Chapter 34


    After hanging up the phone, Agnes felt a sense of relief. Everything was going ording to her n.


    She had just gotten off the phone with Jared.


    Agnes gathered her stuff and made her way straight to Tim Tower


    Tim Tower was the city’sndmark in the city center.


    Agnes knew the ce like the back of Her hand and went straight up to the 60th floor by the elevator.


    That’s where Jared’s office was.


    The Journalism Society members were all waiting in the lounge.


    When Lily saw Agnes showing up at the door, she looked like she had just seen a life–saver.


    “Agnes, get ready quickly. Here’s the interview script. You’re tasked with interviewing Mr. Whitfield. The


    interview has been rescheduled to 4:30. You have an hour to prepare. Thanks for your hard work,


    Agnes.”


    Agnes took the script and said, ‘Don’t worry, President Lily. I’ll do my best.”


    As Agnes finished her words, she scanned the lounge and locked eyes with Jenny.


    Jenny seemed to have tear stains on her face, and two people wereforting her.


    For a moment, Agnes saw the resentment from Jenny’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it, then she


    turned to a look of injustice and weakness. This very act of Jenny had once deceived Agnes.


    After that, Agnes devoted her time to preparing for the interview. At 4:30, she began her formal


    interview with–Jared.


    As a matter of fact, this was Agnes‘ first time as an interviewer. She was extremely nervous internally.


    But because Jared was the interviewee, she felt secure in her heart. The interview went smoothly, and

    Agnes performed professionally.


    After the interview, Agnes stood up, tripped over the equipment cords, and almost fell.


    Luckily, Jared reacted quickly and grabbed her hand.


    Jared scolded her in a low voice, “Watch your step. You’re still as clumsy as a child.”


    Agnes quickly withdrew her hand from Jared’s, ncing around.


    Everyone was busy packing up their equipment. Thankfully, no one noticed the incident.


    Jared’s affectionate tone might have caused misunderstandings, if anyone had seen it.


    However, Jenny, who was standing in the corner, saw everything.


    The more she watched, the more she felt something was off between Agnes and Jared.


    Just as everyone was ready to leave, Jenny suddenly approached Jared and asked, “Mr. Whitfield, If I


    may, can I ask a personal question on behalf of all the girls in Willowbrook Town. Do you have a


    girlfriend?”


    Jenny’s question was abrupt but instantly caught everyone’s attention.


    Though it was a personal question, which big shots usually despise, it was also the question everyone


    was dying to know.


    Everyone held their breath, uncertain whether Jared would answer or get angry


    Agnes knew better than anyone that Jenny was just getting suspicious and wanted to confirm it in


    public.


    At this moment, if Jared admitted, it would at least prove that something was going on between him


    and Agnes.


    If he denied it, it would mean that, despite their unusual rtionship, Agnes didn’t hold an important


    ce in his heart.


    Jenny was leaning towards thetter. Jared once mentioned in front of her and Elton that he was


    Agnes‘ boyfriend.


    But Jenny wasn’t sure if it was true or false.


    However, now, if Jared could deny their rtionship in front of everyone, it would mean that even if


    they were close, Jared was not serious about Agnes and was just ying with her feelings.
