Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 809
Sharon chuckled, her voice laced with a newfound resolve, “Jared, I don’t want to be under your influence anymore. I’m tired of
people whispering that you’re my sugar daddy. and I’m sick of the crazy cutthroat showbiz world. I’m thinking of selling the house
and going abroad to study”
Jared fell silent for a moment, digesting her words before responding “Alright, III have Leo take care of it‘
“I need some space, guys. Just give me a moment to myself,” Sharon said, her tone firm yet weary
Agnes and Jared left the room, leaving Leo in the lounge Jared turned to him, “Stay here with her, don’t let her out of your sight.
That’s your job for the week”
“You can count on me, boss I won’t let anything happen to Sharon,” Leo promised, using Sharon’s nickname
Exiting the Riverview Estate, Agnes commented, “Is it just me, or does Lea seem a bit. you know, into Ms. Sharon?”
Jared raised an eyebrow, caught off guard, “How can you tell?”
“Just a hunch” Agnes admitted
“Let’s not start playing matchmaker now Jared warned her.
Agnes let out a light laugh. “Just teasing. But seriously, poor Leo’s been single for years. Don’t you think you should help your
right–hand man find some romance?”
Jared frowned slightly. “Maybe I should set him up on a blind date.”
“I have a friend, remember? The one I told you about, Nocturne’s mentor? I think she and Leo would hit it off. He’s charming and
capable, and he’s got that caring vibe My friend’s a genius but a total introvert when it comes to socializing They might be
compatible
Jared smirked, “Your friend, the top–tier hacker?”
“That’s her I’m planning to bring her back from abroad in a few days. Set her up somewhere quiet i worry about her living alone
out there. With her brains but no street smarts, she needs looking after

Agnes was genuinely concerned. Nate had lived with her for a year, and before that, she stayed at Eden Nights under the
watchful eye of Phenix. She’d always been cared for “Well, if she’s such a genius, let’s offer her a job at The Tim Group. How
about head of the tech department? Jared suggested
Agnes looked puzzled, “But didn’t you give that position to Mr. K?”
“That slacker? He’s been off chasing some feud with another hacker instead of doing his job. I’m about ready to kick him out.”
“Seems a bit harsh.”
“Not at all its his negligence that let our top systems at The Tim Group get hacked, spilling some sensitive data. We nearly lost
the Harmony Hollow project because of him. Sending him to a place without internet in Africa would have been letting him off
easy”
Agnes asked, “What’s the status with Harmony Hollow, then? Which company dares to go head to head with The Tim Group so
brazenly?”
Jared sighed, a weight in his voice, ‘It’s The Thomas Group”
Agnes was taken aback. The Thomas Group? Weren’t they managed by Valeria? And with a project as big as Harmony Hollow,
Valeria would have been in charge. It didn’t seem like her to
P to such lows against The Tim Group
She wanted press Jared changed the subject, clearly not keen on delving deeper
Agnes realized that when it came to Jared’s business troubles, she couldn’t offer much help, so she dropped the inquiry
