Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 4

Agnes was about to turn around and leave, but Elton spotted her, got out of his car, and grabbed Agnes by the arm. "Agnes, let me explain."

Agnes turned around, her tone icy. "Alright, speak. I'm all ears."-

Elton said, "I was drunk that day. I thought Jenny was you."

Agnes asked, "Are you done explaining? If you're done, I'm leaving."

It was rush hour, and there were lots of people coming and going at the entrance. Anita happened to be driving her car out of the garage, so Agnes turned around and hopped in.

Elton didn't chase after her.

Once the car was on the overpass, Anita finally asked, "Who was that hunk? The one who brought you roses this morning? Is he your boyfriend?"

Agnes shook her head. "He used to be."

"Oh, so he's your ex. Looks like he wants to get back together. But why did you guys break up? He's handsome, and seems to come from a good family too. Agnes, how could you let go of such a catch?"

"Anita, I have a headache. Please stop."

Agnes was usually cheerful, and it was rare to see her like this, even when her boss frequently criticized her.

Anita didn't ask any more questions.

Agnes looked at the night view outside the window, her thoughts drifting back to three months ago.

Agnes' birthday was on November 11th. Elton's birthday gift to her was letting her discover that he had a lover on that day.

And it was her good friend, Jenny Fitz.
