Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 142

Leo announced, "That's all for today's press conference. You can all scram now."

However, one brave reporter dared to ask, "Mr. Whitfield, any chance we could snap a shot of you two getting cozy for our headline?"

That was a bit much.

Mr. Whitfield was always icy. How could he agree so easily?

But against all odds, Mr. Whitfield didn't reject the request.

He responded indifferently, "All right, fine."

Having said that, he turned around, cupped the somewhat dazed Agnes's face in his hands, and planted a kiss right on her lips.

The room went dead silent in shock.

Even Leo was flabbergasted.

Mr. Whitfield was always aloof, keeping people at arm's length, and loathed having too much contact with others.

But now…

And the reporter only asked for a slightly intimate photo; maybe just getting a bit closer or an arm around the shoulder would do.

But Mr. Whitfield went straight for a kiss in front of everyone, clearly taking advantage of Agnes...

But then again, Agnes was his wife, so it was not too out of line.

The reporters were stunned for a moment, then quickly snapped out of it to capture the moment with their cameras.

Agnes had been somewhat out of it from the start.

All she could hear were the camera shutters, and all she could see was Jared's face.

After a long kiss, Jared finally let go of Agnes and affectionately stroked her hair, saying, "Silly girl."

Everyone at the door was dumbstruck.

Mamie's fans had initially come to expose Agnes.

But then Agnes suddenly became the legitimate wife, leaving them stunned at the door, not knowing how to react.

The secretarial staff were even more dumbfounded.

How could Agnes be Mr. Whitfield's wife?

A few months ago, Agnes was an intern in their department and was constantly scolded by Mr. Whitfield in his office...
