Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 524

Chapter 524 

Agnes was about to hang up the phone when the person on the other end suddenly asked, “Are you looking for Mr. Whitfield?” 

Hearing the name Mr. Whitfield made Agnes‘ heart race. 

But she managed to keep her voice steady, “I’m looking for Jared, is he available?” 

Agnes didn’t care to ask who this girl on the phone was, or why Jared’s phone was with her. 

It was none of her business. 

The girl on the other end nervously said, “Sorry, Mr. Whitfield left his phone at my place yesterday. He should be at the office now, so…” 

Images started forming in Agnes‘ mind and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony 

For so many years, she had tried to avoid him. 

And yet, it seemed that Jared was living the high life without her. 

Agnes said, “I’ll figure it out, don’t worry about it.” 

Then, she hung up. 

She stood there, phone in hand, lost in thought. 

In reality, her mind was a blank slate, she didn’t know what she was thinking. 

A receptionist sneered at her, “Don’t embarrass yourself here. Our boss won’t see a nobody like you. Don’t think you can rise to the top just because you’ve had some interaction with the boss.” 

Agnes ignored her and dialed another number. 

She didn’t have a lot of time, there were things that needed to be sorted out immediately. 

Seeing Agnes ignore her, the receptionist looked even more contemptuous, “I have never seen such a shameless woman, she won’t even leave when told to.” This time, Agnes called Leo. 

She had a good memory and still remembered his number. 

Leo picked up quickly, “Who’s this?” 

Agnes said, “Leo, it’s Agnes. I need to see Jared, can you set up an appointment for me?” 

The women behind her started laughing, “Is she actually calling Leo? How ridiculous. 

Leo was the boss’s personal secretary. 

He was second in command in the whole company. 

Even the old shareholders had to show him respect. 

Like the boss, Leo was always busy. 

Why would he have time for this woman? 

But to their surprise, Leo showed up quickly, even jogging over.
