Agnes had already planned to avoid her.
Agnes responded: "It's nothing."
Then she was about to turn around and leave.
"Hold on."
Agnes turned back: "What's up?"
"Agnes, I don't care what Ivan promised you, but you better steer clear of him. He's been buddies with Jared for a long time. If you cause a rift between them, I won't let you off the hook."
Agnes felt uncomfortable: "Why would they fall out because of me?"
Mamie strode over, her haughty and cold gaze scanning Agnes: "I can't figure out what's so alluring about you. But you better behave yourself. I can't stand women like you who appear innocent but are actually manipulative. I've seen enough tricks in the entertainment industry, don't even think about trying to outwit me."
With that, Mamie strode off in her high heels.
Agnes was left puzzled.
She could tell that Mamie was hinting at something, but she had no clue what it was.
Since they'd already argued, Agnes decided to head downstairs.
She took out her phone from her purse to text Jared.
All her accessories were sponsored by luxury brands, including the small bag in her hand, studded with expensive pink diamonds. It was worth a fortune.
So Agnes was extra careful.
[So bored.]Agnes texted Jared.
In a while, Jared texted back[Then come back early, I'll pick you up.]
[No can do, it's work. But it'd be nice if you were here.]
