Agnes was staring blankly at Ryder.
She totally didn't see that coming...
As always, Ryder's face was cold and indifferent.
He spoke as if he was telling someone else's story, flat and emotionless.
Yet, Agnes was totally freaking out.
Agnes barely dared to look into Ryder's eyes: "Why would you...?"
Agnes was a complete mess.
Ryder calmly replied, "I'm telling you this just to let you know that he didn't misunderstand me. I don't want you to not believe him and cause misunderstandings between you two."
Agnes was at a loss for words.
So, Ryder's admission now was also to prove that Jared was right, to avoid any conflict between them?
But...
Agnes felt like things just got a whole lot more complicated.
Ryder paused for a moment, his voice seemed to drift from afar.
"Agnes, I've liked you for a long time, since the first day of college when you handed me a bottle of mineral water. I didn't want to say it, but I know that hiding it now would only cause more misunderstandings. But there's only one thing I want to tell you now, Agnes, I like you. It's my business, not yours, you get it?"
After saying this, Ryder turned around and left the rooftop.
Agnes stood there dumbfounded, staring at his back, muttering to herself, "I don't get it."
