Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 318

Jared chuckled coldly, "I knew it from the start. The eyes never lie, and yours are filled with desire."

Mariela laughed, "So you knew from the beginning that I had a crush on you. . Mr. Whitfield, you're such an experienced business leader that you've already honed your perceptiveness. However, Agnes is not like you, she is just a child who has not grown up yet, and ambitious people like me can better help you. How about letting me be your sword in the business world? I don't care even if you exploit me."

When Mariela saw her chance of seducing him going nowhere, she immediately changed tack. As long as she had the chance to be around Jared, she believed that one day she would win his heart.

Jared scoffed, "You aren't fit to be my tool."

"Jared!" Mariela's face began to darken.

She had never met a man like this in all these years, and Jared had lost his patience to argue with her.

Jared said sternly, "Mariela, your ambition has nothing to do with me. I'll pretend today's incident didn't happen. But don't show up around me or Agnes ever again, and don't let her know about today, or I assure you, no company will hire you in the future."

Jared's words were cold, he wasn't joking around.

Yet Mariela couldn't help but ask, "You don't want to tell Agnes. Are you afraid she'll misunderstand?"

"No, I just don't want you, a piece of trash, to pollute her innocence."

Mariela was shaking with fury.

All the men treated her like a gem, buut why did Jared see her as trash?

Did he really hate her that much?

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Agnes's voice came faintly from outside, "Jared, are you done bathing? Open the door, I've brought you clothes."

Jared gave Mariela a cold glance. Mariela knew what Jared meant.

If Agnes saw her standing in front of him in such revealing clothes, she would definitely misunderstand.

Jared wouldn't allow that.

Mariela gritted her teeth and hid behind the thick curtains.
