Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 810

Agnes broke the silence, "So, where are we off to now?"

"Where do you want to go?" Jared asked with a playful grin.

"Don't you have work today?"

"I can skip a day to hang out with you."

Agnes thought for a moment, "Never mind, I'll tag along to your office. I'm kinda missing the beef stew with potatoes in the employee cafeteria at Tim Group."

Jared chuckled, "Alright."

But deep down, Agnes was missing something else, or rather, someone - Nocturne.

Lately, Nocturne had become a staple at the Tim Group, brought in every day by Jared.

Jared had even set up a little toddler bed in his office for him. When Nocturne needed his daily slumber, which was at least eighteen hours, he'd be asleep on that bed.

Most of the secretarial staff were aware of the CEO's son's sleep habits, and everyone adored Nocturne. It had become a sort of rotation, each taking turns to look after the little guy.

Upon reaching Tim Tower, Agnes found Nocturne, as expected, asleep in the office.

Jared had partitioned a small room within his office and turned it into a cozy children's nook.

Once Nocturne woke, he would wander out on his own to pick out books to read.

Agnes spent time with Nocturne in the room, which was also soundproofed enough to give them privacy from the main office area.

When she stepped out after a while, Agnes was surprised to see Valeria in the office with Jared, seemingly deep in work discussions.

Valeria appeared surprised too at seeing Agnes but managed a polite smile. Still, Agnes couldn't help but feel suspicious.
