Chapter 755


    Agnes strolled in, making herselffortable on the couch and gently ruffling Nocturne''s hair.


    Jared got her a warm cup of coffee, asking, "How''s your first day at work?"


    Agnes shrugged, "It''s not bad, just a bit surprising."


    "What surprised you?"


    "Nothing much, just bumped into an old friend," Agnes casually brushed it off, deliberately changing the


    subject. She didn''t want Jared to know about Ynda just yet. With his personality, he would certainly


    get involved.


    And if Ynda was really trying to bury the hatchet, Jared''s interference might just mess things up.


    Eventually, Jared finished his work for the day, and Nocturne was fully awake. They headed to a


    steakhouse for dinner andter attended a concert. By the time they got back home, it was alreadyte


    into the night.


    Agnes tucked a sleeping Nocturne into his bed. Jared snuck up behind her, wrapping his arms around


    her waist, "Agnes, I feel incredibly happy right now."


    Agnes smiled, "Don''t worry, we''ll always be this happy."


    The next morning, after breakfast, Agnes and Jared headed to work. The TV station wasn''t far from


    Tim Tower. Jared had intended to drop Agnes off, but she refused.


    Jared''s car was the only one of its kind in Willowbrook Town. How could people not recognize it? Even


    those who didn''t would definitely give a luxury car like his a second look.


    The TV station was aplex ce, full of prying eyes. Thest thing Agnes wanted was to be


    news herself.


    On her second day of work, Agnes discovered that most of her colleagues were out in the field. She


    knocked on Ynda''s office door.


    "Come in," Ynda''s voice echoed from behind the ss door.


    Agnes entered, "Director Ynda, do you have any assignments for me?"


    Ynda grinned, "Agnes, your timing is perfect. We have a huge task. We need to organize the old


    newspapers in the station''s storage ording to their year of publication. This task is now yours."


    Agnes faltered but didn''t argue. She agreed to the task. After she left the office, Ynda asked an


    assistant to show Agnes to the storage area. When the door was opened, a musty smell of old papers


    engulfed her.


    The storage was enormous, it was almost like a small library. Rows and rows of shelves were stacked

    with newspapers from various years, all inplete disarray. The floor was littered with bundles of


    papers, making it look like a junkyard.


    Agnes knew this task was impossible toplete and, moreover,pletely pointless.


    The assistant mumbled, "Agnes, you can start sorting. I''ll be leaving now." And just like that, Agnes


    was left alone in the room.


    Sitting on a bundle of newspapers, Agnes knew she should have pped her resignation letter on


    Ynda''s desk the moment she was assigned this task.


    Clearly, Ynda''s promise to let bygones be bygones was insincere. It was only the second day, and


    she was already making Agnes'' life difficult.
