Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 21

Agnes said, “He’s really not my boyfriend, so you won’t get anywhere with me. You won’t be able to score an exclusive interview with Jared.”

Upon hearing Agnes‘ confirmation, Jenny felt somewhat relieved.

She had gone through hell and high water to snatch Elton from Agnes. If Agnes was already chasing after Jared, wouldn’t that mean she had done Agnes a favor?

Jenny said, “I can handle the interview. But since our boss wants us to work together, I hope you won’t let your personal feelings interfere with our work. This task has been fully entrusted to me, so you gotta play by my rules.”

Agnes didn’t take it to heart, because only Agnes knew how busy Jared was. A guy who sometimes had to travel to four different countries in a day, how could he possibly spare time for an interview with a small school media outlet?

And that was how the first day of school ended.

Agnes heaved a sigh of relief, but strangely, felt a tinge of sadness. Thinking about what happened last night, it still felt like a stab in the heart.
