"What the hell?"
"He's not into me; I’m just his plan B."
Ava could sorta guess the situation.
In the love story of Cinderella and the Prince, a princess is always a perfect match for the prince.
Seeing Agnes's mood, Ava didn't ask any more questions.
Agnes's phone started to ring. It was freaking Jared.
Agnes hesitated but answered it anyway.
Jared's deep and magnetic voice came from the other side, "Why haven't you come back yet?"
"Not coming back; I have work early tomorrow."
"You promised to come home tonight."
"When did I promise you that?"
"Hmm?" Jared's voice went up, "Do you need me to remind you?"
Agnes blushed instantly.
Of course, she remembered.
"I don't want to come back," Agnes whispered.
"Do you want me to pick you up?"
"No!"
"Then show up in half an hour."
Jared hung up before she could reply.
Agnes was pissed off but got up and put on her shoes anyway.
"Agnes, where are you going this late?"
Agnes sighed, "To see an annoying old man."
Ava, "..."
Agnes didn't dare to disobey Jared, so she obediently went to Maplewood Manor.
Maplewood Manor was brightly lit.
As Agnes started to climb the stairs, she was pulled back by a strong force.
