When Agnes heard her grandma's words, her heart nearly skipped a beat.
"Gran, do you even know who you're talking about?"
The youngest CEO of the Tim Group, a business genius, lord of the Whitfield family, being called a softie!
Agnes anxiously glanced at Jared.
But Jared was smiling, his voice pleasant, "Gran's right. I'll work harder."
He even looked at Agnes after speaking.
Seeing Jared's smile, Agnes felt even more on edge.
Her Granny had made her favorite seafood pasta, mushroom soup, roast chicken...
The three of them huddled around a small table.
Gran told Agnes, "Eat up. You've lost weight since the last time you were here."
Jared was still standing. Granny didn't tell him to sit, so he stayed put.
Agnes quickly said, "You should sit and eat too. My grandma's cooking is better than any restaurant's."
Jared looked at Granny, who finally said, "Let's all eat together."
Jared sat down, tasted the food, and genuinely said, "Your cooking is amazing, this is the best seafood pasta I've ever had."
Granny scoffed, "Don't butter me up."
