Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 564

 

Chapter 564 

Finding the safe in the room wasn’t hard, Laura had stashed it in the closet of the dressing room 

Agnes had already hollered at Nate remotely

In less than five minutes, Nate had remotely cracked the safe’s code 

Agnes was a bit nerves. She didn’t have too much time

She had sneaked in while the nanny was busy changing bed sheets

The room was going to be locked up soon

Agnes quickly eyeballed the stuff inside, there were a lot of jewels and bling, and some contracts and paperwork

But Agnes couldn’t find the money transfer receipt she was after

Agnes didn’t have time to ponder, she quickly tidied up the stuff, put it back in the safe and bolted out of the room

As soon as Agnes stepped out, she ran into Kevin

Kevin had just seen Agnes coming out of Laura’s room

One hand of Agnes was still on the doorknob, she got the jitters

What a coincidence, she was caught redhanded

Kevin gave Agnes the onceover, What were you doing in Laura’s room?” 

Agnes smiled, I came to see Ms. Laura, but she wasn’t in.” 

Kevin chuckled, I noticed you go in. You were in there for 12 minutes. Did it really take you that long to figure out no one was there?” 

Agnes frowned, Are you spying on me?” 

Not spying, just curious.” 

After a moment of silence, Agnes broke into a grin, Kevin, you would keep this secret for me, right? We’re friends after all.” 

Kevin raised an eyebrow, We just met yesterday, Ms. Agnes.” 

Agnes kept on smiling, I’m friends with Justin, and given your relationship with Justin, we can be friends too.” 

Mentioning Justin, Kevin’s face changed instantly, You know Justin?” 

We’re pretty tight. I even know his private cell number.” 

Agnes thought to herself, Sorry Justin, I had to throw you under the bus.” 

Kevin was silent for a moment, then said, Deal.” 

Agnes didn’t propose any deal, but they both knew the score

Kevin’s gaze softened a bit, If you’re looking for something valuable, Ms. Laura keeps all her important stuff in her office safe, not here.” 

Kevin was sharp, he had guessed her intention

Agnes said, Thanks for the tip.” 

After parting with Kevin, Agnes planned to head back to her room

Her cold seemed to have gotten worse, her head was buzzing

She didn’t find what she wanted, she couldn’t stir up more trouble
