Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 753

Agnes stepped out of Yolanda's office, pleasantly surprised at how smoothly things had gone. Could it be that she had been overly suspicious, misjudging Yolanda's intentions? Perhaps Yolanda had forgotten about their shared past. Anyway, Agnes decided not to dwell on it.

In the afternoon, she went through the documents of the News Department and studied the column called The Primary Perspective, which primarily covered societal news. The column had been temporarily halted due to some issues and was awaiting public selection for a new team.

After work, Agnes headed straight to Tim Tower. These days, she had been job hunting and couldn't look after Nocturne, who now went to work with Jared early in the morning.

Agnes had visited Tim Tower a few times and had become somewhat known amongst its employees. Rumors about her relationship with the CEO, Jared, were swirling around there; some speculated she was his new flame, others thought she was an old lover. Some even rumored she might be the mother of Jared's illegitimate child. Of course, some veteran secretaries knew she was Jared's ex-wife.

Agnes always tried to keep a low profile. She took the elevator, crossed the secretary department, and went straight to Jared's office. Nocturne was still asleep.

Mr. K, who was already there, was pacing around, scratching his head. "Jared, when will Nocturne wake up? I have so many questions for him. I've been trying to track down his master for so long, but I can't seem to find any leads," he said.

Jared asked, "What on earth have you been up to lately? You seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth."

Mr. K smirked, "I recently encountered an interesting adversary. We're competing to breach the information defense system of an overseas criminal organization. Whoever does it first will be the 'daddy.'"
