Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 77

Every room here had a balcony, and the distance between each wasn’t that far at all.

Agnes had no clue who her neighbors were, she just saw bright lights in their room, and everything on their balcony was clear as day.

When Agnes saw the face of the person, she was gobsmacked. For a split second, she thought she was hallucinating, rubbing her eyes in disbelief. When she opened her eyes again, he was still there, only with a chillier aura.

No hallucination! It was Jared she was staring at!

Agnes couldn’t help but feel that the world worked in mysterious ways. Why would Jared just pop up here? He was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, looking dashing, with a wine glass in one hand and the other in his pocket. The combination of the light and the moonlight made him look like a dreamboat straight out of a comic book, only the growing chill in the air was impossible to ignore. The balcony felt like a walk–in freezer.

Agnes first reaction was to freeze. They stared at each other across the few meters for what felt like forever.

Ivan walked up behind Jared and caught sight of this scene. Jared’s demeanor was frosty, and that look in his eyes could freeze hell over. And Agnes opposite him, her face was a mask of panic, her eyes brimming with undeniable tension. It was like walking in on a huge scandal.

Ivan furrowed his brows and asked, “Do you guys know each other?”
