Chapter 794 Agnes walked straight out from the parking lot and hailed a taxi. She seemed lost in thought during the ride but in reality, her mind was blank, void of any though Her phoneâs vibration finally brought her back from her trance. It was a call from Jared.
Agnes stared at the name on the screen for a few seconds before picking 1. up.
âWhere are you right now?â Jaredâs voice echoed from the other end Tm back at the TV station. I need to work on the interview immediately and edit it tonight Agnes responded, her voice not different from her usual tone.
Jared sounded a bit annoyed. âDidnât we decide to leave together? Why didnât you tell me before you left?â
Agnes paused for a while before saying. âI forgotâ
There was silence on Jaredâs end. After a moment, he sighed. TI come to the TV station then.â
âYou donât have to. Iâll be working late. Maybe you should pick up Nocturne, Agnes suggested Still. Jared insisted. âNo matter how late you work. Iâll wait for you. Plus, all the reporters should be at the film festival now itâs after hours, so you donât have to worry about being seen 14 Jared knew what Agnes disliked the most people knowing about their relationship. They had a secret marriage four years ago, and the situation was still the same. Jared wasnât thrilled about it. He wanted to shout out their relationship from the rooftops, but he had to keep it a secret due to Agnes profession Seeing Jaredâs insistence, Agnes knew it was pointless to argue âAlright, come over then.â
After hanging up. Agnes felt her mood shift. She didnât understand why she was feeling so upset. She knew Jared didnât have feelings for Sharon. If he did, their relationship wouldâve progressed further over the years. However, she still felt sour Agnes arrived at the almost empty TV station She didnât need to do the postâproduction work, but she wanted to keep herself busy. Usually, she could forget everything when she worked, but today, she was distracted it was probably because she knew Jared was coming Jared was supposed to arrive within twenty minutes. However, an hour had passed, and he was still not there. Agnes started to feel a strange unease. Anger also started to seep in. If he didnât want to come, why did he insist on it earlier?
See, women can be so contradictory sometimes Agnes thought she couldnât escape this magical law.
Finally, Jared showed up, holding a box of chocolate cake, Agnesâ favorite. She had been craving them a few days ago but couldnât get them as they were always sold out within minutes Agnes didnât have time to queue, but Jared had remembered her cravings and managed to get them for her.
