Chapter 795 red placed the chocolate cake in front of Agnes. âYou havenât eaten anything tonight, have you? Eat some before work.â
Agnes stared at the chocolate cake in surprise âIsnât this usually sold out? The shop should be closed by now. How did you manage to get it?â
Jared casually perched on the edge of Agnesâ desk, a slight smirk on his face. âI have my ways.â
Although he said it lightly. Agnes knew it couldnât have been that simple. Jared must have gone through some trouble to get the cake, hence why he was an hour late. The bitterness in her heart seemed to fade a little Agnes tasted a piece of the chocolate cake The nich, savory flavor of chocolate spread across her palate. âDelicious,â she said.
Jared started, âYou were at the parking lot earlier, werenât you?â
Agnesâ breath paused, and then she quickly said, âNo.â
Jared looked at Agnes and said, âWhen you lie, you canât look me in the eyesâ
Agnes shot back, Tm not lying, and I have no problem looking into your eyes.â
Agnes locked eyes with Jared, like a child challenging an adult. If she lacked even this much courage, then she wouldnât last long.
Jaredâs lips twitched into a soft smile, his tone gentle. âSo you didnât see Sharon?â
âNoâ Agnes frowned.
Jared reached out and spread his palm, revealing a clothing button. Then this button isnât yours, I suppose?â
Agnes immediately checked her sleeves and found one button missing. Sheâd lost it in the parking lot and had nothing to say in defense Admitting defeat. Agnes confessed, âYes, I was in the parking lot. I saw you and Sharon hugging tightly, cooing at each other, I didnât want to interrupt you, so I left You know what happened, so thereâs no need to explainâ
Jared chuckled at Agnes jealous demeanor He found her childish anger adorable. He watched her silently, enjoying the sight, Agnes felt uncomfortable under his gaze, her suppressed anger flaring up again. She saw everything on the spot, and Jared didnât even bother to explain.
Annoyed, Agnes huffed and got back to work. The cake was now a painful reminder of her jealousy and she pushed it aside Seeing her reaction, Jared decided to stop teasing her. âAlright, Iâm sorry. I promise I wonât hug any other woman from now on.
Could you forgive me this once? You know it was just a courteous hug, nothing more Agnes knew. She was there at the time. was Sharon whoâd initiated the hug. Agnes wasnât one to be petty. But she couldnât help feeling jealous. Was it because Jared was unaware of Sharonâs feelings for him, or was he playing dumb?
