Even Mamie fell for him once
