Jared walked into the hall holding Agnes‘ hand. It took a while for Agnes to realize the situation.

All eyes in the room were on Agnes.

The ladies from their social circle stared at her as if they were shooting sharp arrows.

Agnes felt uncomfortable and tried to pull her hand out of Jared’s, which made him turn to her and ask, “What’s wrong?”

Jared frowned but released her hand anyway.

Agnes added, “I’ll head out first. You go ahead with your stuff.”
