Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 96
Not knowing if it was Agnes‘ illusion, but Agnes always felt like Jared’s words were meant for her.
Seeing Agnes staring intently at Jared, Justin waved his hand in front of her face: “Don’t tell me you’re crushing on him like all
the other girls. You think his face is prettier
than mine?”
Agnes reacted, and her intuition told her that she couldn’t stay here for too long. She quickly gathered her stuff, planning to
leave. But Jared was surrounded by a group of people blocking the door
Agnes squeezed out a slit from the very edge, lowered her head and kept saying. “Excuse me, excuse me.”
Finally managing to escape the studio, Agnes let out a sigh of relief.
All she needed to do was to disappear from Jared’s sight.
Don’t see me... don’t see me... don’t see me... Agnes hypnotized herself.
“Ms. Pritchard” A deep, clear male voice came from behind her.
Hearing that voice, Agnes could feel her heart racing.
But her feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, and she stopped.
Turning around, Agnes awkwardly asked, ‘Mr. Whitfield, did you call me?”
Even though she didn’t do anything wrong, she felt guilty whenever she saw Jared’s face.
Feeling like she had wronged him, all eyes were on her now
She could feel the icy, dagger–like stares from the other women.
Jared started walking towards her at a leisurely pace
With every step Jared took, Agnes’s heart felt like it was hanging by a thread.

She couldn’t figure out what Jared was up to, even Justin came over, standing by the side with a thoughtful expression on his
face.
Jared, can you please stop messing with me? Agnes wished she could plead to the heavens.
Seeing Jared stop, Agnes quickly said: “If Mr. Whitfield has no other requests, I need to go.”
Biting her lip discreetly, Agnes signaled Jared to keep his distance.
Jared completely ignored Agnes‘ expression, there was a gentle smile on his face, but Agnes only felt that there was a
something meaningful in that smile. Just as expected, Jared spoke: “I just wanted to tell Ms. Pritchard that your shoelaces are
untied.”
Agnes was taken aback and looked down.
She had already changed into her off–stage clothes and shoes.
She casually wore a pair of sneakers today which were indeed not tied up properly.
Before Agnes could react Jared slowly kneeled down on one knee.
Agnes was stunned, so was everyone else.
Jared was tying Agnes’s shoelaces, and his kneeling pose was so charming that it made all the girls‘ hearts flutter
Agnes was dumbfounded. She hated it when Jared tried to get close in public, but tying shoelaces was a bit too much..
Jared, are you trying to drown me in the sea of jealousy?
Agnes was so stiff that she couldn’t move, and her foot didn’t feel like her own.
Jared naturally finished tying the shoelaces and stood up, still with a gentle smile on his face “Ms. Pritchard, please be more
careful next time.”
Hearing the words “be careful“, Agnes felt a chill run down her spine. She felt like there was a hidden message in Jared’s words.
But in the eyes of others, it didn’t look like that.

What they saw was a pampering face, which made people go crazy with envy!
