Chapter 759


    Everyone was quite taken aback by this juicy piece of gossip.


    "Does Director Bowman still have a thing for Mr. Whitfield, or why else would she be primping herself


    up in there?"


    "Nah, she''s already married, plus the head of thispany is her father-inw. I bet she just can''t


    stand the idea of Mr. Whitfield not seeing her at her best. It''s like trying to appear all perfect in front of


    your ex."


    "I sure would love to meet Mr. Whitfield''s ex-wife. She must have been something to ruffle Director


    Bowman''s feathers. Heard she was a Pritchard, a richdy and a big movie star. But after she divorced


    Mr. Whitfield, all the stories about her just seemed to vanish."


    Suddenly, someone turned to Agnes, who was still engrossed in her writing, "Hey Agnes, you''re a


    Pritchard too. Could Mr. Whitfield''s ex-wife be some distant rtive of yours?"


    Agnes had been hearing every word as they discussed the matter. She had been intentionally avoiding


    the topic, refraining from participating, and quietly focusing on her work. But why on earth did the


    spotlight suddenly shift to her?


    Agnes chuckled, "Well, here''s a secret, guys. That woman is actually me."


    Everyone burst intoughter, "Agnes, you can''t be serious! Everyone knows you studied abroad. If you


    were Mr. Whitfield''s ex-wife, then I might as well be Mr. Whitfield''s number one mistress."


    Another chimed in, "And I would be the second one then."


    "You are indeed quite a character." They allughed and gossiped, teasing each other.


    Agnes sighed in relief.


    She had done it on purpose. iming to be Jared''s ex-wife was the perfect way to make sure no one


    would believe it. But she couldn''t keep up this charade forever.


    When the truth came out, at least she had given herself a way out.

    But what she didn''t understand was why Jared had suddenly shown up at herpany.


    Did that afternoon aroused his suspicions? Agnes sighed inwardly.


    Not long after, Ynda emerged from the office. Just in time, as Jared and the station head walked into


    the newsroom.


    Ynda flicked her hair and walked over nonchntly. Upon reaching them, she greeted, "Dad."


    "Ynda, since you''re still here, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Whitfield, the CEO of Tim Group.


    They''ve chosen us to produce their promotional video. I want you to handle this project. So, it''s good


    for you both to get acquainted."


    Ynda, ever so poised, replied, "Dad, Mr. Whitfield and I are old acquaintances. No need for


    introductions."


    Then she turned to Jared, "Isn''t that right, Mr. Whitfield?"


    Jared''s gaze fell on Ynda, his eyes sharp as if he was sizing something up.


    No wonder Leo said that Agnes had been sorting old newspapers at work.


    So, it was because of her new boss.


    Jared gave a small smile, "Ms. Bowman, of course, I remember."


    The station head was delighted. The Tim Group had its own promotional team. Them choosing their


    Ynda added, "Mr. Whitfield, let me show you around our News Department. We have the best talent


    and state-of-the-art equipment. Choosing us for your promotional video is a wise decision."


    Jared seemed indifferent, not responding. His gaze scanned the room and eventuallynded on Agnes,


    who was engrossed in her writing.
