Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 809

Sharon chuckled, her voice laced with a newfound resolve, "Jared, I don't want to be under your influence anymore. I'm tired of people whispering that you're my sugar daddy, and I'm sick of the crazy, cutthroat showbiz world. I'm thinking of selling the house and going abroad to study."

Jared fell silent for a moment, digesting her words before responding, "Alright, I'll have Leo take care of it."

"I need some space, guys. Just give me a moment to myself," Sharon said, her tone firm yet weary.

Agnes and Jared left the room, leaving Leo in the lounge. Jared turned to him, "Stay here with her, don’t let her out of your sight. That's your job for the week."

"You can count on me, boss. I won't let anything happen to Sharon," Leo promised, using Sharon's nickname.

Exiting the Riverview Estate, Agnes commented, "Is it just me, or does Leo seem a bit... you know, into Ms. Sharon?"

Jared raised an eyebrow, caught off guard, "How can you tell?"

"Just a hunch," Agnes admitted.

"Let's not start playing matchmaker now," Jared warned her.

Agnes let out a light laugh, "Just teasing. But seriously, poor Leo's been single for years. Don't you think you should help your right-hand man find some romance?"

Jared frowned slightly, "Maybe I should set him up on a blind date."

"I have a friend, remember? The one I told you about, Nocturne’s mentor? I think she and Leo would hit it off. He's charming and capable, and he's got that caring vibe. My friend’s a genius but a total introvert when it comes to socializing. They might be compatible."
