Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 787

Agnes stammered, "Justin, let go of me! Everyone is watching."

Justin chuckled, "We've been in the gossip columns before. What's there to worry about?"

Agnes was annoyed by this carefree Mr. Justin.

He was just as unpredictable as he was all those years ago.

Agnes was helpless, but the cameras were already flashing endlessly.

Agnes figured there was no point hiding, so she confidently joined Justin on the red carpet. After all,

she was heading inside anyway.

Agnes held Justin's arm, acting as his date.

Though Agnes wasn't in a ball gown, her business attire on the red carpet was commanding enough.

Even though she once worked in the entertainment industry, the industry was ever-changing. One

moment of inattention, and one could be forgotten.

Four years later, nobody knew who Agnes was. They assumed she was a new starlet that Justin's

company was promoting, pairing her with Justin to boost her profile.

This was a common strategy in entertainment companies.

Justin was moving unusually slowly, pausing every few steps for the media to get their shots.

This was not his style. He usually breezed through like a gust of wind.

Agnes gritted her teeth and hissed, "Justin, can we pick up the pace?"

Justin quirked an eyebrow. "I'm so handsome. It's only fair to let the common folk admire my stunning

looks."

Agnes nearly retched, "I know you're upset I left without a word, but don't punish me like this. Can we

move along? I'm a special correspondent and need to get inside early."

Justin glanced at Agnes and asked, "You're a journalist now?" Agnes nodded.

"Where do you work?"

"A television station."

Justin nodded. "Well, that's convenient. You can write tomorrow's headline. Call it 'Justin's New

Flame'."

"Come on, Justin, stop kidding around. I have serious work to do." Agnes said.

Seeing Agnes' seriousness, Justin didn't joke anymore. He swiftly led Agnes inside, ignoring the red-

carpet host.

Once inside, Agnes sighed in relief. She couldn't imagine how the tabloids write about her tomorrow.

Would they dig up the past and exaggerate it?

But Agnes couldn't worry about that now. She had an interview to conduct and was relieved to be

inside.

Justin asked, "Can you tell me where you've been these past years?" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Agnes spotted Jared, and Yolanda was right beside him.

Agnes was frustrated. "Look, Justin, I'll fill you in later. I've got some pressing matters to attend to right

now." With that, Agnes strode off.

Justin stood there, watching Agnes walk towards Jared, his expression growing icy.

How could she still be tangled up with that man after four years? Didn't they divorce?

Agnes had reached Jared, but her attention wasn't on him.

Agnes addressed Yolanda, "Director, here you are. Hans said you found my press pass. Can I have it

back now?"

Yolanda was surprised to see Agnes. How did she get in?
