Beatrice was thrilled. Jared had just said there was a role that suited her.
What was that supposed to mean?
It meant Jared knew her well, so much so that he thought about her even when he was reading the script.
So, she held a special place in Jared's heart.
He knew Agnes would be pissed, but he still mentioned the role in front of her.
Beatrice was over the moon. It seemed her goal would be reached soon.
It was hard for Beatrice to hide her excitement. She grabbed Jared's arm and couldn't help but coo, "Thank you, you've been so good to me."
But Jared dodged her hand, a look of disgust crossing his face. This left Beatrice puzzled.
Still, considering Jared was fighting for her role, Beatrice brushed it off.
Maybe he just didn't like being touched.
Agnes watched the pair coldly, then abruptly put down her fork, "I'm done."
Then Agnes got up and left the restaurant.
Watching Agnes go, Beatrice immediately said, "Why is she so upset? We're family. It's okay if you help me. She's just being petty. But I won't hold it against her."
Jared seemed to ignore her, he got up and went after Agnes.
Beatrice watched through the restaurant window as Agnes walked out, got into Jared's car.
They both looked pretty unhappy.
Beatrice was thrilled.
If Agnes was unhappy because of her, or if a rift formed between them, Beatrice would be even more delighted.
