Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 755
Agnes strolled in making herself comfortable 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 Yolanda just yet With his personality, he would certainly get involved.
And if Yolanda 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 and later
attended a concert. By the time they got back home, it was already late 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 a complex place, full of prying eyes. The last thing Agnes wanted was to become news herself.
On her second day of work, Agnes discovered that most of her colleagues were out in the field. She knocked on Yolanda’s office
door.
“Come in, Yolanda’s voice echoed from behind the glass door
Agnes entered. “Director Yolanda, do you have any assignments for me?”

Yolanda grinned, “Agnes, your timing is perfect. We have a huge task. We need to organize the old newspapers in the station’s
storage according 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, Yolanda 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 in complete disarray. The floor was littered with bundles of papers, making it look like a junkyard.
Agnes knew this task was impossible to complete and, moreover, completely 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 slapped her resignation letter on Yolanda’s desk the moment
she was assigned this
task
Clearly, Yolanda’s promise to let bygones be bygones was insincere. It was only the second day, and she was already making
Agnes life difficult.
