Chapter 824 Agnes felt like she was carrying a boulder in her chest She had made a one-month pact with Alyssa But Alyssa had laid down an ultimatum if Agnes couldnât convince Ryder to give her up, she ought to distance herself from both Ryder and Jared After breakfast. Agnes headed to the TV station She was taken aback to find Ben, Ramona, and Hans all present in the office Their eyes on her were weird, making Agnes even more suspicious that she had made a fool of herself last night after one too many drinks Agnes cut to the chase. âLook, if I did anything embarrassing last night after getting tipsy, just forget about it, okay?â
The room was still awkwardly silent Ramona, after a moment, said, âBoss, itâs not us you should worry about. Itâs Mr. Whitfield Mr. Whitfield? Were they talking about Ryder? What did he have to do with anything?
A really bad hunch crept up Agnes spine She steeled herself Spill it What happened last night?â
Ramona looked at Agnes with a complex expression, âBoss, you got drunk and started stripping Mr. Whitfield in public. You insisted he shouldnât be wearing a suit, said he should wear a doctorâs coat or something. It was I canât even describe it.â
Agnes felt her world tilt She couldâve accepted singing or dancing embarrassingly, but this was beyond the pale.
Stripping Ryder Had she lost her mind?
Seeing the shock on Agnes face, Ramona tried to console her. âAgnes, donât beat yourself up. Actually, when you think about it, itâs no big deal. Mr Whitfield is your family. night? Just apologize to him next time you see him.â
Agnes asked further. âHow did I leave last night?â
âMr Whitfield carried you out.â
âWhich Mr Whitfield?â
âRyder, of course See, he wasnât mad at all. He took such good care of you.â
Agnes was taken aback So it was Ryder who had taken her away. No wonder Jared was so disturbed. But what Agnes couldnât recall was whether Ryder and Jared had any confrontation A classic case of alcohol causing trouble Agnes was filled with regret and she muddled through her workday.
After leaving the office. Agnes made her way straight to Tim Tower.
Nocturne was just coming around Jared stepped out of the conference room, Valena close behind.
Valeria offered, âWhat do you feel like for dinner? Iâll order takeoutâ
They had been working late on a new project these past days, their dinners consisted of office takeouts Jared slipped on his jacket. Tve got plans tonight Donât stay too late yourself As he stepped out, he saw Agnes holding Nocturne not too far off Jared approached Agnes with a soft tone. When did you get here?â
âJust now Replying. Agnes glanced at Valeria Jared suggested, âLetâs head out together thenâ
Agnes nodded Valeria watched them walk away a slight frown creasing her forehead
