Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 144

"Oh? A famous movie star confessed to you, and you turned him down?"

"I just don't like him."

Agnes looked at Jared, her breath almost hitching in her throat.

Jared calmly met her gaze, raising an eyebrow slightly.

He closed the distance between them and whispered, "I'll let you off the hook this time, but keep your distance in the future."

The way Jared said it was full of implications.

His cool lips were almost touching Agnes'.

She could feel his warm breath every time he spoke, almost as if he was trying to seduce her.

Agnes' thoughts began to whirl.

Seeing Agnes looking dazed, Jared couldn't resist leaning in for a kiss.

In truth, Jared knew very well.

Agnes and Justin didn't have anything going on.

But not until Agnes admitted it herself did Jared finally feel at ease.

He kissed her for a long time... before finally letting go.

Agnes' face was so red it looked like she was about to bleed.

Her thoughts hadn't caught up yet.

She was supposed to be the one blaming him; why is it now him forgiving her?

Jared looked at Agnes' face, saying with satisfaction, "Come meet my parents tonight."

Jared's words jolted Agnes back to reality like a bolt of lightning.

"Meet your parents?"

"Our relationship is out in the open now; keeping it a secret from my family is impossible. I'm sure my father will take action soon."

Just as Jared finished speaking, there was a knock on the conference room door.

Jared said indifferently, "Come in."

When Leo walked in, he saw Jared holding Agnes close as if he had just been doting on her.

In front of Jared, Agnes looked like a rabbit being eyed by a leopard.
