Chapter 240


    Agnes was staring nkly at Ryder


    She totally didn’t see thating.


    As always, Ryder’s face was cold and indifferent.


    He spoke as if he was telling someone else’s story, t and emotionless.


    Yet Agnes was totally freaking out.


    Agnes barely dared to look into Ryder’s eyes: “Why would you…?”


    Agnes was aplete mess


    Ryder calmly replied, “Im telling you this just to let you know that he didn’t misunderstand me. I don’t


    want you to not believe him and cause misunderstandings between you two”


    Agnes was at a loss for words.


    So, Ryder’s admission now was also to prove that Jared was right, to avoid any conflict between


    them?


    But


    Agnes felt like things just got a whole lot moreplicated.


    Ryder paused for a moment, his voice seemed to drift from afar


    “Agnes, Ive liked you for a long time, since the first day of college when you handed nie a bottle of


    mineral water I didn’t want to say it, but I know that hiding it now would only cause more


    misunderstandings. But there’s only one thing I want to tell you now, Agnes, like you. It’s my business,

    not yours, you get it?”


    After saying this, Ryder turned around and left the rooftop.


    Agnes stood there dumbfounded, staring at his back, muttering to herself, “I don’t get it.”


    Agnes was zoning out on the balcony..


    A gust of cold wind blew by, clearing her muddled thoughts a little.


    Once Agnes came to her senses, she realized that she had misunderstood Jared.


    And during that time, Agnes thought Jared was just being unreasonable, petty, and ridiculous.


    But now..

    ”


    Agnes found herself overwhelmed with emotions as she stood on the rooftop. After a while, lost in her


    thoughts, she decided to head inside. Unaware of her surroundings, she identally bumped into a


    man, and her reflex made her step back and apologize. It was then that she recognized the man as


    Ivan. Ivan chuckled, teasing her, “You still got that habit of not looking where you’re going, huh?”


    The memory of Ivan saving her from a near ident while crossing the street shed in Agnes’s mind.


    She felt a bit embarrassed and assured him, “I’ll be more careful.”


    As Agnes tried to move past him, Ivan called her back. Curious, she turned around and asked, “What’s


    up?”


    Ivan informed her, “The premiere date for The Magical Romance of Cindere’ is set for Christmas, a


    month from now. Are you avable? I’d like you to participate in the preunch promotional activities”


    Agnes replied eagerly, “Sure, I’m free. Just send me the schedule when it’s ready”


    Even though Agnes hadn’t signed any contracts, she felt it was the least she could do as a main cast


    member of the show.


    Ivan suggested, “Let’s have lunch together tomorrow. I’d like to discuss our uing work schedule in


    detail”


    Agnes agreed right away


    “Oh, by the way, have you seen Jared?*


    Ivan replied. “He should be in the break room. I heard Alyssa might have gotten hurt, and Jared went to


    see her.”


    Hearing that Alyssa might be injured, Agnes, not knowing what had happened, immediately said. “I’ll go


    check on her too!
