Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 80

The next morning, Agnes dehberately got up late. She didn’t leave her room until nine o’clock.

After watching Jared for a while, she noticed that he was a workaholic. Every day, like clockwork, he’d hit the road at half past seven and didn’t seem to have a day off.

She assumed Jared had already left. As she was walking through the living room, she heard a deep voice asking. “Where’re you off to?”

Startled, she turned around and saw Jared sitting on the couch. He was wearing gold–rimmed glasses, a white shirt and black dress pants, with a laptop on his lap. He looked like he was hard at work.

Agnes had interned at the Tim Group before and was often summoned to the CEO’s office. So, she had seen Jared at work. She had to admit, there was something about a man who was focused on his work, especially if that man was Jared.

After a moment, Agnes responded, “I’m off to school. Got my last major exam today” She did have an exam, but not until the afternoon.
