Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 40

Agnes blinked her eyes open to the sight of a handsome face.

Preston’s company, Starlight International Group, had a star actor named Justin, who, according to his fans, was a man to make women’s hearts flutter.

Agnes had seen him once at last year’s annual meeting and thought he was super hunky

When she saw Justin, she thought he was the most attractive man she’d ever seen.

But now, looking at Jared’s face, she felt he was even more good–looking than Justin. Even the contour of his jawline was perfect

Agnes could feel her heartbeat picking up speed.

When their eyes met, Agnes felt nervousness.

But she put on a brave face and smiled, “um, Good morning.”

Jared frowned, “My name isn’t ‘um“.”

“Good morning, Mr. Whitfield.”
